HEROIC WORK.

Even though 1t is now found that those miners who were trapped thous- ands of feet underground at Jackson, California, had died from gas poisoning probably within five hours after their escape from the mine had been shut off by fire, it doesn't in any way detract from the heroic efforts that were made 70 find them alive and release them. Whatever signals it was believed had been communicated to the rescuers al ? now proved to have been from some other source, but those who urged cu-- ting through walls of rock, those who provided the reward which created in- creased rivalry between the shifts of workers, those who directed the rescue efforts as well as those who participated In the endurance contest clearly demon stTated what they were willing to do -a render assistance to that party of miners which could not escape otherwise. There was no assurance that they would be found alive but hope was eagerly enter tsined and they were willing to provide the muscle taxing labor required tc make the most of the one pcssiS le chance.
 What might have been the sltuatio. in that underground hole had they be " protected against the poisonous gas. o1 had they succeeded in shutting off .hs fumes that were coming from the fir, Is only conjecture. It was matter O hree weeks from the time that they were trapped until their bodies vert tound Without food and possibly with put water the chances of continui , lheir existence for so long a period un Ter such unfavorable circumstance. seemed slight. Nevertheless the effor was worth making even though it faile' of It's real object.
 It is one more instance which goes t emphasize the danger that Is involve In mining, but a wonderful demonstra ton nevertheless of the means which available today of overcoming grave ob stacles even though those handicaps II rounding the fighting of a fire unde ground or of reaching those beyond ar tragically apparent. Rescue service ha reached a high degree of efficiency bI there are yet conditions which 1t is nc possible to successfully combat.

THE pREsrpENr.s VETO

President Harding has done just what it was expected he would do with the bonus bill that was submitted to him for approval by congress. He has sent the measure hack to congress with the statement that he cannot give his sane ton to 1t and at the same time act for the welfare of the country. He there fore vetoes the bill and places the re- Eponsibility directly upon congress If 1t becomes a law.
 It is a veto that was anticipated in view of what the president had to say concerning the legislation some months ago. Submitted for his approval 1t brought forth the information that no provision was made for the raising of the necessary revenue to meet the au- thorized expenditure. Promising some thing without providing the money to pay for it is bad enough under any condition but when the government is facing a deficit of substantial amount and it is committed to reduction of na- honal expenditures and has succeeded In making substantial cuts in appropria- liens and reductions in taxation the folly of rushing Into expenditures which would offset that benefit it Is apparent Iy time for someone to lay stress upon national welfare rather than class leg islation.
 In directing attention to the fact that a sales tax might be imposed to provide the revenue congress has disregarded it Likewise has it ahandened the idea of utilizing interest from the foreign debt for the bonus and at the same tim5 failed Co provide any way of obtaining the necessary money. The course fol lowed is properly condemned by tn, president Such action would establi sl one of those precedents from which thu government should keep as far away a: possible and this the president has wei pointed out.
 The veto by the president is properi. applied. The bill therefore goes bacl to congress for that opportunity wh' It has of sustaining the veto or passin. It over the veto and in the latter cas, laking the full responsibility. There ar reasons to believe, and 1t is to be sin cerely hoped, that the senate will refus to disregard the advice of the president

INCREASING STATE DUTIES.

The question of taxation Is one th.t interests most everyone, whether they are directly or indirectly concerned, aad Interest increases as taxation increases. In the state of Michigan attention has recently been called to the need of get- ting away from the high taxation ana 1t has been pointed out of the present taxes there Is but per cent of he state's income that goes for the admin lstrattve. legislative and judicial branches of the state government. The largest single amount 0r s7 ger cent voes for educational purposes. 22 per seut for charitable and curative insti:u- tons. 90 per cent for highway improve ment, soldserS bonus and war loan. about per cent for prisons and a little over two and a half per cent for the encouragement of agriculture outside of an agricultural college.

only in building statewide systems but in maintaining them. and these systems are constantly being added to. Tie same is true in regard to charitable and curative institutions The need of the state taking over the work which was poorly done by towns or not done at all has required increased expense. and 1t is growing instead of increasing, The state has nranched out into efforts which time has shown to be vocessary. There are conditions to be met which can be handled by the commonwealth rather than by the towns
 What Is true in Michigan holds good in other states. The increase in taxa tcn has to large extent results from the undertaking of necessary resronsi-
 bilities, and as time goes on those re- responsibilities are certain to increase for population and the demands thereof are making 1t necessary. There is good and sufficient reason at all times however for the insistenee upon economical ad-

rHE cAPE cop CANAE.

what appears to mark the end of the effort that has been made to have the government acquire the Cape Cod ca- nal is the action of the senate in agree ing with the house in acting favorabiy upon the rivers and harbors bin by elinn- mating the provisions for the purchase of that waterway and the Dismal swamp canal.
 Efforts to bring about the purcnase of the canal across the cape have been underway for a considerable time, an ' especially since the government oper- atd it during the war period. Unfortd- nately the Dismal swamp canal was in- eluded in order to offset the sectional feature. The attempt to authorize an amount considerably less than what 1t was believed the canal could be bought for was unsuccessful and the matter ends entire matter from the rivers and har- bors bill.
 Seeking the purchase of the canal at this time was open to the same ohIec- ton that many other projects enco In- tered. The need of the government Is to curtail rather than increase expen- ditures and the expense and obligations that would be involved in the proposed purchase, even though the extension of the canal facilities were not attempted can well be delayed until a more favre. able time.
 There cannot be overlooked, however in this instance what a benefit to New England shipping and the defense Of the New England coast the possession si this waterway by the government would be. There are advantages afforded al the present time but they are limited in comparison with what they should be- for by deepening of the canal :: can be made to accommodate vessel: which are now unable to make use oi 1t.
 Cutting the distance by 50 miles and eliminating one of the worse gray e yards for shipping along the coast. thu canal is now extensively used hut nc to the extent that it is a gold mine fel the owners. In fact it seems fmprob able that any further work will be don | upon 1t beyond maintenance unless tn government undertakes the deveIepmen

What seemed like a serious situat' Jn because of the indication that Germa V was not going to furnish a proper guar antee for the payment of obligations Q Belgium has apparently passed over 'ol- the time being. Failure to keep prom ises where Belgium is involved is a del- icate matter for Germany, but when the announcement is made that the Reichs- bank of Germany has completed nego- tiatiaons whereby the Bank Of England and Dutch bank will guarantee the notes of Germany the way ont of the difficulty has probably been settled, The guarantees under such circusn- stances must be regarded as favorable to Belgium 3nasmuch as it is a transac- tion in which Belgium gets protection against loss and it can be certain that the British and Dutch interests involv 1 have been given securities which they deem adequate.
 Thus does it appear that one more crisis has been met and passed. It W I serve to reduce, the friction among he allies and tend to et-o--4r,o-1 the unity of which they are at the present tirne so much ;n need. Nothing would be more gratifying to Germany than to be able to bring about split among the allied nations. That would work to it's advantage, but just at present the need of standing together is being emphasized from more than one direction.
