The taxpayers evidently realized that possession of these utilities opened the way for extravagance and the creation of a political machine that might continue in power through the thousands added to the public payrolls.

Most of us,would be inclined to say: “Let Couzens keep the money. What’s 10 cents to me? “Which, tragic enough, epitomizes the interest most of us take in our national government. A GORGAS Francis X.

HINDENBURG FOR PRESIDENT There is a dramatic development in the German national campaign. Field Marshal von Hindenburg, after long hesi- tation, agrees to run for President as the candidate of the Nationalist Party.’ He is put up to beat William Marx, who calls himself a “Republican,” and is what we might calla moderate Socialist, and who represents a powerful group of liberal blocs. Other candidates hardly count. Apparently it is to. be Hindenburg against Marx. This blood-and-iron militarist is backed by Tirpitz and Ludendorff, and is believed to be backed also by the former Keiser himself. Thus the campaign takes on the -appear- between Kaiserism and republicanism. ; If Hindenburg can win, with his record of reaction and with such support, probably all such efforts as the Dawes settlement are in vain. If he can win, Americans have been, any money they lend Germany and any efforts they make to riend any. j . But it seems unlikely that Hindenburg can win. . The former Kaiser is thought to have small influence except upon the Old Guard of Prussians. It :is unthinkable in America. that’ Hindenburg can turn the clock backward and. sweep off their feet the nation upon which he and ‘his. kind have heought such calamity. But we shall see. if the taxpayers do not wake up, not only in your eity, but all over North Dakota, and call’a hault, they will all be taxed to death. I know just how you must feel, for I went through a lot of the same nt:- dicine the past session, and especial- ly did I work hard to get cuts in the “two big bills,” but it was all of no use, unless the people take these nfatters into their own hands. I, for one, appreciate a newspaper that puts up the fight you did in this tax matter, although hundreds upon hundreds seem not to pay any attention. Yours truly, J. W. Hempel.

Con- jsequently they shrink from voting, on it, they refuse to talk abou it and they shiver when they hear any-| body else discussing it, lest they be} dragged in. Yet it’s a subject Pinchot is dig- | ging into continually. If he treated it as a problem of his own, in his capacity as governor of the Key-! Stone State, it wouldn’t be so bad, but he persistently presents it‘as a! national issue.

In the first place, Pinchot is far from a “regular” Republican. He wants to take his toga away from Senator George Wharton Pepper, who is. Congressman L.

The whole operatton of the Senate has been clogged with inefficiency, and the prestige of the Senate it- self has declined.

Then the fun began. The Balloon Man was just getting his balloons blown-'up for the circus when a grain of snuff blew up his nose. : : “Achoo!” he-went. “Achoa! Achoo!
