Review. The editorial follows:
Before a community starts to
worry for fear the publisher of the
local paper is making too much
money, 1t Is well to know the facts.
Few lines of endeavor have been so
severely hit by changing industrial
conditions as have the small news
papers. 1t is abundant testimony that
there were 123 fewer weekly publica-
lions in this state in 1919 than In 1915.
Only recently has definite effort
been made to study costs on country
newspapers. This study shows that
few publishers have been getting even
cost for the advertising space and
printed matter they have sold. Like
the farmer. they have been producing
their commodities largely with the un-
paid labor of themselves and the
members of their families. and with
out taking into consideration such
items of expense as depreciation, in

For the sake of the community,

there be attracted to them men of

circulation, can sell its advertising
space at less than 20 cents an inch
and be prosperous. A committee from
the National Editorial Association has
worked this out after careful study.
The local newspaper of about 5000
circulation must charge approximate
ly SIS cents an inch.

WIVES AS

II a bill introduced in the Kansas
legislature goes through, husbands

in the homes, and the latter would
be entitled to wages, to recover dam

Every married man and woman in
Winnemucca realizes that marriage
is not always easily dissolved and
that sometimes the feminine, some
times the masculine, members of the
team gets the worst Of It," For that
reason they are interested in the pro-
posed law. They know that, legally,

METAPHORICALLY
HANGING THEMSELVES

Legislators who vote to increase
taxes on falling wage and produce
market will be metaphorically hung.
There is going to be record kept
by the taxpayers who have to borrow
and some mortgage their homes the
next two years to pay taxes.
The people are tired of the contin-
ual tax-boosting program and are fed
up on mere campaign promises of
economy and then passing the buck,
There is not good reason or shadow
OF an excuse for increasing expendi-
lures at this time.
Taxation is the ghost that is stalk
ing behind every industry. There seems
to be no limit to the demands that
are. being made. Scores Of politicians
in both state and national government
would represent citizens who talk
economy in public affairs as only fit
to be classed with undesirables.
Yet the Ford Motor Co., which is
considered one of the most indepen-
dent concerns in the nation financial
ly, is forced to borrow s44.500, 900
with which to pay taxes during 1921
for 1920.
Great railroad and transportation
companies and public utilities will be
forced into the red to meet their tax
bills. War profits have ceased but
war taxes and war overhead in gov
eminent affairs continue.
In some western political subdivi-
sions, including Nevada and Alaska,
population and valuations have de-
creased but war taxes double and
treble In states like Oregon, Wash
ington and California population has
increased about Is per cent in ten
years and farm values 10 per cent.
but taxation has gone up 600 per cent
in the same period.
While individual members of the
legislature and state governments
cannot be held individually RESPONSE
BILE for the increasing taxation, or
proposing large bond issues at special
elections, politically their records can
be spread before the people and their
responsibility determined.
People who are direct taxpayers are
realizing more and more that taxation
is passed on to them eventually and
these join with the actual property
owners in protesting further taxation.

The Italian Popular Party and the

of their economic policies in the new
Giolitti bill, which has been proposed
for parliament With other elements,
ranging from the most conservative
employers to the. most radical social
lists, the Popular Party is expected to
oppose the measure, which calls for
giving workingmen a share in the

which falls short Of the ideal of the
Popular Party and the white union"
which is the securing of the work
mems participation in the manage

of mere workmen's supervision of man.

The Giolitti bill, which would apply
to all industrial concerns except those
operated by the state, those that have
been operating less than four years
and those employing less than sixty

Recently the Catholic Union of
Great Britain wrote an intemperate
letter to Cardinal Mercier, finding fault
with the message of sympathy with
ireland sent by the Belgian Bishops,
and also making reflections on the
Irish Bishops. The Catholic Fedora
tion of Stafford repudiated the action
of the Catholic Union, asserting that it
was not representative of Catholics in
Great Britain and had no right what
ever to speak for them. In thanking
the Bishop of Stafford, Cardinal
Logue writes: 1T is not the first time
this body (The Catholic Unien) has
taken upon itself to assail the action
Of the Irish Bishops, nor the first time
the Catholic Federation of Stafford has
taken it to task. The only time one
ever hears OF this Catholic Union is
when they have any job of this kind to
carry out. / hope Cardinal Mercier
has treated their unwarranted attack

PLEADS FOR workers.
CARDINAL DUBOIS APPEAL FOR
THE WORKING CLASS. '
eBy N. c. W, G. News service).

Ny 49, ~ w ~ ANOW - oOA NAAOt'
In Cardinal Dubois. the new Arch
bishop of Paris. working men, and es-
.peeially those in distress, have found
a true friend. His sympathy just now
finds subject of expression in the
workers who lately have been disem-
ployed through the slackening of in.
dustry. Many of these mems families
are in the poorest circumstances.
In his recent pastoral letter, Cardi.
nal Dubois took OCCASION to voice his
sympathy with all the various organ
izations for social relief, particularly
those which have assisted the unem-
ployed.
Il am well aware said His Emf
nence, "of the economic conditions
which are disturbing modern society,
and from the bottom Of my heart I
welcome every effort tending to the
welfare of the working people. In the
face of such suffering as can easily be
seen and cannot be questioned, I beg
that our diocesans realize the great
duty of evangelical charity that falls
to them, and every endeavor towards
it's fulfillment may in advance count
on my best encouragement, on my as
sistance and my blessing"
