According to Mr.. Wilcox. the Wash

edy." Mr.. Wilcox adds:
Il fully share your solicirude for

mortified to find how much basis there
is for the widespread criticism Of tho
results achieved by the traditional
schools in these directions.

AUTOMOBILE SECTION
OF WAR TAX PASSED
Owners, Not Manufacturers,
Must Pay; Increased Rate
Placed on Wines. y

WASHlNGTON. Aug. 17-Disposi-
ton by the senate today of many un-
contested provisions OF the s2,006,-
100000 war tax bill almost cleared
the way for the sharp fight which
probably will begin Monday over in
come and war profits taxes.
Among important features disposed
of were the wine and motor vehicle
schedules. Revisions of the finance
committee levying between 10000
900 and $50, 900, 900 on owners of mo-
tor vehicles instead of S6S, 10000 on
manufacturers as proposed by the
house bill were adopted as were the
increased rates on wines estimated to
raise S21,000,000 against $4,000, 900
under the house bill.
House provisions levying a per
cent tax on gross sales of many manu-
facturers and designed to raise $l1s,>
10000 also were formally eliminated,
the new automobile and other reduced
excise taxes being substituted. The
senate also approved the finance COM
mittee's action in striking out the
house provision for additional federal
taxation of inheritances designed to
raise S6,000,000. New England sena-
tors protested that inheritances are a
prime source of local state taxation
and should not be interfered with by
the federal government
An amendment to the automobile
section suggested by Senator Knox
and adopted imposes a surtax of $40
for each $500 value on cars costing
more than $4,000

GIVE THEM TIE LIMIT.

Oklahoma is not the only state
bothered with |. w. W. troubles, nor
has 1t the worst troubles of the kind
to bear. The little incipient rebellion
we had palcs into lnsignificance be
side the news from Washington.
Idaho, Montana and Oregon, where
an organized effort is being made
| TO keep harvcsters from working in
the fields and orchards, thus causing
the -produce to rot on the ground for
there is that the l. w. W. men. who
have been making themselves obnox-
ious for some time and striving To
break into Jail. have been "systcmat-
ically prosecuted" In retaliation for
this they propose TO block the gath
oring of the crops at time when
the whole nation is straining to con-
serve all possible catablts. OF course
they say they are not prompted by
| German sympathy, but they could not
do much worse if they were paid
agents of the kaiser. They are fight
ing against the United States Just as
much as he is.
The one ray Of light in the matter
is that the authorities. both state and
national, are vigilant and prepared.
II, as threatened, $4,000 men quit
work at the behest of the anarchists.
there will be some lively dolngs up in
that section or the nation The gov
ernor Of Idaho says he is prepared
for all emergencies. which may mean
that he is prepared TO nmlfy the
strike by importing men or that he
has plan TO forestall the plot. or
that he has enough force to break
up the conspiracy. At any rate. IL
they attempt to carry out the plot,
some Of them are going to feel the
heavy hand Of authority In a way
that will teach them the folly OF their
way. In Washington the officials are
in favor OF giving them the limit of
the law If the occasion arises and
we suspect that few hanginrs or
other sudden deaths Of aritators will
hc about the remedy needed to re-
store peace ana loyalty II they do
not give these fellows the limit they
will miss a good chance and the
country is expecting them to do their
duty without waiting for the new law
which could make such offeuses trea-
sonah'c and punishable by death.

MODERN INDIANS GUST CHIEF
Royalty Was Dethroued and Squaws
Recognized by the Chippewas.

The kaiser may as we'll give in.
And so may the antisuffragists. The
Chippewa Indians Of Minnesota have
set the pace. And who falls short
of it falls short also of the enlighten-
ment of the North American abo-
rigines.
The world is aflame with king kill
ing and crown bounding. Let him
who doubts learn of the proceedings
of the Chippewas, in tribal council
assembled at Bemidji. For have not
the braves excluded from that solemn
circle the chiefs OF the tribe? The
modern Indian, II is proclaimed, is "A
Democrat and will have no more of
feathered heads bossing him about.
And SO the dethroned royalty of the
braves OF the north was not even
permitted the seat of common citizen
ship in the Memidji council and
wended its way back home dragging
its regal red and its dignity behind it.
But with the dethronement of dl-
vine right in the north woods the
triumph OF democracy was not ended.
Far from It, IL the Chippewas could
beat the Germans in king topping
they could also beat the Americans
in squaw reimbursement. For that is
exactly what they did. With one
mighty stroke the historic council at
Bemidji raised the status of squaw-
hood from that of child bearer and
wood hustler to that OF hunter and
loafer-the women of the tribe hav-
ing long ago led off their white sis
ters in the>use of tobacco.
To accomplish these revolutionary
ends the usual struggle against the
forces of reaction had to be made.
Old Indians could not forget that a
squaw IL only a sauaw. Having long
