lars valuation and the assessment
down to where it did not, in actual
practice, average more than 20 per
cent of the value of real property. For
all purposes n farmer paid about $15
per year on welkimproved farm of
16O acres. But the evil days came,
and they came with the advent of a
Republican State administration
About one hundred thousand Demo-
crats either stayed at home on cleo
tion day, 1920, or went to the polls
and voted the Republican ticket. They
did not know when they were we'll
off. That performance brought the
Republicans into full control in Mis-
souri, for the first time in fifty years
they had the Governor, a man named
Hyde (and his hide will probably be
nailed to the woodshed door when tho
Houses Of the Legislature. One of
the first evil fruits Of this Republi-
can control was an increase of taxes.
1t was done by raising the assess
ment rate and it runs all the way
from so to 100 per cent in the var
ious counties Of the State. And,
worst of all, there is absolutely no
Improvement or benefit which the
people receive for the extra drain on
their pocketbooks-a drain coming at
a very bad time, when the whole c0un-
try is suffering from severe case Of
bad administration.
For Kansas, as we'll as Missouri,
the moral is very plain; they can
clean house and put in force those
policies and principles which made
Missouri the least taxed and best
governed State in the Union.
The Anti-lynching Act provides
that the County in which the lynchng
occurs shall be fined $4,000, which
shall go to the family Of tc- late
lamented negro brute, while nothing
is paid to the poor victim of his bcs-
tiality. This is Il fair sample of Re-
publican legislation. Dyer, the au-
thor Of this bill, had district con-
tanning many thousands of negroes
when he wrote the bill, but it looks
like he will have to run in the State
ut large next November, because Of
the technical position of the attempt
to redistrict Missouri, whereupon the
rural voter will get chance at
Brc'r Dyer. He will carry heavy
handicap and the odds will be greatly
against him.

NEWS HAPPENINGS
ABOUT WASHINGTON
(by Special News Correspondent

Washington, D. c., Feb. 7.-The
President seems to have taken q leaf
from the back Of a certain Congress-
man who used to represent Mis-
souri District in years gone by When
ever any man became annoying with
his opposition to the Congressman,
this member got the fellow a Job n
job go"i enough to put him out of The
fight, He didn't believe in rewarding
his friends SO much as in pensioninl,
his enemies. President Harding has
so mancuvcrcd as to secure the con
sent of Senator Kenyon to United
States Iudgship out in Iowa--w which
removes one Of the leaders Of the
Farm Bloc in the Senate. 1t will be
interesting 10 watch the melting
away Of that same Farm Bloc under
the seductive influence Of lifelong
appointments. Most men are so un-
certain as to their political future
that they are easily caught by the
iife-tenurc feature Of the job Kcny-
on will secure the place long held by
Judge, Walter |. Smith. Smith was a
conspicuous and growing figure in
Congress when he was given the
Jndgeship; he has hardly been heard
Of since. So it will be with Kenyon;
after Il few months he will have to
fall from ii tcnth-story window or
take the Presidency of base ball
league to get his name in the papers,
but he will have a lifetime job. An
other good man gone wrong, but it
gives the Democrats and Progressives
Of Iowa chance to get together and
select his successor. Amalgamation
IS the only logical thing for these
pf 4 l..
cnd--thc defect Of the reactionary
The name Of Harold d. Wilson will
go down in history as the man who
broke up the big Republican State
banquet at the Quincy House in Bos-
ton by confiscating the liquor. "Hcrc's
to the Grand Old Party, boys
drink 'er down" No man was ever
more viciously attacked than has
licans Of Massachusetts,, for simply
doing his sworn duty under the law
and his oath Of Office unless it was
another Wilson who got his mail at
No. 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wash
ington, ID. c., for eight years of un-
exampled prosperity. And, by the
way, a Farm Bloc in the Senate was
not needed in those days to protect
the farmer in his rights.
When the Anti-iynching Act comes
up in the Senate, it would be just like
Pat HARRISON to move to amend the
title so that it will read: "An Act
committing an assault on the Consti.
tuition Of the United States"
Speaking of the Anti-lynching Act
recently passed b ythc House, Mr.
Johnson, of Mississippi, printed il
