WANTED

This section needs a few good golf players. We are not very
we'll posted on the rules of the game as played elsewhere but we
are quite impressed with the possibilities of the sport as exempl-
fled by the expert players of this vicinity. OF course 1t is to
hazy in nomenclature and in the finer points OF technique, but
those who devote a fair share of their time in following the sport
seems to get the results and after ALL that is what counts in the end.
Although in most of the famous golf courses the services OF a tech
nical expert is necessary in laying out the field, in this locality
nature has been more than liberal in providing natural courses
which are available in any direction from Belt Our rural denizens
are enthusiasts, so much so that they gladly supply the %parapher-
MALTA and not only that but welcome good players to their private
courses. They take almost a professional pride in their favorte
implements of the game and are ready at any time to expound the
fine points of those put out by the more popular manufacturers.
Professional golf enthusiasts might possibly be somewhat
puzzled at the peculiar forms our local tools of the game take, but
we guarantee they would soon get used to the feel of the most ex-
celent "brassies" put out by the John Deere Co, while those
"mashies" fashioned by the Mccormick people have gained a ma
tional reputation. The l. H. c. company also fabrGates a very
excellent "nibick" that has many ardent admirers among the
local enthusiasts.
These specimens of golf paraphernalia are radical departures
from the original forms, but have been found to give excellent re-
suits or the local courses. The "brassese have a medium long
shank, are well balanced with just the right turn at the head.
The work best in the smooth" and when the three wel-shaped
lowed by a loft, the 'hole" in the rack is made in zone" The
"mashie" is fashioned more for the trough" and better results are
attained with this instrument in the hazard" of a field of spuds.
Welded with precision. local experts have been known to double
the yield in a two-acres field. It's principal use is to fashion tees"
with q thrifty bunch of potatoes or corn stocks as the central
the 'brassie' only in a lighter form. 1t is very useful in surmount-
ing a difficult bunker" of shocked wheat or oats. 1t is for quick,
sharp work and has been found ideal for the purpose.
In our local golf fields form" is not stressed, but energy and
activity are held as favorable points in playing the game, and while
it has been said that no man under fifty should devote any time to
golf the sentiment here is that the best rusults are obtained by
those in their athletic prime. There Is nothing senle or decrepit
in the way golf is played in the Belt valley.

Tax reduction is the live question of every western state. A
large part of the blame for our present tax burdens can be laid on
the shoulders of our public officials who have deliberately expand
ed governmental functions and jobs under the guise of furnishing
great benefits to the public On the other hand, it is useless and
Ihypocritcal for the public to try and shift all blame for the present
tax situation onto public officials. A citizen who has had the
right to vote should, on exercising this privilege, think twice be-
fore heedessly endorsing measures which he can see will increase
the tax bill.
Our government will be just as good as the intelligence of the
people make it. Our tax bill will be just as heavy as the reckless
ness, thoughtlessness, and indifference of the people allow it to
be made. The American family that takes no thought of expense,
buys everything it sees, goes into debt for things that it cannot
pay for at the moment, fails to teach thrift and economy to the
children and overlooks the important idea of living within its
means, is headed for bankruptcy, collectively and individually.
AS with the family, SO with the state, The voter must realize that
extravaganza in public expenditures is taking money OUT of his
pocket, just as surely as extravaganza in home expenditures. Re-
duced taxation, economy and efficiency in government will be Sc
cured Just as soon as the people realize that they are voting to
spend their own money when voting for men and measures which
increase the tax bill.
Run the state as you would run your home, let public expend-
itures be within the means of the people to pay and let public
debt be piled up only with the full knowledge that the day of reck-
oning will come and that the people, not the public officials, will
have to foot the bill.

We read in the papers today of mines opening in every west
ern state. In some sections renewed operations are delayed by
scarcity of experienced miners. After the stagnation experienced
for the past year in western metal mines and communities de-
pendent upon this industry for prosperity, the changed condition
is most gratifying. With metals selling on a peace time basis the
question of taxation will play a most important part n the future
ability of western mines to operate profitably and develop new
properties. Every western state should take pride in its metal
mines which are producing gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and other
metals establishing new uses for western metals and adding thous-
ands of new employees to western payroIs.
Tax measures aimed at this industry on the theory that 1T is
an easy target for attack should be frowned upon and everything
possible done to encourage its operation and expansion.

HORRORS OF

The American people as a whole never had much use for so
cialism or kindred Utopian falacies and what they are now learn
ing about the actual workings of communistic government is not
popularize the dreams of those who would substitute it for our
present system, imperfect as it is. Eleanor Frances Egan, who
spent a large part of last winter in Russia, is no stranger to its
horrors, suffering, misery and degradation, having devoted a large
part of her time beginning with the war-torn fields of the great
European struggle, and following up with studies of conditions in
Austria, Roumania, Armenia, following the war, thence to the
famine districts of China, giving her observations to the world
through the columns of the Saturday Evening Post, and in her lat
est contributions regarding conditions as she found them in Russia
last winter. she is free to say that what she saw there transcends
anything in her previous experience. Miss Egan is an American,
a gifted and discerning writer, q world traveller of broadened
mind, and conservative in judgment and statement of facts. The
marshaling of the facts of her experience in Russia is a master
piece Of intense human interest, and absolutely convincing to the
most preJud1ced reader. No American who follows her in imagin-
alton a. she travels among the unfortunate victims of a looted ma

GUARD TIL FOREST

The dry season is here and has made our forest sections g verl-

passes through our forests should consider themselves deputy
fire wardens and see that no careless act of their own or any
other person under their supervision adds to the fire hazard IN
our forests.
The smoke of burning forests is a signal and warning to all.
1t should teach that an excess of caution, a most metculous care,
is only wise. Vacationists of all varieties, who seek the ancient,
friendly shelter of the forest. should look to their camp fires and
their burned -matches-not only because the law requires that
they do so. but because common sense and self-iHterest requires
caution of them. None would Willingly be the source OF a destruc-
ton so calamitious and irremediable as a forest fire.

convinced us that the system of electric light of the learned phys

Miss Egan is authority for the statement that the most con-
servative observers of the Russian situation attribute 80 per cent
of the desperate condition of that unhappy country to the results
of communism. According to Miss Egan, Russia as a paradise for
the workingman is a bursted bubble. In fact, it is a land of death
by starvation and disease, of horrors unnamable, a dreary, desc
late abode of misery, filth and suffering inconceivable to the
American mind unless viewed at first hand.

McCumber Tells Senators He Hopes to Have Bonus Bill
 Before Chamber Soon

WASHINGTON, Apr 15.-Because of the absence from Washington of Chairman McCumber, the meeting Of senate finance committee Republi- cans, planned for Monday, to consider procedure in the handling of the sol diers' bonus bill, has been postponed. It probably will be held about the middle of next week.
 President Harding's desire that the senate pass the tariff bill before act ing on the bonus is known to coincide with the desires of some Republican leaders, but Senator McCumber has told senators that he hoped to have the bonus bill reported within q week It was his plan to have the tariff bill laid aside so as to bring the bonus bill to a vote.
 Several substitute plans for the house bill with it's bank loan provis- ion have been discussed informally among finance committee Rcpubli- cans, but indications are that ma. jority of them lean toward the house bill, with a possible elimination or amendment of the land settlement section.
