FLEA.BITTEN TAXPAYERS.

Dear Bill; Out in Omaha they
have organized the Rational So
ciety of Brass Monkeys. The OBJ.
ject of the organization seems to
be the protection of the flea bitten
taxpayers, which means practically
everybody In the nation.
Whether this society is to be-
come powerful may depend on the
way it is managed, but there ought
to be such a society. and il ought
to be nationwide. with millions of
members ready to assert them
selves at the polls. The taxpayers
must organize to make the politi-
clans see the light and work to
reduce the enormous taxes. ma
tional and otherwise, now being
collected. J. A. l..

OLDER WOMEN

Forget flappers Give your atten.
ton to Flapping F1ossie's, brother;
he needs protection more than Flap
ping Flossie, according to DR.. Va.
leria II. Parker, head of the United
States interdepartmental social ny.
giene board.
Older women-the greatest menace
TO the boy today!
Listen to DR.. Parker,
1T is the older women more than
girls from whom the boys must be
protected. 1t is the older women
who most frequently go after boys,
not only women of the street but
women Of the so-called higher classes.
There should be an age OF con.
sent law in every State for boys as
well as girls. My statement may
come as a shock to many not ia
miliar with actual conditions, but II
is true. and such a law as ! have
mentioned is necessary. Colorado
and Kentucky already have such
laws.
81 believe boys are naturally just
as clean minded as girls. Yet boys
in the average home do not receive
the instruction on physical questions
given girls in the same home, as no
one seems to realize they need pro.
lection as well as their sisters. The
result is that the girl is more clean.
minded at the critical age.
I'VE talk so much about the prob
lem Of the girl and forget the prob.
lem of the boy.
yet the boys problem is the big
ger one. for the boys fight against
immortality is more active fight
than the girls in any cssc."

SENATE ACTION
ON D. {. TAXES
Underwood Charges District
Has Not Had Time to Study
Jones Measure.

Action was blocked upon the
Jones bill. providing for the semi.
annual collection of taxes in the
District, in the Senate late last
night.
After Senator Wesley Jones had
asked for the immediate considers.
ton of the measure, Senator I'm.
derwood objected. on the grounds
that the District of Columbia had
had no opportunity to- pass judg
ment on the bill and that further
consideration was needed by the
Senate.
Senator Jones explained that the
bill had no relation to the tax rider
in the District appropriation bill,
although IL was apparent that the
passage Of the bill would expedite
the way for the acceptance of the
tax rider. He said, however, that
il had been indorsed by the District
Commissioners, and meant nothing
more than that taxes would Ec col
lected hereafter twice a year, on
April l and October l.
The Jones bill is now on the
Senate calendar and probably will
not be called up for consideration
for some time. The Senate is now
devoting practically its entire time
to the tariff bill, and the oppor.
tunity for considering minor bills
ia limited II is possible that Sena-
tor Phipps will not try TO have the
bill considered by the Senate until
further opportunity has been grant
ed to Washington TO analyze the
bill and to register it's objections
