A,Protest Against
 Present Tax on Trappers

If l had the lamp of Aladdin, some wonderful things I'd do. If You have a moment to listen, I'll mention one to you. First of all, on each lawmaker, lifelong tax I'd impose, because tax seems to be the nature of those who to Juneau go. By action of our legislature a tax now does impose on the hide of the rat or weasel; for what purpose DO one knows. The mink and the marten also, their mite must give. The warden says, "I'll warn you one, boys;' if in this country you want to live. Emergency they say is the purpose; 1 think it's against our will; their figures on taxation is like hootch from a still. Many a poor and honest prospector his grubstake has tried to make in this, Gods tree country, few of na- ture's furs to take. Just look at our millionaire trappers, and our wealthy prospectors too, and all of the well-to-do Natives who can hand this tax to you.
 Now, to one and all whats the incentive? This applies to our lawmakers too; it's the percentage check you're after, instead of en- courage, we'll tax you. It seems to me it would be better to encour- age the few who are left; God knows Alaska needs them, this tax has heft. Oh, yes, I'd almost for gotten, the fox, whose fur is blue i; it did not escape the attention of this bunch. the chosen few. The man who spends his money for im- provements and for this fox of blue a license if he is to continue, and a tax on what he raises too.
 What a howl you would hear from the farmer, the bean and the spud who grows; if a tax on his efforts were levied as the result ot the seed he sows. Now, who is the one to suffer? Just listen, this means you. It's the prospector, the Ma tive, the trapper, the country also, and the chosen few. To those who are still in the country. the few who are left behind; few more jabs of this nature, then we'll move to an- other cline.

Abraham's Oak Tree.

When Abraham was promised pos session of the land of Canaan. it is recorded, he was commanded to walk through the land, whereupon he re- moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is fin Hebron, and built there an altar to the Lord. It is stated that this spot is still marked by a great oak tree venerated alike by Christian, Jew and Mohammedan. Its preservation in a region cleared of almost all trees by the improvident Turks is attributed to the protection by all religions.

worthy and asked him how he was feeling, and he scowled at me and said it was none of my business, and intimated that I'd have more friends If I wouldn't always be putting in. Had I been given to jumping to con- clusions, like you, I'd have insisted that Gooseworthy was a crank whose head should be bathed in harness oil. But said to myself that the old man must have some trouble on his mind, which led him to forget the ordinary bylaws and regulations of the game of etiquette, and before I had gone a block met Farthingdale, who asked me if I had hear about GoOSeworthy.
 "'The old man bought a new auto mobile yesterday said Farthingale, and before he had owned it an hour he ran it into tree and crumpled it all up, so it wouldn't have fetched S5 at the junk yard
 "Then I was glad that I hadn't set Gooseworthy down as a confirmed sore head. You may not know it, but Ker- smith was moving from one house to another yesterday, and that job will ruin the disposition of the most en- thusiastic optimist in the world. Un- less you have moved, you don't know what a nerve racking experience is.
 "When I was younger l used to be moving pretty often, having discovered, after much observation and research. that 1t was cheaper than paying rent. The moving itself is bad enough, but your experiences after the job is done fairly drive you frantic. You can't find anything you want for a month afterwards. About thousand things seem to be lost for keeps, but they come bobbing up in the most unex- pected places. You find your tooth brush in the toe of a slipper, and your watch in a jar of sauerkraut, and your Sunday necktie in stuffed dog. When you put on your Sunday hat. you find it half full of carpet rags. There never was such dog gone business, and I hold that the man who can move, and still smile saintly smile, is yet to be born.
 "Featherly is one of the sunniest men I ever knew. His face just fair ly radiates with happiness, so it would warm up an average room quicker than furnace could do it. I always considered it pleasure to meet him, for his joyous demeanor braced me up for the day. and made me feel that life was worth living.
 Two days ago I overlook him on the street and slapped him on the back and asked him how he stacked up. I had done the same dozen times before. and he had always nearly wrung my hand of in that enthusias' tic way of his. And he had slapped me on the back, and told me l was bully boy with vitrified eye, on many occasions.
 "So you can imagine how felt when he turned around looking as mad as a group of wet hens. He shook his fist under my nose and danced around and said, You blamed splay-footed sway-backed, knock-kneed imbecile. if you ever again take such liberty with me, I'll wind your face around your neck and tie your ears together on top of your head
 At first I was mad and inclined to tell him what I thought of him, but just then a man came up and said, 'Featherly, I'm sorry you didn't get the appointment as postmaster and then l understood"

Profiting From Orphans.

Occasionally there are rumors that this or
that orphanage or home-finding association is
being conducted as a money-making scheme
rather than a purely phianthropic enterprise
1t is said that several of these institutions have
actually paid commissions to police matrons
and others to have the courts send children to
them.
Rock Island in common with every other
city in the land, has cases where it is neces-
sary to take children away from their parents
and place them with institutions operating for
the purpose of providing homes for unfortu-
nate little ones To date, so far as known,
there has been no breath of scandal connected
with any of the institutions to which children
from this locality have been sent, and undoubt-
eddy the courts have reliable knowledge OF these
institutions If they haven't, now is good
time to obtain this information-now and not
after scandal develops.
1t is always sad to consign children to homes
other than their natural Cnes and this 70 mat
ter how carefully supervised these homes may
be- But when any person or group figures out
a scheme to profit financially because of the
misfortune of little children it begins to look
as if crime had been committed. Whenever
it develops that a person in position to rec
ommend to a court that children be sent to one
certain home to the exclusion Of all others
there is cause for suspicion and need for IN
yestigation. The children's good must always
be the first consideration.

Man, the Fighting Animal.

Still there cynics who keep on parrotlng
the familiar refrain: You can't stop warfare
because man is a fighting animal, and human
nature never changes" Whether human nature
really changes may be open to discussion. but
that is not exactly what the cynics mean. They
mean that human nature keeps right on eX-
pressing itself, age after age, in the same way,
and history, past and present, is crammed with
facts disproving that assumption. Take this
naval holiday business. Suppose any states
man, native or foreign, mad suggested ten years
ago that we all stop building warships and
sink half of what We had, including our latest
and best models. He would have been howled
down as a crazy dreamer.
The British government in 1918, driven by
fear of the growing German navy and the in
creased cost of armament did sound out the
German government about a two-year suspen-
sion of building, and promptly withdrew the
proposal when.it was rebuffed. The world was
not ready for the idea. And now are enter
ing upon a ten-year holiday, with the three
leading powers voluntarily scrapping nearly
million tons of fighting ships, while all the
nations applaud. Yes, still fight but peo-
pie who used TO fight each other beginning
to fight armament and taxes and poverty and
ignorance and disease.

The New Record Flight.

The achievement of Messrs. Stinson and
Bertrand in setting q mark for air
plane endurance flight full two hours ahead
of the record made by the Frenchmen Bosso-
trout and Bernard last year, demonstrates
again that the American designer, workman and
aviator and American materials are of the right
quality. Given a chance, they can fully hold
their own with the rest of the world. This IS
the fourth American airplane worlds record
of the year. the others being for altitude. for
speed and for efficiency. 1t is to be hoped that
the year 1922 will produce if not a worlds
record, at least creditabe showing in official
encouragement of aviation, including passage
of the bill now before congress providing for
research, information and regulation.
The severe conditions under which the new
est record was accomplished provided test
of exceptional value. In contrast with the
balmy June weather under which last years
mark was set in France, the binding storm
the contrary winds and the below zero tenn
perature over and above the Mineola field
tested the metal of the flying machine and of
the operators to the utmost. Equally sus-
tanned flight would have carried them either to
the far west or well into the continent of
Europe. That such trips under normal condi-
tons of flight viii before long be common
place proceedings has been pretty well estab-
lished.
1t is a satisfaction to note that the machine
in which the historic flight was achieved is of
American design, construction, workmanship
and materials, as well as being the vehicle of
American pilots 1t is interesting also to note
that the machine is not IN every respect all
American. The designer and builder is ]. L.
Larsen, an American citizen of Danish origin,
and it is driven by engine produced in
Bavaran factory. Whether or not it would
have flown as we'll with Liberty motor is an
academic question. Its International charac-
ter must be acknowledged.
Not the least of the achievement is the ex-
traordinary airmanship 1t required not only
knowledge. skill and judgment in working the
throttle and the spark lever, in maintaining the
right speed and the right distance and in dodg
ing steeples and chimneys in the storm and
the darkness, but ingenuity and pluck of
exceptional order. With bare and frost-bitten
hands, the two young pilots, sleepless and food
less and almost frozen kept the engine going
by pouring the stubborn and CONCEALED oil
into an mprovised opening in the tank in just
the right quantity, though the scattering fluid
and greases mingled with the binding snow.
Altogether it was a dramatic chapter in the
history begun in America when Wilbur Wright

The Daily Short Story

very softly when he said good-b by
and that was all.
Christmas, 1921! The little club
house was gayly decorated with
eyergreens and holly Little twigs
of mistletoe were hung in out-of-
the-way places-snares for pretty
clever maiGens High on a step
ladder perched the girl-a little
older-a little wiser-lovelier than
ever Before her on the, wall hung
a picture-the bCy-in his uniform,

Tightening about her heart, and her
straight shoulders sagged a little.
Come, come, Jeanie-don't give
way now. We've far too much to
do" The girl at the foot of the
stepladder was very practical.
Il can't help it, Mary-he was 50
perfect. Why did it have to be the
one I loved best in the world?"
But the girl at her feet wasn't
listening. She was busy directing
the hanging of a huge bell. Then
She hurried out. 1t was late after
noon, and the final decorations were
carefully placed. The others were
ready to go.
Coming, Jeaniee Or are Won go
ing to sit there on the ladder moon =
ing over Carlos all night? Poor
Carlos. He'd give his life again
to see you thus," And they were
gone. The sun, almost set, cast a
last glory of pale sunshine through
the window, setting all the holly
berries glowing. The girl on the
ladder sobbed Unheeded.
Suddenly her figure stifrened. An
uncanny feeling that she was not
alone crept over her and she lift
ed her face from her hands. There
at the foot of the ladder was a man
HIS face bore horrible scar across
the lett cheek-a lurid crimson
scar! But the eyes were the same

But the sad story of the German
prison camp and hospital, and the
reluctance to shatter the girls

but later-when the sun had en-

had departed, leaving the two by
