THE. TAX.

1t is inevitable that any new tax proposed
by congress should meet with strenuous oppo-
sition from the group of citizens directly
affected. Nobody wants to pay any more taxes.
There is need of careful discrimination there
fore, on the part of the lawmakers and the
public. Every protest has to be judged on Its
own merits, from the Viewpoint of the general
public as well as of the victims.
tax seem unusually we'll taken. 1t Is argued
that everX is already taxed three
times-once in the hands of the manufactures,
the tax being passed on to the purchaser; once
every year by the state. in connection with the
license renewal. and once a year in the per-
sonal property tax. The owner OF the car pays
al three of these taxes. Should he be obliged
to nav a fourth, when no other kind of property
seems to be taxed more than twice?
Those who defend the tax do so mainly on
the ground that people who use the roads should
nav for them. and that the tax thus collected
NAV be regarded as going into the good ROADS
fund provided by the federal government TO
helm out state highway construction. To this
it is answered that the automobllsts are
already making special tax contributions TO
nublic highways. and that If they are to pay
more IT is only fair that the money raised In
anv state should go directly to its own Nigh
ways.

BAR WOMAN SMOKING IN JAIL
Lincoln, Neb., Chief Of Police Acts
When Men Demand Equal
Rights.

Lincoln, Neb.-Women confined IL
the Lincoln city Jail may no longer
console themselves with a Whit from
a satisfying cigarette, Chief of Police
Peter tombstone announced today after
prisoners had complained of viola
ton Of equal rights.
The unequal rights, however, were
in favor of the women instead of the
men. One pule prohibited smoking.
Exceptions have been made in favor
of the women smokers by the chief.
Police Matron Dora Doyle admitted
that she permitted the women to smoke
upon order of the chief.
But the fumes of the denied weed,
penetrating into the quarters Of the
men, caused the smoke hunger of these
less fortunate individuals to cry out
for vengeance, and finally the protest
came when the men could stand it
no longer. 1--WE demand equal rights
anyway" the men said.
Chief of Detectives Walter Anderson
became the champion Of the mems
cause and protested vigorously to the
chief.

Specimens Sent From Honolulu
Lava Stream Brings Strange
Specimens to Surface.

Honolulu.-Varieties of fish hitherto
unknown were discovered as a result
of the eruption of the volcano of
Mauna Loa two years ago. This fact
has just been announced by DR.. David
Starr Jordan, chancellor emeritus of
Leland Stanford Junior university, Cal
ifornia, noted ichthyologist.
The columns Of lava burroNed
deeper into the ocean than man had
been able to penetrate, and thousands
Of fish of strange and fantastic shape
and color were killed and washed up
on the beach by the tidal wave caused
by the lava flow. Among them were
found six varieties hitherto unknown
to science because their habitat was
presumably lower in the water than
science had been able to observe.
Amateur icnthyologists in Hilo Ha-
wall, selected species which were I'M
known to them and sent them to Doc
tor Jordan for examination. The re-
suit was that the six new species
were classified.
Discovery Important.
81 consider the discoveries, from a
scientific viewpoint, to be among the

made public the classifications here,

Carl A. Carlsmith of Hilo, who sent
many of the species to Doctor Jordan.

It is a small black lantern fish, so des-
ignated because of the many luminous

Each of the six is a deep water
fish. All live in water Of more than
$50 feet in depth, and some as deep
as 600 feet. Nothing except such a
cataclysm of nature as the Alika flow
could have brought them to the sur
face, Doctor Jordan said. Rhyacan-
thias Carlsmithi ranged at least 1000
feet below the oceans surface, he
added.
Doctor Jordan has sent to the Smith
sonian institution in Washington, D. O.,
a paper detailing the results Of the in
vestigation and the new classification.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1921


Two good rules in force in the United States
during it's brief connection with war were the
ones requiring the registration and medical ex-
animation of all children up to six years of age,
and the registration Of all men between eighteen
and forty-five years of age.
thorough medical examination Of every child
once year would go a long way toward improv-
ing the physical standards of many children and
make them more valuable citizens when they
reached maturity.
The annual registration of all men would be one
of the best safeguards against crime and the max
ing of criminals that could be had. 1t would harm
no man to once year report to some county seat
and have his registration card certified to- and if
he had committed any offense for which he
liable for punishment his whereabouts could be
easily detected. 1t would tend to keep good many
from engaging in various enterprises that de-
trimenta to the country at large. Of course, it is
not likely that either rule will ever be again in
force unless emergency should arise. There are
probably many who would strenuously object to
either regulation Infringement upon their
personal liberty and rights. At that they would
be very good ones to enforce permanently.
