Study the
Sales Tax

THE new tax program has been
completed and will be enact
- ed. 1t is as bad as the old
law, in all essentials.
The tariff taxes are laid so that
they will give the maximum of
monopoly and the minimum of rev.
enue, for the most part.
The internal revenue taxes are
laid SO that they will give the max
imum of encouragement to invest
ment in active business and the min
imum of revenue from fortunes that
ought to be sources Of revenue.
1t is bad bill and time will soon
prove it.
The majority of the men who pre-
pared this bad bill and the major
ity Of the men who will vote for it
believe that there should be sales
tax to replace some of the vicious
and hurtful taxes in the bill. But
they are politicians first and brave
men afterward. So they haven't
the courage Of their own convic-
tons.
1t is only few months until the
taxes must again be revised. In the
meantime we urge you folks who
read this paper to make an earnest
study Of the sales tax and Of all
taxes.
Study and inform yourselves and
you will all be for the sales tax
when you are through studying it.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-08-20
The March
I Of EUents
rEN or fifteen years from now
Germany will be the most

trading nation in Europe.
That will be the result Of military
defeat and forced abandonment of
huge ornaments.
Fifty-odd years ago France at
tackled Germany with no other ex-
cuse than that France had huge
military establishment and wanted
to use it. To their own and the
worlds surprise the French werc
thoroughly whipped. Then Ger
many levied a great punitive in
demnity, took back Alsace-Lor-
raine, which France had originally
taken from Germany, and started
on double course Of economic and
military expansion. The military
expansion excited the jealousy and
fear of Russia, France and Eng
land, and the result was the war
which so nearly wrecked Europe
and did wreck Germany.
That was the result Of German
military victory and spoils in a per-
fectly just war some fifty years ago.
So here we have the apparent
paradox that victory brought Ger
many to final disaster and defeat is
leading her to splendid prosperity.
The same apparent paradox is at
work in France and in England and
in Russia-and the plain deduction
is that if England and France de-
sire to prosper they should aban-
don their militarism and navalism
and let the rest Of the nations drop
their war preparations and devote
their money and energies to the
constructive activities of peace.
As long as nations VIGOROUSLY
predatory continue to keep on foot
such huge armies as France and
Japan maintain and such increasing
naval ornaments as England and
Japan maintain, there is nothing
for the rest of the world to do but
to keep up defensive naval and
military preparedness at any cost.
And in the meantime Germany,
compelled to disarm, will steadily
grow richer than her conquerors.
The military and naval establish
ment maintained by France cost
her more annually than the indem-
nifty payment Germany must make
to France and the other Allies put
together. France is in no danger
from any source, and the excuse for
her military establishment is that
it must be kept to insure payment
by Germany. >
That is to say, the French policy
is to pay more for an army Of col
lectors than the whole bill comes to.
1t does not take very bright
mind to see that that is very poor
business, and then to go further
and perceive why it is that defeat
ed Germany is already really better
off than victorious France, and will,
in few years, be enormously rich
er and more prosperous.
The Paris Press is much wrought
up by the announcement that Eng
fish will be the language used at
the Washington conference. The
Temps, for example, says:
"The disgrace would be CON-
plete and the disaster ire
parable. To such an arrange
ment our Government must not
subscribe under any pretext."
Why a conference held in the Cap
ital of the United States should
carry on its proceedings in the
French instead of in the American
language an American cannot under
stand. But the point Of view is
quite characteristic Of the Paris
press, which is accustomed to as
sumo that the whole world re-

Are We Getting Better NolD?
<ED ENVER Bank Clerk Missing
with Cash. Teller Disap-
pears with $4,000 and
Girl Employe Goes with Him. Wife
Is Left Behind"
So run the headlines Of a news
paper story in this month of
August, Ammo Domini, 1921. 1t is
one of the oldest of stories. The
man is not always a bank clerk and
does not always come from Denver.
The first man who tried it was
probably keeper of the stores or
shepherd or a scribe or some such
primitive thing in ancient Baby
lonia or Assyria or some other
country the very name of which
was already forgotten thirty GEN.
turtles ago.
In Greece, in Rome, in ancient
Gaul, in medieval Europe, in all
places and at all times, men have
stolen and disappeared, taking a
girl with them and leaving a wife
behind.
Since the practice began the
world has seen the rise of Christian
ity, of Judaism, of Mohammedanism,
of Confucianism and Of many other
religions. 1t has had held before it's
eyes the philosophy, the precepts
and the admonitions of lofty think
ers, of wise and sincere men. And
still men continue to steal and run
off with girl and leave a wife
behind.
OF course, one may look at it all
from either pessimistic or an Opt
mistic standpoint. One may be dis
couraged that it happens at all or
be grateful that it is growing less
frequent. The unfortunate part of
it is that we have no statistics to
guide us.
The ghost of the ancient Baby
lonian who stole a flock of goats
and ran off with the kings hand
maiden, leaving his wife in the
lurch, might, in extenuation, say:
Il had no hooks, no newspapers,
no Bible. I thought the earth was
flat and that the sun revolved
around it. believed in evil spirits
and / knew nothing about a here
after"
But the Denver bank clerk had
books and newspapers and a Bible.
And he had at his disposal the tele-
phone, the telegraph, the wireless,
the automobile, radium, trim.

Hurley Loses to Ashland.

Hurley's high school basket ball
team may be likened unto the
Splinter who, after weeks of pre-
paration for a race, sets up a stiff
pace in the first lap or two and in
SO doing uses up his energy so that
he is unable to keep pace with his
competitors in the fight for the
finish.
After holding their own against
a strong aggregation in the first
half of the game with Ashland last
Saturday evening the local high
school quintet could not stand the
pace and in the second half were
compelled to see their opponents
make basket after basket and pull
down victory. Not that the
Hurley boys did not put up a good
fight in the second half of the game.
They did, but due to the fast clip
at which they Travelled in the first
half the second half found them
without stamina to continue the
pace. Each side registered 9 points
in the first half, while iii the second
half the visitors netted II more and
held Hurley down.
The curtain raiser between the
girls teams from the two high
schools went to Ashland by the
score of IS to IS.
The local boys lined up as
follows: Bennett, right forward
Sullivan, left forward, Sybeldon,
center, Trowbridge, right guard,
Bertotti, left guard.
The Hurley team will go to
Minocqua today for a return game
with the high school team there
this evening.

The county board Of supervisors

which the board adjourned until

The board accepted the contract

his term. Anincreasein the amount

Another Attempt to Arrest Grove and
His Assistants Frustrated.

The persistent efforts of Iron
county authorities to bring Leo. ]
Grove, chief prohibition agent for
the upper peninsula of Michigan,
and two of his assistants, into court
to stand trial on the charge of
murder in connection with the
shooting of John NJ Chiapusio on
the night of October 9, were again
frustrated this week when Judge
Lands at Lacrosse denied Sheriff
John Morris the right to serve
warrants on the men while in at,
tendance at federal court.
Learning that Leo, J.Grove and
Agents Dowd and Knourek would
appear in federal court at Lacrosse
as witnesses District Attorney
Warren B. Foster instructed Sheriff
Morris to go to Lacrosse and serve
the warrants for their arrest, issued
after the coroner's jury into the
death of Chiapusio had returned
verdict charging Grove and his
assistants with murder. Judge
Lands informed Sheriff Morris
that the warrants could not be
served, since the men were in the
jurisdiction Of the United States
court as witnesses and state auth
critics had no right to interfere
with them. He added that the
jurisdiction obtained until the
witnesses had returned to their
homes.
The first attempt to bring Grove
and his assistants into court failed
when at hearing at Lansing
several weeks ago Gov. Sleeper
refused to grant extradition papers.

compensation for this part of the
sheriff duties.
The matter of an agricultural
agent for Iron county came up and
was discussed. However, the board
is powerless to do anything about
securing an agent as long as the
present law providing for but fifty
agents in the state is in force APP
plication for an agent has been
made and Iron county has been
placed on the waiting list, but as
there are several other counties III
the state waiting to be assigned an
agricultural agent it cray be some
time before one can be secured for
this county. However, it is pro-
bable that the legislature will rene
dy the matter by changing the law
or providing some other means for
overcoming the obstacle at the
present session.

Want War Time Wages.

Great Britain is on the verge of a
new struggle between capital and
labor. Initial skirmishing already is
under way over the question of re-
ducing wages. Labor is attempting
to maintain high war time wages.
Capital is contending that start
mast be made toward pre-war wages
on the ground that prices are falling
and Great Britain will not be able to
compete commercially with other
countries where wages are lower.
