1t has been asserted that the ex-
cess profits tax has the effect of add
ing some % per cen to the retail
price of goods, each man through
whose hands the goods BASS trying
to add his excess profits tax 10 his
costs OF production, and each OF
them puts on all he can In order to
be sure to get on enough. One
fault of the excess profits tax is
that no n can tell just what the
rate Is upon each taxpayer, and the
business man cannot tell In advance
just what his tax will be at the end
of the year. One advantage Of Q
sales tax Is that 1t is definite and GER
tain, and, II at the rate OF one per
cent. the dealer cannot possibly
justify adding more than one cent ON
the dollar to the price of any COM
modify. 1t is estimated that on an
average . sales tax would add about
three and q half per cent to the re-
tail price of goods, which would be
quite a saving as compared with 23
per cent. The assertion that the ex-
cess profits tax adds 20 e cent to
the price of goods is corroborated
by the statistics which show that re-
tail prices have not come down in
proportion to the decline in the
prices of raw materials or in proper
ton to the decline In wholesale
prices. 1t seems pretty clear that
the consumer would get off easier
with a sales tax than he does with
an excess profits tax.

Many Saw Eclipse of Moon.

A total eclipse of the moon occur
red Thursday night, and the passing
of the shadow over the fact of the
moon was witnessed by thousands. 1t
began at few minutes after
o'clock. The moon was 'full as a
goose" but fleeting clouds obscured
it portion of the time. AS people
were going home from the entertain
ment at the university and the last
picture shows they had an excellent
opportunity to see the eclipse, as
from one-half to three-fourths of the
face of the moon was covered The
total eclipse began shortly after II
o'clock and it was total until 3.05 Fri
day morning. From II until almost
3 o'clock there was not even ray of
light from the moon visible in the
sky. This will be the last total lunar
eclipse for six years. 1t had been re-
ported that there would not be an
other eclipse of the moon for so
years but Professor Eichelberger, Of
the naval observatory, says there will
be 20 such eclipses in the next 30
years.

had acknowledged the books to be his
on the day before) or at least recant
in part? That was the question
which was put to Luther in German
and Latin.
Luther replied at some length. lie
said that he was willing to recant and
cast his books into the fire, if he could
be convinced by the Scriptures that he
had taught error. His reply displeas-
ed Eek He asked Luther to say
whether he would say 'pevoco' or not.
Luther then replied in these words
"Since your imperial majesty, cleo
toral and princely graces demand a
simple, artless, true answer, | will

come and convinced by proofs of the
Holy Scriptures or by manifestly clear
grounds and reasons-for | believe
neither the pope nor the councils

fact that they have often erred and op-
posed each other-and | am convinced
by those passages adduced and intro
duced by me, and my conscience is
bound in Gods word, can or will re-
cant nothing, since it is neither safe
nor advisable to do aught against

'Luther maintained his firm stand.
He said, Rather will I lose life and
limb than surrender Gods true and
clear word
"On his homeward journey friends
took him captive and, for safetys
sake, removed him to the Castle Wart-
burg. 1t was there that Luther, in
December, 1921, began his translations
of the Bible into that German which
became the German in literature and
speech and which is still spoken and
written today.
Luther was put under the ban of
the empire and remained under the
condemnation the rest of his life He
nevertheless lived on and continued
his work until his peaceful death in
February, 1916.

the blessings of Luther's firm stand

The GodOwsky Musical Recital

There was fairly good attendance
at the university auditorium Thurs
day night when Leopold Godowsky,
noted pianist gave what is said to be
a fine performance. 1t was Greek
to the average man and woman, but
Godowsky got away with it in good
form. The first round was marath-
on, catch-as-catch-can, go-as-you-
please, endurance test between the
man and a fine grand piano forte.
Many times it appeared certain that
the piano would be knocked out by
the terrific "upper-cuts," body
blows" and "side swipes" of the Won
derful performer, but both piano and
Godowsky were on their feet at the
end of the first round, which lasted
almost half an hour. That piano was
glutton for punishment. Godowsky
got the usual "hand" and bowed gra-
ciously. He seemed to have exhaust
ed his anger in the first fierce round
and dealt more gently with the piano
and the atmosphere during the re-
mainder of the program, which con-
sisted of some sweet melodies and
many exhibitions of what we suppose
was "high art" Taken as a whole
the performance won the usual
amount of applause and nearly every
one said "Wasn't he grand The
answer supposed to be, "Oh, wasn't
he simply wonderful" Well say he
was and is.

PLAN TO INCREASE
OA|RY|NG IN IDAHO
RAILROADS AND UNIVERSITY
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE CO.
OPERATING IN THE WORK.

Plans for a campaign of encourage
ment for the dairy industry in south
ern Idaho by increasing the size and
number of herds, raising herd stand
ards and adoption of better methods
and equipment, developed by officials
of the o. W. R. & N. and the O. S. L.,
were today approved by the univer-
sity college of agriculture, following
a conference with railroad men.
Under the leadership of Farmer"
Smith, who for more than 80 years
has been carrying on such work, the
campaign will be carried to every
town, school house and crossroads in
southern Idaho The Importance of
more and better cows, the use of bet
ter bulls, and the adoption of more
efficient operation methods, will be
stressed The officials were here to
recruit the support of the college of
agriculture and extension workers
and to conform their plans to the pro-
gram of the agricultural college al
ready in effect.
The conference was attended by G..
L. Smith, known as Farmer" Smith,
agriculturist for the O. W. R. & N,
Joel L. Priest, general agent for the
O. S. L., R. E. Smith, general coloni-
zation agent, Omaha; George L.
More, travelling immigration agent;
E. Iddings, dean Of the college of
agriculture and Prof H. P. Davis,
head Of the dairy department.
after discussion of details, we
approved and advocated the campaign
in every way" said Dean Iddings fol-
lowing the conference. '1t comedies
with and intensifies similar pro-
gram adopted by us some time ago.
Farmer Smith will conduct the
campaign and whenever possible, our
representatives will be in touch with
him and assist in the work.
"The plans call for two-months
campaign, principally in irrigated
sections of the south. A special car
carrying literature and machinery ex-
hibits will be used. The drive is par
ticularly appropriate at this time
when profitable outlet for alfalfa
and other forage must be found. A
tendency toward more diversified
farming in southern Idaho is now evil
dent. More dairy stock must be
brought in and the standards of op-
Grafton must be improved.
Incident to the campaign, special
emphasis will be placed on the use of
the Babcock test in eliminating poor
animals from a herd.
