It was one of the most disastrous storms the middle west has known, both in loss of life and destruction of property. From every section of the nation the American people are rushing aid of every description to the survivors, while state and city governments and business corporations and individ. uals are caring for immediate needs. Let misfortune overtake our own or any other peoples of the earth, the response from the American people is inetans taneous and to the limit. The property damage, while tremendous thronghout the cyclone area can and will be restored, but the loss of loyed ones will sadden communities in a half dozen states for a long time to come. Sand Hills Poet The people back home have been wondering how congress- men figure they are worth $10,000 a year to the people, or worth the half of it for that matter. It has ‘been discovered through Senator Norris of Ne- braska, who lately perpetrated a string of doggerel on bis superior Vice President Dawes. And when we say “superior” we mean it in every possible sense, as a citizen; as a Repub- licun, as a statesman, as a doer of good and great thing By all means we need more writers of doggeral in con- gress, it shows culture of which the nation has heretofore been in ignorance. It has all along known of the existence of the bunk. The people should rejoice that their senators have turned to rhyme eyen if it is rot. Open Faces Laws to prohibit the wearing of masks in public, or parad- ny by hooded and disguised persons. ates as a partial solution T ing ow any street or highway have been suggested in several st of the Ku Klux Klan problem. In wearing of masks in public, or entra by masked persons, has been passed and signed by the nor, Mrs, Ferguson, The question arises whether, under the American system of government, the state has the right to enforce such a regu- lation. Doubtless, where permits are required for processions or parades, the head of the police department would be within his discretion in withholding a license from a body of men who proposed to wear masks, especially if masked flogging parties had been operating in the community in the name of order and morality. But a flat prghibition of the use of masks might run coun- ter to the recognized personal rights of the American citizens, including the right to privacy and the right to innocent fun, as practiced, for « mple, at Halloween entertainments, The courts of Texas probably will be called upon to determine the yalidity of the antiammask statute. Should it be upheld, and should statutes requiring the filing with the authorities of the membership rolls of all secret organizations also be sustained as consistent with American principles, the various “klans” as a bill forbidding the ice into private residences goyer- supposedly organized to aid the duly constituted officials in the nd, or be- enforcement of law and deceney would have to disbi come open and frank auxiliaries of the lawful agenc the latter alternative, however, there is nothing terr disagreeable to sincere upholders’of law and o Time Honored Question Do immoral plays, movies and books prov that the people are immo: because they want that sort of thing, or does this sort of thing mak® people immoral? Probally a little of each. Treland’s ind’s Way Word comes from Dublin that American moying-picture concerns re served notice that “unless the Irish governinent gives a freer hand to the censor in dealing with triangle dramas and divorce questions,” they will submit no more pic tures to the Irish censorship. ty per cent of the films se to Ireland are rejected, they complain—and among these ar some of the be box office attractions.” The chairman of the film censorshiy peal voard replies that the rejections amount to only eight per cent. “We are not obliged,” he adds, “to take low, vile, unclean stuff merely because it is of box of- fice value.” Censorship is a delicate and worrisome problem, but most Armericans—even including motion picture faus—will secretly applaud the Irish censor’s refusal to surrender to the “box office” standards. They may even go farther and ugree that an eight | nt cnll-out of the film “rots and spots” could be effected with benefit and advantage over here. Gaining Experience at a New York city girl studying law college has been arres ted twice for speeding her automobile. She couldn't pay her fine so she had to spend a day in jail. “IT haven't got the money, so I'll take the in jail, your honor,” she said. “Anyway, I’m going to be a lawye: I guess the experience will be good for me.” If she keeps on speeding, some judge ought to see that she gets plenty of experience—in jail Too Drastic Punishment Goucher College, Baltimore, imposes the supreme penalty of expulsion on a girl who was caught smoking one tiny little cigarette. It was a Shukes re woman who said, “Oh, it is bllent to have a giant’s str h, but it is eruel to use it like a giant.” And when Draco made it a capital offense to be idle or to steal a cabbage in ancient Athens, he merely brought all law into disrepute. Loaning Government Funds Government money loaned to farmers through federal in termediate credit banks amounts to $60 421. Direct loans to them in January amounted to $ 31 and rediscounts to $2,- 688,045. Loans to agricultural credit corporations amount to 78 and to livestock loan companies $8,640,216. Tobacco growers have owed #21 1,121, while wheat growers have had only $1,724 Cotton men got $11,015,500, and $4,000,000 went to the raisin industry. . he Casper Daily Tritune Ten minutes is the time in which one of the simplest The Tribune ha s printed.

This was the case in spite of the fact that fluctuations tn the volume of freight business were relatively very small in 1923 and much larger in 1924. “The number of men emploved tn 1923 varied’ from 1,779,516 in Jan- uary to 1,973,605 in August. a dit- ference of 193,989, In 1924 it in- creased from 1,749,927 ip January to 1,822,616 {n October and then declined to 1,736,699 the maximum fluctuation being only 85,917. Large as this decline from October to De- cember was it was less than in the corresponding period of 1923 when the reduction jn the number of em- ployees was 142,715. “The number of men employed in the maintenance of way and struc- tures department always has been subject to wide seasonal variations. The maximum fluctuation in em- ployees in this department in 1923 w 145,558 while in 1924 tt was only 93,468. “To what extent changes in, con- ditions and changes in policy, respec- Uvely, caused the fluctuations to be so much less last year than the year before it is impossible to say, but that efforts being deliberately made by the managements to bring about greater stability produced much of the result cannot be questioned.” i ABE LS Future Tax Revision Speaking of the revenue act of 1924 and the necessity for future tax revision Secretary Mellon has said: “From the Sixty-elghth congress there emerged the revenue act of 1924. This act abolished some taxes, rgduced some rates and followed ‘in the main the recommendations of the Treasury as to administrative changes. In its failure to reduce the maximum surtax below 40 per cent and in {ts increase of estate taxes to a maximum of 40 per cent the revenue act yiolated | certain principles of taxation which TI feel to be fundamental to any sound re- form of the tax system. ‘This may be tax reduction. It is not tax re- form. This may {mpose high rates on large incomes and estates. It does not insure continuation of large rev- enue to the government. This may seem to make wealth pay. It only overburdens industry and initiative. “We still are faced then with the necessity of establishing economical- ly sound rates of tax. But>we are in a better position today to make the reform comprehensive than we were in 1923. Now we approach a fiscal year with an estimated sur- plus of $368,000,000. This, mind you, is after we have absorbed the losses of revenue brought about by «the 1924 act. Furthermore, we are in a better position to approach tax re- form, because the country at Jaren Let Us Solve Day Problem We believe we can be of service to you. fer to have We can meet your every wash day need. s we offer: some of the service: FINISHED SERVICE—Everything fashed and every- thing ironed.

SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1925 better understands the question in- volved. “As the cost of government, par- ticularly that of the states and municipalities, has mounted in’ the last few years, there has arisen the necessity ‘for an apportionment of the fields of taxation between state and Federal governments. A nation- wide committee will consider this subject during the coming months. The. efforts of two governments to fap the ‘Same source of revenue in inheritance taxes has resulted in overlapping systems which impose undue burdens upon the. taxpayer and. a consequent destruction of very sources of. revenue which means comparatively little to the Federal Treasury, byt much to the state. -An unintelligent use of the taxing power may have disastrous conse- quences. It is for this reason that ‘we must come to somo understand- ing, particularly as regards high eurtaxes and in the field of inherit- ance taxes, by which overlapping and unfair taxes shall be eliminated and the future welfare ard prosper: {ty of the country shall be assured. “This, I'am confident, can be done; and In helping to do it and to bring about a better understanding of the fundamental principles in- volved in taxation you are render- ing the country a great and lasting service. We must not let partisan, sectional or class prejudices blind our vision or halt our determination to achieve what will be for the wel- fare ofthe country as a whole.” See el SINCLAIR'S PARTY [5 ENTERTAINED AT FORT BY GENERAL JENKINS CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 21.— Harry F.
