New York, Feb. 2l.--The steady in
crease in Germany's national debt iul

sweeping plan of taxation reform TO care
for the increased liabilities OF the EN-
pirc, already more than 20 times higher
than the national debt at the outbreak

formed a small part OF the last two war
loans. He calls for radical measures TO
check the piling up of the burden of war
indebtedness.
Norden contrasts with the policy Of
Germany, which, as is known. has not
provided even enough taxation TO meet
the interest OH its war debt and is pay
ing a part of the interest coupons Of
earlier war loans from new borrowings.

points out, had raised by taxation almost

down to the end of 1917.
The argument that heavier taxation
of war profits, which make up the bulk
of the nominal increase in Germany's
capital would interfere with the produc-
tiveness of German industry and the fear
that increased taxation of incomes would
kill the war-willingness of the popula-

While It may seem to require some
effort for a man thus to get his
name and business before the public
yet these psychological traits have
their compensations. Once an idea Is
thoroughly established in the public

is THERE ANY
CRIME IN SUCCESS?

1.-THE beet sugar industry in 1911?
prevented an acute situation in the
worlds supply Of sugar. Over 90
per cent Of this was produced west
Of the Missouri river.
1T is time that the people Of the
West realized that In caring for the
beet sugar situation that the East
ern and Southeastern portions of the
country, where the large population
exists, should have no interest in the
development Of this western indus
try. and 1t fs also very reasonable to
suppose that the politicians in these
territories are shrewd enough not to
make an issue, but whenever the &C.
casion arises to trade off to the det-
riment Of the beet sugar industry.
This sectionalism and the blind.
ing Of the West to its own interests
has been carried ON shrewdly and
adroitly by some Of the large cane
refiners on the Atlantic seaboard
who have been working continuously
for the destruction Of the beet sugar
industry.
I'm the past they have confined
their efforts to attempts to work
their destruction through federal
laws.
Having partially failed in this.
they now are devoting their atten.
ton to encouraging local agitators
and petty politicians to set up cries
of unfairness in dealing between

The popular mind is a funny

nouncement once and think they
have got 1t over" to the public. But
unless they make that statement over

seem to get It thoroughly in mind.
II you are going to have an en-
tertainment. and II you simply put
out one announcement Of It and do
not follow 1t up. you will not be
likely to get any crowd. People need
to be reminded q number Of times.
Then they get It into their heads Mt
last that It is important and inter-
esting.
Some men will make quite an ad-
vertising splurge for once. and then
keep quiet. They do not understand
that It takes q certain amount OF re-
petition to get an idea Of any kind

Good Penmanship Is
Needed

The government Is complaining
about the poor penmanship Of Its
men in military and naval service.
To this cause It attributes the delay
in sending out a great mass Of Feb
ruary checks for pay and family al
lotment. A great many illegible sig
natures and addresses have been
handed in, thus placing a serious DIFF
ficulty In the way Of clerical work.
With $4,000 checks to be written.
illegible handwriting Is no small pro-
position. 1t has called for q dot Of
correspondence to verify addresses.
What Is the trouble with our
schools that they do not teach our
boys to write legibly?
The old timers say that there are
too many frills, too much time CIV
en- to studies other than the sacred
old Three RS. They should remem-

teaching children to write fast. with
which many Of our educators have

think every boy was going to be q

BILE scientifically at . high rate Of
speed. On the contrary most people
in this age Of typewriters do not have
any large amount Of writing to do by
hand. They need to write very leg

write signatures and addresses and

Get Your Hoe
Ready

How about the garden this spring?
II is to be hoped that everyone
who ran garden last year will do
It again. Some Of those who had
only partial success said last fall
they would not. They looked at
their poor yields Of potatoes and
beans, and could not see that they
were paid for their labor and fer
tilizer and seed and other incidental
bills.
Yet even these unsuccessful peo-
ple raised some food. 1t helped to
keep down prices and assisted In
feeding the soldiers. II they quit.
the country will miss even the little
they raised.
And for every failure there was
some good reason. Furthermore.
the cause OF failure can Do ascer-
tained and avoided another tins.
Anyone who has tried 1t for year
should have acquired experience
enough SO that with a little intelli-
gent planning and good advice he
can get a good result another time.
There are millions Of back yard
gardeners In this country who last
year raised products worth $50 to
500 each in their own yards. The
assistance they gave to our country
in this war Is incalculable. They
should do so per cent better than
they did last year. ,..s...
And there are : great many peo-
pie who did not try It last summer
