That Is, with something over ten
and half billions Of gross income,
the farmers paid nearly 100000. 900
to support local and national gov
ernment. II one includes some Of
the indirect taxes. like the tariff.
whose effect nobody can calculate
exactly. the total doubtless would be
raised above s700. .000.0 900. . ''.'f s.
What do these tax figures mean
to the average farmer7
Mr.. Howard says that the farm
sr's average profit In 1920 was only
s1ss. And his taxes apparently
amounted to almost 500. One
hundred dollars In taxes and less
than $500 profit. ....
That is something to startle an
economist and make q statesman
sit down and think. :.
Where the Burden Lies. =
Yet the farmer is not the hardest
pressed by present taxation. The
small townman has to pay not only
most of the taxes that a farmer pays,
but also some. stiff village taxes and
q lot Of special assessments. How
these growing burdens press down
m1hy families. every intelligent man
must have noticed. For instance:
The writer knew widowed mother
and widowed daughter In q suburban
village. Their regular income was
only $a,200 a year-$700 from in
vestments and 81 500 from the daugh.
ter's occupation in Chicago. They
owned their home and lived decently
until the taxes Of the last five years
were levied on them. Last year In
taxes and local assessments they
paid s700 out Of the $4,000 and then
gave up the struggle. They sold
their home, retired to that part OF
the country where they could live
most cheaply and now are spending
their capital or principal for their
daily bread, clothes and lodging.
Such cases are only too common just
In a few years the expenditures
of the National Government have
tripled. Those of the State gov,
ernment have doubled-gone from
half a million to q full billion.
Ohio's budget, for Instance, Is
three items what 1t was; Pennsyl-
vania's nearly four times; Wash
ington's nearly six times. Counties,
towns, and villages have spent
money just as fast-sometimes
much faster.
Taxes Tripled.
The writer knows small Eastern
villages. barely mentioned on the
map, where the taxes and assess
ments are three or four times
what they were q few years ago.
and the rage for improvements
at the taxpayers expense has
zone on through bad times and
good as IL the public purse and
private contributions had no limit
or bottom.
Only when one sees the victims
OF this extravagance selling IN
brokers' offices their little certih'
Gates of stock-one share, three
shares, five share holdings-in
order that, they mays keep going
only when one witnesses the pain
full economies and. the distressing
reluctance to draw down past
savings for the payment OF cur
rent household bills, can one realize
how vicious the waste at the State
and national capitals and how
cruel are its consequences.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 20.-The

commercializing competitive foot

Between amateur and profess

that cannot be spanned," the
coach said. "The ideals and ends
of the two are as far apart as the
poles. The athlete who chooses
one must give up the other.
"If professionalism were to

Analysis of the latest list oi
worlds records accepted by the
International Amateur Athletic
Federation show that out of some
80 odd standard events, the best
time or distance has been made by
American athletes in 81 contests.
This number, Urifle more than
one third Of the entire list of the
accepted records, is also greater
than the combined total of any
two other nations.
Americas nearest competitors
for the honor of leading the world
in the matter of record holders
is Great Britain, whose athletes
have marked up the best time or
distance in 28 events. Denmark
and Finland are tied for third
place, with z records each. No 9TH
er nation approaches the versatil-
ity of the American athlete, for
the United States performers have
established records in six out of
the seven groups of competition
into which the worlds records
events naturally divide themselves
The apportionment of worlds
records among the seven holding
nations is as follows:

KIDNAPPED
IRISHMEN
AREFREED
Members of Republi-
can Army Football
Team Released by
Order of Viceroy

Belfast, Feb. 20.-(By Associ-
ated Press. members Of the
Irish republican army football
team captured at Dromore last
month were released from the
Londonderry jail today, in con-
formity with the order issued last
night by Viscount Fitzalan, the
viceroy.
The situation in northern Ire
land is considerably calmer than
at any time during the last week,
and the fear Of a clash on the
southern frontier has dwindled.
The rival forces, however, retain
their positions along the border
and hope is expressed that the
next few days will see them with
drawn.
Prosecution Dropped.
Meantime the joint liaison com
missions are understood to have
begun their operations. Two Brit
ish officers and two officers of the
Ulster special constabulary form
the northern commission with
headquarters at Clogher; the
southern commission comprises
the three brand and provisional
government officers, with their
base at Monaghan. They will ap-
parently institute sort of patrol,
keeping in touch with each other
and using their influence where
1t may be needed in the interest
of peace.
1t is stated unofficially that the
decision to release the Irish re-
publican army football players
from the Londonderry jail was
reached when the northern gov
ernment informed the British gov
ernment that 1t had abandoned its
intention to prosecute the men.
Belfast remains quiet, and the
cost OF the recent violence Is be-
ing reckoned. Aside from the
numerous deaths and injuries
there are monetary claims for
compensation amounting to more
than 100000 pounds sterling.

for public discussion. The foreign
office action, however, it was
stated, by an Official today did not
mean that Mrs. Sanger would be
denied admission by Japan.
Statements that she would not
be permitted to land in Japan
were incorrect, he declared. On
the contrary, she would undoubt-

ganda.
