NO IDLE WARNING Since the Democrats of the Se © joined with the “ollette rac cals in putting over an amendment to the revenue bill which would open up ail income tax reports t public inspection, it is inter tv note the reaction of the De cratic New Yor posal, and. the the Senate It was warning necepted as a basic principle under the income tax Jaw that all returns must be held strictly private by the. In- ternal Revenue Bureau. Even other departments of the Gov- ernment were not given access to them for official purpose In jumping to the opposite ex 1 p the § ate has | advisedly | To make all tax returns 7 cords open to inspec » Norris amendment pro- would wo: ave in- stice and open ay for erious abuses. e purpose COST OF EDUCATION of the tax is to raise r fake it out on the schools seems to be the slogan of the} Gi A le el tx reductionists. Just why the schools are singled out ha mit rever been justified. A survey of expenditures in the tion ethods or op- us political subdivisions will show that in most instances be school districts are not the worst offenders and that on he part of school officials there has been an honest attempt o cut down expenditures. Of course this does not apply to vur institutions of higher education where wasteful dupli- ations are adding heavily to the burdens of government Mon pent duplicating courses at Fargo and Grand Forks applied to the common schools would bring a rich return in extending elementary education to the masses. Actual figures on the cost of education considered per se without comparison seem high. In the United States there W spent in 1910, $498,019,738 and in 1920 the cost had soared to $1,219,88! These figures were gathered re- cently by the Educ Finance Inquiry under the auspices of the American Council of Education, But the increase when compared with mounting costs in other fields not disproportionate. Total governmental expenditures have increased four-fold; national defense in 1920 was ten times what it was in 1910 due of course to the war; highway expenditures have nearly tripled. The inerease in the cost of education in 1920 over 1910 was 145 percent. Rents went up 175 per cent; commodities, 154; building materials, 184; and building labor 203. These contrasts establish the fact that educational costs in com- parison are really low. “Tf the tax reductionists wanted really to lower taxes in North Dakota a study of yroll expenditures would be edif ing. Weed out the unnecess smployes attached to the payroll of every political subdivision. Check up purchases of supplies and install business methods in the purchasing departments. There are a hundred ways that will yield ereater tax reduction than curtailing expenditures for edu- cation. Four veteran card players are written up in Boston. Every Friday for 35 years they have been meeting for a game of “45.” And they haven’t yet decided which is cham- pion. The Chinese go them one better, frequently dragging ss game through several generations. sighted critic has figured up how many hours the fgur card players have wasted. To claim the time is wasted, is ‘Fidiculous. There is no better investment of time than a reasonable period devoted to relaxation, especially a hobby. One purpose of life is to be happy. is only a means to an end, not the primary goal. : WATER France is hauling 32 million tons of freight a year on he yivers and canals.

Water is one key to the transportation problem. PLUNGERS In 1919 and 1920 seven and a half billion dollars worth of new oil stocks were offered to investors, New oil stock issues now are averaging about 75 million dollars a bitter lesson. Some oil stocks are good investments, undoubtedly. But many others are not, as investors with singed wings will testify More money has gone into the ground in recent years than was taken out. ALCOHOL . A tragedy of the sea: The steamer Maria, liquor laden, ran into a tropical storm after leaving Havana. Her coai gave out. As a substitute fuel, the captain used the fire- water, $250,000 worth. Cargo counts for nothing when life is at stake. Tons of diamonds would be burned, if necessary, to get a ship to port. When whisky can run the engines and drive a ship through a storm, a reader gets*wondering if the day is com- ing when alcohol will take the place of gasoline as auto fuel It already has, to considerable extent, in Cuba. JE The announcer at KDKA said Adam was the first radio fan, since he made a loud speaker out of his rib. Critics are panning him now, claiming it’s an old joke, What if it is? Old familiar jokes look best. And only the best survives, ‘especially true of jokes. Furthermore, as in burlesque, a new generation is constantly growing up that has never heard the old stuff. Why are so many people bitter against old and established things? Is it vanity, this worshipping ‘of the new? z QUITS RAILROADING Engineer Tracy Wheeler quits railroading after 42 years in which he piloted locomotives two and:a half million miles.
