MANY PROTEST
AGAINST SALES
TAX FOR BONUS
Believed Harding's Plar,
May Garry to Prevent
Scrapping Legislation.

Washington. Fob. 17.-Pay the

sales tax. or postpone the legisaa-
tion, was President HArdtnS's adj
uoo to the senate
Chairman Fordney of the
house ways n means COM
m.ttcc, and Chairman McCumbcr
OF the senate finance committee
said they did not think the bonus
would be postponed, but yer
silent as to . sales tax.
Leaders Of the agricultural
blocs were outspORcn, however,
against this tar and Threatened to
counter with q program which
would include reenactment Of the
exccas profits and higher income
surtaxes and an increase in In
heritance and some other such

This plan also was favored by some
Democratic leaders.
Plan May Be Adopted.
Proponents of a sales tax professed
TO be confident that because of the
strong desire in both the house and
senate to put through the bonus bill
at this session, a majority of the
members would come to accept this
levy rather than see the bonus pro-
gram defeated.
Pending more careful consideration
of the whole problem and a possible
further reaction from the country,
there seemed to be a disposition on
all sides to nov slowly. The presi-
dents letter, addressed to Represen-
tatve Fordney, was read at a joint
meeting of Republican members OF
tho house and senate committees
dealing with the bonus question, who
agreed after some discussion to ltave
the matter in the hands of the ma
iortty members of the house COM

It was announced that these mem

Leaders generally, both Republican
and Democratic, said it vas too early
to undertake any predictions as tc
whether If the issue finally came dowr
to that, the bonus bill with a sales

Chief Lon Story Pays Selmer
A Short Visit

Lon Story, chief of the govern
ment prohibition department for
West Tennessee, and deputy
Connie H. Boyd. were in Selmer
Tuesday and called in to see us.
Mr.. Story is well known in this
section, having been sheriff of
Hardin county for twenty years.
He is one of the most courageous
and fearless men in the service,
and the government made no
mistake when they selected Lon
Story for chief Of this depart
ment.

You would have a hard time
convincing those defendants in
the Federal court at Memphis
that the law enforcing authorities
are careless and Indifferent about
the violations of the law. You
would likewise have some diff
Guilty in convincing them that the
law does mot prohibit. I" Uncle
Sam has a way of having his
laws indicated, however, and in
his manner Of enforcement there
is shown no preference. When
the whole of his machinery is pat
in motion there is not much
chance for the violator to escape.

We do not know why it is that
in the middle of the winter they
commence to talk about the
miners striking and the railroad
employees all waking out at once.
It looks as if the fellows who
operate the mines and the rail
roads and other great enterprises
where labor is employed and the
fellows who do the work required
for what they get out Of the work
would some day determine to
meet one another in the proper
spirit, when there could be a bet
ter understanding; when each
would treat the other on the
square; when each might be made
to know that it is necessary that
all must survive; and when real
differences might be discussed,
then we would quit hearing so
much about labor troubles and
dissatisfaction. The agitators
would have to go to work with
the rest, and he whose loose talk
and little work does so much to
produce and promote discord and
unrest would play out. These
people who earn THEN bread by
the sweat of their faces just need
to understand the ones for whom
they work. Then men who reap
the benefits from this labor must
understand the ones who toll
for them. The situation, after
a |, is not a complex one. A lack
of understanding, and a DISPOSE
tim to go on, anyhow. is what
makes trouble.

McNairy county isn't such an
lad county in which to
hve read the court proceedings.

What the world wants right
now is universal peace, and there
is not much concern about how
it comes or by what name it is
called. Any man or group of
men who can evolve a plan by
which war may be averted, and
restore orderly procedure
throughout a disturbed weary
world, will be called blessed by
the nations and the peoples of
the earth.

The Pope of Rome has sue
cumbed to the ravages of pneu-

the efforts of the most skillful
physicians in the world, perhaps.
The head of the Roman Catholic
Church was hell in high esteem
by the nations of the earth, and
during the recent world war ex-
erted his influence to the end
that the conflict might cease and
peace again be restored.
