THE SILVER
LINING

Direct tax reductions are not to be
confined to the rich or to big bust
ness. The Ways and Means Commit
tee has determined to increase the
exemption of married men from $4,000
to $1,000 if they have an income of
$4,000 or less, and to grant further
exemptions of $500 for each depend
ent and minor child instead of 5000
as at present. Those provisions will
make direct cuts in the assessments
of hundreds of thousands of taxpay-
ers in their next returns, for the new
exemptions will be retroactive to
January 1. 1921. Furthermore. every
consumer in the land will be indi-
rectly benefited by the repeal OF the
excess profits taxes and the higher
rates of surtaxes. Industry will re-
sumo. better labor conditions will fol-
low. and lower prices will be enjoyed
by all.

SHOULD USE
KNOWLEDGE

The press of the country is advo-
eating the passing of bill through
congress allowing $4,000 per year to
ex-presidents during their lifetime In
order that after serving the country
il the highest position of trust they
may not be reduced to poverty in
their declining years. The suggestion
is well meant, but the Record is of
the opinion that it would be far bet
ter to pass an amendment to the
constitution whereby all ex-presi-
dents would automatically become
senators at large for the remainder of
their lives. This would assure to the
country the vast stores of informa-
ton which our ex-presidenta ac-
quired during their tenurs of Office
and would also give them sufficient
income to provide for their needs

KEEP YOUR
SIGN UP

Robinson Crusoe was one of the
most persistent advertisers in the
history of success. He knew what he
wanted-a ship-and he put up an ad
for one. He flung shirt on a pole
at the top of the island, and that was
an advertisement in the language OF
the sea. The circulation was small
there was no other medium-but Cru
soc kept at 1t despite the fact that he
got no inquiries for a long time. He
changed his copy-as one garment
after another was worn out-and in
the end he got what he wanted.
Suppose Crusoe had taken down
that sign after a time and declared
advertising doesn't pay" where
would he and his story be now?
Put up your sign Mr.. Winnemucca
merchant-and keep 1t there. Cru
soc advertised under very discourage
ing circumstances, but you've got a
sure thing. 1t is only necessary to
have the patience. persistence and
pluck of Robinson Crusoe-and the
good ship Better Business" will

COSTS LESS TO
GO ABROAD

The See America First" movement
gets severe jolt from the announce
ment in New York newspapers that a
trip to Europe costs less than a trip
to the Pacific Coast Perhaps this diff
ference in favor of seeing Europe
first Is due to the fact that the rail-
roads are still almost entirely oper-
ated under the direction of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. which
regulates rates. and the Railroad La
Dor Board which regulates working
conditions. 1t would be interesting to
see what would happen if the govern
ment would loosen its grip little
and let the roads compete for the
tourist business.

TAXATION
PLEDGE

A staff correspondent of the New
York Times, Democratic, writes that
paper from Washington that members
of the Ways and Means Committee
want to keep the Republican plat
form pledge to reduce taxes Now
why can't the Times be honest?
Here is the exact language of the Re-
publican platform pledge on the sub
ject of reduction of taxes:
I'm presenting a true statement of
the situation, we must face the fact
that while the character of the taxes
can and should be changed. an early
reduction of the amount OF revenue
to be raised is not to be expected"
The Republican platform empha.

ministration would inherit an enor.

administration, and that this, with In

maintaining the various agencies of

Used. and ultimate reduction of taxes
was inferred. but is was specially
stated that immediate reduction could
not be expected. This is the first
session of Congress since the Republi-
cans came into power, and reduction

1t would be interesting to know
whether the Times is misrepresent-
ing through ignorance or malicious

ELECTRIFIED
GRAIN

That science isn't loafing on the
job as far as agriculture Is concerned
is evidenced by reports from Alberta
where grain growers have been
watching for several months the re-
suit of experiments with electrified
seed" According to latest reports the
harvest from seed treated by this new
discovery promises to be of sufficient
proportions to attract the immediate
interest of farmers in all sections OF
the United States, and we feel sure
rural residents In the neighborhood OF
Winnemucca will want to learn all
they can about the subject
The process consists In placing the
seed in a bath containg metallic salt,
such - calcium or sodium chloride,
and weekly electrifying the liquid.
After the electric current has played
over the grain to be planted a certain
fixed time, the solution is drained
off and the seed dried. The object of
the salt, It is said. is not only to de-
crease the resistance of the seed coat
but to maintain conductivity during
the period of termination. Calcium
and sodium chloride in the correct
proportions, 1t is declared, stimulate
growth and give strength to the new
roots.
The new process has created wide
spread interest among farmers of
southwestern Canada, and many of
the largest wheat growers of
that section havs sowed hundreds of
acres this year with electrified seed.
They claim the result is wonderful.
and that equal success could be had
in sowing corn or other grain so
treated.
