HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW

Stock that had sunmered in those localities hastened ses movements toward the lower coun- .ry with tho advent of snow and colder weather. In the Pinedale section six incnes Of snow fell in addition to a heavy fall of rain.
 Much-needed rain occurred in Co., chise county, Douglas reporting 075 men Tor the week. Water holes and tsnks that had become greatly de- pioted over much of the stock section were replenished to a satisfactory ex- tent. The supervisor of the Prescott national forest fin reporting on condi- tons says in part:
 Taken as a whole. range conditions on the forest arc considerably below normal. Tn some places. however, the range might be considered as normal. Ints is due to the rather spotted rain fall The shortage of the range is also due to the necessity of holding over ~%~~NNA" wAA&A HAtV1Au AlANS ANWn HtAADUEU last spring but which could not be handled on account of market and financial conditions.

Courtesy is kindly politeness. IL you

BACK TO DAYS OF REAL SPORT.

While professional baseball seems
somewhat languishing this year
much attention IS attracted by the
Missouri Valley conference collegian
teams and the race IN which they are
engaged.
Despite appearances :her6 il no
lack of public interest in baseball. A
good game will bring a good crowd
Witness the big attendance gathered
from two or three counties last year
whom the semi-pro teams OF Mel
bournes and Newton and other towns
and communities fought out their
battles. They were fairly matched
and offered fair quality Of skill,
The main thing Is good contest be-
tween well matched teams with that
rivalry between them that grovs out
Of neighhorhood and community
pride. That kind of a game will draw
q crowd and give it all the thrills OF
victory and defeat that the crowd
goes to get.
It seems to be the chance Of the
schools and colleges to get back into
the game with good teams. Baseball
used to be an attractive way of adj
yeftising college athletics and at
trecting students. 1t Is just A. good

SOLDIERS RELIEF MADE EASY.

oOLDAn\S NASsSs ss@~ -
Congress is stil wrangling over the
soldiers bonus. In the end soldiers
assistance will come Of 1t OF course.
There is no manner of doubt that
some practical partial equalization
between the man who went to war
and the one who stayed at home to
profit by the expansion war created
will be accomplished.
But, instead OF wranglins why does
none have the courage and the JUS
tice to put tax on the consumption
OF Injuries thus raising the funds
for the soldier relief while admins
tering a wholesome regulation to
the habits of the country?
More taxes upon corporation prof
it's will merely add more to the cost
Of necessities. More taxes on large
incomes has the effect to drive CAPT
tai out of productive industry and
productive industry is to be encour-
aged and not disheartened in this
time when production is the key to
unlock our difficulties. A public
utility company in San Francisco.
writes a correspondent. which fur
nishes gas and electricity to the city
| is paying IL per cent and brok-
erage for money because the men
who might buy public utility bonds
dare not do so while the government
takes away from them 1-3 to 2-3 of
their interest income. Gas and cleo
tricity are necessities. Automobiles.
musical instrum ents. ornaments and
all extravagant grades OF clothing.
fancy and luxurious foods are all
Injuries which may and should be
taxed to discourage their consump-
ton and to divert labor to the pro-
duction of necessities.
Certainly the tax will be passed on
to the consumer. 1t is passed on to
the consumer when It IL laid on ne
cessities It isn't question OF pass
! ing on the tax but Of to whom 1t
should be passed and may be passed
with the least disturbance Of eco
nomic conditions and to those who
should pay 1t. A luxury tax would
raise the money for the soldiers re-
| lief, would check the purchase Of
luxuries by those unable to afford
them and settle the cost on those
who can afford to pay extravasantly
for luxuries. 1t would be a tax on
extravaganza as opposed to taxation
Of thrift.
To illustrate: plate glass for home
building purposes is high. There's a
reason. The automobile manufac-
turers are buying up the plate glass
factories to make sure of a supply
for their luxurious cars for which
orders are in sight
| Which would be better, a tax on
the $4,000 70 $4,000 car or a sales
tax on calico, a further tax on the
production Of agricultural nipple
ments or on the extravagant pleasure
car? Which do we need the more,
limousines or cornploys?

ury pay the cost Of soldiers relief?

This sheds light on the present
price Of sugar. and still more light
on the ominous prophesies of higher
prices emanating. Those who start
those prophecies circulating are in
position to make them come true
unless the government gets busy.

over the failure of congress to au-
