Out of Republican Wrang1;mg

~ HE Federal tax bill as finally enacted,
after months OF pickering and delay,
bears many mark of Republican in
sur sency and attests the weakness rather
than the strength of the partys titular lead
ership. Three distinct times since the meas
ure came before Congress the conformists
and the dissenters have clashed, and always
the latter have come off victorious. In
August last they tough. on the floor of the
House for retention of the excess profits tax
for 1921, against the recommendation of the
Ways Means committee. Later, in the
Senate, they fought to increase the maximum
rate of the surtax from thirty-two to fifty
per cent week ago, the wrangle having
shifted again to the House, that body, by
vote of two hundred and one to one hum
dred and seventy-three, instructed it's mem
bers of the conference committee to accept
the fifty per cent surtax rate, despite Presl-
dent Hardng's urgent, eleventh-hour appeal
for a compromise OIL forty per cent. Rarely
has an Administrator received at the hands
of it's own party more decided rebuff.
Aside from the dement's of the bill, which
are glaringly numerous, it is highly inter-
esting as evidence of Republican incohesion.
The party that promised a united and eff
fectual attack on after-the-war problems
turns out to be so sadly divided in its own
counsels that it can make but feeble sallies
and achieve halfway points of confusion in
lieu of statesmanly detectives. Thus the
doughty pledges of the 1920 campaign now
have 'about as much value as Soviet paper
rubles," in the telling phrase of the New
York World, which adds: Secretary Mel
lon had one plan based on the Treasury's re-
quirements, the House another and the Sen
ate a third and ut of the three has been
! created a fourth, in which neither the Ad-
ministration nor Congress expresses pride"
So matters stand in the ninth month OF
the Republican partys complete control and
complete responsibility. With the Executive
| Ic nY06 HTTfh
siye maiorities in both Legislative branches,
it fumbles and stalls and creeps. Can it be
that it's lack of results is owing to its lack
of convictions and ideas?

The Bison Comes Back t

~ FFORTS to prevent utter extinction OF
II the DISTINGUISHING bison by fostering
A~ a selected herd in Yellowstone Park,
have proved so effectual that now the keep
ers are wondering how the multiplied and
increasingly prolific beasts are to be fed.
Even within that vast area" the tldlngs
run, cit will be difficult to get sufficient food
for them when snow covers their grazing
pastures in winter Mayhap, kind-hearted
folk in the regions about will be appealed to
take i bison or so for the season Of peril,
until permanent accommodations can be pro-
vidad in other national preserves. Shame
it certainly would be to turn cold Shout
der to these ancient monarchs of the plains,
these royalty bewhskered believers who
just when they are hopefully retrieving the
inroads of a ruthless civilization.
The bison or, more natively 3peaking, the
buffalo was supposed to be so swiftly, so sad
ly on the way to the limbo of the eoh1ppus
and the woody OK that heart-wrung scriven-
ers were embalming him in ballad and ro-
nance. Alas and alack for the days of Kit
Carson! ESQ ran the, mournrul thence when,
as one chronicler averred, cit was well-nigh
impossible to fire a rifle on the Western
plains without hitting half dozen buffa-
loes." Alach and alas for the keen-spurred,
hard-riding, brave, brawny days of old when
the overland stage raced with yelping Red
Men and buffalo robes were as common as
bandana handkerchiefs
But now that extinction of the noble
species has been so happily averted and the
sturdy remnant is replenishfng the Yellow
stone country at a rate that dumfounds the
keepers, who knows but that bison may yet
spread east and west, north and south by
millions, to furnish food and raiment for
this more and more populous land, whence
the moo cow in time may vanish as did the
four-toed horse in vast ages gone?

BY DOROTHY DIX

| Do you go fifty-ffty with the world?
| Do you give back as much as you take
| from others, or do you expect other people to
do all of the giving and to be merely taker
| yourself?
You know the kind of people I mean.
| Good, kindly, intelligent people who would
| like to have friends and acquaintance, but
who can live in a community without having
more than nodding acquaintance with any
| body in it. Nobody likes them because no
! body knows them, and because they have
| stayed shut up in their shells like hermit
| crabs.
They have never tried to get acquainted
with the people about them. They have
| never done neighborly thing. They never
| said a word of sympathy to the man who
| worked at the next desk to their when his
! only child sickened and died. They never
| showed that they were glad when the man
above them went still higher. They never
helped some poor scared little beginner, and
| showed him or her how to do the work so
! as to hold down his or her job.
Yet these people bitterly resent their iso-
| lation, They want others to be friendly to
them, to weep with them in their sorrows
and rejoice with them over their good for
tune, and to lend them a helping hand in
time of need, and they can't understand why
they left alone.
81 just can't make the first advances to-
wards being friendly with people, they will
say.
Why not? What is there so wonderful
about any one of us that we should expect
our fellow creatures to seek us out and court
our favor? Are we so much better worth
knowing than our neighbors that people
should pass them by, and kowtow before us?
1 trow not. To expect others to make all
the advances in acquaintanceship is the quin-
tessence of self-conceit and it gets punished
as it deserves. Precious few take the trouble
| to drag the reclues from his cell, or to warm
up the human clam until he becomes fit for
human consumption. Most of us prefer peo-
| pie who as glad to know us as we are
! to know them, and who meet us half way.
/ There are too many good fellows in the
world to make it worth while to have to
haw out some little frozen barnacle and per-
suade him or her to come out of his or her
| shell, and play with us.
Are you a giver taker in your home
If you are man do you expect your wife to
meet you with CHEEKY smile on her face,
and good dinner and make everything
pleasant and agreeable for you, and do you
consider that you have done your part when
you pay the bills? DO you crouch around the
house and Dump all your nerves and temper
on your defenseless family, and make your
self about as pleasant a companion as a sore
headed bear would be?
Plenty of men do that. They consider that
making happy home is the wife's duty and
that they are not expected to contribute even
so much a pleasant word to the process.
They think that their wives should study
their moods an learn to be diplomatic and
handle them with gloves, and they never
dream that it is as much their business to get
along with their wives, and handle their feel
ings with kid gloves.
