The action or lack of action of the

Gently indicates that there has been
abandonment of the idea that the
government can by fiat or magic pro-
duce prosperity and provide lucrative
employment for the people. There
are still some who believe that the

out of the hands of men who built it
up and made it a success. There are
stiH some who believe that If a man
has made a success of handling large
sums of money in large enterprises,
thus giving employment to large num-
bsrs OF men, the best way to keep
things going is to tax the successful
man so heavily that he will either
have no surplus with which to expand
his undertakings or will be so thoroly
discouraged that he will retire from
business and invest his savings in nom

There appears to be large amount
Of unnecessary fuss over the situation
in the Pittsburg coal mining district.
1t can make no great difference to the
public or the state whether the min
ers work or not. If they choose to
stay out until Howat has been released
from prison, why interfere with them ?
The public can afford to stand COM
placently by and let the two factions
in the Miners union fight it out.
There is no scarcity of coal in Kansas
or of cars to haul it, nor is there likely
to, be. No emergency such as existed
when the state took over the mines
exists today and none such is likely
TO recur. If the labor unions of Kan
sas choose to heed the come-on call
of President Freeman and support the
striking miners in idleness while
Howat is serving his prison term that
is their business. The industrial court
still stands ready to meet any actual
emergency

The American Automobile associa-
ton estimates that by the. close of the
year there will have been expended
on public roads outside of cities about
100000, 900, and in 1922, if the fed
eral aid bills now pending in congress
be passed, the sum VIII reach $780,
600, 600 On city streets about $780,
100000. will have been spent this year
and about s6OO,OOO,O 900 in 1922. The
combined street and highway improve
ment will give employment to ap-
proxiniately 1,750.O00 men! The au-
tomobiIe association points out that
here is a way to extend practical and
S 'bstantial relief to the unemploy-
ment situation. Good roads are
necessary to the economic conduct tf
our social and Industrial life, and to
proceed with their construction is not
primarily a scheme for aiding the job
less.

Adjustment of the wages of railway
employees upon the basis of wages paid
to similar classes of labor IN other en-
Payments, and q reduction of railway
rates equivalent to the wage reduc-
ton, were demanded Of the railroads
in resolutions adopted by the execu-
tive committee of the National Indus
trial Traffic league at a meeting in
Chicago, September 80. The program
seems to find favor with the railroad
executives from the fact that their or
ganization is distributing the above in
formation. If the roads would take
the initiative and lower their rates
they might find it much easier to OBJ
tain a reduction in the wages Of the
employees. By reducing rates at once
they would lose nothing and might
gain much.

 Armament Program
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

LAS CRUCES. N. M.. Oct. 2o.- Joining with American business men in assuring President Harding of their support in his efforts to relieve the world of it's staggering burden and to enforce statutory economy for the benefit of the people. the directors of the Las Cruces chamber of com merce unanimously adopted the fol- lowing resolution:
 This organization attributes the decline of our foreign trade and the reduced domestic consumption of manufactures and luxuries to exces- sive taxation and to the exhaustion of capital and credit. It places hope of substantial ana world wide re- covery upon the success of the con- ference for the limitation of arma- ments and urges the administration to use every effort to bring about a drastic reduction of naval and mili- tary expenditure, so that all coun- tries and all classes may be relieved of a staggering burden which threat ems some with insolvency and confis- cation and all with trade stagnation and unemployment"
 A copy of the resolution was sent to President Harding, also to the United States chamber of commerce.

In answer to the reasons given by the city commission for the rejection of the plan to combine the office or the city tax assessor with that of the county tax assessor, Harry Pelrce' county assessor, was written the fol- lowing letter
 In this mornings Republican there appears an article under the headlns of, Plan to Combine City, CouhtSf Tax Offices Rejected
 In this article there are many mis- statements. In the first place none of the county officers were behlno this movement. The movement was started among the taxpayers them selves. and it makes no difference 10 the county assessor or the county treasure whether the city taxes are assessed and collected by the county or not.
 In this article the writer states: Many personal taxes are collected through the city assessors oIllce that would otherwise be lost to the city" As a matter of fact, the county collects taxes on more personal prop erty in the city of Phoenix than the city collector does.
 The writer of this article also states: Tt is desirable that city taxpaverss be made acquainted by officers thoroughly familiar with the subject. as to matters pertaining te

Objects To Statements Made About Joining Tax Collecting Offices

taxation whenever such explanation is asked for, such explanation in all probability would not be furnished by the county officers because of their unfamiliarity with such subjects and possibly upon occasion because the county officers would have no desire to make such explanation in justice to the city because of political diff ferences that may exist between the two organizations.
 Now I presume that the county officers are as well prepared to give taxpayers all the information that they want. as are the city officials. and they are as thoroughly familiar with the subject of taxation as are the city officials. Politics do not enter into the matter at all and all taxpayers get a satisfactory expla- nation to all matters brought before the different county officials
 In justice to the taxpayers, I wish to state that there would be no addi-. tional expense attached to the county assessors office if the county did the city assessing and a very small addi- tional expense to the county treas urers office. It would require but one more column on the tax roll. The county treasurer is now collect ing city taxes for all the other towns in the county.

 OMAHA, Oct. 20-One man was shot to death, two others will die and a fourth was severely wounded in a pistol battle between bandits and a sheriff's posse 10 miles southwest of Osceola, Iowa, yesterday after the bandits had footed the postoffice and three stores at Columbia, Iowa, this morning.
 The dead: Charles Jones. farmer.
 Wounded: Dr. I. w. Fuller. veteri- nary. Murray. shot through neck and body, believed will die.
 F. Eden, auctfoneer, Murray, three wounds in body. believed will die
 John Miller, farmer.
 The wounded men were taken to hospitals at Osceola, while citizens of the entire vicinity of Murray. Osceola and Columbia began a sys- tematie search of the country side. The bandits, in stolen automobile, were reported going south toward the Missouri line. Jones was killed when he attempted to halt the rob- bers with a shotgun. He died few hours later.
 The stores robbed were apparently subjected to a systematic footing, according to a message from Murray tonight and acts of vandalism were reported. Police have sent out notices to look for members of an alleged Canadian booze running gang in connection with the robbery and shooting.
