Every revolution of the soldier DO
nus wheel appears to bring the sales
tax nearer. Nothing can equal it as
an equitable and sure revenue raiser.
But the proposal to exempt the farm
ers from its operation, and make the
manufacturers pay double is cheap
politics. Does anybody believe that
the manufacturer would fail to collect
from the farming industry its proper
tionate share of the tax? It. viii be
recalled that IN the previous session
or congress Senator Smoot said, re-
garding the sales tax, "If not this
year, then next" Next year is here
and the senator is entering the fight
with his forces considerably augment
cd. It is becoming apparent that a
bonus bill can pass only if accom-
panied by tax that win not disturb
business. The sales tax is that kind.

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY e. HOUSE
tFrom Philadelphia Public Ledger)

Columbia university has been an
alyzing Babe Ruth. 1t finds he is 80
per cent efficient, compared with an
average of so per cent. His eyes are
IL and his ears 10 per cent faster.
But, curiously enough, the university
folk submitted no analysis of the quail
ity in which a random public is most
deeply interested.
What the public wants to know Is
the Babes" specific content of ivory.
1t is inconceivable that it could be as
grea as the ball players say it is.
We Did Our Utmost to Do So.
Sir-If it be true (and, of course, 1t
is or you would not say ito that Fort
Worth put Billy Sunday out of bust
ness, don't you think you ought to
devote one paragraph in the column
about Fort Worth z. 3. S.
Our intention was to pay Fort
Worth the highest compliment within
our power. If we failed, it was due
to the limitations of a capacity for
complimentary speech and not to any
lack or enthusiasm for the task.
In Which the Column Is Surveyed.
Sir-Having due regard for the feel
ings Of the intelligentsia, if were you,
should not fear that the barbed
shafts of your column were aimed
over the heads of the boys in the Good
fLuck Garage. Like as not they never
heard of you. and if they did, per-
chance they think you are some kind
of dwelling for birds.
OF thirty five coed folks who were
casually met along the highways and
byWays of life, there were fifteen who
read your column-four lawyers, four
housewives, one business man, one Of
flee boy, one furniture salesman, one
tlpT M sI1sa 1nr
one ATTRACTIVE Voung woman and one
real estate man; twelve to whom its
fame had spread, but who do not read
the column, either from choice or lack
of opportunity, including one equally
attractive young woman, one banker,
one dentist, two railroad men, one
shirt manufacturer, two housewives,
one lawyer, one minister. one account
ant and one stenographer.
OF eight who never heard of it, or,
no doubt. would class you among Or
nithic equipment, are one servant, one
garbage collector, one iceman, one ga
rage man, one schoolboy, one coal
operator, one basketball player. and
one elevator man. So aim hiSher and
trust your darts to find their marks.

The business interests of the coun-

OF the soldier bonus. They fear it will
take away money from them. But
they should not forget that it will re-

bonus would be spent in a few days
and would quickly find its way back
where it started.

''The cost of private operation since
federal control has been 80 per cent
higher than under the railroad ad-
ministration" declared William G.
MeAdoo in testifying before the senate
investigating committee. But assum-
ing that statement to be true, it
should not be surprising. When Nc
Adoo took the roads they were in good
shape. When they were restored to
private control they were about all
in. One railroad man testified that as
for large number of the freight cars
returned to the owners, about all that
remained of them were the automatic
couplers. There wasn't anything to
couple. There had been practieauy
no attempt at renewals, repairs and
upkeep.

FIRE DESTROYS :saass
.r. FARM BUILDINGS

,H
The Lafayette Ledger reports as the
most disatrous fire for many years the
one that completely destroyed barn
machine shed, corn crib and two
granaries on the A. NJ. Olson farm
New Sweden township early last
Friday morning. Nearly every piece
of machinery on the farm, 1,50C
bushels Of grain, 700 bushels of corn,
the barn full of hay and large straw
stack went up in flames. A strong
southwest breeze famed the fire.
Two residences on the farm were saved
from the fire. @
Z The fire was first discovered about
2 o'clock in the morning. Neighbors
were notified and came in great num-
bers as did the Lafayette FIRE depart
:ment, but lack of water limited. the
fire. fighters to saving the residences.
Mr.. Anderson, who, first gave the
alarm rushed into the barn and
ioosened all the horses whereby they
were saved. He got out just in the
nick Of time as the roof Of the barn
collapsed Immediately thereafter.
The origin Of the fire is believed to
have been lightning as a crash was
heard shortly before the flames were
discovered. -.
