His analysis of the effect of excessive taxation is keen. The drive to| reduce taxes to that point where capital can resume its | functions in promoting enterprises, secure more jobs for | unemployed and greater happiness for greater numbers is | non-political in nature. | Mellon’s plan is really not a new plan. The publicity | agent’s weakness for a name or a slogan was responsible for! the affixing to the Treasury recommendations the name ot | the United States Treasurer. In common with students oi | finance, Secretary Mellon knows where unbridled taxation | leads and the paralyzing effect on business and enterprise. Secretaries Houston and Giass before him the plain economic results of improper tax rates. There can be no escape from the logie of Houston, Glass, Mellon or Un derwood. They see the issue from a strictly non-political | * view-point and Senator Underwood has given a most illum- inating analysis of the situation. The speech published in Saturday’s Tribune is of great importance. One sentence particularly is impressive: “The “power to tax is just as potent a factor to use in the destruc- tion of private property as the red flag or lighted torch.” And again: “We levied our taxes so high that we have chased much of the capital of the country into hiding and Have thereby reduced our revenue.” | He did not touch upon the vast field presented by the inequality of taxation, confining his remarks largely to the federal income tax and its effect upon the business structure | of the nation. “The genius of our great development,” he said, “has come through the massing of our dollars on some great en- *‘terprise and buying the brains and the labor to put it through. This takes idie money looking for investment and you will not find it at the appointed hour if you tax it to death.” He makes it very plain that although there is a consti- tutional prohibition against taking private property without ope and can be read | just compensation, there is no limit on the power of taxation | $7.20 | jing to a | tents. alled attention to | ¥ | who are wiser thin seven men th | | j | nnesota | |iliustrates once mc : tende f Ametic a | political move into every act of a| |pubiie man. ‘To most people the lthing appears entirely simple | ‘There is to be a centenary celebra jon of the first immigration of jNorsemen to tne United States: {which resulted in adding a sturdy | jand valuable race element to our | population.

Socialists and extremists failing in their attempt to destroy private property through direct action have often seized upon the power of taxation to achieve one of their cardinal principles. North Dakota has had a taste of this indirect action and has not finished paying the piper yet. ° WILLIAM R. KELLOGG There is a feeling of regret among those who have been identified with North Dakota journal during the last decade or so over the retirement of William R. Kellogg, owner and publisher of the Jamestown Alert. 2 conservative and constructive influence in the press of the state. For more than forty years he has been actively en- gaged in the printing and publishing business and was al- ways ready to lend his aid to the upbuilding of the state and the promotion of all that was good in a political way. He always took a deep interest in the problems of the farmers, and discussed intelligently the agrarian iss of this state. Hundreds of editors of this state will miss “Keg” as he was affectionately known and do not like to see him signing off as an active newspaper publisher. When occasion arose, he wielded a trenchant pen and engaged in many political battles. In his editorial work, he was closely associated in the past with such men as Jewell, Winship, Lounsberry, McClure, Major Edwards and many more who were pioneers in the journalism of their day. Mr. Kellogg has sold his interests to Hansen Brothers, printers,. who now enter the daily newspaper field. They plan a modern daily evening newspaper with many added ‘features. The Tribune wishes them every success in their new endeavor. WARREN G. STONE Organized labor loses a powerful advocate in the death of Warren G. Stone, president of the brotherhood of locomo- tive engineers. He ranked with Samuel Gompers in the councils of the American Federation of Labor. He had been the head of the railroad trainmen organization since 1903 and under his practical management it grew in power and influence. He was a well-paid labor executive, starting in his career at a stipend of $13,500 a year and at his death his salary was $25,000 a year, ranking favorably with the sal- aries paid some of the important executives of the railroad corporations. RELIGION BY RADIO Now the radio may replace the minister of the gospel in the small community where it is a burden to hire a resident preacher. A short time ago a congregation in a small town was without the services of a minister. In order that services might be held as usual a member installed a receiving set in the church and tuned in on a sermon. This method of getting the regular Sunday service has its advantages for the small community. ' The original cost is practically all the cost. It is possible to hear sermons delivered by some of the best in the profession. And pos- sibly ahother advantage would be that if a particular preach- er does not please-the majority of the congregation another - preacher could be secured without creating any hard feelings. 4 a i gill d who would have thought that‘the Democrats were cus just about a year ago?

What can [ do for you? For he suspected that the fisherman might have stolen a | Jewel and that he could get it from him for a few pennies. “The fisherman looked more con- fused than ever as he stammered, ‘I was just wondering what could be done with a pearl as big as—as big as—a cocoanut! The jeweler's squinty eyes looked squintier than ever, He almsot for- got to breathe. A pearl as large as a cocoanut! He got up and salaamed to the ground. ‘Come in, my good fellow, and dine with me,’ he begged, ‘We shall discuss the matter.’ “The poor fisherman did not know | @ What to say. He was afraid to ac-| | cept, but he was also afraid to re- fuse. The first thing he knew the jeweler was putting up his shutters for the noon hour, and beckoning. So in he went. “Never had the poor fisherman eaten such food! Soup, meat, and fine fruits of all kinds. | “‘And now for the pearl!’ said his [host ‘Let me see it! “‘T haven’t such a thing!’ cried the fisherman. ‘I only imagined it. j wondered what could be done itt “The jeweler was so angry that |he started to heat his guest. He beat him out of his house and into the ‘street.

If thou are wise, incline to truth; for truth, not the semblance, remains in its place.—Saa LAW PASSED 39 USED AGAINST Tacoma, June 15.—The _ cabalistie words “thirty-four fifty” ‘have struck terror into the hearts of| many bootleggers in thi they have more significance to the rum running fraternity than all. the| clauses in the Volstead law: “Thirty-four fifty” means section 3450 of the revised federal statutes, and covers an act passed by Congress in 1886, It refers to the transpor- tation of articles that have not paid an internal revenue tax, and provides | that the vehicla used for such trans- portations shall’be confiscated. The Volstead law has a somewhat! similar provision, but federal prose- euters here found that forfeitures under it were not successful owing to conditional sales of automobiles. So the government attorneys de- cided to use the nower provided by section 3450, and they have been em- ploying it with great effect. Every few weeks the United States: mar- shal holds an auction sale of auto- mobiles confiscated because they were hauling liquor on which no fed- eral tax was paid.

Rowell The California church that put on a three-days’ relay stunt of reading the whole Bible through in continuous ses- sion should have checked the flow of words for a moment’s thought at the text, “Use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for the’r much ; a real speaking.” What is the Bible that its mere words should thus be made a fetich of ? There are Tibetan lamasaries that intone day and night | their version of the Buddist scriptures, in a language which |the celebrants themselves do not understand. There are Mohammedan schools whose entire instruction consists of sing-songing the Koran, in an ancient dialect. The Vedic hymns and the sanscript epics were handed down for ages by the same process. To these peoples, the text itself, irrespective of meaning, has a magical value. If the Bible is that sort of a book, that is the way to treat it. Evidently, there are those who think so. Let U. S. Handle All Inheritance Taxes Florida is bidding for the wealth. legal residence of persons of First it abolished the inheritance tax, and now it is pro- posed to make anybody a citizen of. the state by affidavit and the establishment of a technical residence. It will be nearly as easy as the establishment of a divorce residence in Nevada. — course the same. It is a bid And the motive, in both cases, is of for trade. Uniformity of divorce laws, to meet the Nevada situation, is not likely. But why not uniform- ity of inheritance tax laws? States ought not to compete with each other in such taxes, and the national government ought not to duplicate them. The simplest way would be for the states to go out of the field entirely, leaving it for the national govern- ment to assess a uniform tax, and then divide it with the states. The Most Dangerous “Beast” of All The Gorgas memorial fund an- nounces a nation-wide campaign against mosquitoes. Sooner or later, that campaign will become a world crusade—perhaps one of the major activities of the future League of Nations. For mosquitoes are the most dan- gerous, as well as the most blood- thirsty, of the wild beasts left on earth, Bears and wolves are little more no purpose. than children’s bugaboos; lions and tigers are interesting sport, and even snakes, outside of India, kill scarcely more people than lightning. But mosquitoes slay their ten thousands, and disable their millions. They ‘probably extinguished the great Maya civilization of Mexico. They were a large factor in the fall of Rome. They prevented the Pan- ama Canal, until Gorgas took charge. They have devastated the tropics and much of the temperate zone with malaria and yellow fever. They make the arctic summer almost un- endurable, and rob the South Seas of their charm. Great and fertile regions are un- productive by reason of them. They still do more havoc than the great beasts ever did. They are one of the few creatures on earth that do no good and serve Exterminate them! FABLES ON HEALTH LIES HELP TO SPREAD TYPHOID Nothing could show more conclu- sively that flies cause typhoid fever than the yearly rise of the typhoid fever rate with the warm weather. The highest number of cases is reached in August, and by December the disease seems to die out. It is during these months that flies are the thickest. The best method yet found for the destruction of adult flies is the fiy- trap—not a ten-cent store trap, but home-made fly-trap, made big as a guinea egg Fanny Ward who seems to younger all the time.

The trap should be two or three feet high and 12 to 18 inches in diameter. The place for the trap is out of doors, not in the house. To kill flies in the house use:sticky fly-paper, and swatters.

But’ each title is signifi- cant enough to explain the context of the offending article. For example, the Mondo says, “Our Second edition was suppressed be- cause of an article entitled ‘Respon- sibility,’ commenting on a_ similar article in the Popolo d'Italia. Our third edition was suppressed be- cause of a comment on the reply of Minister Rocco on the interro; ot the Facist Deputy De Marsico about the transfer of certain Milan- ese magistrates,” GUNBOAT WITH DEWEY’S FLEET CRUMBLES AT SEATTLE WHARF Seattle, June 16.—The gunboat ° Princeton, which was with Admiral George Dewey when he won the Battle of Manila Bay 27 years ago, is crumbling at a wharf on Lake Washington opposite Seattle. The Princeton cost $250,000 in 1897 when she was launched at Camden, N. J.° A Seattle lawyer bought her in 1919 for $36,000, and has been trying ever since to sell her. After the Spanish-American War the Princeton remained in Pacific waters, and was sent to Samoa. There she hit an uncharted rock, and was about to sink when she limped into Tutuila, She was put out of com- mission, and four years later was brought to the University of Wash- ington for a training ship.
