TAX LAW IMPROVED

Some criticisms are heard of the Re-
publican tax law recently signed by
President Harding. No matter what
form of internal revenue law the Con-
gress had enacted it would not have met
the approval of all of the people, so
the present act is no exception in that
regard. The fact is that the new law
law lifts an annual tax burden of $685.
100000 from the backs of the people.
That is $S for every man, woman, and
child in the country. Income tax payers
will be permitted additional exemptions,
ON account of dependents, of $30,000,000,
and on account of being heads of famil-
les their tax bills will be cut s4O,OOO,OOO.
Men of large incomes will be relieved to
the extent of $6O,OOO,OOO because of de-
cerased surtaXes. A burden of $500, O,0O0,-
600 in excess profits taxes has been taken
from industry and transportation costs
have been lowered $27O,O00,000. Movie
fans and others who attend the theatres
have ben granted relief to the extent of
$20O00,O00 in admission taxes, and
those who frequent the soda water foun-
tains have had the cost of their bever-
ages reduced $26,OOO,OOO. Complete
financial relief for everybody cannot be
compressed within the limits of a single
piece of legislation, but the new in.
ternal revenue law is tremendous steI
in that direction.

,r,.+bv Master Jacob H. Rosa of Mil

.o State Grange, Patrons of Hus-
,,ndrv at the opening session of the
~aDop here today. 'It is but an en-
s.ring wedge or loophole for further IL
onor purposes" he said, speaking of the
VII Yai+otiop to try to legalize the sale of
beer.
Mr. Rosa -poke on various topics of
notiopal arh State Importance to the
sanoors, Speaking on education he re-
3,rrod to the new school law and said
~ believed that agriculture and music
.horH have a place in the high schools,
wan As manual training and .physi-
orlturr He said the new school
law has failed in its purpose.
Soaking ON legislation, Mr.. Rosa ad-
,i.o1 tbe Changers that they had plenty
# time now to prepare any legislation
= boneft to the Grange, as the next ses-
,;oo Of the State Legislature will not be
held until 1923.
Mr. Rosa, in stating the position of
himself and the Grange on temperance,
.oJ 1T is more than clear that we
must stir ourselves and help in every
uov possihle to enforce the Volstead
act. We should declare ourselves abso-
Iutely opposed to the sale of beer and
rcbt wines as a medicine, for that is but
an entering wedge or loophole for fur
ther liquor purposes"
Education was one of Mr.. Rosa's top
ics and he referred to it in this man.
| ner:
I'VE have finished one year under our
new school law which it was hoped
would please all, but like the much dis.
liked School Code has failed in its pur-
nse, We believe agriculture and music
should have a place in the high school

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
THE PROPHETS

THE PROPHETS
The wise old prophets Of the ring
now figure in the daily news and
they explain, like everything. why
Carp will win or why he'll lose.l
These seventh sons of seventh sons
are always here to guide us right
whenever pugilistic ones are sched-
uled for a drastic fight. The mantle
of Elijah falls upon the wise men
of the ring, and every dead game
sport recalls that prophet-eering has
its sting. For IL the prophets all
unite to say that Jack will win the
scrap, and Jack is beaten in the fight
how shall each prophet save his
map? The prophets told me. years
ago, that Willard had q lead pipe
cinch, and after seven rounds or so.
poor Jack would be 100 dead to
pinch. And so I wagered all my
means according to the prophets
rede, and when the winners got their
beans my bank account was gone
to seed. The prophets said, in days
Of old, that Corbett was the prince
of blows, and he would knock Fitz-
simmons cold, among Nevada's
ghastly SHOWS. And so. to bet on
Jim's success, I put my watch and
COW in soak; conceive my subse-
ouent dirtress-I never was so badly
broke. I shall not bet on Jack or
Carp, no matter what the prophets
say; while they predict I'll tune my
harp, and spring a mad and merry
lay.

TAFT FOR CHIEF JUSTICE

President Harding's announcement that he
has chosen former President Taft to be chief
Justice of the United States Supreme Court and
the prompt confirmation of the appointment by
the senate comes as no surprise to the country.
Mr.. Taft's name has been uppermost in every
ones thoughts ever since the vacancy on the
supreme court bench occurred. While several
other eminent lawyers have been mentioned,
net one has come up to the availability Of Will
lam Howard Taft.
That the appointment gives a great deal Of
satisfaction everywhere is evident from the fav-
orable comment heard on all sides and in the
press of the country. The President has not
acted hastily in the matter. He has apparently
given careful consideration to the appointment,
as he should, because of the importance OF the
position. That he has been able to find no one
who measured up to Mr.. Taft in all around
qualifications is not surprising. The only really
big man mentioned in connection with the chief
justiceship besides Mr.. Taft was Charles e.
Hughes and he is so essential to the country In
his present position as secretary Of state in the
Presidents cabinet that he, in a sense, might
be considered not available.
The supreme court has been greatly strength
ened by the appointment Of Mr.. Taft. President
Harding has acted wisely and for the best in
terest of the country. The President is more
and more showing himself to be a good Judge
If men. His administration bids fair to be a
decided success because Of his ability to thus
select the right persons for the places that he
has to I'LL.
