HOTTEST PLACE ON
EARTH IS DEATH VALLEY

Ten years of record obtained at the
United States Weather Bureau sub
station at Greenland ranch in Death
Valley. California, indicate that this
is the hottest region In the United
States, and probably on earth. The
average of extreme maximum tenn
p~erature reported to the United States
Department of Agriculture since 1911
has been 125 deg. F. At Greenland
ranch temperatures of 100 deg. F. or
higher occur almost daily during
June, July and August. The hottest
month on record is July, 1917. when
the mean temperature was 1912 deg.
F.. But the temperature of 1874 deg.
F. observed on July 10. 1918, is be-
lieved by meteorologists to be the
highest natural-air temperature yer

AMERICAN
ARE WINNING

The Ladies Home Journal has an
able editorial entitled 'Quicksands
Of Faith" that will find a hearty re-
Spouse In every American home.
1t shows that dirty plays, dirty
movies, and dirty books have not
do well. and that the public still
demands what is clean and whole
sorae. The big theatrical successes
Of the season are plays that the most
exacting parents would not hesitate
10 take their children to see.
Movies that are sufficiently clean
to pass any blue-law censorship draw
the biggest houses and are brought
oack to be run over and over. Plays
that omitted to emphasize and play
up any degenerate or morbid sex
motives, and show homely American
virtues on the screen get houses.
Clean stuff In the legitimate drama
and on the screen that is hugely sue
cessful is distinctively American and
pears no foreign label or faint.
The reeking o~rientialism that has
bean made such a feature of the SEN
satiou movies, and that is dragged
into 80 many of them, is worn stiff.
The caterers to American audiences
might as well understand that con-
troll and direction Of American enter
tainment is not going back to pagan
ism. The average American home
still pays its respects to all the de-
eencies and oid-fashioned standards
Of purity vital to honest men and wo-
q We may love . little jazzing
and rough stuff at times. for break
ing the monotony of life. but for a
steady diet Americans are distinctly
anti-jazz.
Theatres, publishers, and film pro-
ducers might as we'll understand this
and are learning 1t through their
pocketbooks-a thrilling education.
There is q theory that the great mas
OF the American people can be fed up
ON anything that has a given percent
age of artistic n~astiness in it. So
books, plays. movies, and a certain
type Of periodicals have been manu-
featured along ~proiteering lines that
are happily going bankrupt.
There will always be people with
easy money apd curiosity to make a
ahytef- golden harvest for the caterers
to various forms of degeneracy.

FORMER NEVADAM IS
HELD UNDER ARREST

Charles Van Duzer, former Elko
attorney and a representative from
Nevada in Congress for two terms.
has been arrested In Washington, ID.
c., according TO a clipping which the
Elko Free Press has taken from the
Washington Post. The article fol-
lows:
"once a member of the Law making
body Of the land. Clarence Dunn Van
Duzer, 5S years old, who describes
himself as an agent, is a prisoner in
the tenth precinct. He is wanted In
Knoxville, Tenn. on charges OF pass
ing worthless checks totaling $3.50.
ivan Duzer is a former Congress
man from Nevada. When a wire was
received al local police headquarters
| that he was wanted at the Tennessee
| city, Detective S~ergeants Darnell and
| Springman we're sent to search for
him in his rooms at the New Oxford
! hotel. He took his arrest calmly. He
was taken into custody here previous
ly on a warrant furnished by the Bal
timore police. He is alleged to have
obtained approximately $500 in that
city by means OF worthless checks.
He would not voluntarily return to
the Monumental City for trial and he
was given a hearing on extradition
proceedings. He was subsequently re-
leased on a writ of habeas corpus.
Since that time he has been at lib
erty.
"If the Tennessee authorities at
tempt to take Van Duzer into custody
1t is more than probable that the
Maryland authorities will make a
fight for his return to the latter State,
as he is wanted there on a more seri-
Gus offense.
up to a late hour the local police
had not heard from e. M. Haynes,
chief of police, Knoxville, Tenn, who
caused Van Duzer's arrest. In the
meantime the former Congressman
must remain a prisoner at the tenth
precinct. He is charged here with be-
ing a fugitive from Justice"
Van Duzer was a resident of Elko
County In the early days, where his
father was interested In mining, says
the Free Press. He later became pri-
rate secretary to the late Senator
Newlands, and while In this capacity
married a very charming woman In
Washington society, whose death &C.
Cured only about a year ago.
In 1900 Van Duzer returned to Ne
vada where he was successful In be-
elected to Congress on the Democrat
ic ticket, succeeding himself two
years later In a spirited contest in
which he defeated Judge Harrington.
1t was while he al living In Wash
ington that he interested several wo-
men in mining ventures In Nevada
which proved to be rather dubious.
Letters from some of his clients were
received here In Elko telling Of the
circumstances of these deals, and
when the letters we're published in
the Free Press Van Duzer came rush
ing back to Nevada, hired an array of
legal talent and threatened suit
against the Free Press for $4,000.
Realizing the hopelessness Of winning
his case he did not start 1t.
Van Duzer was a brother-in-law of
Marion Wilson, at one time district
attorney for Elko County. and at the
present time one OF the best known
lawyers in Denver.

is YOUR INCOME
TAX EXEMPT

An example for sharp investors
and a warning to the Government is
easily d~iscernible in the inventory
OF the estate of the late Jacob H.
Echiff, of the i~nternationl banking
flrm of Kuhn, Loeb & Company.
which has just been made public.
Over two-thirds of the Schif mil
lions was invested In tax-exempt So
curities.
The Boston News Bureau, in an
analysis of Mr.. Schih's financial stat
us, said that on the assumption of an
average income Of four per cent on
his holdings and none from Kuhn.
Loeb & Company his income for 1920
would have been $1,025,320.
IF such an income were fully tax
able" the bureaus analysis went on.
The would have paid ~$6S1,S33 to the
Federal Government, but the invest
ment in tax-exempt securities re-
duced the tax bill to $156,36O."
The largest single item Of the
Schiff inventory was $9,164,952 in
City of New York bonds. New York
long ago succumbed to the influence
of the sharp lnanciers who demanded
that the largest city be operated
chiefly on q bond basis, assuring a.
nancing tribute upon all municipal
improvements. Practically none of
Mr.. Schif's fortune was placed in in
dustrial quarters, nearly all being in
Investment" securities. which may
be defined az public bonds or bonds
and stocks Of such private enter
prises as have long since passed from
the hands Of the risk-taking devel-
opers to the control OF those who de-
mand assured dividends.
Mr.. Schif's policy in placing none
OF his money in the wildcat bond and
stock issues which bankers are eager
to float but not to buy for themselves,
Ii . wise q for investors to follow.
The magnitude Of the loss Of the
Government from tax-exemptions
should be q sound warning. 1t should
be the duty Of the Government to
make such simple tax laws that the
person Of small income shall be amp
ly protected, rather than to enact
measures filed with exceptions and
provisos, designed to tempt the cupid
ity Of t~ax-dodgers who r wealthy
enough to hire great stats Of lawyers
and experts to take advantages which
the man Of small income must miss.
