1t was expected that the emergency
tariff could be passed in week. 1t
took congress two and half months
to put it thru, altho it is but tenn
porarv measure. How long. then, will
it take to pass the permanent tariff
bill which it is promised will be re-
ported about June L? The solution
of the problem would be unimportant
except for the fact that tax legislation
it is said must wait on tariff action.

The dispatches announce that the
Central Leather company has passed
its quarterly dividend. This is but
one of many similar instances. Hold
ers of stocks in business enterprises
who have been dependent upon in
come on their investments for a living
have Jared worse in a business way
than almost any other class of citizens
as a result of the war. While they
were receiving dividends the purchas-
ing power of their dollars was greatly
reduced, and the government took a
large part of their income in the form
of taxes The fact that their dollars
have grown more valuable recently
will be of no benefit if the supply be
cut off as in the, case of the leather
company. Persons who are said to
live on their money run into hard
times Just like any other class. These
facts are responsible largely for the
reluctance of investors to put money
into industrial enterprises, even at the
high rate of return promised. They
prefer government and municipal
bonds, the interest upon which is GER
tain, with no taxes to pay.

Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

! Are You a Booster or Knocker?-2.
There is nothing stranger than that
wemen haveNso little understanding of
the effect that the home atmosphere
has on a man. They appear to regard
that as negligible and to have no APP
probation of the fact that it is the
most important factor in determining
his success or failure in life.
Most women desire to help their
husbands, but their idea of doing this
| is by saving dimes here and there, or
Wishing they could earn a few dollars
/ themselves. Thrift and good man
agement in the household, are, indeed.
! first aids to prosperity to any family
but the real way, the big way, that any
woman can help her husband, is by
| bolstering up his courage in himself
and by making for him peaceful and
happy home.
No man can do any more than he
| thinks he can do. That is his ultimate
measure of success, and if his wife is
! a perpetual discourager, fshe reduces
his limit of achievement by just so
much. Nobody knows just what
| schemes will succeed until they aEe
tried out Nobody can tell beforehand
! what dreams will come true but we all
know that those who never venture
anything never have anything. And
right here is where women make or
mar. For one woman holsters up her
| husband with her courage and nerve
! to try his wings, and the other wet
blankets every aspiration and ambi-
ton until he gives up, and sinks into
the rut of mediocrity-
! OF course, there isn't a woman in
the world who doesn't see her hus-
bands faults and weaknesses< but if
she is wise she doesn't consti-
| tue herself a critic on the hearth.
He gets plenty of knocks in
the outside world without hav-
| ing to come home to an expert
| hammer wieIder. Rather is it her
place to spread the salve over the sore
places where the skin has been
knocked off his vanity, and restore
his belief in himself.
We were told during the war that If
we wanted our troops to win battles
we must keep up their morale. That
goes for everyday life as well as for
war. The man who succeeds must
| have his morale kept up. And the
job of doing that is his wife's job.
The woman who wants her husband
to succeed, must make him a happy
| home. The man who can drop all his
troubles at his front door and pass
! into a place where his body is well
fed and comforte1, where his nerves
are soothed, and he has fresh hope
and courage breathed into him, goes
| forth nex- day like a giant refreshed
| But the man who has a home thai
is a perpetual storm center, whose
evening is spent in pickering, and his
nights in listening to curtain lectures
goes to his work next day physically
unstrung and mentally untitled to cope
with business problems. Nor does he
put up much of a fight, for before you
fight for wife and a home. you have
got to have wife and home worth
fighting for.
So, if you want your husbands t.

It is of no advantage to the worker
in any industry to have costs main
tanned upon a level which prevents the
sale of his products. Somebody must
attempt a restoration of the conditions
under which an exchange of products
is possible. The compensation OF
workers in the various branches OF in
dustry-which means their purchasing
power-must be brought back to
equilibrium. In this the workers
themselves can aid greatly by joining
in the general reimbursement Of prices
that is under way.

is ADJUDGED INSANE.
Dave Gregg Was in Habit of Calling
Roll of House on Streets.

Dave Gregg, local attorney, former
reading clerk of the house of repre-
sentatives and for four years assistant
city attorney, was adjudged insane in
the probate court Tuesday afternoon.
Gregg was recently arrested on a
charge of vagrancy and of stealing
electric light bulbs from the court
house. He was acquitted in police
court, however. A state warrant was
then sworn out charging him with
stealing several bulbs from the city
electric light plant. This case was
pending.
Testimony by Frank B. Brown, pub
Usher of the Kansas Trades Unionist,
that Gregg was in the habit of calling
the roll of the house on the street
corners, apparently clinched the in
sanity charge against the lawyer.

The railroad managers say they can
not "see their way clear to ask the
interstate commerce commission for
freight rate reductions" despite pro-
posed wage cuts, because they are not

counting on obtaining sufficient bust
