In the house. where the democratic
majority is sufficient 10 carry over
both opposition and detection. In the
senate il will take more time because
OF the narrow working margin.
The revenue bill Will meet the al
most solid opposition of the repubi
cans and progressives because OF the
opportunity the situation affords of
embarrassing the administration and
making political capital out of the
appropriation bill. They wish to ere
ate the impression in the public mind
that the democratic party has made a
mistake in reducing the tariff and
that the appropriation bill is a pork
barrel for the benefit of favored
sections.
The opposition has taken the posi-
ton that instead of levying special
taxes 10 make up the deficit in GUS
toms duties the administration should
save the amount involved in the ap-
propriations bill. on the contrary
the president and the democratic
members OF congress think il would
be unwise to stop improvements un-

those contemplated for the sake of
avoiding tn levy OF special taxes
which will not be burdensome and es-
pecially to the people at large.

STATE SALARY INCREASES IMPOSED
UPON TAXPAYERS BY REPUBLICANS
DURING THEIR TWELVE YEARS POWER

Interesting and brilliantly tllumln-
alive are the following figures cover
ing official salary boosting in Indiana
The republican press has been max
ing wild charges against the demo
cratic administration Of pubhc aHalrs.
particularly charging that salaries OF
state offices have been increased TO an
extravaganza excess. An examination
of the tabulated figures printed De
low will show that the salary BOOST
ing in state offices was done by the
republicans themselves-and In the
short period of II years.
The modest salaries under Whlch
the state had operated the state OF
fees were not sufficient for the u. -.
P. When GOV Matthews and the last
democratic legislature previous to re-
publican control turned the affairs OF
the state over 10 the republicans the
appropriations for state officers and
their deputies amounted annually to
$4,000. The republicans boosted the
appropriations to $2S7, 600. Ihey IN

existed under democratic administra-
ton. The second column shows the
salaries of these same offices after i
years OF republican administration.

Signs and Omens.

In the days OF the Roman en-
pire they could fool all of the peo-
pie all the time. Nowadays they
can only fool a part of the people
part of the time. The Roman
rulers and their henchmen made a
business OF il. They employed
augurs To do il and IL is a fright
what those wise guys could put
over on the innocent consumer.
It was the business Of these
augurs to deceive the people by
making them believe that their
rulers were guided by the gods.
When YOU read of il in cold print
II looks silly but IL was "a serious
matter to the Romans. No omen
was too obviously bunk 10 COM
mand their respect.
The augurs drew their omcns
from five things: the phenomena of
the heavens. such as thunder light
ming and comets (that was before
Ben Franklin's day.: from the
chirping or flying of birds; from
the avidity or indifference with
which the sacred chickens ate their
food: from quadrupeds, their
crossing or appearing i'm unaccus-
toned places: from different cas-
ualties, such as spilling salt or
wine, hearing strange noises.
stumbling or sneeZing. meeting a
wolf. hare, fox. etc.
When it Numbered on the left of
the augur the cOmitia could not
meet. The CrOaking of raven
on the left and of a crow on the
right was considered fortunate,
and vice versa. The beauty Of the
system lay i'm its imaginative quail
ity, the efficiency in the people
falling for IL.
IL all illustrates the lasting pow
er of impressions. Ii was a long
time ago that the augurs worked
the Romans. but to this day If a
woman spills the salt she thinks
OF doing IL, If she doesn't throw a
pinch into the fire TO break the
spell, and there are all kinds OF
people, sexuaIly speaking, who
wouldn't look at a new moon over
their left shoulders on a bet.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY =
THE PROGRAM IN MEXICO.
X X x X \ \ x x x x y x

THE PROGRAM IN MEXICO
If there are any patriots in Mexico
now is the time for them TO appear.
With the withdrawal of troops from
Vera Cruz. and the removal of most of
the warships from Mexican waters.
the American government will have
left the Mexicans free to work out
their salvation. If the Presidents
order for the evacuation of Vera Cruz
had even a degree of the calming eff
feet it was said TO have had, the pat
riotic hotheads in Mexico City should
be in a very comfortable frame of
mind. In this latest move, the Amer
lean government has again, il develops
depended IN no small part on Villas
advice. He desired that the fear of
further Intervention be removed. Pos
sibly the presence Of American troops
in Vera Cruz has irritated him as
much as il has other Mexicans.
Villa may thus be said to be respon-
sible for at least two recent develop
ments in MeXiCO--the other one being
the acceptance by Carranza OF the pro-
pOsal to hold a convention of delegates
chosen on a basis Of one delegate for
every one thousand soldiers in the
| field. Villas program, of which the
convention is a part. is under consid-
Grafton at Mexico City. and it's APPROX
i
been urged by American representa-
tives in the capital. Further assur-
anceS that Villa is not in conflict with
any other member of the Constitution
/ alist group indicates that there is no
/ immediate cause for concern. His
program would eliminate both Car
rama and himself from the preSiden-
\ cy.. The convention is to be held on
| October I IT is probable that Villa s
/ hold on his troops will give him con-
\ troll of the gathering. The points to
\ be decided are:
That a civilian take charge Of af-
| fairs while an election is being held,
| the date of the election and other sim
\ liar questions to be determined by the
convention. That no military man be
a candidate for president, -presi-
! dent or governor OF any state That
general amnesty be granted all politi-
| cal offenders save to those who parti-
! cipated in the ASA ssinatiOn Of Madero.
/ That officers Of the old federal army
! be reinstalled in the service when they
can show clean military records"
The exclusion of military men from
! the controlling offices lessons the dan
ger of a military uprising. Villas de-
velOpment has been one of the surpris-
| es Of the whole Mexican affair If he.
an acknowledged peon, illiterate and
uncOuth can put patriotism first, as he
| apparently has done, there surely are
/ enough others of the type to carry
/ Mexico through the doubtful days that
