The Wilson Prestige.

Much of the interest in political circles that
has attached to Mr.. Wilson since his retirement
from office has grown out of the rejected
League of Nations. His friends have claimed.
and his opponents have wondered what there
might be in the claim, that the Harding admin
istration would fail in its efforts to put some
thing in the place of the league, and that the
failure would revive the league and in the end
restore Mr.. Wilson's prestige entirely. The
pacts negotiated under Mr.. Harding's leader
ship are now in the hands Of the senate for
ratification or rejection. If they are ratified
as now seems more than likely-shall we hear
anything further about the League of Nations?
Will they not serve every purpose the country
has in mind and at heart? If they are rejected
shall we be thrown back naturally and inevi-
tably upon the work Mr.. Wilson did at the
Paris conference?
1t is but fair to Mr.. Wilson to say that in
all the speculation that has played around his
name since he left the White house he has not
once been quoted. What his views may be
about peace and the future as affected by the
failure of his negotiations Mr.. Harding has
concluded as yet are his secret And, as all will
agree, Mr.. Wilson keeps his own counsel as
well any man of his generation There is
no serious thought in any quarter of third
campaign by Wilson for the presidency. His
health forbids the suggestion. What has spIiced
the combinations of the quidnunces is won
der about how he would exercise a restored
pull and prestige on the next Democratic ma
tiona1 convention and who among his partys
leaders would best express wisconsin in both
foreign and domestic affairs in as strenuous a
tusse as that of 1924 now promises to be-

Zoning Eliminates Evils.

The Chicago City club bulletin recently pub
lished the following statement of the value Of
city coming:
"Zoning sells a town. An unzoned town is
like stock of goods the shelves.
''Zoning is a flexible harness in which city
expansion works. 1t may be adjusted in case
it gals or frets at any point
"Zoning will flatten out the human pyra-
mid which congestion has created in a crowded
portion of the city.
"Zoning substitutes method for chance
symmetry for confusion, progression for patch
work and order for chaos in city development
'Zoning affords for the poor man such
curity from nuisance and invasion the rich
may provide at great expense"
Zoning, like self-government, requires
interested and intelligent public back of it,
and wise, far-sighted leaders in charge. Cities
are one of the products of civilization which
have not always or in all parts been source of
pride. If che coming system is widely applied
with fairness and justice and clear civic vision,
it would go far to eliminate the evils which
have made the overgrown city the chaotic
small town unsightly and uncomfortable
place for human beings to live. nation, like
man, can neither live unto itself nor die unto
itself But if it would do the former the latter
would be cinch.

Taxing for a Bonus.

President Harding has advised congress to
pay the soldiers bonus with a general sales
tax postpone the bonus legislation. The
president has come to the conclusion that the
only safe and parctical way to raise money to
pay bonus is by means of sales tax. 1t ap-
pers to be doubtful, however, whether a general
sales tax will meet with the approval of con-
gress. The farm bloc is fighting such tax
and it may be strong enough to defeat it Yet
1t seems the only practicable plan for raising
money for this purpose, since it would distri-
butte the cost that it would be borne by all
of the people and would not contribute added
difficulties to the problem of readjustment
The cost of bonus should be borne by all the
people. The suggestion that the excess profits
tax should be placed on the statute books again
is absurd.
The Republicans conducted their campaign
of 1920 the promise among others that
such measures as the excess profits tax should
be abolished. They have just succeeded in
abolishing it and to reestablish it again would
be the height Of folly. Probably no single fea-
ture has contributed more to the high cost of
living in the past few years than the excess
profits tax and the excessive taxes on large in
Gomez Such taxes, heralded by the politicians
as levies on the rich have in practical opera
ton vastly increased the cost of living of the
great mass of the people. Business now is
taxed almost to the limit of endurance and
further. taxes along this line can hardly fail
TO work to the disadvantage of the whole coun-
try. A sales tax will provide the money neces-
sary to pay bonus with the least damage to
the country,

population OF a country proceeds to think of it,
self as made up exclusively Of consuming units.
Every box Of foreign goods swung down upon
our docks is assumed to usurp the place in our
markets that should be occupied by home man
ufactured goods, produced by home labor. 1t
seems impossible for any to remember at such
times that are not only consuming, but
producing; that we are not only buying goods,
but that we have goods to sell. 1t is not sus-
ceptible to argument that each barrier to goods
coming in operates as barrier to goods going
put Intelligent solution of the problem can
be obtained only by carefully considering how
to maintain balance between the two activi-
ties of producing and consuming. Enormous
progress will be made toward solution
of some OF the worlds most difficult problems
when men overcome the handicap Of single
track thinking in this one particular.

Progress in FINLAND.

Next month the motion picture industry
plans to celebrate what it is pleased to call the
tenth anniversary of the feature film. The cell
ebration, of course, will be an advertising
campaign, but it does bring to mind the fact
that the movie is an infant in the amusement
world and also that it is rated as one of the
big industries of the country. In fact stock
exchanges quote the fluctuations in the stock
of some of the leading companies along with
United States Steal and other stocks lust as
well known. Motion pictures at first were Just
pictures that moved. and many there were that
came out of the black tent in which the enter
tainment was given contending that it was
merely optical illusion and not photograph
of moving objects.
The first time story was ever used in a
motion picture was in 1903 Some one invent
ed chase and for years picture was not com
plete without chase. In 1911 the first feature
picture or story with a connected plot came
into existence. 1t was "Enoch Arden" Many
in Rock Island recall that first picture That
was only decade ago. In the intervening years
the photoplay has progressed as far as the
stage play progressed in 800 years. 1t developed
an original dramatic form and the histrionic
art to convey its ideas. 1t has called to its
colors literary celebrities and the best acting
talent in the world. And it has only begun to
achieve the greatness that is in store for it. OF
course the industry has been shaken by scan
dals, but that is merely the result of too rapid
growth. There is nothing TO demoralize the
morals in a motion picture camera, and in |
time the undesirable element will be weeded
