Columbus o., Jan. 26.-The pa
thetic appeals of the Taft administra-
tion to the people to take measures
tc. restore business confidence, calls
to mind the standard Republican hob
by that for years was the cry to keep
that party in power. The Democratic
party is destroying business conf
dence" was the slogan of the Repub-
lican leaders for years 1t was the
deception by which the Republican
party kept itself I'm power for at least
a quarter OF a century. But now when
the party has been in power so many
consecutive years. and the country's
business is actually becoming panicky,
these same old party leaders are APP
pealing in the most pathetic manner
for help to restore the business con-
hdence" that they themselves have
utterly failed to maintain.
Mould II not be honest and fair
for these same Republican leaders to
frankly confess that they slandered
the Democratic party all these years
when they said It was opposed to
prosperity?
And when Republican leaders them
selves are the party responsible for
the destruction of business confidence,
is 1t not high time for the people to
hurl them from power, and save both
the country's honor and business?

Difficult Problems on Canal
Have All Been
Solved.

Washington. Jan. 26-As the work
or the Panama Canal draws to a
close and 1t becomes apparent that
the difficult problems of construction
and engineering have been successfully
solved, interest in social conditions in
the Canal Zone Increases and visitors
returning from Colon and other places
IN the vicinity are eagerly questioned
theater and other amusements in the
zone?"
Unfortunately no 6ata is available
either here or In Panama to make pos
slble a comparison between this coun-
try and the Canal Zone. but 1t is the
opinion of careful observers that the
American canal workers have as many
breaks, and on the average OF as good
quality, in the routine of their lives
as they had i'm the cities of the "home
country"
Moving pictures, that element of
instruction and entertainment second
70 none when price and ease of ac-
cessiblity is considered, are the prin-
clpal source of entertainment in the
Zone. A large number of "wiggle
picture" houses. many Of them as
elaborate as those in the states, dot
the Isthmus and these draw their
night kuota of amusements seekers.
A fact that attracts the attention of
Canal Zone visitors almost immediate
lv is that different classes Of pictures
are popular in different parts of the
zone and the managers realizing this,
cater TO the tastes OF their audiences.
At Empire and Christabol the slaugh-
ter of Indians and like western pic
lures elicit the most applause; at
Gorgona the residents seem to care
more for the slightly pathetic or tragic
films, while at Culebra, Corozal and
Gatun there is a distinct leaning to-
ward the more romantic scenes.
The commission club houses, as
concession to the demands for dancing
and music, have secured the services
OF bands which play at stated times at
the popular clubs, while dances, to
which the only necessary invitation is
respectable character, are of fire.
quent occurrence. In addition TO this
there are a number of minstrel shows
gwen every winter by organizations
In the different cities, while itinerant
theatrical troups have been known to
visit the zone. 1t must be admitted,
say the returned visitors, that theatres
-as such-are not much of a success
in Panama. Amateur theatrlcals, par
ticularly when the play presented Is a
we'll known one, are extremely popu-
lar, however.
Last year choral society was or
ganized at Empire and rendered ef-
fectlvely several oraiorios. This year
a similar society Is practising at Ga
tun and a glee club is rounding into
shape at Culebra for tour of the
canal villages.
So that the American in Panama,

Among the problems which are vex-
ing the war department and occupying
q large proportion of the attention OF
the officials of the army is the or
ganizatlon of the stan system. While
the present detailed" staff system
IN which officers of the army are only
allotted to staff duty for compara-
lively short period and then returned
to the line for further practical ex-
perience--has many opponents and a
return TO the old permanent system
IS imminent. Major General j. Frank
lin Bell, commanding the PHILIPPINES
division, In his annual report Just
transmitted to the war department ex-
presses himself as being very much
IN favor of the detailed system and
opposed to any change.
In the course Of his report, General
Bell says;
"a return to the permanent STAFF
system would have this serious defect
that once inefficient officers become
permanent members Of staff corps,
through influence which need not be
discussed. 1t becomes very difficult for
said corps ever TO get rid Of them
has Just been had in the case of
staff officer who has been hopelessly
inefficient ever since he was appoint
ed. more than ten years ago. There
are others, almost quite equally inef-
flcient whom II would be equally diff
fcult TO get rid of. These facts are
notorious and need no argument. The
retention Of such officers on STAFF
corps has a most serious effect upon
the interests OF the army as whole,
for inefficient star officers not only
constitute a menace TO the efficiency
of the entire army but are a continual
source of embarrassment and dlfh-
Guilty 10 the stan departments con-
cerned, besides lowering the STANDARD
OF efficiency therein"
After further discussing the rela-
tive merits Of the detailed and perm
anent systems, General Bell con-

Fair Taxation.

II. y. Terry, one Of the associate
editors Of the Practical Farmer. which
Is published in philadelphia, owns a
farm in northern Ohio, and he Is one
of many thousands of farmers who
have been benefited by a reduction
in taxes. Mr.. Terry was so pleased
Mt the successful termination Of the
Ohio executives efforts to lessen the
taxes OF those farmers and home own
ers who have been assessed too heav-
| lily by forcing interests that had not
been paying their Just share to con-
tribute their fair portion toward the
expense of the government that he
wrote an article entitled Fair Tax
alton at Last" for the Practical Far
mer.
The first portion of It Is devoted
to pointing out defects of the old sys-
tenn of assessing property, and telling
of the increased assessment so as TO
get all property on the duplicate at
the same basis-true valuation. The
closing paragraph Of Mr.. Terry's ar
ticle reads:
"And real estate was assessed two
or three times as high as formerly.
There was some anxiety to find out
whether this would result in a heavier
burden on farmers, or enough per-
sonal property be added to duplicate
the matter all right. The result has
heen better than we even hoped for.
We have just paid our taxes. The rate
was $3.50 on $1,000 Last year II
was ST.. The value OF our farm was
raised about $4,000. But we pay less
taxes on 1t this year than last, owing
to the great decrease in the rate. But
II Is on personal property that the
heaviest gain was made. There was
no raise in the valuation Of that for
us. We put in all that was subject 20
taxation last year, as we'll as this, OF
course. And we pay only $3.50 in
stead Of S17 per thousand. SO our

cludes:
1T is my decided opinion that,
should the law be modified so as to
authorize the continuous retention of
all field officers in starr corps, a pro-
vision should be included requiring
such field officers to serve not less
actually on duty with troops at some
military post of the command with
which they are serving"
1t was stated at the war department
that there are a number of officers
who have not been with their COM
mands for over five years-thercfore
the Bell provision with regard To the
detailed staff would work a decided
change in the army personnel, the pre-
sent detailed system having been in
effect less than two years.
