All THERE, KARL MARX

One of those grabbed old crusta-
clan stand-patters in the Senate,
raised an awful yelp the other day
because the graduated income tax hit
rich harder than the poor. He would
seem to favor a three-dollar poll tax
on the rich as being about the just
thing. Indeed he advocated sales tax,
which would reach only what food and
shelter and luxury the rich man en-
joys. If he saved his money, and put
it out at interest," and lived on cheese
and crackers he would get off scott
free Of all tax This, according to the
New England Senator was just, and
the idea OF soaking the rich man
in accordance with his wealth and
income seemed to cne Yankee as an
abject surrender to Karl Marx and
the Socialists.
[ The stand-patters will have to get
used to it. The graduated income tax
is worldwide institution The COM
mon sense of humanity sees that it
is fair that man should pay taxes
in accordance with his worldly goods,
whether they are in stocks and bonds
of business or talents, or what not.
| The more a man gets the more he
, has And the more he has the more
| he is indebted to an orderly civil
ization surrounding him for all that
he has Moreover the more a man
has, the more police protection he
needs And he should not mooch it.;
he should pay for it like a little man
and be proud of the change to return
to society something for it's general
uONOhNJ III OOOJ4hS laws, living uClSA-
borly and allowing him to accumulate
wealth. If this is socialism-what are
you going to do about it? This theory
of taxation in government is a part
of the civilization 1t is here to stay,
and the New England Senator will
have to put up with it. Karl Marx is
no longer a boyle man to scare the
people out of their wits. Karl Marx
was a gloomy old fool; but he could
mt help having few things right
And the graduated income tax was
one of them.-Emporia Gazette

WISCONSIN TENTH IN THE USE
OF ELECTRICITY

Wisconsin is the tenth state in the
union in the consumption of the won
derful force, electricity. New York is
first, Pennsylvania, is second, Califor-
MIA is third, Illinois is fourth. About
eighty per cent of the American
electric light, heat and power indus
trial field lies east Of the Rocky
mountains, according to a statement
in the electrical world. Continuing
the paper says:
Actually only 60.7 per cent of the
area of the United States is east of
the Rocky Mountains, but if the areas
of the various States were based on
the percentage of the total electrical
energy sold to power customers, then
|79.2 per cent Of the total area of the
country would be east of the Rockies.
Ia study of the 1920 population indi-
Gates that GIT per cent Of the Ameri-
can people live in States east Of the
Rocky Mountains The map would
indicate that at the present time al
most 80 per cent Of the market for
electrical manufacturers lies in the
Central and Eastern States. The i'm
portance Of the western section, how
ever, is rapidly increasing, the present
rank of the Pacific States being third
and the Mountain States ranking
fourth; but there seems to be little
doubt that the big field Of electrical
activity will remain in the eastern
portion of the United States for some
time to come"

A few more discoveries like the one !,

A few more discoveries like the one
recorded above and electricity will
be the cheapest and only common
sense source of power. Long before
the worlds supply of coal and oil gave
out these fuels will be discarded as
costly, clumsy, and impractical. a
This, of course, may be few hun
dred years from now. But the fact
serves to emphasize the folly of con
serving and boarding coal and oil de
posts. The time to put coal and oil
on the market is now, while they are
in the heyday of their usefulness

Corn is cheap this year. The crop is
somewhere in the neighbonhood of
three billions bushels, and the farmer
will probably received not much more
than fifty or sixty cents bushel for
it. The season has been good one
so far as growing conditions are
concerned, and the fact that many
cotton farmers planted only half
their usual acreage Of cotton and put
much of their spare land into corn
has helped to make this years crop
at least the second largest one ever
raised in the United States.
1t is pity that the people of Eu-
rope-except the Italians-are so sus-
picius of corn as food. If they knew
how to use it as Americans do they
could relieve their necessities and
save money by buying more Of our
surplus. The newspapers report that
some of the railway workers in Aus
tria struck because the bread furnish
ed them by the government contain
ed corn meal, which, they said, was
unfit for consumption" 1t is safe
to say that those men had never
tasted any Southern hoecake or West
ern johnnycake or New England fried
hasty pudding. Unfit for consump
tion," indeed!
Some years ago, when great
worlds fair was in progress. a South
ern negro cook was sent to preside
over a booth where the most delicious
breads and cakes and buildings made
of corn were offered to the thronging
visitors. She was an artist after hel
kin, but there is no evidence that we
have exported any more corn because
of her labors. Corn does not grow
well in most European countries, anC
the unfortunate inhabitants seem tt
think that what viii not grow il

THE ELECTRICAL ACE

After thirty years of experimenting
electricians with the General Elac-
trio company have succeeded in trans
hitting a 100000 volt electrical cur
rent over a wire.
This draws the age of electricity
one step closer.
Electricity is the natural power.
1t is drawn from the earth and the
air. The day will come when all in
dustry will be dependent upon cleo
tricity. Trains will run from Mon
treal to Vancouver on power general
ed, perhaps, in Winnipeg; ships will
sail from Vancouver to the orient i'm
PEELED by electricity generated from
huge power stations in British Col
umbia and transmitted by radio wav

turned to the house Banning got
good, hot supper and finished his work
about seven o'clock.
The second morning he rose at three
and walked to Mr.. Madison's. Break
fast was steaming on the table.
You're a lettel late, leetle late
yet" said Mr. Madison. "The chores
are done and the oxen are ready to
hitch. Set down and eat"
The third morning Banning deter
mined to be on time. He rose, dres-
sed by the light of the moon and hur-
ried off, without looking at his watch.
With shouts and knocks on the door
he routed out the farmer and his
wife. helped do the chores and then
sat down to breakfast. When they
got up from the table the farmer

showed two-thirty. Mr.. Madison gave
a gasp.

their own back yards cannot be good

their own back yards cannot be good
to eat, anyway.
You will pay much less than half
as much for thousand calories in the
form of corn meal than for the same
number of caIories in the form Of
wheat flour. We could do more than
twice as much to relieve hunger in
Europe if the European people would
take our corn as they take our wheat.
But the fact that almost a huntred
million bushels of corn has gone
across the ocean since July makes it
seem as if some, at least, of the peo-
pie in Europe were beginning to
realize what an abundance of cheap
food there really is for those who will
use it.
Our farmers might be better off if
they could ship their corn as corn in
stead of feeding it to pigs and cattle
and so manufacturing pork and beef.
More than ninety per cent OF our corn
crop is fed to animals, yet the food
experts tell us that in the meat OF
tho animals we get hack less than
twenty-five per cent of the corn so
used. That is why meat costs more
than bread. Almost any farmer
would rather sell his corn from the
bin than have all the trouble and risk
of feeding cattle or pigs and the
additional bother of dealing with the
stockyards at the end.-Youths Com
panion.

WHO FURNISHED THE LIQUOR?

A few days ago John Carroll of
GAINESVILLE was sent to the state prison
at Waupun for a term of two years,
having been found guilty Of driving
an automobile while intoxicated. His
car was wrecked and a companion
killed. The man who sold Carroll the
booze should have been smoked out
He was largely responsible for the
crime. Unfortunately, however, these
fellows appear to escape. They should
be brought face to face with the
Judge, the same as the others.
