Soothing Mr.. Hearst.

my objection is that England usually wants
US to do something to her advantage and against
our own advantage" said William Randolph
Hearst on visit to London.
The very next day he was invited to luncheon
by David Lloyd George British prime minister
"A result of the late war is that England has
better estimate of the power and importance
Of the United States than she ever had before
and England has apparently come this close to
America that she is anxious to employ Americas
power for, her world schemes" the New York
publisher declared in an interview twenty-four
hourse before he and Mrs. Hearst dined with
the premier and few Of his personal friends.
Why did Lloyd George choose to cultivate
his critic with luncheon invitation? Things
are not managed on so broad scale here at
home. An Englishman with a record Of hostility
to America matching Mr.. Hearst's hatred of
British policy would scarcely find welcome At
the White House or at the home OF our secre-
tary Of state. The American public itself would
not countenance such uncalled for hospitality.
However, here's hoping that Mr. Hearst's
jngoism toward England has been cooled by his
social success, and that he may even be invited
to sit down to mess of victuals with the king.
Then, if President Obregon Of Mexico and the
mikado Of Japan will feed him we'll, the Ameri-
can people can rest from war scares for time.

Taxes Here and Elsewhere.

Those who are interested in taxes-and who
is not-will notice from the census reports that
Nebraska's burden is not dissimilar from that of
other states. The dilemma of high taxes is not
confined to any one state but seems to have been
brought about by general condition.
The Department of Commerce statement
shows that the per capita cost of state govern
ment in Nebraska for 1920 was $l083. There
is little difference between this and the census
estimate for Iowa Of $10.39. 1t is great deal
less than in Wyoming, where the average cost
per person reached $24.37, but more than Okla
homa's per capita of $7.44. 1t is interesting to
note, however, that Oklahoma collected about the
same average revenue as Nebraska, its receipts
amounting to $l0.53 per capita, not all of which
was spent.
There is nowhere in the civilized world for
people to go to avoid taxation. By the exercise of
restraint and efficiency they may be reduced. It
does not seem to be matter of what party is in
office, whether taxes go up or down. No mere
wave of an oratorical wand can accomplish a
saving to the people.

Amundsen's Latest Quest.

Roal Amundsen has sailed again to attempt
the feat of drifting with the ice across the top
of the world. Plenty Of evidence exists to
prove that arctic currents will carry him over the
course if his ship holds out. Just what he will
discover is beyond conjecture; it may be vast
bleak emptiness. it may be new land What
ever it is the rugged explorer goes with an ad-
vantage none OF his predecessors had. His ves-
sci is equipped with radio service Of sufficient
power to keep him in touch with the world all
the time Had this means of communication
been in practical use few years ago, the trag-
edy of Robert Falcon Scott and his gallant com.
panions might have been averted. At any rate,
Amundsen could have communicated with his
rival at the South pole, and juncture might
have been formed which would have been Of ad-
vantage to both. Stefansson's long immersion
in the silence of the northland probably heigh.

evidence of the sound condition OF agriculture
is found in the statement OF another great public
agency, the Federal Land bank of Omaha, that
less than $1,000 is ninety days past due on the
millions it has lent to the farmers.
In the last year great progress has been made
toward orderly marketing Of farm products. The
War Finance corporation has worked loyalty with
the farmers to this end The fact that they are now
able to borrow from their local banks is ascrb-

Safe Thrift.

The erroneous notion that only farmers were
the victims Of blue sky promoters persists IN
spite of disclosures at trial after trial of these
commercial bandits that they preyed on people
of all classes, in the cities and i'll the rural Sec
tions. 1t is quite the usual thing to find pile Of
worthless securities in the estate of a deceased
millionaire. Lawyers, doctors, school teachers
and wage earncrs, men and women bit easily
and numerously on the bait OF rich profits.
In book advising stock statesmen how to
promote certain speculative enterprise is found
the statement that ministers are easy marks.
Doubtless their general inexperience in business
affairs, together with the desire to supplement
their often inadequate salaries. did lay them open
to deception. Hence the reason for new plan
drawn up by board of the Methodist church to
protect clergymen from get-rich quick projects
by affordng an opportunity for sound investment.
I'm preparing this plan" Rev. Joseph B..
Hingeley OF Chicago told protestant conference
recently, I'VE aim to insure the clergy against
poverty in old age. We based the accumulations
on interest compounded semi-annually at per
cent on money paid during the minister's active
years, on which when retired he would receive
a fixed income for life. The actuarial computa-
ton shows that if he should begin payments of
81 week when rs years of age and continue
such payments until he was IS, his accumulations
at the usual rates would yield dollar day for
the remainder of his life
This is slow. but not by comparison with the
result of plunging in fake enterprises To save
thus requires patience and earnest purpose, but
il is sure Establishment of such sound means
of thrift for small investors is doing more to dis
courage blue sky schemes than any law could do.

Tariff and Othe. Problems.

For several generations the United State!
Of America has been the greatest consuming
country in the world. Its people are better
led, better clothed and better housed than those
OF any other land. They use up more OF the
world products per capita than any other peo-
pie.
Within the last thirty years the United
States has risen to be the greatest producing
country in the world. Its farms and factories
turn out more OF the things humanity needs
than come from any other one country. The
nations resources are not yet fully developed
nor its productive capacity realized.
1t is natural and reasonable that home wants
and needs should be satisfied with home pro-
ducts. The great bulk, almost two-thirds, OF
the total imports of the country consist Of
sugar and coffee. In order that the home mar
ket may be preserved for the home producer,
protective tariff was levied by the republican
congress many years ago, and has been held to
as fundamental policy of the party. Under
it manufacturing has developed until the United
States has attained front rank in that as we'll
as in food production.
If our markets are opened to free entry Of
all the manufacturers of the world, home pro-
with foreign made goods, which are offered at
prices far below the cost of manufacture in the
United States. To sell his wares cheaper, the
manufacturer must buy cheaper; that reduces
the prices all the way around. With lower
prices come lower wages, reduced buying power,
and the American standard of living is lowered
to the foreign level. which is admittedly below
that OF the United States.
Discussion of old age pensions includes con-
sideration OF wages; is the standard to be liv-
ing wage, or saving wage? Are the workers
to be kept at the living limit or to be given
some chance to accumulate for themselves?
Is the chief purpose of our civilization to
produce wealth, or is it to promote human hap
piness?
These problems are closely knit together, so
as to be nseparable. Tho tariff includes both
wages and wealth. Its consideration is not
academic, but fundamentally vital, because no
single phase of our national life can stand
alone. We all go up or down together, to
prosperity or adversely. As these questions
are answered will come happiness or unhappiness
to our nation.

Farm land in Iowa pays about three-hfths Of
the taxes Of the state. The average per capita
tax amounts to $4336, or $2l6.80 for family
of FIVE. Figures at hand show the per capita tax
in Nebraska for 1920 to have beeen $40.40, and
it is probable that the report for last year will
make at least as good showing for Nebraska as
for its sister state.
