the foresight of Governor Brougf
and the businesslike management OF
Governor McItae.
One of the striking. recommenda,
tons of the platform Is for the
abolition OF all general tax lsyies
for state purposes, the necessary
revenue to be derived from an ex
tension of the excise tax on in
heritances, franchises, insurance
premiums and similar privileges. II
is recommended also that q sever
ance tax be levied upon the states

oil. forest products, minerals, coal
gravel, sand. stone. pearls, etc.

party speaks from its platform in
Iunmistakable terms. There shall be
no retreat upon the question oil

which declares that the 18th amend
ment is a fixture in our organic
! law, that federal and state prohi
bition laws must be enforced, thai
the Volstead act must not be re
pealed or modified and that thu
sale of light wines and beer shall
not be permitted.

Legislation be enacted which will
require registration of all persons

The planks on agriculture ant
education and labor and capital ar
especially strong. There are enough
recommendation in the platform OF
the subject Of taxation TO provide
work for at least two sessions of thu
Legislature. 1t is known that man,
bills are already being drawn II

League of Nations in

BY DAVID Nj. CHURCH.

Correspondent
London, Sept. 23.--Newspapef
editors in London are saying un-
things about the
friends of the League of Nations
these days. Lord Robert Cecil and
some Of his associates started a
movement among League supporters
of writing personal letters to editors
asking them why they didn't print
more news about the League. The
movement grew into proportions
alarming for the editors. One
editor received 1000 letters of
this character and printed reply
in his newspaper stating: "Tho
reason We don't print more news
about the League of Nations is
that there isn't any more news
about the League of Nations to

A recent robbery in London was
so cleverly done that the police at
tributed it to Americans. A firm OF
jewellers were called on the tele-
phone and told that a rich Ameri-
can. giving the name of 'Mr. Bel
man, of New York" wanted to look
at some diamonds in his room at a
well-known hotel Two statesmen,
bearing a packet containing $4,000
worth of gems. went to the desig-
mated hotel and were escorted into
the room of Mr. Belman." The
wouldbe purchaser examined the
gems and then said he would like
to take them into an adjoining
room to show them to his wife, who
was i'll in bed. He stepped into the
next room and closed the door
after him. In a few minutes the
jewel statesmen became suspicious
and upon trying all of the doors
leading out of the room the knobs
came off in their hands and the
doors were locked with spring locks
They tried the telephone and found
the wires cut 1t was more than
an hour before they were able to
attract sufficient attention to bring
about their release. The police
looked the situation over and
thought the job so clever that they
immediately ascribed it to an
American.
