DETROIT Kresge Bldg. a OVER-TAXED FARM iDongressman Charles Brand has made a practical itve toward the solution of farm troubles as they ast in Ohio. While others have sought a remedy “ough politics and laws, he is going directly to the igree of the agricultural ills. uthe Urbana congressman has documentary evidence ‘support his conviction that real farm values are yeed on the farms for tax purposes. This means t every acre of farm land is carrying the tax burden “from one and two-thirds to two acres. Such a sit- ion is enalogous to a corporation paying dividends 4 watered stock in the amount of one-half to two- cords more than its legitimate capitalization. spittle complaint has been heard in Washington or spwhere from Ohio agriculture, but it has real cause tilprotest against its present-day tax burden. After Spays his taxes, the representative farmer has little . Show for his year's labor. 4é is not difficult to explain the inflated tax valu- bons on farm land. During and immediately after © war land values were skyrocketed by food short- 5 and high prices for farm products. As farm values atnbed the assessed valuations on farm land were usted, which was fair enough. But the bottom fell of farm prices several years ago, and the tax valu- ens remain where they were at the peak of the niiod of inflation. The farmer during the period of Alicultural prosperity was able to pay twice as much nas he is being asked to pay today. ns MODERN GEOGRAPHERS tifotoring and foreign travel on the intensive and aensive seale in which they are indulged in this dntry is making a nation of expert geographers of ri people of the United States.

SEEING THE INAUGURATION usiness and civic organizations in the national cap- \ have unanimously approved the suggestion that next presidential inauguration be made the occasion a great gathering of Americans at Washington to the event and to see the government in action. he inauguration of a president affords an oppor- ity for strengthening the ties that bind an American « his country.

Had the present incentives for graft and corruption existed twenty years ago the graft and corruption would have followed then as now. The blame cannot be placed on the generation or the times. | MILLION-DOLLAR INCOMES Two hundred and eighty-three Ameri comes of more than a million dollars a y ing to figures just released by the internal revanue | bureau. That total represents a gain of 52 during the | past year. | These figures ought to prov sorts of people | with material for comment. The radical will declare | that they prove that our wealth is concentrating in the | hands of the few and that the common man, as a result, | is getting the muddy end of the stick. The conserva- tive will say they prove that we are more prosperous | than ever before, and that the wealth of the few re- flects an added increment on the part of the many. The | evangelist can doubtless build a screed on this luxury- | loving generation, with a few well-chosen references to the decline and fall of Rome. All in all, the internal revenue bureau deserves our thanks for making these figures public. A MURDER TO “BLOW 0) M” When a man is in deep rage, his actions are apt to move in decidedly unexpected and illogical directions. One James Nevins was locked up in the Cleveland jail, awaiting removal to the federal prison to begin a two-year term. Nevins was bitterly resentful against the judge who had sentenced him. He felt that he had been wronged, and as he sat in his cell he brooded until he could stand it no longer. < | So he wrenched loose a section of iron pipe from the wall—and proceeded to hammer the life out of Donald Prentiss, his cell-mate. Later he admitted that he | had nothing against Prentiss. It was simply his way | of blowing off steam. | Of all peculiar murders, this one, committed inside a jail, with the victim playing the part of luckless object of the murderer's wrath against another man, is about the weirdest. SING TO THE POLLS It takes all kinds of votes—and voters—to make an election. In Springfield, Ill, on election day, one of those marathon dances was in progress. One couple partic- ipating decided to vote anyway. So they danced up on to a truck, were driven to a polling place, danced in, Jjigged about while marking their ballots, then danced back to the truck and were carted, still jigging, back to the dance floor. Imagine how the nation would have suffered if it had failed to get the verdict of these two intelligent citizens on the great issues of the day! DA Editorial Comment | THE BOW IN A MAINE WOODS (New York Times) The four-day bow-and-arrow hunt of the Rovers’ club of Boston in November will at least give the deer and bears of Maine a sporting chance. Among the archers who will penetrate the Maine wilderness are Dr. F. Harper of the Boston Society of Natural History, and Cyrus Dallin, the sculptor. Hunting big game with bow and arrow is nothing new. While one would not care to meet the charge of the bull elephant or the rhino, the Alaskan brown bear and the king of beasts in Africa have been laid low by that means. Some master archers have taken a certain risk in hunting with the bow. The camera was freely used, and one suspects that the high-power rifle was within reach for an emergency. After all, the bow is a surer arm than the Amazonian Indian's blowpipe. The deer and bear which the Boston Rovers will at- | tack with arrows are really not dangerous. Of course, the ‘skill of the chese counts in getting near enough te- let fly the shaft. There is no risk to life and limb, un- less the Rovers unintentionally shoot at one another. FRIENDLY COOPERATION (Time) With eyes bandaged a Jew and a Nordic lay with ocular fraternity in Manhattan’s Eye and Ear hospital last week. The Nordic, one Bert Ferguson, had one glass eye. The Jew, one Charles E. Greenblatt, had a gauze-packed socket, into which a glass eye soon would be set. His extracted eye had had a tumor. His other eye was good. But Nordic Ferguson's other eye was bad. It bore a cataract, an opaque thickening of the cornea that prevented light images going through his peel and striking upon his retina. So hopeless was jis case that he had become an inmate of Manhattan’s Home for the Blind. And he is only 32. Thirty-two also is Greenblatt. Equal also are the color, size and shape of their eyes. Coincidal too were the accidents of Dr. Ben Witt Key, ophthalmologist, knowing both their cases. A sure eye surgeon, and a daring, Dr. Key thought of lifting the thickening cor- nea from Nordic Ferguson’s bad eye and grafting on the peeled ball the good cornea of Jewish Greenblatt’s bad eye. The Jew amiably agreed to the graft, the Nordic hopefully received it. And hopefully, with eyes bandaged, they waited for results. TIME, PLEASE (Des Moines Tribune-Capital) It was necessary for the British, from their distant end objective view, to show us how ridiculous is our haste. They comment humorously on the fact that in 10,000 New York people spend 5 cents each in telephoning to learn the time. _ It is not altogether a mistake, of course, for us to make the most of each hour and day. But sometimes we appear to be tied to the hands of the clock, that they move us if we were slaves of the time-machine. bably of these New Yorkers could have told the time approximately, by various signs. Probably many of them could not. But the loss of the ability to estimate time, a sense the primitive man has as if one of the original gifts of nature, is an amazing change. We have lost one of our faculties, as it were, and sub- stituted a machine. It was worth 5 cents to each of these people to know not the hour, or the fraction of the day, but the exact minute. It was worth this money and time it took to make the call, and if time is so precious that time, too. must have been worth more than the charge. It is no accident that many recent philosophical writ- ings have dealt with the idea of time as it influences the Western world. It is less important in the East. And two wholly different civilizations are the result of this difference as much as of any other that distin- guishes them. A BIG CHURCH MEMBERSHIP GAIN (Kansas City Times) Recent annual figures on church membership have prone varied comment. In some instances they ave been so interpreted as to create the impression that the churches were losing in adherents and that this or that undesirable condition with respect to the organizations might account for the decline. There seems, however, to be no occasion for alarm or even concern, As has been noted, the annual re- ports simply indicated a decline in the rate of member- ship gains, not a net loss. And the condition is to be accounted for largely through the fact that many of the leading church organizations simply have been pruning their membership lists of “dead” or inactive material. Assurance is to be had from another set of statistic: admittedly more dependable than the annual figures which were compiled by a private agency. The more trustworthy numbers come from the census bureau of the department of commerce. They relate to church membership in 1926, compared with 1916. Com- menting on this latest census, the bulletin of the Feder- al Council of Churches notes that the major Protestant lies showed a membership gain of 19.5 per cent in the 10 years, while there was an almost corresponding gain of more than 18 per cent in Catholic constituency. That showing, certainly, is not discouraging. The total of church members listed in the country was more than 54,500,000, or a gain of nearly 13,000,000 in the boy # ae ponent ard not tell fe whole of religious conditions in the country; but it is a valuable index to those condition: HE HAS BEEN A BLE TO MEASURE THE HEAT Y Joun TAE GOLD FISH IS JUST WATCH HIM TRYING TO GET _H Wb EAT OUT OF A COMMON "GARDEN VARIETY” FURNACE / By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Nov. 23.— Flushed not with victory but alternately in fits of disgust for the past and| bursts of hope for the future, Sen; | ator J. Boombogm MeWhorter has | returned to sit and sit and sit in the | senate for another four years. the full term of six years, mind you. The election taught the senator how to become the next president of the United States. There is some little satisfaction for him in that, of course, but four years is a long time and it is no wonder that, al-| though the senator is often to be found ki himself in cestacy over his invaluable discovery, the| next moment is likely to find him | kicking himself because he didn’t figure it out before. In that case, Senator MceWhor-; ter insists, he and not Herbert Hoover would now be the president- elect. And he assures your corre- spondent privately that he would} have wasted no time on a trip to South America prior to March 4. Senator McWhorter would have headed straight for Paris, where he has always wanted to go. | The logic international | situation, he would have been pre- pared to argue, demanded the Paris efore anything else.

Senator McWhorter would have} considered it his duty to make nightly good Avill trips in Paris, visiting the French people in their own haunts of pleasure and attempt- ing to gain their friendship and ad- miration. oe * Your correspondent made bold to ask the distinguished statesman the reason for his supreme confidence of election in 1932, hinting delicate- | ly at the undeniable fact that the MeWhorter _pre-convention cam-; paign of 1928 might almost have been called a fizzle or a flop. “Your memory is so_ darned good,” repli Senator McWhorter, ; “that you may be able to recall the Not], | prosperity almost irresistible popular demand which arose last spring for MeWhor- ter and caused him to enter the lists.

But were those same good people willing to stomach this all-devouring monster of evolution, which crawls into our public schools and debauches the minds of our innocent boys and girls? No, thank heaven! Here was a gigantic moral lesson which transcended religion, _ prohibition, and all other public problems and Arkansas voted by an- other goodly majority to bar evo- lution from her institutions of learning. “There is no issue today of such compelling importance as _ the monkey issue! “On that issue will McWhorter base his campaign for 1932. Are you a monkey, mister? Are you willing to agree that your grand- pop was a monkey? Of course you ain’t. And neither is anybody else. Holy cats, man—that next election, if we can keep those other birds from beclouding the real issue of jevolution, is going to be pretty near unanimous! “William Jennings Bryan saw it! He was engaged in making evolu- tion the paramount issue and was headed straight for the White House when God suddenly called him home. Nobody arose to take his place. But it isn’t too late.
