Shadows Before

Acting upon the theory that coming events cast
their shadows before Jack Dempsey now has two spots
TO watch
One is the Carpenter-Le Lewis date in London this
week. The other is the Greb- -Tunney meeting late in
May.
If Carpenter cleans up Lewis in a round or two. as
he should and once more mprefses London promoters,
we may easily have another Dempsey Carpenter test
set this time for the European market
Later on, if Cireb should overwhelm Gene Tunnev
and so become light heavyweight Champion there is
then promise of Dempsey Creb afternoon or evening
later in the summer.
From the cluster that comprises CARPENTER Greb
Tunney and Wills things are looking up again for
the champion, who may have a chance to leave
the bread line for some steady employment
Leaving Dempsey out the winner of the Tunney-
Greb contest will then be in line to entertain Carpener
for the lightheavyweght title, therein bringing on one
of the tall spots of the year

are taken from them when they wear
Jail clothing. We are told that IN
some places the jailer does not con-
slider it necessary to return these ar
ticles when the man is released. One
prisoner who was transferred to u
penitentiary was refused $12 left in
his pocket when he entered Jail to
await trial. The prisoner was help
less. The superintendent of the pen
itentiary learned of the instance {
however, and wrote letter which
brought the $12 by return mail.
So long as the fee system and poll
tics are associated with our innumer-
able county 1ails, the situation cannot
be much improved, Doctor budding
believes. Here and there where in
vestigations are held or officials are
honest and take a personal interest
in the welfare of their charges, there
are jails which are fit for human be-
ings to live i'm
The remedy, according to Doctor
budding, is to make Jail officials civil
service appointees. He thinks that If
the federal government were to su-
pervise these institutions and inspect
them vigorously once a month, condi-
tons would be bound to improve.
The next best thing would be state
control of the county institutions for
prisoners. This would be easier to
bring about than federal control.
Doctor budding also thinks that by
limiting Jail officials to fixed salaries,
of reasonable size, and by having a
strict system OF accounts and super
vision, our medieval jails could be
made considerably more up-to-date

the following appeal: please send
me the names of farmers interested in
reducing taxes" Why does Mr.. Brady
oonfine his request to farmers? Is
not everybody, regardless of occupa-
ton. interested in reducing taxes"
A majority of the members of the
Kansas house of representatives are
farmers, yet the legislature in its last
session increased taxes to a point
hitherto unknown in the state. The
effort being made to work up senti-
ment against high taxes seems wholly
unnecessary. There is enough oppo-
sition to high taxes already in exist
ence to elect to the governorship any
man who can win its support.

THE MATTER or TAXES.

The loud demand for reduction in
taxes now being heard should, in the
opinion of some students of econoIfi-
les, include a demand for a revision
of the tax laws already on the statute
books. Nothing, they claim, could be
more calculated to inspire confidence
in the business outlook.
The present inequalities in our
statutes governing the levying and
collection of revenues, it is held, are
doing more to retard. business devel-
opment than anything else. When the
income tax returns are made on
March Is of this year, congress is
likely to be greeted with a disagree
able surprise in respect to the man.
ner in which revenue has fallen off.
Billions of dollars will have made
their legal escape into tax exempt Sc
curities, and the loss of profits result
ing from unjust taxation methods will
add further emphasis to the depletion
of governmental income.
The funds that should be going into
constructive enterprise are now being
diverted into tax exempt bonds for
public improvements that may or may
not be needed. Municipal credit is no
higher than before. In fact, it is not
SO good as it used to be because debts
are mounting and taxation is becom-
ing more burdensome. However, in
vestors are putting their money into
this class of securities, not so much
because they believe them to be I'M
impeachably sound, but thru the fear
of losing income by investing in any
thing else.
Another unfavorable reaction is rep
resented by the manner in which con-
structive enterprises are being starved.
Funds that should be used for in
creasing the Observation-Disclosures Of pro-
duction and improving the means of
distribution are being diverted into
tax exempt nunicipals. The railroads
need money, but it will not be forth
coming readily until the investor re-
ceiyes more assurance not only
against restrictive regulation, but also
that taxation will not reduce his re-
turn to a point that he is not justified
in assuming the risk.
Worse even than excessive taxation
is unequal and unjust taxation. There
is no more striking example of unjust
taxation than the system of levying
on the peoples debts. The federal
census shows that a large percentage
of the homes and farms of Kansas are
mortgaged. The owners of these
properties are taxed on their full
value. This system cannot be justi-
fled on the ground that the mortgages
are taxed first, because the mort
cages as a rule do not pay taxes and
second, because if they did double
taxation would result

NumDGF Two.
The difference between marrying a
bachelor wipes off his slate before he
is married, and his wife has no means
Of knowing who preceded her in his
affections, whereas the wife of
widower has got line on him. She
knows the name of the woman he
loved, and therefore has tangible
subject on whom to center her
jealousy.
This being the case, it is, of course,
objectionable stupidity in a man to be
continually singing his first wife's
praises to his second wife. She would
rather be f1ayed with scorpions than
have him tell her how blessed he has
been in getting two such good wives,
or that she makes as good pies as his
first wife used to make, or even that
the reason that he fell in love with
her was because she reminded him
so much of his sainted Maria.
He thinks, poor boob. that he is
showing her what faithful soul he
has, and paying her a compliment
and it never occurs to him that she
has to sit on her hands to keep from
throwing the crockery at him, and
chew her tongue half off to prevent
her from screaming at him that there
isn't a woman alive, or dead, from
Lucrezia Borgia down, that she
wouldn't rather be like than his first
wife.
Yet the women who so bitterly hate
these poor, dead women should in all

BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

TO THE CRITICS.
Be not so quick to criticize.
You may not know or understand
The reason for the faltering hand:
Some things are hidden from your eyes,
4 heavy heart may lie behind
What once you thought brilliant mind
Be not so quick to jibe or seer,
Ne man is always at his best,
And who is troubled or distressed
And is prey to doubt or fear,
Deserves your pity, not your blame,
When he has failed to play the game.
Be not so quick to take offense.
Sometimes the hasty, hurtful word
By which your bitterness Is stirred,
Is born of suffering intense:
His temporary lapse forget.
Perhaps his nerves were all upset
Oh, there is much we cannot see.
And much at times we cannot know;
To all of us come days Of woe
And nights Of sleepless misery,
And no man. when he's SO distressed,
Can be himself or at his best.

forward toward the elimination of
the drive against high prices. Con-
fercnces between federal and state
officials have been held in New York
City and will take place in other
states looking to prosecutions that will
be instituted against profiteers. It. is
the intention OF Mr.. Daugherty. it Is
reported. to have most OF the actions
brought under state laws but with
the full cooperation OF the federal
authorities. The attorney general has
conferred with Secretary of Com
MERGE Hoover and Secretary of Labor
Davis, and they have decided to name
n Joint commission of three to conduct
a national inquiry into costs. The in
formation obtained will be the basis
for such actions as may be instituted
In federal or state courts. There is
something familiar about this pro-
posed program. President Wilson's

The Union Pacific railroad is re-
ported to have ordered 4,500 new box
cars. Including 1000 steel automobile
cars. 1t is declared that the road will
spend Approximately S10,oO0,o0o on
new equipment this year to care for
the 'fneYitable resumption OF traffic"
When leading railroad officials not
only believe that the resumption of
business is at hand, but are willing to
spend millions in support of that be-
lief, it is pretty good evidence that
their views are sound. other roads have
followed the policies OF the Union Pa
cific. so that when the resumption
comes transportation facilities should
be adequate to handle it.
