Much speculation has been indulged in #ver the appointment of Senator Kenyon of Towa as a judge on the bench of the federal court. This doesn't arise be- #suse those who are in service with him In the senats or otherwise acquainted with him know otherwise, but it comes frem the fact that there has been much wid concerning the agricultural group in Ih8 senate of which Senator Kenyon was récognized as a leader. The.effort there- ore is to endeavor to charge President Harding with making a master stroke te bresk up that combination which has Been delaying congressional matters by the removal of the leader, The attempt to attach some political significance to the appointment js so thinly varnished that even Senator Har- riton, the southern democrat, declares there is pothi it even though feels such an inference is sure to be. drawn, But what seems to indl- cate the futility of any such effort the faet that even the offer of the ap- peintment to Senator. Kenyen did not eblige him te mccept. That he prefers thée bench to congress has been ne secret. That ke was in every way fitted for the beneh and desired such an appointment was known by the president, but had the Tewa senator seented any move to hreak ieultural combination, which would have been the first to suspeet, he ecould easily ted it by de- elining the Inasmuch as h is have prever tment desired such an ap- péintment and that fact together With his qualifications was thoroughly appre- elated by the president who knows from experience as a colleague in the senate what his ability is, it was quite the natu- ral thing that be nominated. Even those In the agricultural group, by their unanimous approval of the nomi- nee, recognized the excellence of the se- leetion made by the president. Under the circumstances it would he as proper he should te elaim that the senator was abandon-|T ing the agricnlturalists as to maintain| that the president was trying to embar- 888 the group. GOETHAL'S OPINIOY, 80 far as known General Goethals, who is perhaps best known because of the fact that he was the engineer In charge of the construction of the Pan- Wma canal, has not made a personal and searching investigation of the plan for the comstruction of the proposed St Lawrence canal. Yet it would appear that he had familiarized himself suffi- sientiy with the conditions and the plan te make up his mind as to whether it ®puld be practical to enter into any such andertzking In hones of getting the re- lts ai at and desired. 4 He i3 at least willing to express an spinion regarding the proiect and to an interviewer In St. Paul, in a section of the eountry that is particujarly inter- ested In the idea, he frankly declared the nlan to be visionary, As if to have it understood that he was not prejudiced without knowing the facts he as frankly said that “If T believed the St. Lawrence pisn praetical, T should approve it.” Genera] Goethals is an engineer In Whieh much confidence is placed. It will be remembered that there was a time when he was placed in charge of the gov- erament shipbuilding activitles and when many were urging the construetion of wooden shins becauss they could he built quickly, gotten into service quicker.than 8% it steel ships were waited for and would permit of 2 greater number being e¢mployed in this activity he was opposed ta the wooden shins. Nevertheless they were buflt and what he said about tiem seems to have been fulfilled. Today it next to impossible to give them away d they are net being utilized and scareely Rave been. He wasn't opposing the desire to get #khips quick at that time, but he was losking to the product of wooden ship building under those eonditions. He Nelisved that unwise in the same way as Re Believes the St. Lawrence camal im- praetieal as a sfaboard project. And as fér thit he prebably is of the same mind refardinging any alternative proposi- tien, although it is not to be supposed that he s unfavorable to the develop- meént of such improved transportation faeilities as are practl JAPAN'S RESPONSE.

At other times and for other reasons hag there been occasion for referring to the magnificent service that was being rendered to the coumtry and the world through the funds which had been given by John D. Rockefeller for that purposes. Even more so does there now appear to be reason fer commending not only the generosi.y and foresight that were dis- played in establishing the fund of over $125,000,000 which was placed under the direction of the general education board for the benefit of education.

Forms for making returns of income for the year 192t have been revised and simplified, and contaln instruations which if carefully fellowed will be of material aid to taxpavers in the avofd- ance of errors. Many of these errors are due to mis- understanding of the’ exemption allowed a head of a*family, defined by treasury regulations as a “persgn who actually supports and maintaing in one housshold one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relation- ship, relatienship by marriage or by adoptien, or whase right to exercise family eontrol an provied for these de- pendents is based upon some moral or legal obligation.” The exemptions allowed a head of a tamily under the revenue act of 1921 are the same as granted a married person— $2,500 where the net income for 1921 was $5.000 or lers and $2,000 where the net Income exceeded $5,000. Circumstances surrounding each individual case deter- mine largely whether a person is entitled to such exemption. A single person—the term ineluding widoweds, widews, and persons not liv- Ing with wife or husband—is th: head of a family If he js the sale support of one or more relatives living in the same house with him, and if he exercises con- trol of hougehold affairs.

Exemptiens Not For All Whether a person whe does not con- tinuousiy live in the same house with dependent relatives is emtitled to the exemptions depends upon the char- acter of the separation. If a parent is away on business part of the year or a child or other dependent is away on a visit, the common home being maintained, the - exemptions may be claimed. If a parent is compelled to maintain his dépendent children with relatives, or in a boarding house, the exemption may still apply.

Tex Examples. Following -are concrete examples of taxes due under the revenue act of 1921 and eircumstances governing exemptions allowed a head of & family and for de- pendents: A married couple living together with two ehildren, 10 and 12 years old, had a net ineome for 1921 of $4,500. Their tax is $48, which ik 4 per cent en ¥1,200 the ameunt of their inceme less the ex- emptian of $2,500 fer married percons Whose net income was less than $5,006, plus £460 for each dependent. The tax on the same income fer the year 1920 was $84. A married esuple living tegether with two children; 10 and 12 years eld, had & nét inesme for 1981 of $6,000. Their normal tax is, $128, which is 4 pér. cent. on $3,200, the exemition of $2,000 allow- ed married perwéns whase net income was In excess of $5000, plus $400 for each dependént. On theé samé income for 1920 the normal tax was $114. A single person llving at home and supporting -an invalid mother and sis- ter 17 years old had a net income for 1921 ot § . His tax Is $8. He Is allowed the $2,500 individual exemption granted the head af a family whose net Income was less than $5000. plus $400 for each dependent. (It should be noted that the $400 additional exemption for dependents does not avply to hus- band or wife, even though either one has hecome a total burden upon the other.) A single man lives with and Supports a mother 50 vears old and two sisters 13 and 21 vears old. He is al- lowed an exemmtion s head of a fam- ily ($2,500 or $2,000, depending upon whether his net inceme was $5,000 or lesa or in exeess of $5.008) but not the $400 exemption for dependents, since hls mother and sisters are neither under 18 years of age, nor mentally nor physical- 1y’ ineapacitated. 3 READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Sensuality, Closely allied to the “excessivist” is the “sensualist’ with one vital differ- ence. The self-imdulgence of the latter has. more of the deliberate in it and is less the result of a weak will. We have aoquired the habit Years of in late ‘the word sensual Ty when the” however, ; merely a glutton, or & amnkE:!: :':{uth. or something else. The sensualist is thd person who gratifies one or more of his or her senses to the point of abuse, ex- @ess or the deliberate violation of some code of morals or health. M, therefore, you come to the *con- clusion that a man is a_sensualist, don't Jump too hurriedly to the second con- clusion that he is unfaithful to his wife. His sensuality may lie in the direction of trying to consume as much “hoach” as possible before Mr. Volstead gets him or of wallowing excessively in beef ten- derloin and fried potatoes. You spot the sersuallst by his eves. The lids are rather close together, as in the eyes of extreme caution. The dif- firence lies in the fact that the lids of the sensual eye are thickened. And this is the natural result of overindul- gence of the flesh, a physical symptom of physical practice or habit, which can only be the resmlt of a definite attitude of mind. Tomorrow—Signals of Fear. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Production and Marketing of Milk. Mr. Editor: Of interest to the many farmers whe rewd The Bulletin is the knowledge that the article appearing in the New Englind Homestead recent James Gough of Vermont meets the approval of a large number of pr ducers engaged in shipping milk is ev dent after an interview with several hun- dred of the parties at interest. The ore gan of the New England Milk Producers Association commenting on he state- ments of Mr, Gough apparently wilfule ly misquotes him when it reports him #s saying “To make the change from the bargalning to the marketing of their own milk right or wrong.” Nothing is ever gained by misrepresentation and if the marketing of milk by the producers themselves is impossible of accomplish- ment let it be clearly and practically praven. The reasons assigned so far why the shipper should not and cannot successfully make and control the sales end of hig own product through a sys- tematically organized plan have been based more on ridicule.and an attempt to terrify by pre-supposing insurmount- able obstacles. We are emphatically and strongly of the opinion that ir Gough is right when, in effect, he says that “if $110,000 have been expended by N, E, M. P, A. members for a committee to bargaia for the price of milis for them the same amount could be used in carrying out a marketing plan of tiieir own.” It was also stated in a re- cent issue of the New England Dairy- man that “the time was not ready yet for the farmers to market their own milk,” Just when the time would be ripe no attempt is made to predict, and | So far as it has te do with the future of the farmer in this respect, he is as much at sea as ever. Now (ist) Eiteness of this statement; (2nd) in much as the assoelation is some five years old, and (3rd) when it is temem- bered, as it should be by every shipper of milk, that the self-marketing end was the goal aimed at, the satement is void of argument because it lacks common sense. If an attempt to make the sale of their milk would be fought by the dealers at the present time would not the same thing be met with five, ten or even twenty years henee? Specific mar- surely tomorrow as today. It would mean better prices for the producer and cheaper milk for the consumer. That competition would be fought would be expected, and needs no ‘“wise-acre” to forecast it. Viewing the situation from every an- gle the sCmer can arrive at but one conclusion and that is if he is going to act through organized effort it must be at once. He should be the arbiter of his own destiny, at least So far as sell- Ing his own products are concerne whereas, foday, he is\as much under or- ders as IS his own hired help, and then some. This brings to mind the rating and surplus plan new in vogue and which Wwe Were given to understand by the sales committee was to be taken un by them anmJ the dealers on Jan. 1. Well, after waiting the allotted two months, because, as stated, “a radical or sudden change could not be made,” what have we gained? If the matter was “taken up” it must have befn set down again, for the same plan is to continne. Anid Wwhat else?

Why ald such a propo- sal not eame from the dealers? Heads of unions, ete., generally awalt such an Initiative_to be taken by the other side. Cancelling of station charges is a mighty #mall way to palliate the farmer for the eut, Great stress has been repeatedly placed on the increased price for milk gained by dairymen during the last de- cade or so, but allowance must be made for advances due to the war, as the ab- normal conditions affected other things hesides the eow product. Calves, all roots, vegetables, ete., did not require any special laborlous work to ralse their enst on the market, and it must follow that milk would also take an upward trend without svecial ald. We say this to show this fact must be taken into account when making comparative milk prices now from twenty-five vears or so Incidentally, and a little more, it to us all if we are not ‘wooden-heads” we have been often dealings, that we are as essentially and truly manufacturers as he or they whese output may bhe shoes, cloth, what not.
