If parents can be made to feel their re- sponsibility the battle for improved social condi- tions is more than half won. The truths told by one as prominent in social welfare as is Dr. Barker carry farther than when uttered by the parents, d plain speaking on sex topics now and then is ad- visable. The school cannot shoulder the responsi- hility; the parents must face the duty themselves as Dr. Batker pointed cut in an emphatic manner. A community effort to promote child welfare un- der the inspiration of a trained worker does untold good.

She awakes in the morning to find her hostess, hae left in the night—and the housekeeper in- forms her that she has been in- structed to take her orders from her. Barbara rules the gorgeous house {n solitary grandeur, not daring to leave. In a pantc she writes to her father who has. deserted ctvilization for a life of ease in the South Sea Islands, asking for advice, but the letter is destroyed.per orders from J. B. Hardiman, millianaire owner of the house.

Now the breakfast tray, lying close to her side on ‘the counter. pane, suddenly disgusted her. She gaunt woman spoke grimly. “What shall 1 tell him?” i “Tell him—tell him that the colo- nel'g lady and Judy O/Grady are not always sisters under the skin.” “That doesn't make any sense,”! Jsnapped Hanoah. “Who's Judy: O'Grady?” Barbara laughed. Her grouch was gone. “Is that your real name?” The phone buzzed again. Han- nab didn’t wait for an answer. She: was gone. What Price Glory?)

Congress and Farm Relief Congress, realizing that it is powerless to help the farmer’s economic condition very much through fiat of law, will confine its efforts at this session on legislation aimed to promote cooperative market- ing. Leaders in hoth Houses are confronted with many remedies fer farm conditions. Organization: representing the farmers are so far apart in their demands that to find common ground is an utter impossibility. IN considered farm legislation might bring dis- aster, economic as well as political. There is no agreement among the farmers and any bill passed now would not meet with faver. Bills passed merely as bait for vetes probably would be promptly vetoed by President Coolidge who let it be known that he| was against price fixing by the government or any form of government subsidy. Most of the demand for rélief comes from organ- izations, political or semi-political in nature. (The farmer who actually tills the soil knows in his own | heart that his problems must be solved on the farm and that political farm relief is pretty much of a gold brick after all. Secrecy in the Senate The secrecy of executive sessions of the United States Senate has been, at least in modern times, abeut as imaginary as the 'steenth degree north lat- itude, The Wadsworth-Perlman bill, which lifts the bars for the unmarried children, wives, husbands and par- ents of alien declarants for. citizenship who. cime | here before July 1, 1924, might let in more than a million immigrants in excess of the quota, and the bulk of these immigrants would come from the coun- tries whose quotas were drastically and designedly reduced in the last quota revision. 5 Some Striking Tax Figures (Minneapolis Journal) Out of every dollar of the National income in 1924, 16.1 cents went for public expenditures, as com- pared with 15.5 cents in 1923 and 9.2 cents in the year before the War, 1913. Less than one-third of this contribution went to the Federal Government, the other two-thirds going for State and local governments. The total of taxes raised in this Country in 1924 was $7,907 millions, an increase of 141 millions over 1923, and three and a half times as much as in 1913. But the Federal taxes declined 3.9 per cent in 1924, while State taxes increased 12.6 per cent and locai taxes 4.1 per cent. As an offset to the upward tendency of taxes is j to be noted the fact that the National income in 1924 was $63,600 millions, or almost double what it, was in 1913. We are better able to pay taxes today than before the War. But the national income is, declining gradually from the peak figure of $74,200 millions, reached in 1920, showing a decline of 3 per cent in 1924) below 1923: In 1925 there were 2,800,000 persons on the pub- lie payroll, or 60 per cent more than in 1913. In Theoretically a senator who told what happened | addition there were 900,000 persons supported by at one of these supposedly secret sessions was liable to expulsion. 4 Practically the senatcr who refused to speak free- 3 “Ty concerning them has been regarded, by correspon- dents and by other senators, as a foolish old Betty abeut the rules. So when a case comes up in which the majority warns the minority that, this time, secrecy must be the real thing—that any senator who talks is ex- ceedingly likely to find himself on the outside look- ing in—one can only draw the conclusion that some- thing unusually queer has taken place. That’s just what occurred in connection with the Senate ballot on the confirmation or rejection of President Coolidge’s appointment of Thomas F. Woodlock as an interstate commerce commissicner. Now, why, presumably, was the majority so extra anxious to keep the details of that vote from leak- ing cut? Senator Norris made bold to sufimise that the rea- son was this: The administration group in the Senate couldn't get Woodlock confirmed—which he was—without winning over some votes from the opposite side, and certain opposition senators, while personally willing to oblige, were afraid to have the home voters know they were doing it. This guess of Norris’ greatly outraged the feel-| upward tendency of taxation, due largely to the ings of various senators, who denounced it in pained tones, as 4 reflection on the whole senate, George stcod pat.

New public bond issues reached a peak in 192!) and declined only slightly in 1925, About 27 per cent of the new indebtedness went for highways and 21 per cent for schools. The net indebtedness of State and local governments as of December 31, 1925, was $11,650 millions, as compared with $8,697 millions in 1922 and $3,822 millions in 1913. | The Federal debt has been reduced an average of | £827 millions in each of the last six years, or $4,961 millions in all.
