the historical significance of the date

historical significance is the fact that
the forthcoming entertainment will
be staged upon the identical spot,
where forty-fve years ago, Idaho coun-
ty pioneers built Grange hall, which
was the first public building erected
where the city now stands. Construc-
ton of the historic old Grange hall

but the building was not completed
until in the spring of the year 1876
forty-fve year ago, at which time the
building was dedicated and opened to
the public with en- old-fashioned dance

MISSING LINK IN THE INTER.
COSTAL CANAL.

The Morgan City Review said:
"The intercoastal canal which
has been completed for miles in
both Louisiana and Texas.
which project has been before
the people for many years, is
still in doubt as to the important
link in the canal which will
bring it to the Mississippi river
from Morgan City.
Considerable work has been
done by the citizens of Terre-
bonnie to bring the canal to
Houma via Bayou Terrebonne
narrow canal, but owing to the
narrow right of way ON part
of the canal, the government
engineers have notified the par
ties interested in this route, that
it will be impossible to recon-
mend the Houma route unless
the right of way is given the re-
QulreO WlOtn.
The Government engineers
are aware that the route from
Morgan City via Bayou Long
Lake Verret and Bayou La
fourche is an ideal one, and is
available without any extra cost
to the government, and if locks
are constructed in Bayou La
fourche this route will be the
logical one"

THE WASTED PLACES.

Arthur Brisbane, the editorial
writer, making trip across the
continent looked out of the car
window and saw the vast
stretches of the Utah desert
land.
Water, he comments, would
turn all this desert into fertile
soil. What is more there is
Iplenty of water available. All
that is needed is human labor
to bring it to the desert. "And
there are 5000. 900 idle men in
the United States" He deplores
a social system and govern
mental inactivity which fails to
bring the man and the job to-
gether and give the man a
chance for a home on the land
reclaimed.
1t must make Franklin K.
Lane smile kindly, wistful
|smile, up in heaven. He tried
$50 hard to bring together men
who needed Jobs and homes,
and land that needed reclaim
ing.

ing in round tones of the waste
places of the EARTH" But wise
men know that wasted places"

TAX REDUCTION FOR THE
RICH.

President Harding has al
wavs taken pains to emphasize
that the tax revision to wnicll
his party is pledged includes .:
and means also tax reductlon-
What is presumably the ADMIN
istration's plan of tax revision
has now been submitted to th9f
House Ways and Means Com
mittee by Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon and it does include
a large measure of tax reduc-
ton.
It would repeal the excess
profits taxes, much to the relief
of the more wealthy and mo-
nopolistic corporations. which
are about the only ones left
making any profits in this era
of Republican prosperity. 1t
would repeal all of the income
sur-taxes above 40 per cent, to
the great relief of the very
rich whose incomes run from
$50. 900 to $1,OO0,OOO a year and
over. To this extent tax revl-
sion by the Administration plan
does mean tax reduction, and
i'm an aggregate amount SO large
that no one concerned cares to
put out estimates.
But beyond this point tax re-
vision is to mean nothing but a
still weightier burden upon the
backs of others than the very
rich. The sur-tax rate on IN.
comes from $4,000 to $5O.OOO
would be increased by this plan.
Letter postage increased to 5
cents is an added tax to be borne
by the great masses of the peo-
pie. Still higher taxes on to-
bacco fall the same way. A flat
tax of $40 on automobiles. re-
gardless of value or power,
would be relatively small for
the high-priced machines and
large for the low-priced. And
finally, the plan embraces an
upward tariff revision which
means a large and general in
crease in taxes on the living
needs of the people instead of
on their wealth and ability to-
bear.
Representative Garner of
Texas declares that every one
of Secretary Melons proposals
constitutes s'a shifting of the tax
burden from the classes to the
masses" 1t is not too strong 8
