Referring to the proposal to increase duties on | imports, the “tariff for revenue" scheme, Philipt Snowden, England’s little masterful Chancellor of | the Exchequer, in his recent remarkable budget| speech, with white lips cried: “I reiterate my ap- | position to such proposals. They would mean e- lieving the well-to-do at the expense of the poor.” He then announced his proposal to tax the ]ands‘ and other property of the Kingdom four-tenths of one per cent to produce the needed money. Chancellor Snowden, perhaps the profoundest student of economics in public life, is a firm free trader, and refuses to budge an inch from his| matured conclusion that the tariff must not bej increased. He regards a tariff tax as a tax on industry and, therefore, a tax on workingmen. e believes that accumulated wealth ought to bear ihe | burdens created by the emergency growing out of the war aftermath and “unparalled depression.” For like reasons he refused t> increase the 22% per cent. income tax. The Chancellor and believes the fore another year. ance soon to take ment. This insurance put into effect sometime ago compels each working man to pay weekly seven pence, each employer eight pence and the Govern-! ment seven and a half pence, in all about 45 cents, | a week, into a fund from which ahe unemployed draw enough to sustain life while not working. The reception of Chancellor Snowden’s budgr‘t‘ speech by the British people is not encouraging m‘ those who had hoped for a Conservative Government and protective tariff at an early day. It also has| apparently justified Leader Lloyd George and ms: Liberal following for their aliance with the Labor Government through which Premier MacDonald and his Cabinet have been kept in power. sees the end of the dole :ystemi depression will be relieved be- He expects the compulsory insur- | care of the stress of une'mploy-i LAWN NEEDS SPRING TONIC TO HELP | OVERCOME WEEDS. A good way to fight weeds in the lawn is to feed them. This is the seemingly paradoxical nd- vice of turf specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. Feeding the weeds gets results, the experts say, because the ferilizer that feeds the weeds also feeds the grass and stimulates such vigorous growth that the grass, which thrives with frequent cutting, will run out the objectionable weeds. For lawn fertilizer, the specialists says, it is hard to beat well-rotted manure. For the spring dressing it is a good plan to compost manure with leaf mold and sod or other vegetable wastes, and then sift in with a coarse screen to remove lumps and bunches. A top dressing is a spring tonic for a lawn. In the fall it is not so nécessary to com- post manure or to remove lumps and undecayed matter. The forage men advise an application of four or five pounds of either the muriate or the sulphase of | potash and 10 to 15 pounds of superphosphate ior each 1,000 square feet of lawn. This should be re- peated every two or three years. A good nitrogen fertilizer for early spring s composed of cottonseed meal and either nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia. Use four or five| pounds of the meal to each pound of the concentrated fertilizer, and scatter the mixture over the lawn at the rate of about 15 to 20 pounds to each 1,000 square feet. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP; SOUND PHILOSOPHY. When Miss Ellinor Smith broke the altitude record of Miss Ruth Nichols, who holds the woman |he retired, in 1309, he had almost continuously en- abrplane speed record of more than 210 miles an bour, Miss Nichols congratulated Miss Smith and explained her lightness of heart to newspapermen by declaring that “records are made to be broken.” That was not only good sportsmanship but it was an authentic philosophy. Records are made to be broken, and the one who breaks a record is en- titled to good natured congratulations from the one with the broken record. Somebody had to break it. HATS OFF TO LOYALTY. People who admire loyalty and in whose hearts is symppthy with suthentic sentiment will take their he2>ff to the wife of Roy Olmsted, former king of § “attle bootleggers, who met her husband at the (3, > of the penitentiary after he had served four yea™ for conviction of conspiring to violate the Volstead Act. She fought at his side and exhausted - the fortune made in illicit liquor traffic to keep him out of prison. Then she waited, while he paid the price of transgression, that they might start life all over again together. I bear no grudges; I were, however, at that time 51,063 horses in the metropolis. The census taken last month rhowed |22,156. Of these 1,729 were saddle horses. Stables | the people of that section are seriously considering | | ing. grudges against the man who has settled with 5o- ciety, and that it wishes him well—and the wife that met him at the prison door. The extent to which electrity is displacing horses in the large cities was disclosed by a recent census of horses in New York City. In 1924 a cen- sus of the horses in Greater New York showed a| marked decline in the preceding ten years. There had decreased from 3,907 to 1,924 between 1924 and 1931. Word comes from Kladno, Czechoslavakia, that the street in that city in which Mayor Anton J Cermak of Chicago was born, will soon be named Cermak in honor of the distinguished townsman that has become Mayor of one of the world's larg- est cities. The Czechoslavakians are proud of the home town boy that made good :n Chicago. | Four young girls and women were murdered in San Diego in two months.

In Justice to “Don Alfonso.” ! (New York Herald Tribune.) While the new Provisional Government in Spain is eliciting recognition from the major powers and working hard on the foundations of a republican regime, there seems to be some little danger that | the contribution to peace which was made by the gentleman described in the Houss of Commons as “Don Alfonso” is likely to be underestimated. Of this there is a timely reminder in an address given by Under Secretary of State Castle at Indianapolis on Wednesday. Mr. Castle was speaking on the will to peace, and his reference to Spain was casual and guarded, but his tribute to King Alfonso XIII was unqualified. “lu leaving Spain to avoid blood- shed,” said he, after making it clear that the char- acter of Spain’s government was the business of the Spanish people, “the King proved himself a noble worker for peace.” It will be remembered that in his farewell state- ment to his people the monarch who is now a refugee in England said: “I could have employed | means to keep the royal prerogatives and effectively | fight my adversaries, but I wish to avoid every-!| thing that might throw my compatriots into fratri- cidal civil war.” In the hour of republican victory this probably looked to most readers like a pose designed to save a few shreds of royal dignity in a generally humiliating situation. But Mr. Castle! is in a position to know what that situation was, and he gives the King rulL credit for sincerity. It seems likely from other evidence, too, that had the King chosen to call for armed support he could have made a very grim fight for the ‘“royal pre- rogatives.” The fact that the municipal elections which gave the republicans three-fourths of the Provincial capi- tals did not yield a republican majority for Spain as a whole has been obscured by subsequent events but was known to King Alfonso when he penned his valedictory. Since “the people voting in the villages are just as much Spaniards as those in the cities,” as Senor de la Cierva, said, a man more concerned for his throne than for his country might easily have persuaded himself that if he fought to “maintain his position until the election of the members of the Cortes he would have a sufficient following in that body to indorse his stand. Indeed, the King's present refusal to abdi- cate, in spite of the embarrassment to which it sub- | jects him as an exile, is evidence that he still does not consider himself deposed by the lasting will of any great body of his people. Under these condi- tions it is impossible not to feel with Mr. Castle that “Don Alfonso” deserves unqualified praise for glving his countrymen a chance to decide among themselves, without recourse to the violence which his presence would have engendered, whether or not they can build a better Spain without him. Apostle of Democracy. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) : Yesterday marked the 188th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, one of the strongest,| most impressive characters identified with the his- torical development of America's political destiny. He very literally was the author of our scheme of democracy. He wrote and enshrined its principles in the Declaration of Independence. He was easily the most versatile and culturally many-sided man of his day, not excepting even Benjamin Franklin or John Adams. His literary and scientific abilities won for him the admiration of Edmund Burke. He was learned in languages, devoted to music and ex- celed in outdoor athletic sports. He was from the | first the peer of the leading lawyers of his time. Jefferson became a successful and popular Min- ister to France. As Washington's Secretary of | State he came into his own. He was an American and a Democrat. He at once clashed with that other great and fine intellectual genius, Alexander Hamilton, a man antipodal in temperament and | political belief. Hamilton was at the time Sec- retary of the Treasury. They differed as to financial problems and proposals.. Thelr hasility became in- tense, irreconcilable J\b\ub them formed two great parties, the Republican and Federalist. Jefferson’s principals still survive, vital, endur- Jefferson became the third President, was re- elected. He made his incumbency epochal. When Jjoyed public service for forty years. Like Washing- ton, he refused to be elected for a third time. He deemed such action of great importance for pre- serving a democratic spirit in the Presidency. Though author of the Declaration of Independ-| |ence, the creator of a great university and author | of invaluable State papers, he will perhaps be held {highest in honored memory as writer of the Statute | of Virginia For Religious Freedom. | There is today increasing wider movement to| return to Jeffersonian principles. They have proved‘ their worth. Variant and varied following after false gods has never affected their validity. This| April, 1931, finds his memory prestine, his fame still firmly established in the hearts of a liberty- loving people. “Hoover After More Trout” says a headline, to which the Democrats reply, “but next year hell be out again after the suckers.” (Ohio State | Journal.)

NEW SCHEME IN REFRIGERATION| Synthetic Daylight Perfect-|| | American homemaker's electric re- ed for Benefit Housewives of DAYTON, May 14—Synthetic daylight, said to be an exact repro- duction of Old Sol's best effort, has been perfected by lighting experts so that the porcelain sides of the frigerator will be as perfectly matched as her finest set of dish- es. Constant daylight was necessitat- ed when it was announced that in the future these electric refrigera- tors would be finished in snow- white porcelain-on-steel. This gleaming finish, it is said, will blend with any hen color scheme. Three coats of porcelain are bak- ed onto the steel sides of the new Electric Refrigerators at a heat of 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. When the Jast coat is fused into the steel pan- els, the panels pass along a pro- duction line beneath the artificial daylight. There trained eyes match the panels. Any departure from the snowy color is quickly detected and the panel is removed from pro- duction.
