that such has been the inevitable
course by which the liberties OF a
great many peoples have been de-
stroyed Having imposed prohibi-
tion, law is necessary forbidding
people to laugh at its hypocrisies, alb

1t seems strange that no politician

Harding is now my shepherd, and l
am in want;
He maketh me to lie down on the
park benches; he leadeth me be-
side the free soup houses.
He restoreth my doubt in the Repuo-
lican party; he leadeth me in the
paths of destruction for his party's
sake.
Yea, though walk through the valley
of the shadow of starvation, do
fear evil, for thou art against me,
thy policies and the profitsers they
frighten me.
Thou preparest a reduction in wages
before me in the presence OF mine
enemies; thou anointest my income
with taxes; my expenses runneth
over my income.
Surely, poverty and unemployment
will follow me all the days of thi
normalcy administration, and will
dwell in rented house forever

But the sign still hangs:
Prosperity Just Round the
Corner.
The Bonus Problem.
lFrom the independently

(From the independently
The soldiers bonus is moral issue.
To place it on any other basis is to
juggle with the national conscience.
Either the payment of bonus is right
in principle or it is wrong in principle;
either it is the fulfillment of a moral
obliga tion or it is a concession which
involves political degradation. =
The case for the bonus badly stated
is that when the youth of the country
we're drafted for war and were paid a
small per diem wage in addition to
their keep and allowances to depend
ents, those who remained behind and
in many casestook their places profit
ed thereby to obtain excessively high
wages. The latter enjoyed safety and
comfort, while the former endured
hardship and underwent danger. Con
sequently it is only fair that the Gov
eminent which commandeered their
services make up to them some por-
ton Of the difference in wages.
They point out that various large
groups of men took advantage of the
war and their organized power to in
crease their wages and better their
position; and that the war profiteers
enriched themselves enormously at
at the public expense. Why, then,
should not they, who better deserve
it, organize to get their share? But
two wrongs, or any number ofwrongs
do not make right. 1t is pre-
cisely these young men who riskeo
their lives for their country who ought
to be most concerned in righting these
wrongs, not in perpetuating them
If, on the contrary, they arc willing
to join in general scramble to raiC
the treasury, to resort to politica
combination and exert political pres
sure-in other words, to sell their col
lective vote-tc "get theirs the out
look for democracy in America is darl
indeed. They endured hardships, t
be sure, and in many cases pecuniar
loss, but they returned from Franc
harder in body, the better for mill
tary training, and with their outloo
, broadened by travel and experience

be elected the Wall street district has
flooded Congress with letters and
argumenta cs =, Society rectly and
State Hists2ni ts2ns great New York news
papers, under control of the financial
interests, urging the enactment of a
sales-tax. Big business seeks, through
Harding's recent action, to bring the
sales-tax into use first on the plea
that it is necessary to pay the bonus
that for the entering wedge. Their
hope and intention is that it shall be
made, within few years to take the
place of all income and corporation
taxes. This has been expressed in
the Wall Street Journal and the New
York Tribune repeatedly.
The Shipping Board is paying So
900 per year to one Matthew B. Claus
sen as advertising manager. This is
the same man who had charge of the
advertising propaganda for Germany
after the war began in Europe, the
friend of Captain Boy-ed, DR.. Alber
and Won Bernstorff. Great pity the
man who sunk the Lusitania can't be
found-the President might find a fat

effect of Governor Hyde's high tax

effect of Governor Hyde's high tax
policy:
Max Crouch, a farmer, living south
west of Clinton, was the owner of
1000 bushels of corn when the asses
sor came to his farm in June, 1920, to
assess his property for 1921 taxes.
The market value of corn was about
81 a bushel and the corn was assessed
at S4, 1000. The state board of equaliza-
ton, headed by Governor Hyde, vot-
ed a 65 per cent increase for all per-
sonal property of Henry county which
boosted Crouch's assessment on the
corn to $1,000.
When Crouch paid his taxes in
December, 1921, on an assessment oi
Sc 500 the corn was worth about 81,
$40, the market price being 26 cents
bushel. ..
Doubtless there are many similar
cases throughout Missouri, affecting
not only the owners of grain, but live
stock owners, who were called upcr
to pay upon assessments of this form
of personal property, which had sui
fered most in deprecated markets
equivalent to twice and three times
its marketable value. The Henry
county man who paid taxes upon
valuation six times as great as th'
market price OF corn will be hard tf
convince, when the agents OF th'
State Tax Commission go about thu
state telling people how their take
have been reduced.
We reiterate our former suggestion
Let those whose taxes were reduc
ed, vote the Republican ticket thi
fall, and all the rest go with tn
Democrats.
Iron County register., 1922-03-16

than it ever cost any other Governor.
The up-keep of the Mansion, how
ever, is small matter and may as
we'll be dismissed, for the people are
not sitting as a jury over the extra
expenditure OF few thousand dollars.
The en- orm GUS increase in taxes is
the principal charge against the Gov
ernor, and this he cannot successfully
defend. When he was inaugurated
he found full treasury with surplus
of several million dollars. His pre-
decessor in office, in his last message,
called attention to the overhowing
treasury and recommended that taxa
tion be reduced. He said that the
state was receiving more taxes than
were required and proved his state
ment by the revenue then in the state
treasury.
| Governor Hyde paid no attention
to this wise advice. To the contrary,
he commenced belaboring the other
Republican state officials who are
members of the state board of equal
ization to force them to stand for
enormous increases in the valuation
of farms and city homes, and he sue
ceeded. The governor was given his
way and now he brought his party to
facing certain defeat at the election
this fall. The next Legislature will
not be made up of men who will do
Governor Hyde's bidding on the theo-
ry of getting offices for their relatives.
Governor Hyde has probably done
all the harm he can do. True, he can
yet call more extra sessions of the
legislature, but since he lost control OF
the senate, it is doubtful if he will do
so. During the last two years term
of office he will have little to do but
comprehend the wreck OF the Repub-
lican party in Missouri, all occasioned
by single year of his administration
Governor Hadley served four years
without injury 30 his party, but Gov
ernor Hyde was not in office si1
months until he had the Republican
party on the defensive, where it hal
been ever since. There is no such
thing possible now as Governor Hyd1
retracing his steps. The harm has al
ready been done. He may talk to tn
Missouri farmers until Gabriel blow
his trumpet, but he will never be ahl
to convince them that their take
should have bean increased when tht
pest governor the state ever had, ha.
gone entirely through the war perio
and left an overfiowing treasury an
recommended ton to reduce taxation
The increased tax bills of 1921 owe
the tax bills of 1920 is an argumen
, the governor cannot meet.
