The people Of the United States are
gradually becoming accustomed to the
right Of woman serving on the various
court juries. The recent term in Em-
mons county saw women serving for
the first time. Two Of them acted on
cases, and each of them served ~
foreman Of . jury. What has been
the result from the viewpoint Of
the women serving, and what has
been the result from the viewpoint Of
the public3 :
In all probability, women serving
upon juries will tend to bring about
more courteous conduct on the part Of
jurymen. It is probable that women
az class will be more honest in their
verdicts, although possibly a little
less amenable to argument. General
~ speaking when a woman has an
opinion she doesn't give in easily.
And they take the duties Of service
more serious than the average man.
So much for the effect on litigation.
Now what about the woman who
serves? If women are to be called
for Jury service, better accommoda-
lions will have to be provided. EN-

are looking to the new board to make
IN honest effort to cut unnecessary

work Tor the county give full value
therefore. No board can cut the
taxes out entirely, or cut them down
to what they were q few years ago.
But there is room for considerable
improvement over past experience.
The Record has no axe to grind with

to criticise II the new board doesn,t

SENATE STUNTS
BONUS To TAKE
Up COAL PLANS
Smoot Offers Amendment to
McCumber Bill Providing
for Sales Tax.

The soldiers bonus bill was side
,racked in the Senate today SO that
consideration of coal legislation
might be continued.
Senator Smoot yesterday offered
d sales tax amendment to the bill,
providing a levy of one-fourth OF
per cent on the sale of every article
or commodity manufactured or i'm
ported, the money thus raised to be
used to defray the cost of the SOL
diers' compensation.
The amendment accords with sug.
gestions made by the Hearst news.
papers and in the petitions bearing
millions of signatures which have
been presented to Congress asking
that the sales tax be employed in
financing the bonus.
1t is also in line with the firm
stand taken by President Harding
that he would disapprove any bonus
bill that did not contain a sales tax
feature.
The President reiterated this posi-
ton in an interview with a promi-
nent Republican Senator at the
White House, who was told that the
President has not altered his mind
in any degree. and that the McCum-
be vetoed unless the sales tax provi.
sion is Incorporated.
The Senate devoted several hours
to debate on the McCumber bill yes
terday, Senators New OF Indiana.
Reed of Pennsylvania and Myers OF
Montana speaking In opposition to
IL, and Bursum Of New Mexico in its
support.
Senator Smoot offered his sales
tax amendment first as a substitute
for the entire McCumber bill, and in
another form as an amendment to
the bill, attaching II to supply the
deficiency in the latter, which makes
no provision for raising the bonus
fund. The essential feature OF the
amendment Is as follows:
That, in addition to all other
taxes, there shall be levied, collected
and paid (a) upon every commodity
manufactured or produced when
sold, leased or licensed for consump.
ton or use without further process
of manufacture. a tax equivalent to
one-fourth of ! per cent OF the price
for which such commodity is sold.
leased or licensed, such tax to be
paid by the manufacturer or pro-
ducer. and (b) upon every commodity
manufactured or produced in a coun.
try other than the United States.
when imported into the United
States for consumption or use with
out further process Of manufacture.
a tax equivalent to one-fourth OF
per cent of the value at port OF entry
OF such commodity, such tax to be
paid by the importer"
The amendment provides that the
sales tax shall not be applied to sales.
leases or licenses made during any
year in which the total price for
which the taxable sales. leases or
licenses are made does not exceed
$4,000. nor to sales or refined gold
or silver.

FALL CALLED
ON CARPET"| IN
OIL LAND DEAL
Secretary Is Detained by
President for An Hour Fol-
lowing Cabinet Session.
ssTlsA1IioslI sIss stIl
BY Universal Service.

Revelations OF the secret agree
ment entered into between Secre'
tary OF the Interior Fall and the
Sinclair oil interests. whereby the
latter were granted monopoly
in supplying fuel oil to the navy.
were the subject OF a White House
conference yesterday.
Publication Of this agreement
within the last week is Understood
to have been responsible for Sec
retary Fall remaining closeted
with President Harding for nearly
an hour after the other Cabinet
members had left the White House
yesterday.
Secretary Fall refused to com.
ment upon his conference with
the President. There was no
statement forthcoming from the
White House as to the result of
the meeting to indicate whether
the Administration Contemplates
ary iurtner action.
Publication OF the incidents lead.
ing 10 the private agreement BE-
tween Secretary Fall and Harry
+. Sinclair is understood 10 be
causing grave concern 10 the Ad-
mlniStratiOn. Details show that
the negotiations between Fall and
Sinclair began in the latter's pri.
vate car last January on a siding
near Falls ranch at Three Rivers,
\. NJ, and continued through.
out the subsequent trip to Ken.
lucky and Washington. At no
time was there any competitive
bidding. Sinicair being the only
negotiator for the valuable Gil rights
on the Teapot Dome fields in
Wyoming.
II is charged that under the
terms of the contract signed by
Fall and Sinclair the Govern
ment will lose $4,000. 900 in addi.
tionn to a possible $4,000. 900 bonus.
and that all oil developed from the
Teapot Dome reservation will be
sold to the navy at market prices
arbitrarily established by the SIN
clair companies in agreement with
the Standard OIL Company.
The contract has been openly
condemned by Gov. Robert D.
Carey OF Wyoming and probably
will be the object of further at.
tacks i'm Congress.
