Tucker-Neeley Case Reopened.
(Potosi Journal.)

(Potosi Journal.)
Elmer T. Tucker, who shot and kill
ed his father-in law, Arthur Neeley,
a former resident of Sunlight neigh
borhood, at Bismarck several weeks
ago, and who had been exonerated of
the killing by the coroner's jury on
the grounds that he had acted in self
defense, was arrested on Tuesday Of
last week on warrant sworn out by
Mrs. Neeley, widow of the slain man,
charging murder, according to the
Bismarck Gazette of last week. Tuck
er was released under bond for his
appearance in the circuit court at
Pennington.
In connection with the reopening
of this case, we add that shortly after
our publication OF the account of this
tragedy we received commu nication
from Caledonia, the purport OF which
was that the family and friends oi
Arthur Neeley felt that the verdict Of
the coroner's jury was travesty up
on justice and Stigma upon the
name and memory Of the dead ma n
This communication presented the
case in an entirely different light, bu
because Tucker was then under legal
absolvement of any crime in causing
Neeley's death, we felt we could no
print the statements offered in defens'
OF Neeley's conduct that lead to tn,
shooting without placing ourself in
position for action as libelous towar'
Tucker. In bringing the case befor
the law again, Neeley's family an
friends have taken the proper ste
for thorough airing Of the killing.

Liberian Loan, No Longer Needed to
Fool Negro Vote, Killed.

With the latest election month
past and the next sons two years dis
tant, the Republican administration
feels somewhat free to permit the de-
feat of legislation which was propos-
ed largely as bid for American negro
votes.
The resolution authorizing loan OF
$5, 900, 900 to Liberia, the "black" Re-
public in Africa, has been shelved
with the help of standpat Republicans,
including Senators watson, of In
diana, Cameron, of Arizona, Nichol-
son, of Colorado, Fernald of Maine
and Harreld, of Oklahoma.
The Dyer anti-lynching bill, which
also was used as bait for negro votet
in the recent election, is yet on the
calendar of the Senate, having pass
ed the House last spring. There il
not much prospect that this bill viii
be passed at the special session o.
Congress-, or at all.
When the exigencies of the mex
Presidential campaign oblige, the Re
publicsns, it is expected, will devise
another legislative program designed
to attract and delude the negroes
Meantime, since there are not vote
to be obtained by such decoys as th'
Liberian loan and the anti-lynchini
bill, they are pretty certain to b
pigeonholed indefinitely.

Corporation Tax Repeal Chickens Com
ing Home to Roost.

When Congress begins to authorize
appropriations in the short session be-
ginning December 5, the Republican
administration will be reminded of
the $780, 100000 of taxes repealed a
year ago for the benefit of Big Bust
ness, including many profiteers.
It was argued in behalf of this re-
duction of excess profits taxes and
high surfaces that their continuance
would burden business and industry
and retard the country's return to
"normalcy." Elimination of these
taxes was proposed-almost guaran-
teed-as the same thing as the stimu-
lation of production and commerce.
Prosperity would come back and
dwell in the land If only it's chief rep
resentatives had their tax bills cut.
Some of these taxes-those on ex-
cess profits-were repealed. The
high surtaxes were reduced from 65
to 80 per cent. The excess profits
taxes represented for the Govern
ment an income of $450, ,0O0, 900 year,
The decrease in the surtaxes present.
ed $61 100000. What the Govern
ment lost by their repeal or reduc-
ton was gained by the big corpora
tions and profiteers that had been
paying them.
But the country isn't prosperous
and hasn't been since Mr.. Harding't
administration took charge of things
The Government has overdrawn It'll
account, and has been borrowing
money to meet current expenses
There is . deficit of $3.50, ,000, 900 and
the revenues are diminishing. The
revenues fell off 81, 400, 100000 for the
fiscal year 1922. The talk of sales
tax as source of governmental in
come has not been stilled.
All this Is bad enough, but in the
face of these fiscal difficulties, and In
spite of commercial depression ant
agricultural panic, President Harding
wants to vote $75O,OOO, 900 into the
Golfers of the Shipping Trust, ant
Secretary Mellon is accused by . Re-
publican Representative-Frear o
Wisconsin-of refusing to enforce the
law requiring big corporations to pay
Federal taxes on their incomes.
The Republican Congress will con
front this state of affairs when it un
dertakes to provide funds for the
operation of the Government during
the fiscal year beginning next July.

ton; he had this skin trouble all over

hood, decided the man had Leprosy
and wrote a letter to Governor Hyde
asking that something be done with
him as he was q menace and danger
to the community. Governor Hyde
turned this letter over to the Missouri
State Board of Health and they in
turn sent it to the Health Officer of
Iron county asking that an inYestiga-
ton be made and report sent in at
once. This investigation was made
and report sent in few days after
receiving this report. The President
of the State Board of Health very
kindly interested himself in the case
and made arrangements to have the
man sent to the Bernard Skin & Gan.
Ger Hospital in st. Loeis. This was
done at the expense of Iron county.
Mr.. Colyotte was kept there in the
hospital where he received the best Of
care for some four or five months
without any further expense to Iron
county. 1t is our understanding that
there is no provision made for the
care and maintenance of incurable
cases at the Bernard Skin & Cancer
Hospital, so after it was determined
by those in charge that Mr.. Colyotte
was an incurable case Iron county
was again asked to take charge of
OF him. The matter was again taken
up with the State Board of Health and
it was found that the state had no
place where this man could be taken
and cared for, even IL Iron county
agreed to pay the expense, so there
was nothing else to do bot have the
Sheriff of Iron county 60 to st. Louis
and bring Mr.. Colyotte back to Iron
county and put him in the Poor
House. This was done and he is still
there. This man was visited few
days ago; his condition is now better
than when he was first sent to st.
Louis; he says he is well taken care Of,
gets plenty OF food and is as comfort
able ss possible in his condition. He
has two nurses in two old men who
are also inmates at the Poor House;
the County Physician sees him occa-
sionally and keeps him supplied with
necessary medication all the time.
Taking into consideration the fact
that this man is not resident of Iror
county, that Iron county Is not legal.
ly bound to care for him, that the
great State of Missouri does not make
any provision for cases of this kind
it seems to US that the little county oi
Iron has done about as well as it posi-
bly, could under the circumstances.
To sum up: The inmates of the
Farm are not ill-treated or denied the
comforts and care possible under pre-
vailing conditions. The superintend.
ent and those under him are humane
and alive to the misfortune of the mer
and women under their charge ant
render them the relief available
