Bishops more desirous and expectant
of saving the youth of America
from French wine than from new
war! But far more enlightening as
to the present impotence of the great
churches was the action of the Colo
rado Methodist Conference in voting
down, 5s to 46, resolution asking
amnesty for American wartime
political prisoners. According to the
story of the debate in the Rocky
Mountain News, the prevailing argu-
ments rested on the usual concep-
tions of the requirements of patriot
ism and regard for the righteousness
of the American judiciary. A church
which on such utterly secular grounds
can vote to keep that great apostle of
peace, Gene Debs, in Jail is equally
unfit to serve the cause of world
peace or to interpret the spirit of
Jesus Christ to the men of this day.

grant naturalization papers to eight
men in that county because they could
not censcientiously bear arms in de-
fense of the United States. This
aftermath of the war to end war
somewhat troubles the Witness. That
conception OF good Americanism
would have barred William Penn as
an undesirable alien, deported John
Woolman, and put William Lloyd
Garrison in Jail for life. By contrast
it is interesting to note that radical

former conscientious objector to
represent it in the British House of

tPayette, Idaho, Independent
Eta O'Bannon, nee Stamey, was
born in North Carolina, December IS,
1871, and died at Albany, Oregon,
Saturday, October 8, 1921, from can
Ger, after every effort had been made
to save her life.
She moved with her parents to
Missouri at five years of age, where
she grew to womanhood. November
8, 1890, she was united in marriage to
P. L. O'Bannon, To this union was
born four children, two of them pre-
ceding the mother to the great be-
yond. She leaves behind to mourn
her loss father in North Carolina,
three brothers and two sisters; hus-
band, dau ghter, Mrs. Gladys Coates,
and son, Ray O'Bannon. Mrs. O'Ban-
non had been afflicted for long time
with cancer. A special effort was
made to prolong her life by taking
her to California, but to no avail,
there being an end to human efforts
and endurance.
The funeral was held in Payette,
Tuesday, and interment at Riverside
cemetery. All sympathize with the
bereaved ones.

Chicago's police force has been ac-
cused of profitably winking at the

not in sympathy with the eighteenth

just where can sincere sympathy
with that amendment be found? Such
instances as the Joplin preacher who
turned bootlegger, or the Oklahoma
City police chief who resigned be-
cause of his confessed inability tc
compete with the booze vendors,
creep into the news because of their
jocular twist. But there is nothing
jocular in the spectacle of Judges
questioning jurors as to whether they
will convict in liquor cases, nor is
there anything humorous in the
vociferations from various official
quarters that prohibition must be en-.
forced s'because it is the law"
The United States, however, is not
alone in it's prohibition troubles. Nor

Democratic Constructive Tax Amend
ments.

The proposed Democratic amend
ments to the pending tax bill were
presented by Senator Simmons oi
North Corolina, in an enlightening
speech dealing with the repeal OF
modification of existing taxes and the
imposition of new taxes. The pro-
gram as stated by him is as follows:
To increase the corporate income
taxes, making the maximum range
from 1919 per cent to 25 per cent, in
stead OF fiat rate of 15 per cent,
estimated to raise from 500, 900, 900 to
$4,000, 900 additional revenue.
To retain the capital stock tax on
corporations, which it is proposed to
repeal, estimated to yield about $75,-
10000.
To repeal the $4,000 exemption on
corporate incomes.
To confine individual exemptions to
$4,000 in case of incomes.below $20,-
600 and above $4,000, estimated to
yield 100000.
To restore the surtax to a maximum
of 50 per cent on incomes in excess of
$5O0,O00, estimated to yield about
$4,000, 900.
Repeal of the transportation tax.
Senator Simmons declared that the
tax bill should not be made party or
a sectional question, but that it should
be bill fair in the distribution of the
tax burden; that would raise sufficient
revenue and contribute to the relief
Of business and industry.

Mortgages in Missouri.

The value of the 6S,7S4 Missouri
farms for which complete mortgage
reports were secured in 1920 was
$752, zoos, ,050, and the amount of the
mortage debt was s216 463, 1880, or 2S,S
per cent of the value. 1t is an inter-
esting coincidence that ten years ago
the per cent that the mortgages were
of the valuation totaled 2S9 per cent.
Tha average amount of mortgaged
debt per farm is $3,14s against $1,75S
in 1910. -.
The average rate of interest paid is
81 per cent On January l. 1920, 81
per cent of all farms operated by
their owners were mortgaged, as
compared with 46 per cent in 1910.

Dear Uncle Eli have been putting

few lines. We are both well and able
to eat what we can get. These good
Harding times don't set very well
with our Republican friends, but they
cried here last fall "we want q

wages have been cut on the farm
from 800 90 to $50 90 q month, but
the high costs of living here have
reduced but very little.

Colorado I was working for Re-
publican. He told me, "oh, the high
cost of living will come down; we
have the majority" But they haven't
done any thing yet that I canse only
villify what Wilson did. Think, after

Dear Mr.. Fitz-The past week ST.
Louis has been celebrating the an
niversaIy of Missouri with a great
many good fetes.
Monday night was the parade of
the different lodges, foreign countries
that are represented here, and the
one most interesting was the march
of all the soldiers. When the old
men Of the Civil and Spanish Ameri-
can war passed thought of you. I
couldn't keep from wishing you were
here to be with them. All were walk
ing with canes and one or two had
crutches. I just thought how great it
would be to have one marching
straight and could walk good like you
can. They seemed to be tired out
though, for they we're several minutes
behind the other men marching at
attention.
The buildings erected on twelfth
street showing the home of Chouteau,
the founder of St. Louis, the first
court house, the First Baptist church
and others were nice, and more in
teresting to those who had seen them.
But those old war Veterans sure
made my heart swell, for thought of
you and dear old Grandpa. But you

lspecial Correspondence.

Especial Correspondence.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The fiscal
policy of this administration is the
rock upon which the Republican party
is splitting in Congress and upon
which it will split throughout the ma
tion if the administration plans are
carried out.
The word ''policy" is used fgura-
lively, for the proposed procedure in
matters of taxation particularly, in
wolves no policy that includes either
the principles of finance or economics.
Scheme is the better word, for it
amounts solely to scheme to relieve
profiteering corporations of q just
tax and shift that burden uDjustly up
on the already overburdened small
taxpayer, including the smaller COR
porations.
This split among Republicans in the
Senate is so much in view that even
the Presidents Washington news
paper mouthpiece is compelled to
take note of it. After citing pro-
posed coalition between the Progress
sive Republicans and Democrats on
the tax bill and the alleged plan of
the Democrats to vote for sales tax
amendment and then vote against the
bill in company with Republicans op-
pos d to the sales tax, the Washing
ton Post says:
s'Either horn ofthe dilemma threat
ems disaster to the Republican party,
in whose ranks the split of discord is
daily growing wider. The present
situation at the Capital is disclosing
to public view fact which cannot
much longer be concealed, that the
Republican party to-day is not func-
tioning smoothly and efficiently be-
cause it is no longer thinking as a
unit. Its members are as far apart as
the poles on some of the greatest
questions underlying what is attempt
ed to be made into definite policy.
"The bonds which held its compo-
nent parts together during the cam
paign, when Republicans of all shades
Of opinion were actuated by a com
mon opposition to what became
known as Wisconsin are to-day fall
ing asunder. The serious feature of
the situation from the party's point
of view is not that the party is not
working harmoniously, but that the
fundamental differences between Re-
publicans are to-day as great, il not
actually greater, than they were in
1927
And then, as Tito show the helpful
and constructive efforts of the Demo-
Gratis in behalf of honest taxation, the
Post adds:
"The Democrats have seized this
opportunity to propose to the Pro-
gressive Republicans certain definite
amendments which might be written
into the pending tax bill to make it
more acceptable to both"
All of this, mind you, comes from a
newspaper, accepted as the admini-
stration organ at the Capital, which
faithfully chronicles the activities of
the administration. political and social,
including the marvellous feats OF Bud
get Commissioner Dawes and his in
visible Savings" the goings out and
comings in of the valiant Brigadier
General Sawyer, the diversions of
Laddie Boy and the bull pup, with
the editorial page literally spread
over with the lemon meringue of
adulation.
However, the Post is to be compli-
mented upon the accuracy of It's
vision and the boldness to point out
"a fact which cannot much longer be
concealed"

When we forsook the hand tools of
