III Treatment or The Jews

The Jews, like the Armenians. have been prosecuted for centuries and aft CT all Is said and done by the Peace Conference there is little doubt there will be outbreaks Of that type from time to time. However, it is certain there will some provision against the harmiDG of innocent people mere ly because they are of another race.
 The Poles arc peculiar people for they seem to dislike other nations e,- cept themselves. During the time they werc under the Russian government they refused to speak the Russian language or to stSdy 1t at school. They were forced to use it In transac- uons with the government. They were always sullen and no matter what flaw ors Russia offered to them they made and even refused to recognize him as the Czar. but spoke of him as the King of Poland. They claimed that were continually pratins about what a great nation they had been.
 Early History
 Polish history professes to go back to the fourth century. but it's history up to the tenth century Is too leg endary to have much value and even at that period there was little of in- terest. Not until S.Eismund I, sur named the Great, came to the throne in 1506 was the country raised to prosperity. This ruler was generous and was well beloved by his people and he brought about harmony among the turbulent nobles. He. however,

every implement of agriculture as well as everything else in the hope of starv- ing the people.
 The land is productive but the peo- pie have no farming implements and they are so weak from lack of food that they cannot even work if they had the machinery.
 Warsaw, the largest city, is beauti- fully situated on plain on the Vistula River. The main part of the city is close to the river, and houses are quaint and many are very old. The city has always been an intellectual center and many of OFT finest singers and musicians have called Warsaw their home.
 PitifuI Condition The Socialists have appeared but they are not making any attempt to feed the women and children who stand about begging for food. Num- bers of children are going blind through slfering with trachoma, the
 dreaded eye disease. There are also
 several thousand i'll from tuberculosis. Both of these diseases are from lack
 of medicine and proper food. i The old Jewish market, where a
 great part of the foodstuffs were
 handled is almost empty, as few can
 get any food to offer. The once beau
 tiful boulevards, built in imitation of i the Champs-Elysess of Paris, show lit tie of their old time splendor. Beggars
 are everywhere.
 The Catholic church predominates l as a religion, but there are more than 1 300,000 Jews about the city, both
 Poles and Jews have little food and no work. Poland's plight is pitiful and it may be many years and only after
 much suffering that this chrysalis of a nation may come into the sunshine.

of yellow fever so they gained no help for Poland.
 They at last settled down as an un- happy people, the three parts of which were ruled by Austria, Germany and Russia. They suffered humiliation from each one and were known as the saddest people iii Europe.
 Divided Between Nations
 Then the great war came which threw the great armies of Europe in conflict on the disnembered soil of Poland. The Poles were Slavs but they owed allegiance to three nations and were drawn into these armies. Finally they concluded that if some fought with each army they might in some way gain recognition. Russia made the biggest play for them by promising them a certain freedom and the Czar even sent q religious address to them which caught many and they tried to fight against Germany with the Russians, but the retreat of the Russian army left them an easy victim to the Huns who devastated Poland as they did Belgium. destroying hundreds of villages.

Perhaps. among the happiest people in the world, are the Ekoi, of South ern Nigeria, on the equator. Here they pay no taxes, and a few weeks labor will supply them with food, clothes and a home for year. thanks to the fruitful land. These people have superstition that litt.o children love sweet words. kind looks and gen.

As a rule there are about eight hundred plants to the acre. The juice is extracted by the peons. It is shipped into town in long trains much like our milk trains here.

THROW 0UT TAX CASES FROM SUPREME COURT
 NJ ONE ID URGE THEM

The supreme court of Arizona threw out two important tax cases on Mon day because the offices of Attorney General Wiley Jones failed to present them properly. or 10 be more accur- ate failed to appear to present them at all.
 The court also dismissed fo4r cases on appeal from Pima county regard ing the confiscatiou of automobiles taken from bootlessers for carrying in liquor in them against the statutes made and provided. These cases were dismissed for the same reason.
 The tax eases that Were dismissed for lack of representation mean a difference in the state and county taxes of approximately S1G0000. ac- cOrding to the tax commission. and raises the very important question as to whether the taxation of intangible assets, as provided in the Arizona tax law. can be sustained.
 The suits were brought by the h. spiratiOn Copper company and the h. ternational Shelter company to re- cover approximately S1G0,000 in taxes
