FRIDAY, JANUARY Z, 1921

Judging from the tone of some regularly con-
tributed articles to the Milwaukee Journal the
great need of the present and future is a renewed
forestry program with Villas county the main base
of operations. Knowing the pronounced forestry
tendencies of the Journal it would be possible for
the letters to be deliberate plan to arouse for
estry sentiment just as short while back both
war and anti-war propaganda was spread through
the medium of the metropolitan press Il bona
fde subscribers or readers are so suddenly be-
coming converted to the idea that this part of the
state must be turned back to the time of Evan
gene and the forest primeval, then Senator
Moran and Assemblyman Mark will have some
thing to do down at Madison this winter to keep
Villas county from the fate desired by forestry
advocates Fad ideas make rapid Roadway at
times and the forestry fad has had very careful
nursing for the past year in anticipation Of this
legislative session and the people of Villas county
may discover that it has been disastrous ses-
sion for them.

IN HE sales-tax proposal Will not
have any chance in this Con-
gress. Half the members do
not even know what it is all about,
and the rest are afraid Of their po-
litical lives being snuffed out.
Unhappily, the working people be-
Ilieve the demagogues and igno-
lramuses who tell. them that the sales
tax is a device to shift the load OF
taxation from the shoulders OF the
rich to the backs of the poor. The
sales-tax would do nothing of the
! kind, of course. But as long as
enough workers can be made to be-
lieve that it would, there isn't a
chance for the sales-tax.
The workers not only pay now all
they would pay under the sales-tax,
but they also pay a succession OF
profits levied upon the original tax
with each transaction from the first
sale of the goods until they reach
the ultimate buyer who gets the
goods from the retailer.
The sales-tax would cut out this
succession of private additions to
public taxation, and the workers
would find that the necessities of
life would be cheaper-sales-tax and
All-than they now are with the con-
cealed tax at the source and all its
subsequent private profit additions,
The poor would buy more with
their money and the rich would get
less profit out of the distribution and
exchange of goods.
In every sense of the word, the
sales-tax is the friend of the workers

that, what's the use of arguingi

THE British have very precari-
GUS hold in Mesopotamia and
are apt to withdraw from that
region, but at the same time the
French are losing their hold on Syria,
and the British are strengthening
their influence in that far more i'm
portant territory.
With their usual diplomatic skill
the British have concerted an under
standing with the Emir Feisal, an
able leader and revered by all Mo
hammedans as a direct descendant
of the Prophet. When Feisal and
his Arabians drive the French out
the British will appear on the scene
with concessions, capital to be in
vested and all the familiar financial
and commercial beginnings which
invariably lead up to control and
final absorption into the Empire.
1t is indeed wonderful how these
innocent, bluff, frank, guiieless Eng
lish statesmen "muddle through
the wiles and tricks prepared for
them by wicked and diabolically
clever German, Russian, French and
Italian diplomatists.
They never plot, they never plan
to steal, they never covet-it must
be so because they admit it-but
somehow or other they always go

What Shall
Ladies Year.?
THE budding metropolis of
Somers Point, which is close to


Somers Point, which is close to
Atlantic City, is agitated over
the costumes of women bathers.
Shall women be permitted to wear
one-piece suits and go bare-legged-
or not?
The pastor of the Protestant
Methodist Church suggests that the
question be left to the women to de-
eide. This seems a proper and in
telligent solution. The generosity of
the pastor, however, is suspicious.
He probably expects that feminine
referendum would result adversely
to bare legs and the one-piece.
Would he approve if the ladies voted
for bare legs and a, three-quarter-
piece suiti At what point would he
suggest that the matter be taken
out of the ladies' handsi
Furthermore, who should be the
voters' The bathers themselves, or
the elderly ladies of Somers Point,
who could go bare-legged or wear
half-piece bathing suit without
causing single male to bat an eye'
Why not confne the referendum to
those ladies who measure up to some
physical standard-say the Venus di
Milo, for exampleR The world would
would then know that the decision
was fair.
Commodore Tanguy, a retired
Philadelphia manufacturer, offers a
different solution. He is willing to
be censor of the bathing costumes
without pay. He is seventy years
old, but can see without the aid OF
glasses. He is said to be liberal in
his views.
All we have to say about the
Commodore is that man of seventy,
who does not need glasses, ought to
be liberal in his views. AS for serv-
ing without pay-bab! He ought to
pay for the privilege of serving his
country. Men have paid $40 for a

Exalted Dada

A MISSIONARY has just brought
~ to this country four children
of the Bushmen tribe of Africa.
This tribe, according to the mission
ary, wear no clothes and have an
exalted opinion of white men, whom
they cali Dada" They called the
missionary "Big Dada"
1t is a pity that the whole tribe
did not come over Any group of
people that has an exalted opinion
of white men deserves free sight
seeing trip around the world.
Of course they would miss the
greatest show that the white man
ever staged-the spectacle Of five
hundred million Dadas at war with
one another. But they would be in
time to see one hundred and five
million Dadas still in a state of war
even after the war is over.
They would also be in time to see
two exalted white men slug each
other with a million Dadas breath
lessly awaiting the outcome. And
they could watch the developments
of Dada Stillman's s exalted affairs,
become acquainted with Dada Sims
and the Dada reformers and many
other Dadas who are contributing to
the exaltation of the white man.
1t would be a great educational
trip for them. When they got back
to Africa they might, perhaps, have
an exalted opinion of Bushmen.
