Rep. MondelI, After White House
Conference, Opposes Giving
Tariff Law Preference.
URGES SPEEDY ACTION
House Leader Says If IL Were Possible
to Amend Payne-Atdrich Bill
Within Six Weeks Ii Would
Be Wise to Do So.

WashingtOn-After conference
with President Harding, Representa-
tive Mondell, Republican leader of the
House, in outlining the probable pro
gram and policy of the new Congress
declared revenue revision legislation
should be considered ahead OF any
temporary or stop gap tariff"
Mr.. Mondell held that enactment OF
a temporary tariff law, along the lines
Of the Payne-Aldrich measure, would
require as much time as would be
necessary to pass permanent tariff,
How to tackle the allied questions
of tariff and revenue is the important
thing" Mr. Mondell said
Fears Flood of Amendments.
1T has been suggested in certain
quarters that it would be wise to take
up some measure, for instance the
Payne-Aldrich bill, modifying a few of
its provisions such as Schedule K.
but continuing it as it was, and pass
it as purely temporary and emer-
gency stop gap measure The sug-
gested postponement would be to fol-
low that with revenue legislation and
then permanent tariff bill, which
might not become law until the reg
ular session
personally I am somewhat doubt
full of the wisdom Of that policy. II
it were possible to take the Payne
Aldrich bill, and with a few changes
pass it speedily so thu it would be
on the statute books in six weeks or
two months I think it might perhaps
be wise to do it,
But | have grave doubts as to
whether this can be done. I am not
at all certain that such bill thus
introduced would not when it reached
the Senate be opened up for a great
variety of amendments, be delayed for
considerable time in its passage SO that
instead of securing what is suggested
prompt action on a temporary bill
we might instead find the Congress
considering for months a measure
which. starting as temporary meas
ure, might finally come to be consid-
Cl CO 90 q 1lCdSuI0 anu CIl"
tirely made over.
"Quick Action Only Virtue"
at would thus lose the benefit of
quick action which is the only virtue
of temporary measure. We would
also lose in what would become the
permanent tariff bill, the benefit Of
starting the bill as a permanent meas
ure rather than as temporary one.
IF any emergency measure is pos
sible in advance Of the permanent
tariff, it must. it seems to me, be con-
fined to a similar anti-dumping provi-
sion and possibly an amendment to
the present tariff basing rates on
American rather than on foreign val
ues. Such measure would be Of
value in saving the situation during
the period of consideration of per-
manent measure:

MANY JOINING
CLEARING CLUB
Enthusiastic Crowds Attend
ing Meetings.-Much Brush
ing Being Done

This week efforts were directed
towards securing larger membership
to the Rusk County Land Clearing AS
ISOLATION i'll the northern part of the
county. Secretary Schoepf laid special
emphasis on the membership drive and
nearly every person attending the
bleetingS signfied their intention by
filling out the blank. 1t is hoped that
more farmers will fill out these mem
bership blanks. 1t is entirely free to
everyone and all that is asked in these
blanks is to have farmers clear land
according to their own methods
Continued interest seemed to be
shown in the meetings. At the Glen
dale school f. III. Scott had perhaps
the most enthusiastic crowd so far this
season. The audiences at the other
schools were equally as good, and the
executive committee looks for some
very interesting meetings next week
in the towns Of Flambeau and Atlanta.
The association is now in position
to help farmers secure labor for
brushing by the acre. Several calls
IL
along this line. One man has left his
address with the secretary and if any
farmers wish brushing done by the
acre, Secretary SchOepf will be able
to supply him with a man. This is
only one of the ways the association
can help. At present the land clearing
organization is working to help get
another line Of credit for farmers in
clearing land. This will be taken care
Of in another column of this issue
IN travelling over the county the
amount of brushing and logging done
this winter is more noticeable than
eyer before People who have never
done any brushing before are doing
more this season than some Of the
older settlers. This is indeed a good
criterion of what Rusk county farm
ers arc able to do and it is hoped that
many more will follow suit and get
as much land as possible in crops this
year.

1.-The use of education concerns the
quality of ones life-not the length
of years, but understanding and ap-
probation. Education not only in
forms the mind, but liberates it. That
person is happiest who thinks the
most interesting thoughts"
Quoting Emerson, be said: in some
sort the end of life is that the man
should take up the universe into him
selfself or out of that quarry leave
nothing unpresented. Ionder noun
tain must migrate into his mind"
Education must bring us sense
of true values-not only a knowledge
of facts, but of their worth. 1t must
give us a true philosophy of life anu
an attitude of service to realize life's
! ideal values"

INJURED LAD BETTER;
DRIVER NOT LOCATED

Police were endeavoring to locate
the driver of the automobile that
struck little Edward Hamilton at the
corner of Main and Twentieth street
Monday afternoon.
Conflicting reports were given the
officers by witnesses of the accident.
First reports that came in to head
quarters were that the car was REQ
roadster. This was later changed by
others who stated it was Davis or
Overland.
The number that was given the
police by witness was found to have
been issued to a man by the name of
Clark Fletcher, rural route six, at
Shelbyville. 1t was for Ford touring
car.
May Be Ohio Car
Information from another source led
the police to believe that the car was
an Ohio car and investigation is to
be extended there, it is said
Edward Hamilton, who was hit by
the machine, is improving, according
to attendants at the hospital where
he was taken. He suffered d broken
leg and numerous cuts and bruises.
Witnesses of the accident state that
the machine was travelling at a high
rate of speed and put on more speed
after striking the boy.

half billion dollars in the United
States for tobacco. We spend one bill
lion each year for jewelry. Jewelry
is not altogether a luxury, but large
part of it can be fairly classified as
such. | suppose the gasoline burned
in the United States on any one Sun
day would run the schools of the
country for six months.
Its just a question of how import
ant is it that the whole body of citizen
ry should have at least an elementary
education. Price is no factor in educa-
ton. We must have it no matter
what the cost. True economy means
spending on the highest plane for
things worth most. If education is
one of these, then every cent spent
wisely and justly is economy.
Teachers Duty.
"As teachers we have the obliga-
ton to see that the public gets its
dollars worth from each spent. We
must also use more publicity to &C
quaint the public with the needs"
Prof. Graft spoke of administrative
problems such as the matter of local
control of schools, and the problem OF
co-ordinating and standardiZing public
school work, so that each community
would not find it necessary to expert
ment at great cost. He spoke in favor
of a uniform standard which wouldn't
be dogmatic
Zenos E. Scott. superintendent Of the
Louisville, KY, public schools deliver
ed the last Of three addresses follow
ing the address by Prof. Graft. His
subject was Sources of Power"
Il think that teachers, next to faith
ers and mothers, have the greatest
need for ideals. | like the scripture
4 shall lift up mine eyes unto the hills
| from which comes my strength We
| too should have those hills from
which to obtain strength. AS teachers
and as people we should have noun
| tains of strength from which to draw
| Oftimes we consider life as a level ex
istence. Life consists of high hills
peaks and valleys.
Kinds of Education.
| Physical education for our student:
is one way of creating a source o
power for them. Human machiner,
must be kept smooth and easy run
ming. Lets keep our muscles young
Don't use arnica, use more exercise.

should have a broad fund of knowl
edge. If / could establish one thin,
in normal schools it would be. the re
quirement that before student coult
graduate he must be public speaker
Take life as a Joy rather than a
a burden. That is one of the bes
ways to gain sources of power"
