Putting Trees to Bed.

An interesting method of protecting peach trees from frost during the win ter has been practiced for several years at the agricultural experiment. station at Canyon. Colo Early in No vember the earth is removed from d circle about four feet in diameter round each tree. and water is turned in to saturate the soil. When the ground has become soft the tree is worked back and forth to loosen the roots and is then pushed over on its side The branches are brought together and fastened with cord. and buriap GOV cred with earth is put over them.
 Thus the trees lie snug until spring when the covering is gradually loos ened and finally removed. and they ara raised and propped up.-Rocky Moup tain News.

 members would act in case of inter | vention. Nothing can b" much clear
 CT than the indispo 'on of Washing ton to intervene. No policy of Pres | ident Wilson has a heartier support
 than is policy of non-'ntervention in Mexico. But there is an eager desire
 all over this country and in sev ral European countries to know what the
 better class, the intelligent middle class, of Mexican citizens think ought to D done to save their country's honor and restore to it the confidence of the world which it possessed while old Porfirio was it's chief magistrate and something more.
 These are the people whose with drawal of support from Diaz made the well-intentioned but tragically flu 1 tile revolution Madero successful. What do they want now? Restora- ton to the Catholic church O the po" C1 WAASA udl CL lCOh away llOlIl it? That might be one way out. The masses in Mexico are fanatically re- ligiOus. The church could restore semblance of order, and it would tol- crate neither Huerta nor a Villa. Or have they in mind the possible formation of commission of the ablest men in Mexican political life, men like Manuel Calero, Pedro Las curain, Jose Y. Limantour, and half dozen others representing all shades of political belief to form a provis- ional government which would re- tore peace and prepare for Con- stitutional election?
 The address of Gen. Huerta to the new congress, the legal election of which the Washington government refuses to recognize, is little more than an apology for his recent usur- patton of all power, and it still leaves room for his early retirement, which is not at all unlikely But that event might precipitate con 'ition of an archy throughout the country unless provision were made before hand to put the machinery of government temporarily in safe hands. As to the outcome. we cannot safely predict an exact repetition of Mexican history. The middle class of merchants, bank CTS, manufacturers and professional people scarcely existed in the era of Santa Anna or Alvarez. It was de- veloped in the thirty years of peace and prosperity under Don Porfirio. The question of the hclr is whether Mexicans of this class bave the in telligence, he devotion. snd the con- age to save the country from present destruction-Ex.

WHO SHALL SAVE MEXICO?

---------
 The common question is, What is going to be the end lf the trouble in Mexico" and the common answer is, Nobody knows" The outlook seems to grow more bewildering and more desperate every day, yet when ever an intelligent Mexican opens his mouth to express an opinion on the subject all he can manage to say is that if intervention is attempted pa triotism will unit all Mexicans in op- position to the invader. The kind of patriotism which would induce all. or any considerable portion of them, to unite to save their country from an ist
 Yet there must be thousands of law-abiding Mexicans in the profes- sional classes, among the merchants of the capital and Guadalajara and Monterey, the manufacturers of Orig aba, who have given much sober thought to the reawakening of the old revolutionary spirit in their coun- try and the havoc i, has caused since Porfirio Diaz fled. These men must have some idea of way out of the difficulty. They must favor some plan for the restoration of peace, and it is not credible that they believe that any lasting benefit to their ma tion can come from either the dictator who kills men who question his polit- ical actions or the murderous brigands of the north. What do they expect to happen? What do they hope for? These are the really important Mex ican questions.
 Certainly the fate of Mexico is in the hands of it's patriotic and intel ligent middle class. There is no

THE TAX ON THRIFT AND BENEV-
 OLENCE.

In these days of progressive mor- ality it is singular to find our gov ernment taxing the instruments of thrift and benevolence which other governments establish by the taxing power. Yet that is the effect of the taxes collected from the insurance companies, the agencies of those who voluntarily do for themselves what the laws of some governments make compulsory, and which some govern ments do for those who are unable to do it themselves. England and Germany have long been held up to us as examples of monarchial sys- tems in advance of ourselves in the matter of social justice by aids to the afflicted, old, sick, unemployed, and so on. Yet the income tax, like the corporation tax, is levied upon the insurance companies whose activ- ties relieve our government from the necessity of much of the government al insurance of other countries.
 States and nation are alike to blame. President Kingsley, of the New York Life company, has cal culated that if his company had paid the nation at the same rate it paid the states the taxation on the com pany's income, paid by the policy holders, would have reached A per cent That is about the rate col lected from the malefactors who are wealthy enough to pay the additional income tax Other governments that levy any tax on this form of thrift levy it upon the policy holders, who know what is dcne. Our governments levy it upon the corporations. and the policy holders neither see nor appre- ciate the influence which saps their security In England the tax is one fourteenth that paid in the United States, in Germany one-twentieth. In France, Germany, Spain, Denmark and Russia, the tax Is simply for the cost of the administration of the in surance department of government
 Those governments make the tax negligible, merely the cost of super vising the business, because they know that what the companies do the government is relieved from doing. Our governments regard the accumu- lated wealth of the companies, the se
 curity of 42,000.OOO policy holders against penury through bereavement. as proper source of spoilation. The process is indirect, and the policy holders are not aroused against the government capable of such unwis- dOm.-New York Times.

TWO BILLS over
GOVERNORS VETO
ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT AND
GAME wARDEN'S OFFICE ABOL.
ISHED BY THE LEGISLATURES

Oklahoma City, April 24.--(Special
to Weekly News) -Displease at the
governors attitude toward useless Of
fices, ard his apparent intention of
driving the legislature before his
wishes with the whip, the House ami
the Senate have arisen la righteous
indignation and passed two bills over
the governors veto. One is the bill
abolishing the office of State Enforce
ment Officer, the other abolishing the
office CT State Game and Fish War
den. With the abolishment of the
Game Warden's office, were also abol-
ished the soft jobs of twelve deputy
game wardens, who drew 81 400 a year
apiece and expenses from the Game
Protection fund
The Senate also rejected two of the
governors nominations for member
ship on the state board of education,
and returned the nominations to the
executive offices.
Memhers of the legislature from the
institutional towns were troubled by
what were accepted as authentic re-
ports from the governcT's office that
all but three of the State normals and
all of the district agricultural schools
save that at Goodwell would be closed
The governor was quoted as saying
that unless the legislature passed the
Woodward resolution, submitting to a
vote of the people the question of
abolishing certain institutions, he
would veto appropriations for those he
thought were useless. The edict
reached the Senate when Senator Gra-
ham CT Claremore offered a resolution
asking the governor to return to the
legislature the bill appropriating s44.-
00o for the branch university prepara-
tory school located in that town.
But if the governor persists in his
attitude of wrecking state schools, by
vetcing their appropriations. It is very
likely that the appropriation bill for
his own pet school, the state univer-
sitv. will never get out of committee.
There is plenty of fight on and more
brewing The Governor is stubborn in
his attitude cf destroying public in
stitutions and the legislature has de-
creed that no man. the governor not
exeepted, shall dictate in any measure
to them.
