Salvation Army Appeal
Endorsed by President

An Endorsement Of the Salvation
Army and its home service appeal,
which will begin this afternoon with a
mass meeting at the Hippodrome, has
been received from President Harding.
Of the army's work the nations Chief
Executive says:
1T is my firm opinion that no man
is ever out unless he himself con-
fesses that he is. No organization
among US has done more to prove this
or has proved it in more cases than
the Salvation Army.
tYour letter has pleased me very
much with its reference to my speech
at the National Press Club. You sug-
gest that / remarked on that occasion
that it would 'be my hobby to take an
interest in the down-and- outer and
you suggest that the similarity of
that phrase to the Salvation Army's
slogan is particularly pleasing to you.
THE Salvation Army slogan, as you
state, is that "a man may be down, but
he's never OUT Perhaps your slogan
states the case better.
THANK you for calling my attention

Woman Prosecutor
In u. S. Dry Cases
Will Address Rally
Mrs. Adams to Speak Under
Auspices of Allied Citizens
of America, Tuesday; To
], Discuss N. Y. Situation

Mrs. Annette Abbot Adams, Assistant
Attorney General Of the United States,
will address law and order rally in
Pilgrim Hall of the Broadway Taber-
nacle. broadway and Fifty-sixth Street.
Tuesday. at S:1o o'clock, under the
auspices of the New York City Allied
Citizens of America.
Mrs. Adams, who is q prosecutor for
the government in its liquor cases, will
discuss prohibition questions, such as
the beer ruling, the state enforcement
law and the cooperation between state
and Federal authorities. She will
stress the responsibility of the aver
age citizen toward sustained law en-
forcement.
The career Of Mrs. Adams, the first
woman ever appointed to the position
she now holds, adds an interest to
what she will have to say Tuesday
night. Born in Plumas County, Cali
fornia. she took her elementary school
work in mountain school, and after
attending the University of California
returned home to teach. Later she
received her law degree from the Uni
versity Of California and was admitted
to the bar of that state.
With the election of John I. Raker
from the mountain colony to Congress
came q move to have Mrs. Adams ap-
pointed United States Attorney. In
that capacity she assisted in the con-
viction of three men on the charge of
ccnspiring to dynamite American ships
during the war, and made notable
record in her position on other counts.
In 1920 Mrs. Adams was appointed
First Assistant Attorney General and
was ordered to Washington. She has
created a deep impression in Wash
ington legal and governm entail circles
through her work in the department.
Of the Attorney General. One of the
stories told of her cites the fact that
on an occasion when she was allowed
fortyfive minutes to speak she took
only five, which is deemed noteworthy
by the story tellers because Mrs.
Adams is an attorney and a woman.
Invitations to Tuesdays rally read:
New York is Drying Up. Will it Be
Permanent or Will the Lid Slide Off 90
0rville s. Poland, attorney and super
intendent of the department of legis-
sation of the Anti-Saloon League, will
discuss the present law enforcement
situation in New York City.

TUCSON, ARIZ., HAS
RUBBER PLANTATION

Fort Worth, Tex, Jan. 23.--EX-
periments in the domestication of
the wild rubber plant, or guayule,
that grows in southern Texas and
northern Mexico are being conduct
ed in Arizona, according to state
ment from the Carnegie institution
of Washington. The guayule plan.
tation is near Tucson, Ariz., where
the Institution has desert labora-
tory.
The guayule is a Mexican plant
familiarly known as the rubber
plant of the Chihuahuan desert
The domestioation, the statement
said, is expected to have a decid-
ed effect in reducing the market
price of rubber
The plant, according to DR.. d.
7. MacDougal director of the bo-
tanical research department of the
Carnegie institution, has been
gathered in great quantities, fur
nishinG millions of pounds of low
grade rubber during the last thirty
years. The guayule is not tree,
but ig a bush like plant. of the
stature and general appearance of
sage brush.
"A group of eastern capitalists"
DR.. MacDougal said, "have been
employing scientific experts who
about five years ago began inves-
tigating to find methods that could
be used in domesticating a wild
plant is to get large quantities of
1t to mature at one time. 1t has
noceSsitated a study of the method
of raising plants from seed, field
practice, tillage and selection of
the rapidly growing varieties with
high rubber content.
THE wild plant contains from
10 to IL per cent of rubber and
under cultivation are already to be
found hundreds of acres Of mature
plants which show still higher pro-
portions of rubber. The quality of
rubber yielded by the guayUle is
suitable for use in the manufacture
of many articles and it enters ntO
the manufacture of automobile
tires"

marine, according to Captain o. J,
Christensen, head of the shipping
boards sea service bureau here
Captain Christensen ascribes this
influx of wouldbe seamen to pres
ent business depression and wide
spread unemployment.
In one month, captain Christen-
sen declared, more than twenty
men who gave bookkeeping as
their occupation, applied for papers
to sal before the mast.
During the year just ended, the
LEGAL sea service bureau, Which
in the same way as does

reau, placed a total of 5,917 appli-
cants, In addition to these S66 Of

all of the first named were tyros at

were experienced "a. BIS But
during the twelve months JUST
ended, more native born Americans
responded to the call of blue water
than ever before in the nations

urcs at the local bureau.
Attractive pay, good quarters and
the excellent food provided Tor
American sailors, according to the

counts in good measure for the

OIL FIELD WORKERS
FLOCKlNG TO MEXICO

Galveston, Texas Jan. ga
wholesale exodus of oil field work

of tanker line here, who are DEL
uged with applications for passage
to the southern republic.
AS one of the prospective emf
grants declared, the fields Of Texas
and oklahoma have been put upon
a commercial basis" with little
opportunity for the small spectula-
tor and operator.
Steamship companies operating
between this port and Tampico
have announced that unless appli-
cants already have gotten jobs in
the Mexican fields, they face the
prospective of becoming stranded
in the Mexican district. The state
ment asserted that American oil
firms perating in the Tampico
district employed their own men
through agencies established in the
United States, and that therefore
workers going TO the region would
find themselves in difficulties.

MEMORIAL. BUILDING
MAY BE ERECTED TO
GOVERNOR ROBINSON

Topeka, Kans.. Jan. pa me-
mortal building to Gov. George
Robinson. the first executive of
Kansas, will be erected at the Uni
Versity of Kansas at Lawrence If a
proposed bill is passed by this ses-
sion of the legislature giving con-
troll of the old Robinson estate
now valued at $250.000 to the uni
Versity authorities.
The estate, which in the main
consists of large farming tracts
near Lawrence. has been under
the supervision of the state board
of administration and X. L. has
been receiving the income only.
Recent Investigations have con-
vinced Richard ]. Hopkins. attor-
ney general. as well as the univer-
sity authorities. that the intention
of the eX-governor's will was to
give the property over to the In
stitution without any strings at
tached. The Robinson heirs have
expressed their willingness and
now the legislature is asked to au-
thorize the transfer. Under the
plan the property will be sold and
the proceeds used to construct a
new building dedicated to the
memory Of the first governor Of
Kansas.
The Robinson estate includes the
old family home in Lawrence. near
the university campus. Governor
Robinson lived in this old stone
house for several years prior to his
election as governor in 1860. The
old building, which had become
much dilaDidated with age, was
rented two years ago under a long
term lease by a professor in the
school of engineering. He has re-
modelled il into a modern home.
The old Robinson home has been
passed daily by thousands of stu
dents on their way to attend
classes at the university. many of
them being unaware that it is the
former home of the first Kansas

Suggested Economics Too Small.
The revenue commission report
advocating the abolition of the
mu"llcd police, a saving of $40,60O.
II would shear off the legal advisor

t"ndcnt If insurance, thereby saw
ing $4,000 more. 1t urE@s re-
organization Of state offices de-
signed TO save $4,000 annually.
But these are mere pittances when
compared with a loss of $1,250,000.
The revenue commission, how
ever, has asked for professional
iZed assessment service. There are
those who believe not without rea-
son, that professional assessors,
given travel allowances, would put
$100,00O,000 on the tax rolls with
in the space of a few years. That
would atone for losses in che totals
OF the big three-mines, railroads
and the grazing industry.
Demand Same Rule for All.
The revenue commission asks
also Il professionalism assessment
of the mines on an ad valorem ba-
sis. This much should be said: that
the state has. no right to assess the
mines on an ad valorem basis with
q professionalized service calculat-
ed to secure an exact and fair as
Sessmcnt, unless it also places the
smallest property owner on the
same basis by the establishment of
2 professionalism assessment serv-
ice for the listing and valuation of
ordinary property.
Supplanting the professional as
3essment of ordinary and special
forms OF property is the income tax
proposal, designed to catch the
man who has no property but has
good income. His children, u.s.
ualiy more numerous than those of
his landlord, enjoy school advan-
tages. lie and his family live under
police protection. Health safe
guards are thrown around them.
But the head Of the family pays
little or no tax. For these the rev.
enpe commission advises a flat in
come tax of 2 per cent. which
