On the contrary, it has passed a mangled tax reduction measure which, if enacted, would mean a Ceficit of fifty-five millions next year. How, then, is the bonus to} be financed, even if its aggregate has been reduced by more than (Established 1873) THE STRONGEST REPUBLICAN | Whatever the final outcome of the South Dakota vote may | be, it is evident that President Coolidge by the strength he as shown in the twin Northwestern states together with his well known strength in the east and middle west has estab- lished thet among the candidates for the Republican nomina- tion now in the field, he is the leader. There is convincing evidence in the balloting that a large block of farmers in the Northwest believ. that the President is honestly trying to administer the affiirs of the nation in straight-forward fashion for the benefit of all. What might happen in the Northwest if:a third party entered the field is a matter of conjecture. It does not fol- low, from the protest registered, that the third party candi- date, even if it is LaFollette, would sweep this section Strom g as he is, the result of vote-splitting which would come if # <nrd party entered the field is at this time merely a matier of speculation. FIRE Uncle Sam’s 146 national forest reserves were visited by| nearly 10 million people last year, it’s announced. Eight | millions came in privately owned autos. | The auto is taking us back to nature. As we increasingly | invade the forests and use them for playgrounds, let’s re-| member that fire is the most formidable agency of forest | destruction and prevention of reforestation. | Four-fifths of the big forest fires are started by people | careless with campfire, matches, cigarets and other tobacco. Be cautious in the woods. 2 RACE BETWEEN CITIES Los Angeles, racing with Detroit for position as fourth «largest city, claims it will pass Detroit before the end of 1924. At that time Los Angeles expects to have at least 1.275,000 population. The cntire Pacific. Coast is growing with amazing speed. li ‘s quite possible that “the coast” eventually will have the naticn’s largest city, even larger than New York. Such vould be a logical development if, as many experts predict, our foreign trade future lies in the Orient mstead of Europe. SHRINKI Another big natural resource, lead, is vanishing rapidly. Prospectors constantly seek, without success, new big de- posits of lead ore. », Of minerals, oil, gas, chemicals and other things, there is just so much in the earth. They’ll be used up, not in our day, but some time inevitably. What will the world do then? One natural resouree—forests—will disappear within the lives of most of us, unless trees are planted on a much big- ger scale. |by Mr. Harding, half from that of the measure pass- ed by the last House and vetoed | Certain members of the Senate! Finance Committee have a plan all! mapped out. Their idea is not to} pay off the war debt so rapidly as | is now being done. At the present rate of payment, we shall cléan up the entire war debt, ept the eleven billions coming from our late allies, in some thirty-two| years. ‘The extinction of the for-| ign war debt will take longer, de- | pending on how soon ather debtor | nations follow Great Britain's ex-| ample and begin payments, | WRUE SHITH, ARE Your FEET WET?. In order to finance the bonus, | these Senators plan to ent the sinking fund rate in half, and thus! the 9 of, war debt} 2 by They | rge that posterity should carry a} war load. The} re of the nsteri is not here and has no vajce in the matter, does fa t vote and will not do so ne time, may explain this jal willingness to pass the load along. But there is the present status of national credit to consider, and| the obligations of the Nation to! holders of Liberty bond: These are, matters affecting us here to-/ day, and the evils inherent in a policy of delaying war debt pay- ment could not all be passed on to! could see him’ and they all thought! poster We should experience them ourselves. The new bonus measure is per- haps the best yet devised, since it! cuts down the total gift and dis-|{ tributes the financial. burden to! better advantage. But the fact that the holders of these policies may in two years borrow up to ninety per cent of their paid-up value, ! brings in an economic factor of 4 potency not now to be calculated. The inflation of credit thus threat i ened is certainly something to be reckoned with. The need for Cong! to pass a real tax reform measure, one that will not create a deficit, but will turn livé capital back into the/ hannels of business and industrial | terprise, is greater than ‘ever. in| view of, the bonus situation.—Min- neapolis Journal. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS — BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Oh, dear!” said the napkin rab- bit, “Doofunny Land would be grand place, if it were not for that, dreadful rubber dog.” i “GAS” Nearly seven gallons of gasoline a month are being man-| ufactured for every man, woman and child in America. It’s; an increase of more than a tenth in a year. ! The earth still holds fabulous quantities of oil. But the oil was placed there ages ago and is not being replaced. What will be the future motor fuel when gasoline “gives out” or becomes prohibitively high in price? The real return of John Barley corn may be, to take the place of gasoline. If so, a large part of the population has already learned how to make its future fuel. TOLEN AUTOMOBILES Enright, New York’s police commissioner, has anothe' good idea: ownership of autoes until proof of ownership is presented. Nobody would then steal a car unless he was able properly to license it.” Ai Such a law, coupled with prohibition of the sale of pistols to any except officers of the law, would reduce crime a lot. The auto and pistol are the modern weapons of crime. HOW MANY ESCAPED? | Proudly the national prohibition officers announce that in 1923 they arrested 64,523 people charged with violating the liquor laws, | How many violators escaped arrest? They certainly | number into the millions. A national referendum is the only way to learn whether the prohibition amendment is govern- ‘ment by majority or by minority. FOR THE FUTURE The Gray children give $70 to the city council of New 222 Haven, Conn. They request that the $70 be placed in‘a sav-|, “Well, then,” said the little man, ings bank for 300 years, when it will have increased, by com- pound interest, to 14 million dollars. Then it’s to be used for tharity. ‘Why not make a similar arrangement for paying off at least part of our national, state and municipal debts? in MANY IDLE MEN 3 “Germany announces she has 15 million people living on charity, and 5 million able-bodied men without jobs. Any move to untangle the European situation must be based on providing work for every German able to work. Reparations, in the long run, are paid by human labor con- verted into cash, rather than by financial juggling. Some fool economists think it’s mainly a matter of-bookkeeping. PIPES TABOO Prohibition takes strange and futile forms. In Bulgaria the government forbids the sale of cigars and pipes. The purpose is to check the rapidly growing popularity of pipes and cigars. Bulgarians are deserting the cigaret..

His wife, who had demonstrated her origt- nality by calling hersel? Mrs. Mi- nor, was what is known as a spiff- ing cook and a topnotch dresser. She had, in fact, the most chara ing assortment of sports clothes in the camp.
