Swallowing Democratic Recommends
tions.
missouri State Journal.)


The surrender of the sold guard"
in the Senate on taxation questions is
all the more remarkable when it is
borne in mind thad virtually all of
compromise proposals, submitted by
the progressive group and accepted
by Lodge and Penrose, originated on
the Democratic side. The Repub-
lican majority in the Senate is nearly
as large as it was in 1905, under
Roosevelt, and it would be presumed
that this majority could initiate it's
own legislative policies. Yet the es--
sential features of the suggested
agreement on tax legislation come
from the recommendation made in
the report of the Democratic minority
of the Senate Committee on Finance.
1t matters not that the so-called agri-
cultural bloc adopted them in part,
they were Democratic proposals.
The minority report proposed to in
crease the surtax on incomes, as pro-
vided in the bill, from 80 per cent to
81 per cent. The compromise is 30
per cent.
The minority report proposed to
restore the tax on capitalization,
which had been eliminated in the
first Republican draft. The compro-
mise restores the tax.
The minority report proposed the
repeal of all transportation taxes,
and a reduction of miscellaneous
taxes. Both provisions are found in
the compromise agreement.
The minority report proposed the
elimination of the $4,000 exemption
on corporation incomes. The COM
promise provides that this exemp-
tion shall be repealed, except in the
case of incomes of less than $40. 000 Il
These are the vital features Of the
compromise, and, as a compromise,
are without parallel in legislative
history. There have been instances
of concessions to the minority where
the membership is nearly evently
divided. but never before has a great
majority yielded its program in such
large measure to the views of the
minority. The situation illustrates
the plight Of the Republican leaders.
The murmurings that have followed
their action bid fair to force further
revisions, by the abandonment of the
concessions mentioned. There are
pledges to bo kept to campaign con-
tributors. There are pledges to big
business and to the rich, touching up
on the excess profits and surtaxes
and these cannot be passed over even
to make it possible to complete the
legislation in hand. So, the G.. o. P
may be put to the necessity of back
tracking again, in order that there
may be peace in the family.

Bursum's Plurality Only One-Half of
Harding's in New Mexico.

The recent election of Holm O..
Bursum to the United States Senate
from New Mexico has been widely
heralded in the Republican press as
great Republican victory and Mr..
Bursum's plurality has been various
ly statdd at 1000, 5000 add 10000.
Senator Bursum himself, according to
the leading Republican paper of New
Mexico, spread broadcast the allega-
tion that he had won by 5000, and
apparently has never thought it
necessary to correct this false i'm
preston.
The official election returns show
Senator Bursum's plurality to be
5,505, approximately one-half the IL
600 majority for Harding last year.
1t is asserted by Senator Bursum's
supporters that he was given a vote
of confidence. On this basis, out of a
total vote of 7l,761 Senator Bursum's
'vote of confidence" is expressed in
his majority of 1,949, which is far
from an overwhelming vote of APP
proval in a campaign in which the
principal Republican dependence was,
to quote the same Republican paper,

The jury in the case of the state
against Ed Greasy, returned a verdict
of not guilty in the circuit court here
last Saturday morning. Greasy listen
ed cody to the reading Of the verdict
and made no demonstration except to
shake hands with the jurors. Mrs,
Greasy made no attempt to conceal
her delight at the verdict, and left the
court room with her husband a few
minutes later, her face bea ming with
Joy.
Greasy, who at the time was city
marshal of Piedmont, shot and killed
James II. Turner, deputy constable
of Benton township, on the streets Of
Piedmont on July Is, 1921, when
Turner attempted to serve warrant
on Greasy. The shooting was wit
messed by q number Of people who
testified at the coroner's inquest and
at the trial in the circuit court here.
immediately following the shooting
Greasy was placed under arrest and
was held in the jail at Ironton and at
Greenville under charge OF murder
in the first degree, until he was re-
leased by the verdict of the jury last
Saturday.

Griffin was suspected of the crime
at the time the murder was commit
ted and was placed under arrest, but
for want of sufficient evidence to
warrant a conviction the charge
against him was not pressed at that
time.
The Steagall family had four child

Some time after the death of their
father the children we're taken away
from their mother by R. Q. Tucker,
Judge of the juvenile court. They
were placed in finding insti-

The county authorities now claim
they have secured sufficient evidence
to make a strong case against both
Griffin and the woman. Their trial
will be held at the November term OF
the circuit court.

No Tax Relief.
lst. Louis Post-pispatch.l !


The partisan fight in the Senate on
the revenue bill may be interesting as
a spectacle, but what is wanted and
needed is relief from taxes that are
weighing 30 heavily upon the Ameri-
can people. Hope for such relief may
now definitely be abandoned.
Various efforts by Senator Gerry of
Rhode Island, Senator Harris of
Georgia and Senator Walsh of Massa-
chusetts to procure reduction on
$4,000 incomes have been defeated.
Meantime the reductions on larger
iacomes, as provided in the House
bill, have been pretty we'll wiped out.
On incomes from $4,000 to S24, 900
there have been considerable reduc-
tions, but from that amount up to a
million the decrease in taxes is too
inconsequsntial to have any appreci-
able industrial effect. Complaints
that the present law has driven
wealth into tax-exempt securities and
diverted it from expanding establish
cd enterprises or launching new pro-
jects lie equally against the pending
measure.
Disappointing as this will be it is a
result for which the public should
have been prepared. The Post Dis
patch has repeatedly pointed out that
no substantial relief from wartime
taxes could be had without substantial
reductions in expenditures. The
Governments one great opportunity
for retrenchment was In army and
navy costs and that opportunity has
resolutely been ignored. The argu-
ment that other nations have inn
mense military budgets and that,
therefore, we have had no choice in
the matter but have been obliged to
build ship for ship, is not an argu-
ment 1t is, of course, fact, but 1t il
fact which might have been very

THE RESULT OF CROWDING

One million people were married
last year. They needed 100000 house,
to live in. But only 10000 were
built.
Meanwhile the plumbing supply in
Gustly he'd the biggest year in is
history. One reason was that in
many places, houses were 50 cut
up that two families could live whore
one lived before. Many families had
attics 80 fixed up that anothcg family
could be taken in.
Where families had previou,l t.
spread over needless space, these
changes have been merely sensible
economy. But in othelcases they have
meant crowdin%, and congestion pro
notes disease. The reason why
houses are not built, is that construc-
ton costs too high. Thoc who place
this obstruction in the way of pro
tress, by charging too much for
either materials or labor, or who pro-
mote inefiiciency by restricting pro
tuction. may find other people on
their job before long.

"Tile Garden of Youth"
at Masonic Temple

The opcrctta, "Thc Garden OF
Youth is little gem, composed and
written by Mrs. Homer Smith OF ST.
Johnsbury and beinr staged under
the direction of Mrs. B. Z. Doyle. 1t
is produced under the auspices Of the
Masonic Association, Friday evening,
April /, at Masonic Temple.
Ihc music is exceptionally beauti-
full and pretty airs follow each other
from beginning to end. The story is
based on the oldest known human ex-
periencc, youth and love. The stage
setting is a beautiful garden sur
rounded by evergreens. The ladies of
the cast need no introduction to a
ST. Johnabury audience. They are all
soloists of no mean ability as well as
attractive and pleasing in appearance
and manner.
As the curtain goes up the pretty
daughter of Col. and Mrs. Maitland
is discovered in Youths Garden, evil
IDENTIFY planning for the coming OF her
friends. Her solo, "A Garland Of
Flowers" is wonderful sweet. AS
her mother enters they discuss plans
for the garden part Then the
colonel comes on and announces that
the friends have arrived. Solos,
duets and Quartets follow pretty
dances by four pretty girls. The
minuet by the older ones, the catchy
dialogues, the comcal expression of
S2mbo, the colonel's orderly, the
romance OF Jane, companion to Mrs.
Maitland, and sweetheart of the coun-
ty sheriff, are all splendid from begin
ming to finish. The story is good and
increases in interest as the play goes
on to the final chorus.
Miss Dorothy Brown has trained
the pretty dancers in her artistic
manner. Mrs. Doyle has directed the
groupings until they have become
perfect. The authoress surely has
displayed great skill in her compost
ton and deserves much credit for this
fine work. She has displayed her art
% completely in this beautiful work,
that al who hear this musical gen.
"The Garden Of Youth" will go home
with the receipt for remaining Young
and happy forever ALWAYS 1t is a
thing Of beauty and JOY forever

LARGE LITTERS PRODUCED
BY PROPER CARE AND FEED

One Of the outstanding features
Of the State College purebrd Po-
lond China herd, is tn large litters
II to Is in a litter being not at
all uncommon.
TN fact, when I visited the col
lege, it seemed to me that I had
never seen so many litters of un-
usual size assembled in one small
spot in my life, said Guy w,
Green, of the staff of the Poland
China Journal, in writing of this
remarkable herd.
James w. Wilson, professor of
animal husbandry st the state col
lege and director of the South Da-
kota experiment station, says that
the care and feed the sOws receive
is largely responsible for their un-
usual prolificacy, and also that in
selecting prospective matrons he
keeps especially in mind the num-
Der Of pigs in the litters from
which they came.
Exercise is also a large causative
factor in the reproductive enthus-
iasm which the sows show, he says
they are constantly walked to and
from the pavilion, where they are
nsed bv the classes in stool judg-
ing. Thus they receive their ex-
arcise at the same time that they
