Both Congress ana the officials
of the Executive Departments are
endeavoring to find every possible
means Of curtailing public expendi-
lures in order to pave the way for re-
duced taxation, and with hope OF sue,
cess, but 1t has been long understood
by men familiar with public affairs
that many fixed and unavoidable OBJ
legations OF the government are not
susceptible of immediate reduction.
This was foreseen when the Repub-
lican platform of 1920 was drafted
at Chicago. That platform specificly
stated that no Immediate reduction
Of taxes could be promised for the
reason that the previous administra-
ton had conducted the public bust
ness in such a wasteful and extrava-
CANT manner and had incurred in
debtedness in such. degree as to make
immediate relief out Of the question.
The Republican party dealt frankly
with the voters. Neither by direct
assertion nor inference did it prom
burdens On the contrary 1t gave
clear and unmistakable warning that
no immediate relief could be expect
ed. This being true, the Republi-
cans cannot be charged with bad
faith IL there be no diminition of
taxation at the present session OF
Congress.
but even If the Republicans, had
! promised reduction of taxes, what
reason would there be for the people
Of the country at tse election Of 1922
to return to q Democratic admins
tration? 1t was a Democratic ad-
ministration that brought about the
conditions of which the people now
complain. This does not mean that
the Democratic administration was
responsible for the war the reason
able expenses of which the people
would bear without complaint. Bat
It does mean that the Democratic ad-
ministration conducted the. war In
such wastefu1 manner and by such
extravagant methods az to pile up an
indebtedness far beyond any ~justifi'
cation. Not even the Democratic
press will have the hardihood to
deny that under the Democratic ad'
ministration there was an orgy OF
extravaganza from which the tag
payers will suffer for decades tc
came.
"The political retirement OF the
Republican party would mean the re-
storation Of the Democratic party
practically all of whose leaders were
either active participants in the viii
son administration or were Its sup
porters. However. much the people
may be displeased with Republican
failure to reduce taxes now. II fail
ure there shall be, they will be still
more displeased with the Democratic
party which made that reduction diff

thing just at this time. Neverthe-
less, : the people are intelligent
enough to understand hat the pres
ent members OF Congress are not re-
sponsible for conditions which make
immediate reduction of taxes practi-
cally impossible. II the country is
to make a choice between the candi-
dates of a party which does not re-
duce taxes Immediately and the can
didates of a party which made that
reduction impossible they will un-
doubleday choose the former.

the people for reduction OF taxation

pERFEcTs NEW INVENTION

w. G Sheets, of this city, has just
recently perfected straw stacking
device that promises to be God
send to all farmers who raise small
grain. The device is used TO stack
straw, and every farmer who ever
did a Job of threshirg knows how
difficult it is to get someone to
stack. In fact most farmers have
given up the idea Of stacking straw,
entirely, and simply pile ii up as ii
falls from the blower, in any old
way. In that manner a great deal
Of the straw is wasted, and always
makes an unsightly mess. With the
device Mr. Sheets has invented the
straw can be stacked neatly and ev-
cry bit of it preserved. This makes
quite saving to the farmer.
Mr.. Sheets is getting ready to
place his invention on the market.
No less than thousand farmers
have seen and inspected the small
model he has built. Everyone has
pronounced it grand success. In
asmuch as the invention is inexpen-
siye. We doubt II few farmers viii
be without one as soon as the fin
ished product has been placed on
the market
Mr.. Sheets for many years ran a
threshing outfit and knows that his
Invention is something that will fill
a long-felt want. He gave the mat
ter serious consideration and has
impro~ his invention from tiI1e to
time, until now he has is perfected
and protected by patent rights. The
Republican hopes he will meet with
unbounded success.

Iowa. Man Returns Home

After spending more than thirty
years an educator and relief work
er in the near east and founding a
college with American educational
methods--then banished by the
Turks for his Armenian sympathies-
DR.. George White Of Grinnell, re-
turned to his native state Tuesday to
plead the cause of relief for the
famine stricken countries of the eau
casus.
DR.. White arrived in Des Moines
last night direct from the near east.
The Turks have closed his college
and forbidden him and his family to
Turks took this action, the Iowa ed
ucator says, because he tried to help
Armenian refugees who We're being
prosecuted and murdered, by the
Turkish government.
"The refugee situation in the
Near East is one of unimaginable
horror" DIR. White said. 1.-THE
streets and parks in the cities are
full of these homeless people, driven
from one place to another by the
Turks The Americans are the only
ones who are providing any help.
Their food kitchens and orphanages
are struggling bravely to meet the
situation, but never have enough
food to go around Our Iowa corn,
shipped by the farmers of the state,
has saved thousands of lives. Ev-
cry cent that we send through the
Near East Relief and every bushel of
corn which the farmers donate is
actually saving people from starva-
ton"
DR.. White added that conditions
will be even worse this coming win
ter and that America must rush
further relief as soon as possible.

STATE UNIVERSITY TEAM WINS
Student Body Lay Plans for Mon
ster Celebration to Honor
Gridiron Team,

Iowa's undisputed claim to the
championship of the Big Ten and of
the entire middle west closed the
most successful season of football
ever played by the Hawkeyes. The
Old Gold squad now is awaiting de-
cision of the authorities as to wheth-
er or not the team will play Cal
ifornia at the Tournament of Roses
provided Iowa is formally invited to
come west. Feelers from Pasadena
already have been received, asking
whether Iowa would come If form
al invitation was extended, but the
Hawlsayes are entirely dependent on
the attitude of the Big Ten, which
would have to be consulted If the
Old Gold were to be asked to play at
Pasadena.
The stirring finish of the confer
ence race in which the Hawkeyes
won from Northwestern IA TO O.
while Illinois defeated Ohio and Chi
cago upset Wisconsin provided just
the climax necessary to award Iowa
premier honors with no chance of
anyone else putting finger in the
pie. Even the unlikely possibility
of a game between Iowa and Ohio is
out of the question.
Iowa's squad came through the
season in wonderful physical condi-
ton, thanks to the work of DR.. Wal
ter Fiesler, who succeeded to the po-
sition formerly held by Jack Watson.
Iowa played Notre Dame, Northwest
ern, and Illinois with but a single
Other teams remarked
throughout the season on the fine
physical condition of the Hawkeye
eleven. Twelve or thirteen men did
practically all the playing in the big
games.
The captain of next years squad
will be chosen Dec. IA when the en-
tire Varsity and freshman football
squads will be banqueted at the an
nual dinner in their homer given by
the board in control of athletics.
