work towards the predicted ca
lamity could easily be abrogated
at the next regular session in
May. The license tax distri-
buted among the 1900 manu-
facturers of the State would
hardly be felt as from careful
calculations, the aggregate tax
will not figure out over $25O,OOO
per year; enough to pay for the
impending deficit. An income
tax would be much heavier
burden to bear, not only for the
manufacturing interests but for
all other interests of the State.
We have had public hearings
before the Ways and Means
Committee by nearly all groups
of manufacturers of the State,
and after going extensively with
their representatives into this
license bill and its operation
have in almost all instances sat
isfactorily adjusted the problem.
If it were not for a persisting
newspaper propaganda which
reflects the false perspective of
the situation, the license tax
would have been accepted. A
newspaper article on this sub
iect could not allow enough
space to publish the arguments
in detail in favor of this bill

Many people imagine that the
prominence of great men is due
entirely to their own genius.
But it is not so.
In this age the most brilliant
of men would be practically UNI
known except for the work of
the press in following their ca
reers step by step and report
ing them to the country at large.
Newspapers have been known
TO pick up men of just ordinary
intelligence and make them gov
errors. or place them in other
Offices Of honor and responsible
ity.s They are commonly known
as favorites of the newspaper.
More often it is simply because
they are willing to allow the
paper to dictate certain policies
and appointments.
But few men ever succeed in
getting into public office against
the hostility of their party
press.
The press makes or unmakes
them when it so desires.
It is not that the editor is a
man Of such superior intelli-
gence that he towers above the
rest Of mankind. Far from il.
We of the fraternity claim to be
no more than ordinary humans
who are trained in the arts Of
observation, analysis and dis
senination.

Dreyfus Explains his View
\ Of Manufacturers License Tax Bill

Representative Jules Dreyfus,
while in our office on Monday
explained the Manufacturers
License Tax Bill, fathered by
him in the Legislature as fol
lows:
THE necessity to produce
revenues to run the State with
Odt mourning deficit has promp-
ted the imposition a light man
ufacturers license tax. In the
old Constitution the manufac-
turers had been specifically ex-
empted from that class of taxa
ton. The Constitution of 1921
has intentionally renamed 81
lent on that subject as the one
preceding this one has been out
spoken in its exemptions. From
the best fiscal authorities of this
State we are liable to face a def
icit of $3.50, 10000 for 1922 and
this amount perhaps will be re-
peated in 1928. which then
would make the situation so
menacing and dangerous to the
credit of the State of Louisiana
as to imperatively necessitate the
passage and adopting of a State
income tax. The Ways and
Means Committee has thought
to obviate this necessity. An in
come tax bill once passed can
never in their judgment be re-
pealed again. A light manufac-
turer's license tax, if it would

HOW THE FORD RAILROAD
EARNS MORE PAY.
' : ::3o9

"On the day when general
railroad wage rates were re-
duced IL per cent, Henry Ford
put into effect a 40 per cent. in
crease on his own line. "A mas
terpiece of strategy the Wall
Street Journal called it, and the
newspapers of the country men,
toned it in passing, along with
the other astonishing fact that
Henry Ford had cut freight
rates, and at the same time
added materially to the earning
power of his railroad. The adj
vance in wages, it now appears,
was made in such a way that
Mr.. Ford profited by it along
with his employees. With
doubled wage rates. reports a
correspondent of The Wall
Street Journal, he gets triple or
quadruple returns in service
Here is a concrete example of a
Ford railroad man ON the job
compared with a railroad work
er of the same class on another
road:
"An inspection Of Ford's
watchman's shanty showed that
the man was not only a watch
man but q crossing carpenter, a
track inspector and q part-time
clerk. He had a set of track
tools, a shovel and several
brooms. In each direction the
track was swept up clean and
bore much evidence of the
watchman's efforts.
''In a nearby Wabash q. r.
& NJ shanty sat two idlers. A
board was out of the crosswalk
and one wing of the crossing
gate was broken. There was
much debris. Asked why he
did not fix things up a BIT. this
Waterman replied: First, be-
cause the walk is a carpenters
job, and the gate a signalnlan's

feet but what the editor can un-
earth glaring flaws in his ca
reer. 1t is the Analysing and
dissemination of these flaws
that puts him out of the run
ming. +
This the editor can do or not,
as he desires.
On the other hand, every
public official possesses certain
admirable triats of which the
public knows but little. If the
press keeps these things to the
fore it is only a matter of time
energetic service when the Off
cial becomes what is known as
"a made man."
Fortunately most editors are
rather human. They know the
weaknesses of public men, but
they do not expect perfection in
any one. They are content to
give a fellow a fair show, and
if he makes reasonably good
they boost him along. If not,
they generally permit him to
gracefully retire at the end of
his term, unless his acts are
such as to warrant condemna-
ton and exposure.
II is not the will of the editor
alone that decides these things.
1t is the fact that the editor pla-
ces his information before the
people and they render their
own judgment.
II is in this way only that the
press makes and unmakes men.
But it does it, just the same.

Despite this handicap, the con-
test was very close, as demonstrated
by the prices received for the two
lots The Grady county animals sold
for 25 cents per hundred more than
the Garfield calves. The price paid
for the calves fattened in Grady
county 1925 was the top paid for
club boys animals in carload lots.
Animals Were Young.
In the individual classes, the
calves from this county were not
old enough to compete successfully
against the older animals shown by
sons Of Shorthorn breeders of GAR
field and Stephens counties. How
ever, the Grady county lads managed
to get half Of their calves in the
money.
Allen Thomas, of Amber, won the
highest prize by taking sixth place.
Earl Smith, Of Friend, won seventh,
George Noakes, Algie Powell anil
William Butler, all Of Chickasha, won
eighth, ninth and tenth respectively
A calf owned by Virgil Lowe, OF
Chickasha, competing in the open
class against those owned by Short
horn breeders Of the state, won sixth
place.
Locals Win $t43.25.
Prize money received by the local
boys totals $143.25. according to the
head OF the vocational agriculture
department. This includes the
amount received in the Judging con-
test, both as team and individual
ly, and the prizes won by the calves.
George Noakes led the locals in the
prize winning. He copped $3.50 in
prizes, winning in the Judging con-
test while the calf he had fattened
won prizes in the display.
A total of nine head were shown
by the Chickasha students. Eight
of these were entered in the fat class
and one in the pure bred division.
