McCL EARY CHANGES FRONT.
Former Congressman Stood for
Free Lumber During the
Recent Campaign.
Is Now Plugging with Walker and
the Weyerhausers for the Re.
tention of Prohibitive Duties.

The following is the substance of a
dispatch sent to the St. Paul Dispatch
10y its regular correspondent in
Washington:
Trouble is brewing among the
members of the national forest con-
seryation league of which Samuel r.
Van SAINT of Minnesota is president.
One of the chief demands of the
league is for free lumber from Canada,
in order that the denud alton of Ameri-
can forests may be stopped, and the
organization was strongly represented
in Washington before the house
committee on ways and means when
the lumber schedules were up for con-
5sideration.
f But now it has developed that a
prominent member of the league, and
a recent member of congress, is
opposing free lumber from Canada,
and is working in conjunction with
the lumber barons-like T. B. Walker
and the Weyerhausers-for the reten-
tion of tariff on rough, hewn, sawed
and finished timber.
The man who is thus charged with
Eeresy is former Congressman James
7. McCleary. When the forest con-
servation league was organized last
summer politics in the Second Mime
sofa district were waxing warm. Win
field S. Hammond, the present repre-
sentative in congress from that
district and candidate for reelection,
was one of the first to join the con-
servation movement. And his com.
petitor for the nomination, Mr.. Nc
Cleary, followed suit, so that in the
official records of the league and on
the official letterheads the name of
McCleary and Hammond stand side
by side as members in good standing.
But alack! After the election, and
with the victory of Hammond second
time, McCleary comes to Washington
to take up again his standpat
doctrines and defend them, even a,

POLITICS DID not RULE
Gov. johnson Denies that Admin
istration Dictated Eleition of
Agricultural College Dean.
Prof. Olsen, However, Sees Trou-
BILE Ahead and Agrees to Serve
Only Till July 31st.

Prof. John w. Olsen, the able state
superintendent of public instruction,
who on Tuesday was advanced by the
board of regents of the state univer-
sity to the position of dean Of the
agricultural college, has decided that
he can accept the place only on the
condition that a successor be named
to him after July 31st. He has so
informed Mr.. Lind of the regency
board in a manly letter which reads
as follows:
''My appointment as dean Of the
college of agriculture came to me
without solicitation on my part, either
directly or Indirectly. Shortly after
Dean Randall announced his inten-
tion to resign, some of the regents
asked me if would consider the ac-
ceptance ct the deanship if it was ten
sdered me. After thinking over the
matter for few days. decided to ac-
.cept il elected.
Last Tuesday, while the deanship
was under discussion, Ibid not sit
with the board of regents. Although
Il learned after adjournment that the
vote by which | was elected was not
unanimous, | did understand, from
convers alton with the different menu
bers, that might expect the support
of the regents who did not vote for me.
After receiving the hearty congra-
tulations, the most cordial EXPIRES
sions of good will, and the warmest
profers Of support from hundreds Of
school men, and others throughout
the state, including numerous pro-
lessons of the college OF agriculture,
i was surprised, late Thursday eve
ming, to learn that three Of the regents
felt very strongly that the maj orlty
made serious mistake in e1ecling a
dean on Tuesday that action should
have been deferred.

culture is Of much greater importance
than are the personal interests of any
individual, and without being assured
of the cordial cooperation Of a Il the
regents, no one should undertake the
management OF the college. Of agricuI-

Regarding the charge that politics
entered into Mr.. Olsen's election
Gov. johnson had this to say:
S''Mr. Olsen's appointment as dean
OF the agricultural college was in no
way actuated by me or any one con-
nected with this department.. Even
when approached in the matter, {
gave those who called to understand
that I had no preference and what.
ever might be done by the board as a
whole would be entirely satisfactory
to me.
This know positively, Mr.. Olsen
made no effort to be the beneficiary
of the boards action. Some Of the
papers have seen fit 10 give the whole
thing a political comp exlon, but what
they did was without inquiry into the
situation.

was a candidate for dean or even was
to be elected, [ stood ready to reap

Public educational circles in Kansas
| City, Kan, will gain as much as
those in Topeka will Iose-and that is

H L. Miller as principal of the To-
peka high school to accept a similar
position in the city at the mouth of
the Kaw. Mr.. Miller is a man of I'M
usually strong personality and an
educator of high attainments. Dur
ing the four years that he has been
at the head of the affairs of the To-
peka high school the institution has
developed in efficiency to a marked
extent. 1t was we'll on the way to
fame when he was chosen principal
but his untiring and intelligent
efforts have placed it in a position
where it ranks high among all such
schools in this and other sections of
the country.
Mr. Miller has not beer without his
critics since he has been principal of
the local high school. In fact, some
of the parents of children who have
been in the high school do not hold
him in very high esteem. But this. is
due in the main to a lack of tact and
diplomacy which he has displayed on
certain occasions and in dealing with
certain Ke&aLlOuS Qu6SllOnS WHICH
have come up for decision during his
incumbency, such, for instance, as
the trouble which ensued over the
adjustment of the high school fra
ternities and sororities in which Mr.
Miller took a leading part. But no
one who is at all familiar with Mr.
Miller's work and methods can deny
the fact that he is an excellent in
structor and is we'll qualified to be
at the head of such an important in
stitution as a city high school. For
the most part he has been exceedingly
popular With the high school pupils
and has held the respect and con-
fdence of all of the teachers who
have served under him. His record
in Topeka is one to which he and his
friends can point with pride. The
locality to which he is going is to be
congratulated on having been able to

THE TAX DODGERS.

| Tax-dodging appears to be an almost
! inherent failing with human beings.
1t affects all classes of people. 1t seems
to be particularly acute with the ex-
trer1eIy wealthy ones, who, after all,
are in the best position to pay taxes
/ and who. under present conditions, do
not bear the burden of taxation that
| is proportionate with their means.
A man who has been able to enrich
| himself to the extent of millions and
millions of dollars in one way or an
other will frequently give away many
| of his millions to philanthropic enter
prises. Yet he will take advantage OF
every possible opportunity to avoid the
uavment of taxes In this class would
appear to be John D. Rockefeller. Re-
| cent advices from New York state that
he is deciding much of his property,
millions of dollars worth of it, to his
children. Such action will relieve this
Droperty at his death from the inherit
ance tax which prevails in New York
state This is a favorite subter1uge
with wealthy men in New York and in
other states where inheritance taxes
are levied. 1t is possible that Mr.. Rock
efe1ler. in deciding away his property
+o his children, is not doing it for the
purpose of placing it beyond the realms
of the inheritance tax. But it is diff
cult not to draw such conclusions be-
.ca,se so much Of this is done from
time to time by the millionaires. There
is one way though to make this proper
ty. and all other property like 1t. pay
its reasonable share of taxation ana
that is by the levying of a direct in
come tax. The necessity for such tax
is becoming more apparent every day,
and the various states of the union Will
be making a great mistake If they do
not ratify the proposed amendment to-
the federal constitution which will
make the levying of such tax pos
sible.
But tax-dodging is not confined to the
rich. It is practiced pretty generally
nv all classes with exceptions here and
there. Some men make it a point to
nav their lust taxes without muir
muir. But they are conspicuous by the
scarcity of their numbers. Their eff
forts in this line should be emulated
by everybody. If eevry man and wo-
nan bore his or her full share of tax
alton, il is a certainty that the taxes
on the masses would not be SO burden
some. So much money has to be rails
ed for city, county, state and federal
Those who dodge pay
ing their share of it simply increase |
the burdens of the people who do pay. |
This is such a simple argument that it |
need not be dilated upon. And there
would not be so much grumbling about
taxes f every person who is subject
TO them would do his full duty in the |
