That deeds Of peace are no less re-
nowned, heroic and daring than those
of war the history OF the recent past
will attest. After perceiving for four
years the golden grain of valor and
reckless courage dotting the red fabric
Of war the world now witnesses a
purely peaceful adventure in mans
conquest of the natural forces which
requires heroism as high as any shown
in battle.

A sardonic grin must have played
on Presidents WILSON'S lips while he
wrote into his message his remarks
on needed tax legislation. He asks
the new Congress to make our taxes
more simple and easy Of administra-
ton, as well as less burdensome.
Mr.. WILSON must have realized
that, while a Congress of business
sense and economic enlightenment
might adopt q sane and sound tax
system beyond the desire and the COM
prehension Of q muddied and vindic-
tive Kitchin Congress, nevertheless
the post norton paying Of the very
expenditures Of Mr.. WILSON'S own
Government-the results of its legis-
lative and administrative reckless ex-
cesses-could put the biggest and the
hardest kind of job MP to the new
Congress.
We all want and we all expect the
economic crudities, imbecilities and
atrocities Of KITCHEN to be swept out
Of the Federal tax laws We all
count on the elimination Of the petty.
exasperating exactions which have
pestered the public without yielding
any worth while revenue to the
Treasury. We all await with conf
dence income tax schedules and prof
It's tax schedules which can be worked
out by the average business man
without the aid Of a stan Of high
priced lawyers and accountants. We
all look to see the nonsense of lux
ury taxes that win the applause Of
the Bolsheviki but do not pay the
Governments overdue bills 90 into
the discard.
But when all Is said and done, the
new Congress-the Republican Con-
gress to which Mr.. WILSON now ap-
peals for financial rescue-has got to
raise billions Of dollars to clean up
prodigious bills incurred but not set
tied by Mr.. WILSON'S administration
of the United States Government be-
fore the war ended. It has got to
raise billions Of dollars to cover the
colossal expenditures of Mr.. WILSON'S
administration Of the United States
Government since the war ended. 1t
has got to raise billions Of dollars to
take care Of the cost Of Mr.. WILSON'S
administration of The United States
Government to the end Of his term.
Mr.. WILSON has been IN absentee
President for many months. Confess
edly-read 1t In his mesAge-hc has
paid 50 little attention to the affairs
of this great nation that he cannot
discuss any of them in detail. He can
not discuss anything in detail except
his League of Nations and his other
foreign plans, aims and ideals But,
little thought as he has given to his
own country throughout those long
months, he cannot be unaware Of the
bilious Of dollars which have been
pouring over the national dam since
he gave up his functions but not his
title as Chief Magistrate of the nation.
Billions of dollars to be raised out
of the American people-"the taxes
themselves as little burdensome as
they can be made"-by a Congress
which never appropriated and a party
which never spent a penny of 1t!
Yes writing those paragraphs on
simple, sound, low taxes Mr.. WILSON
must have smiled the smile of the cat
which swallowed the canary.

Reforestration

The forestry question is one OF
the problems forgotten during the
war; that should now be taken up
with energy The country is short
on building stock, fuel, paper pulp.
and other material obtained from
woodlands. Great forest tracts are
needed to protect the water supply,
and tree growth makes any neighbor-
hood beautiful
The Boy Scouts of America have
led the way, by asking their troops
in every state to plant trees in
memory Of Theodore Roosevelt.
The authorities and public in Mis-
souri, should CO operate heartily in
this splen lid movement.
The New York State Conserva-
ton Commission shows what can be
done by Offering 100000 trees at
from ST so thousand for seedlings.
up to Sd SO for larger ones. When
you can get six sproutIings for
cent. there is no excuse for idle
land.
Many people won't plant trees
thinking they will die or move else
where before the trees attain size.
That is poor business aud poor COM
munity spirit. Trees add to the re-
sources of the state and town, and
within very few years make q
property salable at a better price.
If you can't wait for the more
permanent trees. try the quick
growers like catalpa. An Ohio man
writes of 1000 of these trees he
planted ten years ago. Many OF
them are twenty feet high now.
| The need of reforestation applies
not merely to wild tracts, but equal
ly to little pieces OF waste land near
cities. Don't let single quarter of
an acre lie idle in Monroe Co. If
:. you can't cultivate it and if it is not
likely to be used for building pur-
poses, plant trees. There is plenty
of boy and girl labor that can do it.
| There are forty-seven reasons
why Republican Senators, all their
boisterous talk to the contrary. will

visions for a league of nations. Only
one of these reasons need be men-

hardihood to frsstrate the worlds
