Soviet Russia is not such a grand
and glorious country after all-not
even for the socialistic seditionists
who have been deported there to meet
their "dear brothers and sisters" "
Cable dispatches say that upon their
arrival at the Russian border the So
cialistic dcportecs were deprived of
their money, given ration cards and
taken to a camp to work under bolshe-
vik slave drivers. In this country they
talked of the glorious bolshevik "gov-
ernment" and now that government
is demonstrating to them what a snap
they have in their fatherland. Since
March-9 over 80 deportees from Amer
lea have been executed by the bolshe-
visits, who charged them with being
anarchists. Ye gods! .>.... -.

Our consul at Chcrbourg, Franco,
has discovered a plot by which intend
ed emigrants to: the United States,
largely Greeks, have been furnished
with spurious passports by a well-or-

has thus far been nipped in the bud.
No one, however, knows how many
anarchists and other undesirables
slipped into the United States through
laxity of officials in the immigration
bureau during the Wilson administra.
tion. Not to say that Mr.. Wilson was
responsible, but the government was
unfortunate in having officials in the
bureau who were crooked. At least
some of them were discharged for &C.

THE TONNAGE TAX.

Irrespective of the merits of the
iron ore occupational tax measure
passed by the legislature, we believe
Governor Preus did the right thing
when he signed the bill.
Last May the republican party
adopted a plank favoring a tonnage
tax. Mr.. Preus stated that he, as the
nominee of the party, if elected gov
crnor, would feel under obligation to
sign any fair and equitable tonnage
tax bill that the legislature might
pass. The members of the legisla-
ture, after struggling approximately
three months with this problem, passed
the measure providing for a six per
cent tax on the occupation of mining
iron ore. Probably no member of
either the house or senate was satisfied
with this measure and many who vot-
ed for it were personally opposed to
it. The legislators yielded to the de-
mands of their constituents who were
clamoring for tonnage tax. One Of
the chief objections to this measure
was the occupational phrase but that
word occupation was inserted on the
advice of Attorney General Hilton
who stated that the bill without that
phrase would be liable to be declared
unconstitutional.
The legislature, yielding to the
clamoring public, undoubtedly did the
best it could with a most difficult
proposition and passed the bill on to
the governor. 1t is reported that Gov
ernor Preus strongly objects to GER
tain features of the bill but neverthe-
less he signed it. When the majority
Of the people in the state are so in
sistent on any question as they have
been on this tonnage tax, and when the
legislature has for the third time yield
ed to the demands Of the people and
passed a law providing for such tax,
it seems as though it is time for the
governor to sign it.

every likelihood that the government
will make formal demand upon Ger
many for Bcrgdoll. The American
legion and the majority of the gen

Stacker be turned over to American Of
ficials and brought to this country for
punishment. If, rs stated by Wash

ent reason why any delay should occur
