DePalma Made Fast Time

No cry of "hard luck" can be rails
ed over the failure of Ralph De Palma
to finish the ninth international
sweepstakes run over the Indianapo-
lis speedway on memorial day. The
popular driver had a choice of making
a pace at the average for the track
so as to save his car and try for the
$4,000 first prize; or, secure in know
ledge that he had the fastest car
on the track, go after the $4,000 lap
prizes. He decided upon the latter
course, and sent his Ballot around the
brick oval at an unheard Of average
speed of 1856 miles per hour at the
end Of 225 miles. He earned $10.65O
in lap prizes-equiyalent to second
prize before his a went out on the
28Oth mile because of a broken crank
shaft.

COMPRISING and shipping of the stuff.
The season of ~192O-1921 has been a
big exception to the general rule, Cot
ton has moved slowly owing to the
fact that unsatisfactory prices last
fall caused thousands Of producers to
Store their cotton and await a better
market. The better market never
came. In fact, the staple declined rap
idly and positively refused to take an
upward plunge, the result being that
many who had refused twenty-five,
cents and even better were forced by
the stress Of circumstances to sells
at little more than half that figure,
representing a big loss to the producer.
Cotton has been dribbling in spas

Delegates Couldn't See His

PARISHES PAYING IT
WILL GET ONE THIRD
Subdivisions, However, Are
Limited to Collecting Two
Hundred Thousand

The principle of a severance tax has
been written infe the new constitution
and unless changed by a repeating
amendment or by some future consti-
tutional conveN ion viii remain as
such as long as the state has any nat
ural resources from which the tax
will be collected.
Governor Parker strenuously oppoj
ed any increase in the tax or any
change in the ~so-called "gantlemen's
agreement" entered into last year By
the governor, representing the state.
and this owners, operators, ETC., of oil
wells, gas wells, sulphur mines, saw
mills, salt mines, etc.
The huge tax, estimated to be ap-
proximately two and one half million
to three million dollars, is collected
only from certain parishes in the.
.state-mainly from the nothern part
of the state where there are a mum
Der of extensive oil fields and several
large gas fields. These parishes set
up a cry that a portion of that tax be
paid into their home treasures for
the purpose of meeting the cost OF
parish government. The governor
fought this change in the AGREEMENT
and even went 50 far as to appear Re
fore the convention and deliTef h n
self of a speech setting forth his
views. The convention listened at
tentively and respectfully to every
thing the governor had to say, and
then voted directly opposite to his
well known views on the subject
matter.
Under the ordinance written in the
constitution by the convention, the
parishes where the tax is collected
viii receive one-third of the total
amount paid, but not to exceed two

TRADE IN KOSHER MEATS OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE

Few people not directly engaged in
the business of handling fresh meats
in some of the larger cities have
any adequate idea Of the relative i'm
portance of the kosher meat trade
in such centers. 1t might be explain
ed briefly that Kosher" is a Hebrew
word meaning clean or, more precise
ly, ceremonially clean according to
Jewish law. The opposite of kosher is
"tref," meaning unclean
During 1920 there were slaughtered
in greater New York, in round num-
bers, 4SS,O00 cattle, $4,000 calves and
1,290,40O sheep and lambs. OF these
approximately SO per cent of the cat
tie, 80 per cent of the calves, and
10 per cent. of the sheep and lambs
were slaughtered and dressed in ac-
cordance with the Hebrew regulations
and were thereby transformed into
kosher meats. If in connection with
the above there is taken into account
the fact that between SO and SIS per
cent of the meat consumed in New
York City is slaughtered locally the
Importance of kosher meats becomes
apparent.

WHERE THE TAX DOLLAR GOES


Herbert D. Brown, chief of the U
S. Bureau of Efficiency, has calcu-
lated the governmental expenditure
of taxes in terms of the individual
dollar, based on appropriations for the
fiscal year 1921:
Sixty-eight cents goes for past wars
as expenditures for pensions, interest
on the public debt, and Federal con-
troll of railroads expenses.
Twenty cents is spent on the Army
and Navy.
Twelve cents is spent for the salar
les Of the President, the Vice Presi-
dent, Members of Congress, Justice
of the Supreme Court, and all other
Federal office holders, for harbor i'm
provements, roads, education, and the
peacetime activities of the Govern
ment in general.
This shows that were it not for
past wars and preparation for wars
our Federal taxes would not be much
more than one-eighth of what they
are at the present time.

WHAT NORTH DAKOTA DISCOVER.

State ownership Of "big business, y
based on State credit, as exemplified
in the Nonpartisan Leagues North
Dakota experiment, is on the rocks.
Conceived in the brain Of Socialist
adventurer in 1915, the Nonpartisan
League was born in 1916; it gained
control of the State Government Of
North Dakota in 1919 and enacted G.
program of State ownership of certain
industries; in 1920 the voters began
to desert it's ranks; early this year
came the crisis. The story is brief but
instructive. 1t is the old story of pro-
noting by means of public credit busi-
ness enterprises which are too un-
sound to attract private capital.
The Nonpartisan League as a poll
tical entity may continue to function.
North Dakota has had her experience,
and whether she is to continue the
leagues experiment in any OF its
phases is a matter of grave doubt.
When the legislature adjourned on
March 5, amid scenes of bitterness,
disorder, and even fist flghtlng, the
outcome was uncertain. The house was
anti-league; the Senate proleague.
No appropriation was made for the
maintenance of the State bank, and
this will greatly curtail its operations.
1t has now entered upon a private
banking business. The State mill and
elevator project is at standstill un-
less State bonds can be marketed to
finance it. An appropriation Of $lO,
900 a year was made for the State
home builders project, but this is in
adequate. Reports from the scene are
that the leagues audit of the flour
mill at Drake showed a loss for last
year of more than $17,O00.-The Ma
tons Business.

No hurtful results follow. 1t is not
like other bad habits. He has some
excuse for it. It produces no rosy
blush upon any of his features, and no
chronic habit results except the work
ing of the jaws, and that probably is
a blessing, for while We are working
that way we are not working them
some other way to the detriment of
our neighbors. So out of that SEEM
ingly humble thing, matter of
criticism here, has come great in
dustry. 1t is a safety valve for the
nervous and a minor activity to us all
when under strain.-The Nation S

WAYE OF CRIME

There seems to be wave OF crime
sweeping over this country at this
time, and in som any instances those
implicated in the crimes are mere
boys. Officers seem to be puzzled
to know how to check this wave ol
crime. 1t occurs to us that in some
instances the fault lies in the home
where boys are allowed to do as they
please. Then, too, in mnay instances
we believe the father is responsible
for the misconduct of his boys. The
following lines taken from Tuesdays
Lime o Type or Two" of the Chicago
Tribune contain some good-sound sug-
gestions to fathers, and we give them
to our readers:
A Heartfelt Wish
I wish I could be Father, and Father
could be me,
Because I'd like to show him how
fathers ought to be.
I'd bring him toys and candy, bout
every other day,
And never be too busy to join him
in his play.
I'd answer all his questions so he
could understand;
Not hide behind paper and wave
"Go-'way" hand!
I'd take him to the movies most every
pleasant night,
And never say, "It's bedtime" while
yet the day was light.
1 wouldn't change my father for any
other man.
l know he loves me dearly, and does
the best he can,
And yet 1 can't help thinking how
great would be my Joy
If he'd remember sometimes to be
once more boy.
