new REVENUE BILL
SCARES Big firms
The Proceeds of the Measure Are to
Be Devoted to Preparedness, it
Is Said.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Democratic
members of congress feel that corpor
atoms generally are unduly and I'M
necessarily excited over the emergen-
cy revenue that was agreed 70 in the
Democratic caucus of tn house last
night
Shey feel that the public, generally
speaking, is uniformed as to the pur-
pose and effect of the measure. The
money raised by the enw taxes, aggre-
eating something over S200,000000 an
nually, will be applied specifically to
the preparedness program. Many Of
the critics of the revenue measure
were among the most insistent in
clamoring for preparedness. They
must help to pay the fiddler"
The bill provides that all corpora
lions shall be allowed an exemption
of $4,000 over and above their net
earnings and, in addition, an exemp-
ton of per cent on their capital
stock. The earnings over and above
this double exemption will be taxed
by the government at the rate of 8
per cent per annum.
Thus, a corporation capitalized ia
100000 will be allowed an arbitrary
exemption of $4,000; further exemp-
.tionf of per cent of it's capital stock.

Wilson's CHOICE
IS PARK FOR JUDGE
Deartment of Justice Recommended
Second District Congressman.
Fiuht is Expected.

Washington. Feb. president Will
son has selected Representative Park
of the Second Georgia district, for the
vacant federal judgeship in the South
ern district of Georgia, and today call
ed on Senators Smith and Hardwick
to know if they will accept his choice
The name of Judge Park was rec
commended by the Department of JUS
tice, and the endorsements accompany
ing it made very fine impression up
on the President.
1t is expected here that the Georgia
Senators will fight the nomination,
ahving united in endorsement of John
T. West, of Thomson, for the position.
If the President decides to ignore
the wishes of the two Georgia sena-
tors and nominate Judge Park, the
senators might be able to block his
confirmation until the adjournment
of congress on March 4th. In that
event the president would make re-
cess appointment and Judge Park
would begin his services on the fed
eral district bench without confirma-
ton.
Of course, there is possibility
that President Wilson may yields to
the insistence of Senator Smith and
Hardwick and name West. In that
event he would be ignoring the
wishes Of nine memberfs of the House
of Representatives who have stood
loyalty by administration measures.
The house members have urged the
appointment of Park.
Instead of. the protests from AL
bany having injured Judge Park with
the president, it seems that the char
acter of the attacks have resulted In
strengthening him wonderfully, since
they borught forth strong evidence
to show he had the nerve and the
high sense of judicial dignity to insist
upon the enforcement of prohibition
and other statutes against those who
are alleged to have favored loose OBJ
servance and a wide-open town. 1t
is believed that no appointment the
president could make would be more
acceptable to the prohibition forces
of Georgia.

Do You Use Your Agricultural
College.

The fundamental principle of
all public institutions is service.
The Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture was founded to serve. Most
folks have an idea that its SER
vice is limited to those who at
tend the institution. AS a mat
ter of fact, giving resident in
struction is only one of the three
important functions of the Col
lege of Agriculture The other
two functions are research or
experimentation and extension.
The experiment function is car
ried on to solve farm problems.
The solutions of these problems,
however, are of very little bene-
fit unless they are given to the
people. 1t is the business of the
Institutional and extension div
isions to make practical applica-
ton of the facts discovered by
experimental research and to
give them to the public.
The College of Agriculture
cannot, of course, solve all farm
problems but there are very few
problems which arise on the
average farm on which it can
not throw some light. To be of
greatest service, the College of
Agriculture must come in con-
tact with the persons for whom
it is working. Anyone who has
problems which he cannot solve
satisfactorily can probably re-
ceive some beneficial suggestions
by addressing the College of Ag-
riculture, Columbia.

Says Lack of Positive Religious
Training" Is Cause.

mad educators the claim that
education-secular Education
was the panecea for the ills of
society.-But our prisons con-
tain a high quota of educated
men. Our districts of immoral
ity supply us with exhibits of
cultured depravity. We have
been told that greater political
freedom was the thing needed
an extension Of the franchise, if
you please. But the red lights
still burn behind the feigned re-
spectability. The exploitation of
the people continues-more re-
fined but with more rapacity.
We have been told that in eu-
genics, in perfect mating and
its resultant offspring, we have
the assurance of a perfect race.
But we have the biological ex-
hibit of the snake charmer and
the human skeleton bringing
forth prize babies. Nor does the
barn-yard scheme of breeding
take into account mentality and
character, which some old fogies
still believe to be elements of
comparative worth. We have
been told that in liberal divorce
we can find a safeguard for true
morality. But we find progress
i've polygamy the result. We
have been told that athletics, a
sound body, is the boys best
guarantee of mental and moral
health and we find boys sent to
early graves as a result of over
training in the athletic field. We
have been told that in the NUM-
cipal dance halls we have an OPP
p%ortunity to preserve innocent
pleasure free from the faint Of
perversion. But the white slav-
er is still in the land. We have
been told that co-education and
higher education would give us
leaders, but we find that such
education will not of itself cure
m%ediocrity.
Accounting for our social and
moral d~istempers the dentists
tell us the cause is our bad teeth,
the doctors say it is microbes.
The psychologist suggests that
it is our inadapation to our sew
eral places in life. Social
scientists aver that the family
unit must be displaced by in
dividualism, the children includ-
ed. Industrial leaders affirm
that the cause Of our ills is the
need Of social justice. The rul-
ing class berates our discomfort
as unjustifed. The prohibition
list pipes that it is because we
drink, and the anti-prohibit-
ionists hat it is because we dc
not drink. The feminist walls
that wrong prevails because
masculinity is a tyrant. The
anti-feminist contends that it is
because man is a ninny. Pro.
baton judges decide hat baC
associations make the trouble
Criminal judges assign it all tC
natural depravity.
"The mistakes underlying al
these superficial proposals is
that they are directed as symp.
toms rather than causes. They
undertake to rest morality OF
law and contentious. They dc
not take into account the spirit
ual being of man. They do no
recognize that character anC
conscience are developed stimuli
ateously with the physica
growth of the child. They do no.
