DEAL DEMOCRATIC TAXATION.

Secretary; McAdoo. recalling the old
adage that -the road to a mans heart
runs through his stomach; has been
gathering democratic congressman at
the dinner ia BILE fors.a discussion of
the administrators fiscal problems.
He soon discovered that none of the
McAdoo-W ilson schemes for filling the
treasury meets with unqualified demo
cratic approval. Free traders object
to q tariff on sugar, or on wool or on
anything, in fact Farmers object to
a tax on gasoline and motor engines
and 80 do automobiles. Men with
money In the bank object to o stamp
tax on banks checks, And stamp taxes
as 4 whole are repugnant to many
democrats,
What plan will finally be deterpain-
ed upon for raising the financial wind
cannot be forecasted with accuracy.
1.-THE democrats could do exactly as
they wish, they would frame 9 tax
scheme to compel the payment of tax
es exclusively by republicans and. in
the northern, states. They have 80
administered the income tax that this
IL. the result with that impost; and
they are highly gratified at their sue
cess in putting that burden of govern
nent 30 much upon the shoulders tof
northern republicans. They would
like to make this the universal rule
regarding taxation and if human-or
shall we say democratic ingenuity
can devise scheme to this end it will
be gravely presented to congress as
anew feature of the new freedom. New
freedom in this case being the free
dom Of southern democrats from taxa
ton.

1t is amusing to see Senator Cum
minis recommending for passage res
olution for national prohibition. SEN
ator Cummins made his start in poll
tics as the special advocate of the
liquor interests and he was true to
item so long as it paid. He has never
been. teetotaller, by quite a wide
margin. and to one who knows the
man, this new pose as temperance
advocate, brings smile that is not
all of approval. We are not question
ing whether he is right or wrong, at
present, but we doubt his sincerity.

ion, national prohibition is bound to

JUGGLING POSTAL FIGURES.

CONGRESSMAN Frederick H. Gillett,
Of Massachusetts, Jan. 20, 1916-There
Il one singular incident in connection
with the annual estimates which at
tracted my, attention. The secretary
Of the treasury in his annual report
states that 1.-THE postal revenues will
probably amount to $316,OOO.OOO. with
expenditures for the postal service for
thee same period under existing laws
Of $324,OOO.OOO.." But the estimates
for, the post Office appropriation bill
we're only $4,000, 900, and wondered
where that balance of $8.0OO,OOO was
taken care of, and I finally found it
tucked away in the estimates for per.
manent appropriations. There is no
precedent for placing it there. Why
was not the post Office bill estimated
ct 1921, 100000 instead of $316, OOO,-
600? Why was, that $S,O00O0O hidden
under permanent appropriations?
can think Of no reason-or, at least,
none that; care to suggest-and ]
think It ought to be explained.

truth are the forces of evil to truly
hurt those who oppose them. In tha
days of Peter and Paul and their i'm.
mediate successors to espouse the re-
|ligion Of Christ meant death, impris'
onment. loss Of name. property, stand.
ing, friends, even wife and children.
1t was because of the heroism of the
early fathers, including Luther, Knox,
Wesley, Huss, in the middle centuries,
that we have the church of today and
the trend of public opinion all on the
side of the bible standards of living.
The zeal of these men, their heroism
for Jesus, should inspire us all to
stand for Christ, urge others to come
out on His side. contribute to the mis-
sion cause, both at home and abroad.
When the question comes up as to our
stand on moral questions. let the de-
cision be made in the light Of the
words of Peterand the thought, "Shall
l please God rather than man."

DEMOCRATIC DEPRESSION HURT,
NUMBERING.

Washington. Feb. Especial Cor.
respondence)-The deplorsble effects
OF democratic economic policies upon
business conditions upon the Pacific
coast is shown by the. story brought to
Washington this week by Mr.. Russell
Hawkins, Of Portland, Ore, who is ex-
tensive1y engaged in numbering. Mr..
Hawkins is the man who supplied the
two hundred and fifty foot flag pole
for the San Francisco exposition. the
latest single stick flag pole in the
world.
I've have numbering plant in which
100000 is invested and which. under
normal conditions, employs 357 men,
but which has not turned a wheel
since June, 1914" said Mr.. Hawkins.
where we formerly had 357 busy men
we now have one man with a greast
pot to keep the rust off our idle ma
chinery. There has been a slight re-
vival in the last go days, but we have
lost two years of active business. We
closed down before the war broke. out
in Europe, which shows that depres-
sion in the lumber business was not
due to the war, but to the general bus
mess depression which deprived us of
. market for lumber products. Our
experience was similar to that Of 9th

are now studying about events which
took place within a feH weeks after
Jesus assembled to heaven, and of the

spirit of power had come upon the
apostles and Peter and John stand
forth as the leading ones in proclaim

Just how President Wilson's ideas
as to preparedness can have more ef-
feet by his coming west and delivering
them in the form of speeches, is a
query no doubt with many. Why not
give out his ideas to the associated
press at Washington? They would
thus be given space in every daily in
the country and it would seem to have
the same publicity as when delivered
in speech at any point. Possibly
personal contact with prominent men
in the interior of the country may aid
him some, but it would seem very lit
tie. The great mass of the people will

Advises All Young Men 10 Select
and Prepare For Their Lies Work.


The Tabernacle was well filled sun
day night to listen to lecture by b.
II. Roberts of Salt Lake on Some
Important Things in Life" It was ex-
planned in the introduction Of Mr..
Roberts that the Y. VI. NJ. |. A. had a
department of vocations and Indus
tries. Vocation councillors will be
appointed in every ward to give the
boys and young men help in choosing
some vocation
The speaker prcfaced his remarks
with a statement Of conditions forty
years ago when the most successful
man was a jack Of all trades, be-
cause of the pioneer conditions. Now,
however, he declared the successful
man must be a specialist. lie must
know little about many things but
everything about something. a jack
of all trades is not successful any
more. For this reason the boy or
someone, for him should take stock
of his abilities and inclinations, and
he should be guided into those things
he can do best by some one who has
made n study of the employments OF
men.
In the past the boy has chosen his
occupation by accident or been per
mitted to stumble into il. The NJ. !
A. proposes to give the boys intelli.
gent guidance and ask what the boys
are goingsto do for their lifc's work
An idle brain is the devils workshop
The successful man must learn tC
work, but he should study and pre-
pare TO do that which will bring thu
best returns-the most success - tC
shoot as high as his mental or ply
steal abilities will permit.
He drew a picture of a series o
circles The largest was filled witt
unskillcd and uneducated workmel
and tho smaller the circles they wor'
filled with men more highly traine'
and better prepared, The boy shoul'
, not hesitate to enter the larger circle
but he should not be content to re
main there. There are many way
In which you can find out the ben
Of boys mind If mechanical guid
him IN that direction. If he love
; nature and animals make him

ted for something, and the vocatiana
