KANSAS, TENANrRY PROBLEM

We are not sure that Governor
Allen will be able to lessen the num-
Der of tenants on Kansas lands by
his agitation before the legislature
but he deserves credit for trying. 1t
Ia a large problem. Unquestlonably
1t is to the advantage of any state to
have its land owners be also tillers OF
the soil. But TO frame law which
shall fairly discriminate between the
land Spectator and the owner who
after years Of farm life retires and
rents his farm to son or a tenant
and lives on the income is difficult.
No state has yet been able to make
this workable. Gov. Allen has start
ed serious consideration of the mat
ter and Kansas viii do well to follow
him in endeavoring to evolve a plan
that shall make it advantageous for
the land owner also to be the resident
on the soil

SENATE ON HIS HANDS.

President Wilson evidently has tn,
senate on his hands. 1t is in an oh
streperous mood, too, and he vii
have some job working with 1t. Tn,
constitution provides that the senat,
must approve treaties and his DELHI.
crate snubbing Of the body that mus
finally act on the peace terms was
calculated to start trouble. After
March 4th he will have Republican
senate together with several mem
bers Of his own party that are not in
ciined to give him support. He may
make speeches galore and 1t will have
little effect on the senators. Events
are proving that he would have done
far better to have stayed at his post
and sent truly representative dele
cation to the conference instead of
going himself with men Of no partic-
ular standing anywhere-and It is
likely that he will find 1t out before
ne gets thru with his treaty.

MASHINdToN,s WORDS.

On the anniversary Of his birth
these words of George Washington
should be read earnestly by every
American citizen. They are a part
of his farewell address and apply with
force to the problems Of today:
Europe has set Of primary in
terests which to us have none, or
very remote relation. Hence she must
be engaged in frequent controversies,
the causes of which are essentially
foreign to our concerns. Hence, there
fore, It must be unwise In us to i'm
plicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in
the ordinary vicissitudes Of her poll
ties, or the ordinary combinations
and collisions Of her friendships or
enmities."

INCOMES AND BABIES.

A new ruling Of the government
provides that while there is an ex-
emptlon of 5000 for children under
IS years in computing the income
tax of 1913, if the child was less
than one year old December 81, 1918
the exemption shall be only for as
many twelfths Of 5000 as 1t is aged
months. A family with a year old
baby last December 81 is EXEMPT
5000; one with baby three months
old is exempt $2050; with a baby
nine months old $3.50. As the first
year of baby's life costs several
times that Of any other year the gov
eminent seems to be drawing a rather
fine line and penalizing the young
parents rather severely. OF course IT..
only amounts to so tax on the whole
5000 per cent-but even that is
some burden for many young
couple. And considering the millions
wasted in improving" creeks and
bayous down South and other hun
dreds Of millions wasted in useless
1t seems as tho the ba-
bies could very well have been given
! fair show.
