lists that q high tariff may bring in
greatly increased returns. The max
imum ever raised under the Payne
Aldrich measure was about $330,000.-
600. This would be trivial when COM
pared with governmental needs at
present. There have been various fis-
cal suggestions, some of which are ex-
perimental. and others which have
been tried with disappointing results.
An official of the income tax de-
partment is quoted as saying that
1,25o employees OF the department dur
ing 1920 left their employment. which
paid them at the rate of $4,000 per
annum. to become expert advisers OH
how not to pay taxes. and are earning
from $4,000 to 100000 per annura
now.
The one effective way in which tn
relieve the people from the inf1ictions
of the present tax situation, from the
burdens of excess income taxes, from
the destructive driving of capital into
tax-exempt securities and away from
where it will be used in business, ap-
pears to be the enat tmcnt of a law
placing a tax on safes. The plan is
gaining great favor ali over the coun-
try. Will congress heed the call?

FRIENns.

Fk1ENDS.
These friends o. mine, count them Ger
To find the things / love them for.
Here's one who brings me merry smiles
And memories of the by-gone whites,
The old glad days of long ago
When youths delights were ours to know
We shared the very self-same joys
In that departed land of boys,
Studied the sef-same books and knew
The orchards where the apples grew
No gold could change, no time could dim
The 'ustre of my love for him.
Are needfui to these friends claim,
Sometimes in joy, sometimes In tears;
When sorrow at my door was laid,
And he came softly to my room.
And In the silence and the gloom,
Sat with me thru those hours of care,
Seeking to soften my despair.
Shall | exchange for greater men
The friend leaned upon back then?
run my list of friendships thru,
And though the number is but few.
/ find my life is woven so
With memories of the long ago
And kindly hands stretched out to me,
That wheresoeer I turn, I see,
The smiling face OF one who's stood
To help and cheer me when he could.
I have not loved these friends of mine
For faftupe's gold or pemp'e design
Or stations brilliant display
Thank God cur friends aren't made thai

NO CONTRACT LET
No Decision Reached About
New Filtration Plant.
Over 100000 Variation in Bids
Submitted.

The contract for general eonstruc-
ton of the city water filtration plant
had not been awarded at o'clock to-
day, after the city commission and en-
gineers in charge of the construction
had been in conference almost con-
tinuously since wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock. The commissioners ana
engineers worked Wednesday night
and into the early hours this morninS
over the bids submitted by many con-
tractors.
Much Variation i'm Bids.
Variation in the bids submitted is
surprising, it was pointed out by VIII
bur A. Stanfieid. There is differ
ence of $141. 3s0.sS between the high
est and lowest bids submitted on the
made by the Unit Construction COM
pany of St Louis, is $2a1, 5a7.s3. The
highest bid is $3.50, 1SS.75. The engf-
neer's estimate on the general contract
is $2S2,8s3, 1t is probable that the
contract will go to the Unit Censtrue-
ton company. but it may be many
hours before a decision is reached.
Representatives of the various con-
tracing firms interested IN the bidding
are lining the hall outside the COM
mission room.
Several contracts for equipment to
be used in the plant were let this
| morning. The centrifugal pump for
| the plant will be furnished by the Mid
west Engine company OF IAansdS Nlty
at cost of s2,655. Cast iron pipe
| necessary was contracted for from the
United States Cast Iron & Foundry
compe ny of Chicago. to cost $22,74s-
The filter equipment contract was
given the Roberts Filter company of
Darby, Pa. to cost $23,s70. The Pitts
| burgh-Des Moines Street Construction
company was awarded the tank and
| tower contract at $3.50.
Decision Is Delayed.
| The question OF whether the bidder
shall furnish the building material for
the work. particularly the stone or
| brick, whichever may be chosen. or
| whether the material shall be pur-
chased by the commission or contract
! ing engineers is delaying the decision.
Hargreaves & Company, local brick
! dealers, are estimating on the cost OF
brick and urging the commission to
+ decide upon brick construction. j.
Churchill Sargent. of the Sargent Cut
Stone company, of Topeka, gave an
estimate on the cost of stone needed.
Il The total amount of the engineers
estimate for the filtration plant con-
tract. including everything necessary,
is $425,203.

Dorothy Dix Talks
They Also Paw.
by DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Wri


When we hear of a middle-aged
woman being cast aside by her hus-
band for some pretty little flapper.
young enough to be his daughter, our
sympathy all goes to the deserted wife.
We shed tears of pity as we think
of the poor woman with her house of
life in ruins about her. We think
with compassion of the long years of
service she has given to man who
rewards her labor with black ingrati-
btude; of the love that she lavished on
him, and that he scorned; of all her
dreams that are broken thru. We
think very often about how poor and
homeless she will be, because the man
| who has no sense of his moral obliga-
tons to the woman to whom he is
married, generally has no sense of
financial obligation to her either. and
we have all seen old wives turned out
like old horses to starve, while men
indulge their new wives in all sorts
of luxuries.
We have pictured the husbands of
these forlorn old women. as happy,
and gay. and carefree. We have
thought of them as reveling in the
beauty of their young wives, and
dancing and frolicking around with
them, and baskingiin a second spring
time of youth and romance. with
never a backward thought toward the
old life, and the old wife, except to
be glad that they were left behind.
1t has not seemed fair that the
woman who had given the best CT her
| life to a man, and whose only fault
was that she had grown old and home
| ly, should have to suffer so while he
| went scot free. 1t shook our faith in
the eternal justice that rules the
world. and that, in the end. makes the
| dancer pay the piper.
1t appears, however, that trading
old wives for new is as disastrous a
| bargain for the man as it is for the
| woman, and as a general thing brings
him as little happiness. A man who
| has done this thing said to me the
/ other day:
| 1T have never known a man who
| deserted a faithful old wife for q
young woman, who ever got any hap
piness out of it. I have never known
one who did not regret 1t, and who
would not have given everything he
| had on earth to blot out his wrong
doing. and be back once more in his
old home, and with his old wife, and
| his old associations. I know of what
| L speak, because I committed this
| crime, and am punished for it every
| day of my life, and I want you to tell
my story because perhaps it may be a
warning to another man.
| when I was a young chap, I mar
ried the girl I wanted, and she proved
to be a splendid wife; 8. good, help
ful companion in every way. We
| worked together and prospered, and
the fact that I am a rich man toda,
is largely owing to her. We raised a
family of which we were entitled tc
be proud, and were respected ano
liked in our community"

hallowed folds a new inspiration of
respect and love that shall sink deep
in our hearts. for the flag that stands
for more human Ideals and the real
things that all mankind pursue than
does any other flag on this globe"

new PORTRAIT ADDED
Picture of r. L. Cofran Added to
Mayors Gallery

In these days of city election activity
it is appropriate that a new portrait
be hung in the gallery of Topeka
mayors in the city hall A new one
is being hung today. Not a portrait
of a newly elected mayor. however,
but of an ex-mayor. that of r. L.
Cofran. The distinction of serving as
mayor four times belongs to Cofran.
He was last mayor from 1913-15 and
prior to that time had served three
terms. 1t is necessary for his portrait
to appear twice in the gallery to make
the succession of mayorafty incum-
bents complete
