Washington, Oct. 1.-THE agri-
cultural bloc i'll the Republican party
which calls itself the progressive"
group has been strengthened instead
of weakened by the overtures made
to them by conservative Republican
senators in the last few days.
They are openly saying the new tax
bill will not be compromise but
practically as they dictate it.
The Democrats have determined to
vote practically as a unit in support
|of the amendments proposed by the
agricultural bloc. This means that the
tax bill as finally put up for a vote
will be radically different bill from
that which President Harding and
Secretary Mellon originally proposed.
While the Democratic strength will be
sufficient to change the character of
!! the bill, the minority will by no
means vote for the measure as a
Democratic votes and will be put
| through mostly by Republican votes.
| Thus the Republican leaders face
| the prospect of having to vote for a
fand which does not follow the origin
al desires of the Administration. It's
| this tax bill or none however and the
| measure has to be put through during
| this session or else Republican pros
tpects for the congressional elections
next year will be dimmed. It's curl
ously analogous to the situation
(which developed over the Versailles
treaty. The Republicans had enough
votes to include a series of reserva
tions in the ratifying resolution
These reservations were so objection
able to the Democrats that they de
clined to give their votes to make thu
necessary two thirds to insure ratifi
cation.

Yet, he was, as history proves. He
knew what he wanted-a ship-and
he put up an ad for one. He flung

man.
The ciruclation was small-there

got no inquiries for a long time.
He changed his copy-as one gar
ment after another was frayed out

KNOWLEDGE OF
CURRENT EVENTS.

An examination paper in current
events recently taken by 1850 col.
iege, high school and upper grade
grammar pupils showed that these
young people could answer only A
per cent of questions that every in.
telligent young person is supposed
to know. AS one illustration, in
one new England city only sefen
out of q high school seniors knew
who Henry Cabot Lodge is.
Tre average high school and col.
lege pupil does not know much a.
bout current events. Many school
authorities say that their programs
are too crowded with subjects now,
and that they cannot add the study
OF contemporary history without
excluding matters just as essenti.

The young person who goes out

DEVELOPING KID POWER.

ums in the boy and girl competi-

IMPROVING LINES OF TRAVEL

Much has been said about the de.
sirability of improving property
through which railroads and lead.

or by railroad usually sees little
Of town but tumble down shacks
and chicken coops in peoples back
yards. The property along the mot
or lines often shows a great deal of
neglect and disorder. a
A fine example of a general move.
ment for improving these conditions
is noted in Kansas, called the Pea
body Plan The Chamber of Com
1nerce in Peabody of that state has
initiated state wide movement, to
clean UP conditions along the real.
road and main automobile lines.
This chamber of commerse has Of
fered q generous prize of $1,000 cash
TO any organization of boys in any
second or third class city or town in
Kansas, for the highest score for
Identification of the property abut
ting on railroad lines or main auto
mobile trails, combined with the
best score for healthy play, useful
work. fellowship and church and
community work.
Clean up and improvement work
along the routes Of travel counts 40
per cent Of the total score. 1t is
suggested that the boys can per.
suade property owners to white

buildings. plant flowers and shurb.
berry. remove rubbish and unsightly

The prize is liberal and it will
start a lively competition in Kan
sas. There ought to be similar
competition in Colorado. Any town
where the boys or girls took hold of
such an improvement scheme ought
in year or two to present a wond-
orfully changed appearance. 1t
would do lot to convince travell-
ers and visitors that the city was

most in beautifying the routes of

Keen Within Your Income.

You will like the crowd with whom
YOU associate, but you know that it is
costing you more than you should
|spend.
You know of ways to increase
YOUR income, but it would never do to
let YOUR friends know that your regu-
lar income is not sufficient to keep
up.
You are drawing on surplus fund
perhaps using money which does
not belong to you-with the hope
that something will turn up to en-
able you to pay back the SUM that
you have taken.
Of course you may not have gone
as far as this, and instead you have
made ends meet by borrowing money
from your friends.
But how can you expect to gel
|square all around?
You admit you are too weakened
to do something which will augmen
your income, because of what you
friends might think.
Why not be honest and admit yos
can not afford to spend as you d.
rather than cheat some man out O.
