Official paper Of New Utm, MINI.
Farm Bureau Sees Lgkt.

Business sees only one way OF
meeting the deficit facing the federal
government. Chambers of commerce
throughout the country almost un-
animously indorse the repeal of the
excess profits tax and the levying of
sales taxes
The latter might better be called
the back and belly taxes, for it's aim
is to tax those necessities which the
multitude can not do without.
The latest statement by the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation shows
that it has seen some light and has
somewhat reversed its former position
OF favoring repeal of the excess profits
tax. 1t does, however, still lend aid
and comfort to the back and belly
taxes when it says:
Excise taxes on specific articles
are to be preferred because they can
be so laid as not to tax the necessities
OF life" The Fundamental principle
advocated by big business is thus in
dorsed
The Bureau report also says: ''The
farmers delegates made it plain that
they would not object to lowering of
the higher brackets of the excess
profits tax" ,.

Men Who Repair Skeletons.

There are two kinds of skeleton
menders-the bone surgeon and the
skeleton assembler. Art schools, medi-
cal colleges, and students of anatomy
require an accurately constructed skel-
etOn to sid in their work
All the bones must be properly as
sorted and carefully put together.
They are strung on fine wires. The
skeletons -assembler must also pick out
of the hundreds of odd bones that are
sent him the 200 or more bones that
belong to the particular individual be-

task. and the price of skeletons is
justified by the amount of work re-
quired to construct them.-Popular

President Wilson has called an extra
session OF Congress to convene on
March 4, the day upon which the new
Republican administration will take
over the reins of government and the
new members of the Senate and House
will take their oath of office. The
path which President-elect Warren G..
Harding must tread upon assuming
his duties as chief executive of this
country, will not be strewn with roses
minus the thorns, for the Democratic
administration has seen to- it that
there will be a super-abundance ,of, the
latter. Somehow, we cannot envy
Mr.. Harding his Job. X

Padding Expense Accounts.

Efforts of the railroads to pad ex-
pense accounts and defeat the labor
clauses in railroad legislation through
repeal OF section 10 of the Clayton Act,
have evidently been abandoned temp
rarily. The delay caused by the presi-
dents veto of the bill providing this
step enabled numerous farmer and
labor organizations to get into action
and the public opinion which they have
been able to create has made present
congressman too nervous to proceed
further
But this does not mean that padding
OF expenses is not going on. The recent
fight was merely to legalize what has
been done and to open the gate wider.
A supply company owned largely by
officers of a railroad, for instance, could
not legally sell the railroad supplies.
Nevertheless they do.
And there is a legal way of doing
most OF what the insiders desire. The
Pennsylvania railroad and the Baldwin,
Locomotive works could not do busi-
ness legally if they have common
directors, but the Morgan banking
syndicate, which controls both, can
force the Pennsylvania to get its
engines and repair work of the Baldwin
Locomotive works at artificial prices.
1t is the guarantee of earnings clause
IN the Esch- -Cummins law which gives
the railroad inanciers the great desire
to pad expense accounts. Hitherto the
graft through subsidiary companies has
been on small scale and against the
interests of the stockholders of the
railroads.

cent is to be laid on German exports
to be paid to the allies. In case of
failure to fulfill the terms Germany
is to allow the allies to seize, her cus-

All this is in addition to a vast
amount of coal, livestock and railroad

The situation is another example of
how the powers that be in Europe
have run things into blind alley and
it gives the key as to why so many
European people look to working class
government as the only way out.

OFFICIAL REPORTS
RELATIONS STRAINED

LONDON, Feb. S.-AH American cor
respondents in London were called to
the British foreign office yesterday to
a conference with an important figure
in Anglo-American relations, who in
sisted that his name should not be used.
The official discussing Ang1o-Americau
affairs declared that relations are more
strained than would appear on the sur
face.
Questions under discussion by the two
countries can be settled easily through
the usual diplomatic channels he said,
while commercial disputes, Of which we
win always have many, none of which
cannot be settled, can be disposed OF
similarly"
He declared the Anglo-American peo-
pies are drifting apart, largely because
of lack Of comprehension of the other
countrys situation.
1T is inconceiyabIe." he said, that
these two great nations on which so
much depends should drift toward a
breach and become involved in war, yet
that is the path we are treading. An
AngIo-Ameriean war would be a calam-
ity Of the first magnitude Of the world"
