DIRECT INCREASE IN TAX ON
PEOPLE,.

A direct increase of approx
mately 33 Ia per cent in the taxes
paid for local purposes will be es-
tablished through the enactment
of the drastic and far reaching
program of tax legislation that is
now before the Legislature, and
the local taxing precincts and
transfers the income therefrom to
the state fund. By taking these
items out of the local units, the
property that remains, including
lands which will be about the only
possession taxed in the rural dis
tricts, must bear the proportionate
increase.

In addition to this gigantic tax

pile up q debt of $17,000,O00, rep

This will represent an annual

bills. Nearly 100000 a month
must be poured into the state
treasury to meet the interest

IDAHO n. ?. LEAGUE
FEAR DEBT BURDEN
If CHIEFS REMAIN
Conservative Members of the
League, Seeing North Da-
kota's Program, Anxious to
Gust Rabid Element.

1t appears that the proposed reor-
ganization of the Non partisan league
was not inspired wholly by a desire to
free the Idaho organization of Town
leyism and of the present Idaho lead
ers who have brought discredit upon
the league by reason of their menda-
cious and vicious writings and utter
ences, which approximate the state
ments of the widest Bolshevik or nj
hilist of Russia.
The more conservative members of
the league also believed that if the
rabid element remained in control
they would institute program de-
signed to fasten upon this state a
staggering Indebtedness similar to
that under which North Dakota labors.
DEMAND MUCH, PAY NOTHING
Next year the tax bill OF North Da-
kota will be s35,0OO,O 900, imposed by
men like Townley and Lempke and
Mills, Townley tools, who pay no
taxes. These men also arrange for the
spending of tho money! The story is
told in the following dispatch from
Bismarck, N. D.:
North Dakota's tax bill will be
$3S,000,000 next year.
The states tax bill during the
two-year period that the Non-par-
tisan league administration will
be in complete control will be
$70,000,000.
For state purposes alone, the
states tax bill will be 500 per
cent of what it was during the
last biennial period.
The tax will be $50 per capita
for every man, woman and child
in the state in 1919, compared
with q per capita tax of $50 In
1918.
For the family of five, the per
capita tax will be $3.50; last year
it was $3.50.

cay when oncoming members of the
female part Of it care not for mar
riage and are Indifferent to the

similar, howbeit the female seems
the more practical. The subject is
one, to be sure, on which dogmatizing
is perilous, and the disputants on
both sides are all we'll prepared with
arguments, but Mrs. Rippin may
hardly expect her assertion to pass

The Girls Romance

"Too much idleness," says Mrs.
Rippin, nationa, director of the Girl
Scouts, "is the reason why girls are
more romantic than boys" But are
they? Mrs. Rippin's definition of
idleness apparently is "reading fic-
ton and going to the moving pic
tures," and she would keep girls out
Of doors more, even imbue them with
"the gang spirit" But Mrs. Rippin
forgets that "the gang spirit" is the
very essence of boys romance. He
reads Of Kidd or Blackboard and
wants to be pirate. Frederick's
nursery maid was but the accomplice
of inevitable destiny when, bidden
to "take and bind this promising lad
apprentice to a pilot" she gave his
energies greater scope by turning
hm over to the pirates of Penzance.
Boys read fiction, too, and
exemplify the theory that "1ife
copies fiction" In this respect the
imagination Of the boy seems more
lively than that Of the girl. He is
the leader in deeds Of high emprise-
his sister the follower. He discovers
the pirate cave or arms the stealthv
band Of Indians. Perhaps with the
progress Of invention his ideas NAV
undergo "a change. To the younger
generation the motor car becomes
what the horse was to an elder.
Horatio Alger's Ragged Dick
would probably not be an envied
figure now. Even Old Sleuth must
be a back number in days when
youths of sixteen get away with
thousands Of dollars in the shape Of
Liberty bonds.

mind Ia that the girl 10 more roman

Mush

This is a generation that knows
not mush; at least, not the mush of
our daddies that was made on the
back Of the kitchen range by the
grandmothers and great-grand-
mothers Of the men Of the A. E. F.
That mush, served with milk as por-
ridge for supper, and, after the gen
erous residue had cooled and hard
ened, fried in crisp brown slices for
breakfast, was one of the chief ar
ticles Of diet of q period of our
history that had no need of concern
over Americanization.
Those who remember mush will tell
you that not till the big kettle
of water began to boil did the act
ual concoction of the delectable COM
pound begin. Then mother brought
forth the sack of cornmcal, dipped
up q handful Of the contents and
let the yellow particles sift into the
water in tenuous golden stream.
Again and again this process was
repeated, while a strong and capa-
Bile right hand stirred steadily with
a long wooden spoon till at last the
savory finished product when served
was as smooth to the taste as velvet
to the touch, a food fit for the sturdy
founders of virile young nation.
But there we're mishaps at times.
Perhaps resounding thump and
wall from the next room, warning
that baby had tumbled and bumped
his head, caused mother to let go
bf handful of meal all at once; or
maybe sister, young and irresponsi-
Bile, was assigned to the task Of
making the mush and impatiently
hurried the mixing process. Then
pleasurable anticipation would turn
to disappointment by finding in the
mouth little capsules of dry and un-
cooked meal that had clung together.
We have been stirring up a mar
velous kettle of wholesome mush in
these United States for the last cen
tury. and for the most part it has
becn a dish that has helped nourish

Propaganda Music

German music as art is one thing.
German music as propaganda and
an excuse for a pro-German demon
stration is quite another. 1t was
fortunate thing that the first per-
formance was given, so that the oc-
casion could be observed and judged
for what it was. When blatant pro-
Germans Of the war period appeared
in the forefront Of the performance
and the audience showed by its ap-
plause just how little the motive Of
TIE production was artistic and just
how much it was nationalistic there
could be but one decision.
To give such performances de-
feats the very ends sought. 1t re-
wives latent and fading animosities;
it delays a return to pre-war calm
ness of spirit. Such music may
serve an effective purpose in reas-
sembling the remnants Of the Ger
man imperial idea in America. As
propaganda designed to restore
German music to it's old position In
our hearts it is just about as fatu-
Gus and ill-advised and as ignorant
of the worlds mind as most other
German propaganda.
The surviving soldiers Of the Civil
War listen to and applaud "Dixie." I"
and in due time, perhaps, might
have become accustomed again to
"Die Wacht am Rhein." If the
American public has any good quail
ity it is tolerance. But we have wit
enough to recognize insults behind
a screen of false pretenses, and the
audience that gathered Monday
night did not assemble from love.
Its conduct, the way it applauded.
showed why it was there. 1t wanted
to faunt something it knew was Of
fensive. and it did. AS long as this
sort Of thing continues the prospect
for German music in America will
be poor.

Our Republic

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: wish to indorse most heartily the
letter OF "a. NJ NJ" which appears in
your issue of Saturday, October Is, on
the unfortunate use of the word "de-
mocracy." I agree with the writer that
it is far better to call our government
g republic. This Is good word 1t
means "ths common. or general, well
fare" But democracy" is vague and
indefinite According to It's Greek ORR
gin. It means nothing more than the
power % the people It lays no en-
phasis upon their wisdom, or their vir-
tue, or their good sense, but simply
paepie, who use the word democracy"
so glibiy could give you any definite nc
tion of what they really mean thereby.
The word comes to us with very ugly
memories Of the abominablc cruelty
CT that little Athenian democracy
which brought Athena to ruin, in spite
OF much talent and learning among
Atheniar statesmen, writer's and ar
fists. Moreover, Republican" Ia the

a hungry and dyspeptic world. But
the process has been too hurried of
late. Maybe it is because mother"
has had too much else to do and
cooks who serve for hire preside at
the kettle.
There are eight and a half million
persons in this country over the age
of ten years, according to Senator
Kenyon, who do not speak our Ian
guage, read our language, under
stand our language. In other words,
preserving the homely metaphor,
every twelfth grain in this kettle in
which we are trying to brew an
American citizenry has remained a
raw and unassimilable grain of for
eign meal.

Half as Much

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Let me suggest to the Tribune
readers that they join the Half-as- Much
Club right now at the breakfast table
half as much sugar on the cereals.
half as much sugar in the coffee; the
coffee really tastes better without any,
as an honest three-d day trial will con-
vince almost aay one.
An average family can save at least
seven teaspoonfuls Of sugar each day
by doing as suggested. This means
one pound a week. For the whole
country this would save more than L.
100000 pounds 8 wear, or over two
and three quarter million barrels OF
sugar a year!
And we would get along just as
perhaps better.

have an organization, but unionists
are a minority Of American work
ingmen. There is no general ap-
pointment Of agents. An agitator
such as Foster calls strike without
authority from any one. He appoints
himself to be boss. Here is a basic
trouble with collective bargaining as
now practiced. If there are to be
agents they should be chosen in an
orderly fashion.
Then when bargain is reached
it should be binding. But unfortu-
nately labor, especially union labor,
has been indisposed to assume any
possibility. The so-called bar
gain turns out, although this is
not true Of some of the older and
more seasoned organizations, to be
not bargain at all.

Margolis

Margolis differs from other Boil
sheviki whose college education did
not take by being more honest.
Others try to sneak into circulation
the doctrine which he openly avows.
If a, choice must be made Margolis
is to be preferred. A rattlesnake is
a rattlesnake, but at least it gives
warning and is not as mean as
copperhead.
Margolis testifies that his friend
Foster is a "borer from Within
that is, he thinks he can more easily
convert trades unions to Bolshevism
from the inside than from the out
side. Margolis says he does not
think he can, but in the statement
one senses that Margolis is a trifle
sounder morally-has an instructive
aversion to dishonesty and liking
for frankness.
Margolis says he does not believe
in the use Of force-that he would
not employ it to protect his wife
from assault AS to this the man,
Of course. falsifies. Men weave the
necessary consequences Of their acts.

ing it was bottomed on force and in

The Small Planes Success

The outstanding result of the
army transcontinental aerial endur-
ance and reliability contest is the
remarkable success Of the small
single-seater scout plane. This is
the class Of airplane designed for
the purpose of carrying a fighting
pilot, whose sole duty was to attack
the enemy in the air whenever and
wherever found.
The success Of this class is par
ticularly true Of the diminutive
Spad and Sc 8 models, each
equipped with the Hispano-Suiza
motor. Of the former type but a
single machine competed in the
race, and it flew across the country
without difficulty. Of the SEQ
type there were five entries. One
was withdrawn under the rules of
the race and another was forced
down in the mountains of Utah
during a snowstorm, but is still
serviceable All three remaining
SE-5's crossed the country, while
one of them, piloted by Captain J.
O. Donaldson, an American ace,
successfully flew 5,400 miles. In
this remarkable flight Captain Don
aldson established a worlds record
for scout planes by flying 5,400
miles at an average speed Of 108
miles an hour. His was the second
machine of any type to finish the
entire course, and arrived in such
condition that it could have gone
into battle after a minor overhaul
that would not have taken more
than two hours.
An interesting feature Of the
race was the entry Of three cap
tured German Fokkers, powered
with the Mercedes engine. Two of
them were eliminated early. The
third succeeded in making San
Francisco only through the magnif-
cent pilotage of Lieutenant Colonel
H. E. Hartney, an American ace
with the most picturesque record
To achieve success, Lieutenant Colo
mel Hartney was compelled to instill
an additional gasolene tank at Cleve-
land, after the first day of flying.
From these results it is clearly
demonstrated that the battle planes
Of Allied design outclassed the Ger
man model. They also prove the
superior enduring qualities of the
Allied engine oyer the German
rival. The Allied battle planes
have demonstrated their ability to
fly over vast distances and arrive
fit to do battle almost Immediately
afterward.
This fact is of the most vital i'm
portance to the future aerial de
Tense of the country, particularly
as there are at least three wholly
American designs Of this class
which, though not entered in the
race, are known to be equal to the
Spad and the SE-5.

In Northwestern Russia

Rapid has been the development
of the Russian Northwestern gov
ernment, latest conner among the
anti Bolshevik formations. 1t was
organized as late as last August at
the ancient city of Pskov by a num-
Der of Russians Of high standing,
led by one Stepan Georgievitch
Lianozov, who is it's Premier.
Unlike the military movements Of
Kolchak and Denikine, undertaken
merely for the overthrow of the
Moscow Soviet, the Pskov enter
prise was organized from the be-
ginning on the lines of an indus
trial-economic reconstruction under
taking. The members of the Cabinet
are mostly business and technical ex-
perts, with few old-time zemstvo
administrators and Duma leaders.
Two of them are associated with
Mr.. Lianozov in the oil firm of G.
M. Lianozov & Sons, one of the
largest Russian concerns Of it's kind.
The Minister Of Justice is the for
mer Senator Sergei Ivanov, late
president Of the Petrograd Board of
Aldermen; Alexander Germ, Minis
ter Of Education, used to be promi-
nent in zemstvo circles, having
achieved fame as organizer of
number Of successful agricultural
schools in the government of Vladi-
mir; while the Minister of the In
terror, Alexander Alexandrov,
Yekaterinoslav attorney and former
member Of the Duma, is an expert
on municipal government, and was
chairman Of the Duma committee on
municipal affairs.
The three last named belong to
the party Of Constitutional Demo-
Gratis, which led the first Russian
revolution. Mr.. Lianozov and his
two business associates are "inde-
pendents" in politics; the Minister
of Post and Telegraph, Filipev, and
the Minister Of Marine, Admiral
Pilkin, are experts without any
political past. At least one port
folio, that of agriculture, was as
signed to Social Revolutionary by
the name of Bogdanov, while there
vas talk in August of including III
the Cabinet two representatives of
the Mensheviki as well.
This structure gives the Pskov
government a general complexion Of
moderate liberalism, with strong
emphasis on non political expert tai
ent. In other words, the new Cabi-
net has, at least as far as personnel
is concerned, the possibility Of evolv-
ing just the line of constructive pol
icy most urgently needed by Russia,
with her economic status ruined by
five years war and revolution. By
defeating the Bolsheviki in and
around Pctrograd and controlling
the Baltic littoral the new govern
ment becomes Russias western gate
+ keeper
That the government does not
neglect the military side is evidenced
by the successes Of it's commander in
chief, General Yudenitch, a brilliant
soldier who was in charge of Russian
operations in Asiatic Turkey and
reaped one of the most spectacular
victories Of the whole war by the
capture Of Erzerum, capital Of
Turkish Armenia.
