TIE LEAGUE AND THE PUB

rrc7' r1s Enio, tOkia-l Eagle
Before we give q letter from g. tr4v-
elins men published in the Kansas
City Journal which accords with our
own view of the sentiment IF the
country as it relates to the league Of
nations If there Is any honorable
way TO set out of the muddle Presi-
dent Wilson's bunsling has got Amer
lea into At Versailles. il ought 20 be
adopted even to the extent Of repu-
dating the whole league covenant.
and we desire peace with the whole
world Just as arden5ly as President
Wilson does.
The obstinancy with which the
press generally adheres TO the
idea that the people are in favor
OF the league Of nations is one OF
the most inexplicable things
ever met with. VIII you explain

sincerely believe that on pOpu-

WHY cARRANzA HATES US.

As nieghbors, Mexico and the
United States should be the closest
friends. As republics the bond be-
tween them should be strong. Mexico
has lived by reason of the trade we
have developed with her and we have
thrived on Mexican commerce. There
is no impossible barrier OF language
or conflict of religion.
Yet the breach between Mexico
and the United Staes constantly
widens. We complain against Mexico
leans TO their government and that
government replies with sneers
scarcely yelled. Our state depart
ment leans backward in the attempt
TO promote and maintain frendliness
over the border. and the Mexican
statesmen proceed deliberately to
cultivate intimate relations with
Germans we have but late called enc

No heed was paid. to Mr.. Hays.
If Mr.. Penrose is now able to
watch congress and issue direct

pected to show some activity.
This probably wont be for the
good of the country, but it will

WAY TO BEAT TAX GAME

A dispatch from Washington
states that government taxes
during 1921 will amount to ap-
proximately $3.50 for every fam
lily in the United States. A la
Dor man in Seattle has discovered
a way to beat the game:
I'VE are going to pay the cost
of the war through taxation, I"
he said. Il will have to pay my
share and the only way ! can
beat the game is to lend the gov
ernment as much money as ! can
and get back as interest what |
pay out in taxes.
Therefore, ! am buying War
Savings securities, paying four
per cent interest, compounded
quarterly, and am advising every
other man who works for a living
to do the same. know of no
better place to put ones savings
than in War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates. "

CONSUMERS PAY THE TAXES

The excess profits tax and the
luxury tax comes out of the con-
sumer and the consumer is the
multitude.
Take confectionery, ices and
soft drinks for example. For
each adult there are ten children
who buy these alleged Injuries.
The pennies on popcorn balls,
the penny on chewing gum is
added on to articles sold by
weight and the child consumer
pays.
More than one-seventh of all
the sugar consumed is sold in con-
fectionery stores and ice cream
parlors and pays the luxury tax.
We penalize the growing ap-
petite for sweets that is taking
the place of alcohol with rising
generations.
The excess profit tax and the
luxury tax are relics of the war
and should be discarded in favor
of more equitable tax system.

FILIPINOS DEBATE IN ENGLISH

The English language was used
for the first time last week in the
debates of the Filipino House of
Representatives.
The fact was cabled to the
United States 1nsular Affairs Bu-
reau. The principal speakers were
'Messrs. Benitez, De Guzman and
Virata. These members, it is
stated. are graduates from the
University of the Philippines.
English is taught exclusively
in the public schools. and, it is
announced, will continue to be if
independence is granted. Ac-
cording to an estimate based on
the census just completed, 10
per cent of the inhabitants of the
Philippines over 10 years of age
are literate. This is a higher
percentage of literacy than that
of any South American country.

Why Colds Are Dangerous

You are often told to "beware of a
cold," but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
abe vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer cold hangs on, the greater
the danger, especially from the germ
diseases, as cold prepares the system
for the reception and development of
the germs of consumption, diphtheria
scarlet fever and whooping cough.
The quicker you get rid of your cold.
the less. danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has a great reputation as Il
cure for colds and can be depended
upon. 1t is pleasant to take. Alt

quires Anti-Saloon League
Leader to Explain.

| ALBANY, n. Y, March 23.-The
New York state assembly, by a reso-
luton adopted unanimously last night
! state superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League. to appear before the
assembly judiciary committee to ex-
plain the foundation of statements
utterances and publications alleged
; to have been made by him against
members of the legislature.
The resolution as adopted was amend
ed materially from the form in which
it was introduced by Assemblyman
Louis A. Cuvillier. democrat. of New
York. The Cuvillier resolution. after
reciting at length a list of alleged
slanderous utterances made by Mr..
Anderson against members of the
legislature, demanded that he be
brought before the bar of the assem-
bly, and held in custody of the ser
geant-at-arms until he should affirm
or deny the charges against him.
Resolution Modified.
An amendment offered by Majority
Leader Simon l. Adler, and adopted
without a dissenting vote, eliminated
the clause requiring Mr.. Anderson to
be brought before the bar of the
house, and provided for an investfga-
tion by the judiciary committee.

and Col. Ransom II. Gillet, republican.
preceded the adoption of the resolu-
tion. No defense of Mr.. Anderson
was made from the floor.
Urging favorable action. Mr.. Cuvil-
lier declared the time has come for
the "house to protect its dignity"
Mr.. Anderson" he declared. ma
liciously branded the legislature with
being corrupt; he did not see fit to
spare either party in this chamber and
he assailed the governor. the speaker
and the legislature"
He charged Anderson with being a
moral coward. who has been trying
to browbeat this legislature"
Col. GilIett States Views.
Col. Gillet. who Is sponsor of a light
beer and wine bill, asserted it was
not his desire to urge punishment OF
Mr.. Anderson as an individual, be-
cause he didn't believe this man was
of enough Importance to take up the
time of this assembly"
Referring to a statement said to
have been made by Mr.. Anderson
that he represented some 1000
churches in this state" Col. Gil1et
said that after investigation he
learned that Mr.. Anderson docs not
represent any of the churches in CO.

county officials if they acted could
convict Mr.. Anderson Of bribery by
intimation.
Mr.. Anderson's Statement.
Mr. Anderson arrived at the capital
some time before the assembly con-
vened ito be on hand II he was
wanted" he explained. After the
adoption of the amended resolution
he gave out statement in which he
said:
"If anybody can show that I have
made any untrue or unjust state
ment it will not require any sum-
mary action on the part of the as
sembly to secure a retraction from
me- But as respects things 1 have
said which are true I shall stand by
them until this question ceases to be
an issue, and this action will not. any
more than a threat Of an investiga-
tion, keep me from telling the public
the truth about the public attitude
and action of members Of the assem-
bly, on a public question"
