GREATER LOVE.
BY Wilfred Owen.

Red lips are not so red
As the stained kissed by the Eng
iisn dead.
Kindness OF wooed and wooer
Seems shame to their love pure,
o love. your eyes lose lure
when / behold eyes blinded in my
stead.
Your slender attitude
Trembles not exquisite like limbs
knife-skewed,
Rolling and rolling there
Whore God seems not TO care;
Till the fierce love they bear
Cramps them In deaths extreme de-
crepitude.
Your voice sings not so soft
Tho even as wind murmuring
through raftered loft
Your dear voice is not dear.
Gentle, and evening clear,
AS theirs whom none now hear
Now earth has stopt their piteous
mouths that coughed.
Heart. you were never hot.
Nor large. nor full like hearts made
great with shot:
and tho your hand be pale.
faier are all which trail
-FOUR cross through flame and hail;
weep. YOU may weep, for you may
touch thom not.

GERMANY CAN PAY.

March has been an important month
In many particulars and indications on
every hand are that prosperity is re-
turning rapidly. But there is one ele-
meut of influence on American trade
as well as on the trade OF all other
countries which has had and is having
a depressing effect. That Is the ques-
tion as to whether or not Germany can
pay the indemnity demanded by the al
lies.
Stephane Iauzanne, editor OF lie
Matin, Paris. believes Germany can
pay if she will and he urges that the
allies force the Huns to meet the de-
mands made upon them. In America
sentiment is strong for settlement
but America does not believe that Ger
many should be permitted to escape
payment for the sins which she COM
mitted against the world.
In his statement as to how he be-
lieves Germany can pay, NJ. Lausanne
says in the North American Review:
If we examine the German bud
get for 1920-1921, just as it was
presented at the assembly of the
Reich by the minister of finances,
DR.. Wirth, what do we see? We
see that the budget contains very
high military expenditures for the
army aud navy,-namely: for the
ordinary budget 1 billion S74 mil
lion marks; for the extraordinary
budget billions $50 million marks,
or total of 4 billions, S24 million
marks. And this does not include
the COO million marks specially in
tended for the famous Sicherheits-
polizei.
We'll, for a ruined country, for
country pretending to be imporv-
: erished, IL seems to us that those
are very heavy expenses. 4 bill
lions 1924 million marks is a heavy
sum. And since Germany Is spend
ing IL, she must certainly posses
IT, Could we not then say to her:
please, spend a little less, and
think a little more of your credi- ~
tors. Instead of devoting billions
and a half in preparing another
war, devote to it only l billion, and
pay the other 8 billions and half
TO the victims Of the last war you
made.

SHOULD THE PUBLIC REGULATE
RENTS2

In many cities rents have risen so
greatly that public. regulation of rents
is not only being discussed but steps
are actually being taken to place city
real estate in the category of public
utility subject to the control Of a rate
regulating body. For example the city
of Los Angeles recently passed an ord
nance limiting annual rents to IL per
cent gross on the cost of the land and
building. New York state has a new
law controlling rentals and the Illi-
nois legislature is considering a bill of
similar nature.
The United States supreme court will
doubtless declare void any law that
limits rents to a fixed per cent upon
the cost of land, for the 14th amend
ment prohibits the confiscation of
property value. Moreover, what is the
cost of land?
If it is it's Original cost" then it is
nothing. If it is the price paid by the
last purchaser, it can change in the
time that it takes to sign a deed.
Henry George advocated the confis-
cation of all land values by the gov
eminent, his device for effecting the
confiscation being a tax equal to the
of public control of land rentals stop
of so extreme a measure, and in doing
so show less knowledge of economic
principles than even Henry George
showed. They would base land rentals
upon cost, but they fail to show how
the cost of land can be regulated.
AS for the rental of buildings alone,
it would not be difficult to base a
rental upon the cost of the building, for
the original cost would be estimated
closely even where no record of the
cost exists. But here we confront an
economic difficulty of another sort. A
building erected in 1920 has cost twice
as much as building of the same size
and type erected in 1914. Shall the
tenants of the 1920 building be required
to pay twice as much rental as the
tenants of the 1914 building? That is
what the cost theory would lead TO.
Consequently nearly all tenants would
seek the older buildings. Who would

NORTH CAROLINA AFTER HOTEL
Avn

North Carolina has a hotel law be-
fore the legislature and members be-
lieve it will be passed. The law pro-
vides: A scale not to exceed so per
cent over the regular room rate when
occupied by two or more persons; that
beds or cots placed in halls, sample
rooms, Hobbies or other places than
regular bed rooms shall not exceed rs
per cent of a regular room price; that

man budget, are quite extraordi-
nary figures. They are those Of
the expenditure incurred for the
fees of the officials of the Reich.
Tbase officials have increased in
the most preposterous proportions,
whereas the Reich has decreased
interpolation and in surface. In
1914, before the war, there were
ing the Imperial administrations
$500 employees; today there are
$4,000. And these figures do not
include the industrial explorations
of the. state, such as posts and
railroads. If we examine these ex-
ploitations we note the same prodi-
gious initiation in them.
I'm 1914, the post and telegraph
services employed 10000 en-
ployees: today they number 100000.
Well, for a ruined country, sup
posed TO be up against bankruptcy,
this seems to be a great excess of
officials and expenditures. Could
one not ask Germany: 'Why, since
you are so poor, do you maintain
so many officials? Why, since
you complain of having so few
railroad cars. have you so many
railroad men? Why, since you
speak of bankruptcy, do you not
try to economize?-
America will agree with M. Lauzann'
and despite Hun propaganda now be
ing spread in America concernfn:
French claims against the UNITED
States for debts which were left un
paid hundred years ago, the Ameri
can people sill continue to insist tina
the Huns pay their war debt.
AS to the propaganda which Hun
poison artists are spreading it seems
IS if by this time the American
public ought to realize that Germany
almost won the war by her propa
yanda and spy systems and shoulC
therefore be on guard against falls,
and malicious tales spread by thes,

PRESS COMMENT
Her Beauty Goinu Fast

There is a Miami woman who Is try
ing desperately hard to be beautiful.
She goes to the beauty specialists with
an eagerness that would be laughable,
if also it were not so pathetic. The
aging lines of her neck, the sagging
face muscles, the dulling eyes seem to
nspeak more, of her anxiety for the re-
tention of her beauty than for the
years that are crowding her out of the
youthful beauty class. She thinks Of
nothing, we believe, but of her own
looks and of proper care" of herself.
But she is not only losing her girl
hood beauty, she is going to make
mighty ugly old woman. AS the bloom
Of youth departs, it is leaving none of
the rich beauty of autumn leaves-be-
cause, you see. there has been nothing
better than beauty specialists to take
care or her skin and the shape of her
mouth and the depth of her eyes.
She doesn't know that there is no
beautifier of complexion, or form, or
behavior, like the wish to scatter joy
and not pain around u.s." If all these
years she had been too busy making
other folks happy to think about her
own beauty, she would be rarely lovely
now, for she did have a pretty face to
start with.-Miami Metropolis.

The smith-Towner Educational Bill

Opposition TO the smith IOWner
educational bill, now before congress,
apparently coming from quarters
where the real intent Of the proposed
law is misunderstood. Here is a meas
ure which is designed to do two big
things: put an end to illiteracy and
teach American ideals of life and gov
eminent. The strongest objections have
been those which have been raised
against the cost, but what are a few
millions against the education of the
illitcrates and the stimulating of high
err American ideals?
Briefly, the bill creates a national
department Of education, with a cab
met head, under which the present
educational work of the government
would be co-ordinated and enlarged.
The sum 6f hundred millions a year
is set aside to be appropriated among
the different states on the dollar-f for
dollar basis, and used by them for ex-
tending their present school systems.
Provision would be made, where state
constitutions allowed, for minimum
school terms and for compulsory edu-
cation-not necessarily in the public
schools, but in some school. There
would also be money for the improv-
ing of present teachers and for the
making of more and better teachers in
the future; and there would be plans
for instructions in sanitation and the
rules of health.
The bill further provides-and the
directors to this provision have not
come out in the open-that English
shall be the basic language used in
all schools. This does not mean that
German or French or Italian may not
be taught, but 1t does mean that
American boys and girls shall be
taught the language in which Amer
lean ideals may be best explained.
No effort is made to exercise federal
control of state systems. To the con-
trary, it is eXpressly. stated that there
shall be no interference with state
policies or methods-and assurance
that should remove any objection from
the surviving champions of state
rights.
The passage of this bill viii prove
to be a wonderful thing for education
in this country. 1t will do in a year
what we will not, as individual states
acting separately, do in ten or twenty
years, and it viii do quickly a lot of
things Of the greatest Importance
which many states will not get
around to for a generation or two

GOOD TEACHERS
NowsAvAILABLE

Ely Times: George whiteley, dep
uty superintendent of public instruc-
ton, reports that teachers for all
schools in his district have either
been secured or are obtainable on
short notice. For some time past he
has been carrying on an active CORES
pondence with view to securing cap
able teachers for the, schools under
his Jurisdiction. and he expresses him.
self as being gratified with results
obtained.
Mr.. Whiteley says that 1t has been
very difficult matter to obtain COM
petent teachers during the past few
years but states that this condition
has been greatly relieved lately. He
attributes the more favorable condi-
tion in this respect to the fact that
teachers are being paid better salar-
les than for many years past, and be-
lieyes that the change will have a
strong tendency to raise the standard
of our schools and result in a decided
saving in the long run.

NEW IRRIGATION WELLS
FOR DIAMOND VALLEY

Frank T. Torpey, who with others
have filed on approximately $4,000
acres of land in Diamond Valley un-
der the Pittman Act, says that drill
lining for water on these lands will
commence as soon as F. w. Ahlers
completes a well that he is now
drilling for the Eureka Land & Live
Stock Company in Fish Greek Valley,
Should the first wells on the Dia-
mond Valley tract prove that suffici-
ent water for irrigation purposes can
be secured at q reasonable depth, ten
or more wells will be drilled at other
points as rapidly as they can be put
down. In the event that the first
wells show that water is not avail
able for profitable pumping. deeper
well will be bored in an effort to Sc
cure an artesian flow. Another car
load of inch casing has been shipped
from San Francisco, one having ar
rived several weeks ago.
The parties pushing this enterprise
are also connected with the Eureka
Uncle Sam Mining Co., which came
into the Eureka district eighteen
months ago. and has, by steady, eco
nomical business methods succeeded
in making a valuable mine out of a
prospect. Torpey further states:
my associates and myself are very
enthusiastic over the prospects of sue
cess in this venture. Should we sue
ceed in developing water from un-
derground sources that can be profit
ably used for irrigation purposes,
there Is every reason to believe that
Diamond Valley, within the next few
years, will be settled with hundreds
of ranchers. There is no more fertile
land anywhere. ALI it needs is water
and good attention. l believe our
success in this pioneer work will
meln more for the prosperity and ad-
vaEcement of Eureka County and the
STATE of Nevada than any other one
thing. 1t will eventually be the
means of bringing a branch of one of

HEAVY FIRE LOSS
AT CARSON SCHOOL

Carson City suffered fire loss late
Sunday night at the big public school
building, the upper portion OF the
structure being destroyed, but the
lower floor was saved after a long
and successful battle by the firemen.
The Carson water supply was rein
forced by the Virginia & Gold Hill
Water Co., the water being turned
into the State reservoir and thus
helped furnish water for five streams
that were used with decisive effect.
The fire was discovered by the ". &
T. Railway night watchman and the
loss is probably close to $4,000.
There was insurance of $4,000 in
the Nevada Fire Insurance Company,
the full amount being paid by the
company within Is hours after the
fire. The cause of the fire is believed
to have been either from defective
wiring or from the chemical labora-
tory. Temporary quarters have been
secured for the school sessions OF
both the high and grade scholars.
