RADIO

Herbert Hoover heads Uncle SANS
gropers for way to enable amateurs
to use the wireless unrestrictedly
without cluttering up the air with
messages of same wave length.
The way, when found, will permit
pEivaey-wireless conversation, with
outsiders unable to listen in.
Inventors will find the way. Ten
years ago, many scientists hooted the
idea of sending several phone mes
sages over the same wire simultan-
eously, one couple unable to hear the
others. Invention has accomplished
that marvel.

Cash bonuses, totaling $191, $780,

by 13 states. Additional $156,50O,-

Sometimes Americans forget that
their country is a league of 48 coun-
tries (states), some of them individ-
ualiy as powerful and important as
nations like Belgium.
Too often, the state neglects its
duty, passes the buck to slow mov-
ing Uncle Sam. Not SO, in some states,

In many other public problems
the states should act without waiting

HARDING FOR
SALES TAX TO
RAISE BONUS
In Letter Suggests Proposal Be
Dropped Unless His Plan Is
Adopted

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Presi-
dent Harding informed congress to-
day he considered a general sales tax
the only feasible method of raising
funds for the soldier bonus. In a
letter to the financial committees of
congress he suggested that unless
congress sees fit to enact such a tax,
passage of bonus legislation should
be temposarily postponed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The
enactment of sales tax as the only
practicable means of raising money
for the proposed soldier bonus was
stated to be the view of President
Harding by Representative Nicholas
Longworth, of Ohio, after call to-
day at the White House.
Such an executive view was also
reflected by Senator Frelinghuysen,
of New Jersey, who called at the
White House while the presidents
letted was in the course of prepara-
ton.

The Indians have seen good
many reverses in changing their
mode of living from the natural to
the artificial, from the buffalo and
the fish to cattle and ! plants that
have to be watered and dug around,
and now that they have established
their first cooperative industry
with nearly million dollars at
stake. they look with considerable
interest upon the attitude Of the
white farmers in responding to their
invitation to come and see their
goods and if possible, lay the founda-
dons for future business. It is the
earnest desire of the Indians to get
into permanent business that shall
yield profit, and to so conduct
their traffic with the white men that
