The spirit is For there are te, the satisfying sensation of helping to shape nies of a commonwealth’s government, the pride In this respect the Nonpartisan League does not differ from most other organizations of its kind. Nor is it unnatural that when an organization is an “out” and desires to be an “in” its guiding star may be the places of trust and responsibility, with accompanying pride of possession and emoluments, rather than some less material objective. There was surpriSingly of the deliberations little of the in league the press meeting on reports the “program” which has in days gone by been referred to with awe of its potential magnificence and the allure of a beautiful dream. The illusion, it would seem, would have been smashed, for the league men and women who saw in the raising of towering mills and elevators and the fashion- ing of an old plan of banking anew the dawn of a new economic day. Gone from this convention were most of the leaders of old of the league, who created this beautiful mind’s Utopia. The memory of their struggle against the odds of an tnsound principle remained together with the cold, hard facts that these great business enterprises had not only failed in the curative effects claimed for them but had brought great debts which can only be dissipated -through extraction of hard-earned dollars from the tax- payers. The league reaffirmed the original platform and the con- vention sought to cast odium for the losses sustained by the industries since the league relinquished power upon the league’s successors. ization to give up the clinging hope of the New Day, but it is reasonable to believe that if the spirit of the leaders of; the organization had been dampened by the failure and: their eyes turned toward new economic remedies, that many good leaguers back on the prairies who had not basked in| the glory of greatness, nor hoped to ascend to the seats of! the mighty and gain the remunerations, might have come to the hard realization of the futility of the entire grandiose Although the leaders reach forward for new weapons to achieve their aims, is it not possible that many of the followers would rather place their trust in the time- scheme. It is hard for the leaders proved instruments of the former days. For were the Nonpartisan League being formed in the convention just ended here, it would in all probability have adopted a different “program” from the original program. The boundary of the vision of the leaders of the original organization was the state line, but since there has unfolded the possibility of a greater power and accomplishment with the nation or the world as the stage. would have been passed over were.the league just now be- ginning.

REDUCING TAXES In all this cyclone of talk about reducing taxes, ‘let’s remember that national taxes are not the only ones. government bulletin reveals these surprising figures: In 1923 the national government collected 3204 million dollars of taxes. No 1923 figures are completely available = as yet for states, counties, cities, towns and rural districts. == But in 1922 these combined collected 4228 million dollars in taxes, or nearly a third more than national taxes. The tax burden of the American people is somewhere around seven and a half million dollars a year—including all taxes, national, state, county, municipal, and so on. a This is about $70 a year for every man, woman and child. = For a family of five, it averages $350 a year.

A BIG JOB FOR MANY HANDS | There has now come a well-consid- | ered straightening away of lines for a direct assault on the emergency | which has borne down with sévere | stress on the wheat farmers of the Northwest. It is correct to say that; President Coolidge is commander-in- | chief of the attacking forces, In the | skirmishes to date he has had the loyal support of the fighting staff under him. There are details of the general battle yet to be agreed up-| on, but these will be worked out in! consonance with a strategy, the broader aspects of which already have been determined, The President did not call in vain for private enterprise and capital to come to the rescue. It is now well assured that the constructive co-oper- ation he asked for will be given, A 10 million dollar corporation is fo be underwritten by private capital as an aid in straightening out the difficul- ties of the wheat farmers of the! Northwest and of the banks which’ tried, with greater or less disaster, to carry the farmers along and keep the financial house i order, The corporation, though organized _pri- vately, is to have the backing of the War Finance corporation, President Coolidge ment of the providing for favors enact- Norbeek-Burtness bill government loan to facilitate diversified farming. He will be quick to raise the tariff on wheat from 30 cents to 45 cents a bushel under the elastic clause of the | Fordney-McCumber act if the find- ings of the tariff commission provide | sanction for the increase. His mind} is still open as to the wisdom of en- acting the McNary-Haugen bill pro- | posing to create a government cor- | poration to handle the exportable surplus of farm crops. The alert, active interest of the President, the readiness of private enterprise to join in the quest for wise ways and means, and the gen- eral congressional atmosphere, all! contribute to the hope that the emer- gency in the Northwest will be dealt with informedly and effectively. When, or if, the Federal govern- ment and private capital co-ordinate their efforts along the lines suggest- ed above, there will still remain much to be done, and the doing of it is a very widely shared obligation, It duty incumbent on Congress to enact a sound income tax revision bill, and by a sound Dill of this kind is meant one that will lighten both the direct and indirect burdens of in- come taxation, It will be the duty of | farmer beneficiaries, if the Norbeck- Burtness bill is passed, to do their! utmost if making the relief measure accomplish all it is designed to ac- complish. It will be the duty of those who are helped in financial reconstruction to adhere in future to sound banking principles and policies in every instance, Overbanking should be avoided as zealously as poor banking. It will be the duty of state and local governments to do everything in their power to keep to a reasonable minimum the cost of government and the institutions sup- ported by taxation. i “it is of the utmost importance we should keep out of our minds any idea that the Federal government alone can or should straighten out the tangles that have caused so much trouble. It is not enough that its forces should be pooled with the forces of private capital. The states of the Northwest have something to do in the way of constructive co- operation. County and city govern- ments also have something to do. It’s a great big job for many hands, and the job will not be mastered if there are shirkers anywhere along the line that leads from the farm to the na-/| tional Capitol and the White House by way of almost innumerable inter- vening agencies.

Not only did they like the Riddle Lady with her merry smile, and also the people, from Humpty Dumpty to the Tattered Man, but they loved to guess the riddles! They hoped the Fairy Queen would let them stay for a while—that is, as long as there were any riddles to guess. They ran to meet the Riddle Lady next day when she came. “What is it about this time?” begged Nancy. The Riddle Lady laughed, “It’s about a queer creature,” she said. “The queerest creature you ever heard of. What is it? “A leg on cach one of his corners, And whiskers each side of his nose, And a nice little tail That sticks up like a sail, And follows wherever he goes. “His nose is the funniest ever!
