CAN'T Line EN- UP
Walter r. Stubbs Gives Views
on Political Problems.
Doesn't Approve Some of Gov.
Aliens Methods.

Governor Allen cannot solicit pledges
from governorship candidates to look
after his pets after he leaves public
service. If the governor is in doubt
as to the future, he should get into
the race himself.
That was the position taken here
today by Walter Roscoe Stubs. for
mer governor, who is a candidate for
nomination in the Republican pri-
maries. Stubs asserts he is friendly
to the purpose and general principles
of the industrial court But he doesn't
approve Governor Aliens efforts to
lineup all the candidates for his court
law in order TO preserve control after
he leaves office.
Il know something about what hap
pens when a person goes out of office"
said Stubs as he reflected back over
records of his ten years IN public life
you go out of office, you simply trust
TO the future for the carrying out of
your principles.
Law Needs Changes, He Says.

Aliens baby If he wants it looked
after babies, he should stay in the
came and be a candidate for another
term I admire Governor Allen very
much-and all those things. I told
William Allen White years ago that I
thought something like the industrial
court plan would be a good way TO
meet strike problems. I rather be-
lieve the law needs some changes. But
I want to put forth my ideas in a later
statement. However. the water is fine.
And if Governor Allen feels he should
be assured of the future, he should
get in for a third term.
4 am not making agreem ents with
any one. When I went out of the
governors office nine years ago, 1
trusted that my babies would be
looked after by succeeding admins
trations. Governor Allen will have to
take the same chances with his indus
trial court child. I didn't ask any one
what they would do with the primary,
the bank guaranty law. the anti-dis-
elimination law or the public utilities
act when I went out of office"
Stubs spent The morning in the
office of n. a. Turner state auditor
where he. looked into a number of
state expense items. He said
he would make a definite state
ment as to his campaign policies in
the next few weeks. He said he was
friendly to the Industrial court law
but had not committed himself to
support of any plan which Governor
Allen might offer. Stubbs expects to
begin a speaking campaign in the next
three weeks.

As was expected the house passed
the soldier bonus bill by an over
wheIming majority. Under the cir
cu=nstances it is surprising that any
member had the courage TO vote
against #. The bill received little
consideration on its merits. In any
other form it would have passed just
the same. House members had de-
termined to pass the buck to the
senate. An election is approaching
and they could not afford to delay &C

Early reports from the income tax
collections indicate that the receipts
for the year will be far below treas
ury estimates This is another sign
board pointing the way to a sales tax
as the only sure way Of raising SUI
ficient revenue to meet the govern
ments requirements. The tax experts
can make no reliable estimates on
the proceeds of a tax that so many
find ways to evRde. The returns
from a sales tax would be based on
the total business of the country and
could be estimated with a fair degree
of accuracy. If they failed to come
up to requirement the rate could be
increased. If a surplus resulted the
rate could be lowered. Besides all
this the money would be coming in
from month to month and the treas
ury would notabe forced to wait so
long to find out where it stood.

Dress Reform.

worlds highest Paid Woman WriteE.

! According to the newspaper re-
ports, the young men of Babylon, N.
| Y, have issued a ukase banning the
frivolous dress of modern woman.
They serve due notice that the skirt
/ that expects to walk out with them
must not be of knee length; that the
flapper who rolls her own will also
have to buy her own chocolate sun
daes, and that she who hobs her hair
will find that she has cut off her sup
ply of beaux at the same time.
In a word. the girls of Babylon have
go to dress properly if they desire any
attention from these most estimable
and proper young men. who earnestly
avow that they are no kith or kin to
| the inhabitants OF ancient Babylon,
and that they do not approve of the
/ practices that they understand were
! therein practiced.
OF course, it is easy to say that it is
| only the foolhardy optimism of ex-
treme youth that would lead any man.
or body of men, to attempt to dictate
to women about what they shall put
on, or leave off, when they adorn
| themselves. One might also remark
in passing that millions of preachers
| moraltsts, physicians, husbands and
fathers have worn themselves to a
fragile preaching to women about the
folly the immodesty the unhealthful-
in which they dress. and all to- no
avail Women have listened TO what
men had to say on the subject, of fem
mime dress and then gone forth, and
purchased high heels, and straight
fronts, and defied zero weather with
two layers of chiffon as their only
protection against the cold
1t is true that heretofore mems
structures on women's clothes have
borne no fruit, but that is because
their conduct gave the lie to their
theories. They would rail against
frivolity in Dress and run after the
girl with the most frilIs and furbeIovs
Women observed that fluffy ruffIes
was the one who brought home the
bacon, so to speak, and that 1t was
invariab bly, a No. triple A satin slip
pie, and not a serviceable brogue, that
walked all over men, so they con-
cerned themselves solely with what
men did on the feminine dress propo-
sItion, and not what they said
But the question becomes another
thing altogether different, Mawruss
when men threaten to back up their
theories with deeds, and to penalize
their ideal of proper, feminine dress.
As long as men merely knock womens
clothes, it made no difference, but it
IS quite another pair of sleeves as the
French say, when they refuse to be
seen out with a woman who isn't
CARRIED according to their notion.
Certainly, it is within the power of
men to- censor womens clothes, be-
cause women dress to please men.
OF course. there are those who deny
this, and say that women dress for
each other, but this is disproved by
the fact that when women get to-
gether. far away from the masculine
eye, they take off their glad rags,
they ungird their stays. and let down
their back hair, and don the loosest,
