The government of a country has no means of paying its debts except by levying taxes, and there are limits beyond which t levies yield diminish ing instead of increasing returns. Tf it attempts to spread taxation directly over the whole people to an extent which lowers the standard of living, it certainly will meet with resistance, probably resulting in a change of administration and policy. Even if the creditor government should go into the| debtor country and attempt to levy general upon the population, the attempt Would be a ure. On the other hand, if taxes are directed only at the wealth of the debtor country, the effect will be to diminish the supply of working capital, which cannot be done without affecting industry unfavorably, causing unemployment, curtailin production the long rum reducing revenues, rather than increasing them, Furthermor ficulties that attend up: ttempts to sums from one country to another in money. Germany collects its revenues mark currency, but cannot repar: currency; and so Great Britain.

The debtor countries must produce an amount of commodities sufficient to cancel these obligations, in addition to what they have to produce to supply current needs and to rry on the current exchanges, and the trade and consumption of the world must adjust itself to such curtailment where needed and -expansion re needed as m be necessary to meet .these conditions.

We also oppose the present method of joint operation by government and private companies as it is ineffecient and expensive, responsibility can not be successfully divided. “Our competitors have built up large fleets through government support; our own government has helped dovelop our great industries by protec. tive tariffs; aid to our shipping interests should not be withheld, especially as they are of such vi- tal importance to our foreign trade and the Amer- ican people have such a large investment in the ships, aid through the tariff can not be given, but it can be given in some other form.” | o— Not Turning the Grind Stone ENERAL HARBORD states that from the time | Joffre representing the French and Bridges | representing the British came over in 19i7 until the date of the Armistice it was the ceaseless en deavor of their respective governments to use | American soldiers merely as replacement troops | in their own armies. From first to last Pershing had to contend against the constant British and French demand, first for American companies, then for American battalions, to fill up the de- pleted foreign ranks. Harbord points out that it was due to Pershing's effective resistence to these importunities that our boys who gave their lives in the war had the glory of dying under the Amer- iean flag rather than under the colors of some for | cign nation.

Lenna Lupton Bon: For Cost of Upkeep. Now it is the hich cost of haircuts that is blamed for the decline of bob- bed hair among the feminine follow- srs of fashion. The girls have found hort batr to be an expensive luxury. “When the craze was new.” said an uptown hairdresser, “the girls were lacking in barbershop experience They had no {dea of the constant at- tention required to keep bobbed ‘hair in order. The experience of their fathers and brothers meant nothing to them. Frequent haircuts for the male members of the race were sim- ply taken for granted, and no thought was given by the girls to the cost of keeping their shortened locks care- fully and becomingly trimmed. “Soon they found that once bobbed their hair calls for steady outlay. When it is considered that a girl must visit a barbershop several times a year and that the gifted haircutter is an expert in suggesting other things that cost money {t is easy to see that the expense runs into a tidy sum jn the course of twelve months. Some of my steady customers have stopped coming in and they tell _me that {t {s because they can’t afford it. They are letting their hair grow back to normal length to save money.” ——_—— What Is Psychology Probably no other word in the Eng- lish language can be found tn so many connections as the word “psy- chology.” The president of the Uni- ted States connects it with business depression; ponderous German _ pro- fessors connect it with their war's failure. If we turn from the news- papers to the university Mbraries we find the word {n more bewildering connections. We may take down a volume under the heading of Psychol- ogy and discover that it deals with the dancing mouse, or the spiritual aspl- rations of the medieval monks. Nor are swe helped very much when we pick up The Psychological Index and find thousands of articles of every de- scription covering studies ranging from the knee-jerk to race degener- What Tt {s the It is: scien- is psychology? study of human nature. c.

The. proposition wan carefully drawn, to insure popular support. Married men were allowed an exemption of $22,000, with an additional $2,000 for every child. Unmarried men were allowed an exemption of $16,000; less than’ half the voters were to be robbed under the new law. The union print- ers notified publishers of newspapers that if anything should be printed opposing the new law the printers would strike; union men generally gave notice that in case the proposi- tion was defeated there would be gen- eral strikes, and the country’s bus!- ness tied up. “Many thought the proposition would carry. Gold went out of circu- lation; many fled the country, taking a large amount of capital with them. Business was almost ruined as a con: sequence. But the proposition failed; seven votes were cast against it to one In its favor. Everywhere the people seem to be tiring of folly that is expensive and troublesome.” _ The Origirial Flapper Archaeo‘ogsts, ethnologists, _biolo gists, anthropologists and all of che other “ologists,"” have been bending every effort to find out the scientific in of the genus “flapper,” and at last. they have traced hor to her source.

The true original flapper was found in the person of Chachiuh- nenetzin, daughter of the Mexican King Axalacatzin. This lady fitted the ‘case exactly, for the records of the Aztec ‘court described her as a vamp par excellence. plainly some chicken, and abso‘utely without heart, and yet withal one of the most accom- plished petters in the wide realm of Anhuac. It is said of her that, finding that she had an unlimited field in which to eat cake, drink cold “tea” and pet the boys, she !mmediately started out to get a collection of mementos. Her methods were unique. After she had thoroughly vamped a likely looking finale hopper and petted him as long as the novelty lasted she had her ser. vanta kill the poor creature and. make a statue that she could kee: in her apartment. From her subsequent history it ap- pears that she finally acquired such a collection that she was on the point of having to sleep in the streets to make room for her statues, when she got her dates m'xe@ and had three of the candidates for winding sheets in on the same evening, with the re mult that the boys got wise, as d'd SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1923. By C. D. Batchelor You'd Hardly Know The Old Place Now, Reader; It Don’t Look The Same! BY JOHN HANDSHAKER (Alias Weed Dickinson.) Special Casper Correspondent. R= Well, Readers, I have a Friend around here which is about to Leave ‘Town, and I will say that do things keep on going the next few daze the way they are the last few daze there will be Very Little Left for him to Leave accept the Stumps of Trees marking where the Cyclone Passed and perhaps a’ couple of Stone Joints like the Midwest Building. Of course, the way the bors are going the other night, this Midwest Building will not be such a hard job to Move, at that. It is not So Heavy, Only Clumsy to carry arcund. ‘Well, I do not know what kind of a Party this Is going to be, other- w I will pass the Offace to my Boss not to bring any of his Choice Musical Instruments to it. My Boss js a very funny fellow that way, and has got the first Seven Eighths of a Musle Store out at his house, includ- ing everything I guess but a Soup Spoon and a Handorgan. He isa Accomplished Swiss Bell Ringer himself, and can, gets Not>s out of anything, from a Bank to a Base Bazoo. He does not care any more about these Instruments than a Eskimo dces about Gum Drops, Hither. For A Boss, which ts Notori- ously a Tough Kind of Folks to deal with, I usually do not have much trouble with this Baby; but he is Sertainly Touchy about these Instru- ments, and now I am in like a Porch Climber with him, and it {s not my Fault at all. Well, Roeder, I am sure a Hard Lue! ‘rd and no mistakes! Is it going to rain Culmbacker Beer, it will be my luck to be Out in it with a Severe Case of Locked Jaw and a Sieve. Is Money Liquor, it will be Just my luck to be born a Ardent Prohibition‘st! I am walking around this Country Now for some time, just Picking Them Up and Laying Them Down, and I will say every time I lift a Flat Dog, or Foot, somebody digs a Hole under it. Am I to Fall into a Show Case in a Jewelry Store, I will bet I/come out Covered with Soot and Coal Dust! Well, ns Iam saying, this Party is being given for this Friend of Mine which is to leave town, by Mutual Consent, and I gues he figures every- body will be s0 glad to see him go that they will Contribute Heartily toward making {t a Gala Occasion. Anyway, the first thing I know I am Promoting the Party for this Baby, like a Big Sap, and getting myself in Generally Bad like a Incendiary in a Powder Plant. This Friend is a Batchelor, and he has got no Igioo to: hold the Function in of course, so the first thing I must do is find a place for it. Now I have got to'find another place for the guy which originally owns the place I find, and what with Shortage of Living Quarters in this community, which {s harder to find than a Flee on a Hairy Mastodon, !t looks like I will be looking for some time. But believe me, I am glad of one thing— that T use my head and do not Dedi- cate my own Joint to the Festival. Well, the Party gathers along about Dusk, and everything is going fine for the first few hours. My Boss is there, as I am saying, accompanied by a Spanish Guitar, a Sweedish Mouth Organ, a French Saxophone and a German Mandolin, and he is getting by pretty good, too, although of course a few Extraneous Noises 1 likely to leak out of a band like that. I am just around there helping, and am doing pretty good for myself, and All and Sunday seem to be as Friend- ly as a meeting of Quakers. Present- ly, however, my Boss must leave to address a Literary Club or Something, so that {s that. Well, I do not know how it hap- pens, Reader, but the first thing 1 know after this the guy which {s hav- ing the party given for him says be does not lke the Location of the House. It should Face West, he says —not East. I can never Abide a house Which is Facing East, he says; and so seeing a Vacant Lot across of , the street he figures he will put the House over there, where it will have a nice Western Exposure. Well, the guy which cwns the houve is a Crabby sort of bird, and although the vote which is taken goes Over- whelmingly Against him, still he says the house is ail right as it js, and to leaye it alone. I try to reason with him, but Sound Arguments seem to Slide off of him Iike Pan of Milk off the Top Shelf. I show him very Conclusively that he should not treat a Guest like this, and besides, I ex- plain to him, the House is Hable ¢ get a nice Exposure from four dire tions if left where it {s, and he might just as well leave it be moved. But he.can not see it that way. He is a Dumb Baby somewaze, at that. Well, while I am down cellar with my Friend, which is trying to find out what Holds the House down, so he can cut it loose from its moorin: and carry it over across the strect, MK, notace one of the other guests is down there too. I would not notace this only for the fact that he leaves the Drawer of the Bureau he Crawls Into partly Open; but there’ he is sleeping in a Rather Cramped Position, When I get back upstairs I find three guys which {ts holding a con- versation, That is, two of them is holding the Conversation, and the third baby is Ambitious to Try and Hold one. He keeps on talking some, but the other two do not pay any attention to him. Well, he figures he must attract their attention some- how, and Get Notaced, so presently he hawls away and Socks one of the two Talkers. Then they notace him, all right. Both of them start to swarm over him, but I inject a few chosen words and that fight stops. A new one begins immediately, how- ever, with me in the leading role. Well, Reader, it locks like to mo that I am breaking up little battles all the rest of the time. I am so Kill-joy or Spoil Sport or anything, but I figure it {s too early for the Bouts, and they should be staged later. However, a little later the boys are all busy Moving the House, and Burying the Dead, so I guess perhansg” I am Parcipitate, at that, in Interfer- ing with these Social Amenities. While these matters are going on, my Boss returns and starts to play Little Peaces on the Spanish: Guitar. Mowever, he puts it down in a minnit, because one of the Wrecking Crew puts a foot through it while he is away. This baby {s always putting his foct in Something, I will say. And this makes my Boss very peevish. He would not mind did somebody Gang htm, or Steal his Money, or Roll him, or Set Fire to his house, but when you get Careless with one of his 67 Varie$.es of Musical Instru- pents you are Going Too Far, Reader! So he leaves the party Flat. Well, Reader, it all reminds me some of the graat lines of Southey, the Poet, I believe, which go you remember. “It was a winter evening when all the work was through, And out before the blasted door was rolling Brother Lou, And with him rolled upon the sn\ , the guests who could not bear to go © ‘The neighbors. found the house re- moved, as everybody planned, It is not now across the street,—but it can hardly stand; I don't know what ‘twas all about, but ‘twas a celebrated route. (Southey, I think). The place does not Icok the same now, and I do not feel the same, and my Boss does not act the same. I sertainly hope my Friend leaves town soon, believe me. It also reminds me of the words of Shakespeare, which says: “True patriots we, for be it under- stood left our country country’s good.” I hope my friend is well read in Shakespeare, Reader!
