So they are careful, But the democrats cannot pass any party tax reduction Jaws right now. So their offer is a lot more generous to us. Sure, why not? They say the government should in- crease our exemptions, reduce the rate for us little fel- lows, and continue to go thru the funny motions of soak- ing the rich. Everybody knows that they cannot pass such a law and that if they did pass it, the rich would continue to bury their wealth in city, county and state bonds, on the income of which they pay no taxes at all. Yet it does sound fine. Hiram Johnson wants to be nominated and he wants to offer us some attractive reductions in tax payments but he finds that the regular republicans and the all- promising democrats have used up all the details, so there is nothing for him to offer except a good, broad generality, without any entangling details. He “T would reduce taxes for all the people wherever it is possible to do so and keep faith at the same time.” Also fine. BUT THE BIG THING IS, THAT SOME KIND OF TAX REDUCTION IS COMING TO US: EITHER NOW FROM THE REPUBLICANS WHO C: DO IT, OR FROM THE DEMOCRATS, WHO WILL BE ELECTED IF THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT DO IT. Now we learn that tls Dr, Murphree, Bryan's cholce for president, believes in evolution. Appears that Dee has thrown a wrench into Bill's plans—a monkey wrench, it seems. Railroading ‘ARLY two million employes are on the payrolls of the railroads. Including their families, they repre- BS “sent about a twelfth of the total population of the coun- ‘try. For every 11 people, there’s one engaged directly in railroad transportation, not counting people who make tuilroad supplies. The roads in 1923 loaded and moved nearly 50 million tars of freight—or about 25 cars for every employe. It Was the busiest year in history. Loadings were a tenth - ‘more than in 1920, the previous record year. Diplomat Hugh Gibson would bar “white spats, tea drinkers and cookie pushers” from the diplomatle service. That's fine, but we'd better not kick out the “cookies” until we decide to pay a living wage to diplomatic service employes, so that real workers can take thelr places. Don’t Be Afraid HARLES M.

And that's doubtless why the cabin of the Jennie Crocker looks so much like home, It's the only home that Capt.

For once, when they were coming back from a little 12.000. mile expedition down to Africa, there were 20 days when Capt. Nelson Crocker delirious with fever, And during all that time Jennlo Crocker navigated the ahip, cave the courses, took the sightings and doctored her husband, At night time sho re. lieved the black man who was fanning him. And once, when they whre coming back from Portugal, a gale from the Azores drove ther about helplessly for & hours. Jennie Crocker stayed down tn the cabin that time, but it was because her husband boarded her up and mado her stay there. Yes, Jennie Crocker could have taken out her papers most any timo, and when sho finally did take the examination, the other day, an examination last- ing @ day and three-quarters, grizzled veterans from the cus- toms house came over and beg: ged to shake her by the hand, Now, Capt.
