MEMORY, SWEET MEMORYi
(Columbus in BelOit Gazette)

Only the other day we heard a
substantial citizen Of this county
make the assertion that the Harding
administration had brought far worse
conditions than either Of the Demo-
cratic administrations since the Civ1l
war. Either the man was talking
for the sole purpose of tickling his
own ears, or he was troubled with
that most common of complaints, for
getfulness, as we distinctly remem-
ber Of hearing the same party cuss-
ing the world at large and the Unit
ed States in particular after selling
several hundred bushels Of wheat at
35 cents per bushel. That was In
1894 under the second Cleveland ad-
ministration. Going .still farther
back to the first Cleveland admin
istration we recall that hogs sold al
$3.50 per hundred pounds and that
fat steers brought less than $4.50
per hundred on the Chicago market
In fact we recall being present al
the Union Stock Yards in Chicago on
a certain June morning in 1885
when the best train load of fa'
steers ever shipped from Mitchell
county sold at $4.35 per hundred
pounds and it cost at that time 81
cents per hundred to ship cattle tt
that market. The steers referred tt
were choice in every respect, having
been fed corn for twelve months ant
having reached Chicago in fine con

VIEWS ON THE BONUS
capper. Curtis and Strong Write Of
Motor Tax


The automobile dealers OF Abilene
last week wired to Senators Capper
and Curtis their protest against a tax
on automobiles by horsepower and
on gasoline to help pay bonus. say
ing that 1t would be burden to
every farmer and be an unjust tax.
The replies follow:
Capper Against IL
Senator Capper wrote: ~ am op-
posed to It. that Is, shall favor some
other plan of raising the money. We
are up against the most difficult
problem that has come before con-
gress In a long time. The soldiers
are insisting on the bonus and there
seems to be no doubt but the bonus
will pass, but everybody Is protest
ing against the tax"
Curtis Win Consider
Senator Curtis said: II note what
you say In regard to certain legisla-
ton now pending in congress, and as
sure you your suggestions will bt
brought to the attention Of the com.
mittee and the same will be given
very careful consideration by me
Always glad to hear from you or
subjects in which you are inter
ested."
Strong Explains
Congressman Strong says: I'VE
are having q hard time to agree OF
how to raise the money for adjustet
compensation for the ex-service men
Nearly everybody agrees that the!
are entitled to it, but nobody want
to pay the taxes. Whenever a tn!
is proposed those upon whom 1t will
fall get busy and kilograms and let
tiers OF protest roll in. I was advises
this morning that 1t took a truck t
carry the mail to the White Hous
protesting against different forms o
taxation, while every member o
congress is having like objections
It Is thought 1t would not be wis
to issue bonds at this time for fea
of interfering with the financial situa
tion and retarding business oppor
tunlties throughout the country.
am very much against turn over 9
general sales tax. believe that
small manufacturers and jObbers
tax would be the least Objectionable
but we cannot raise additional larg
sums of money without added taxa
tion. Be sure that l am active
trying to prevent any unfair or III
Just tax from being adopted and
think the friends Of agriculture al
strong enough in the house to prote'
, agricultural states from any unfai
discriminatory taxes. The bills passe
to relieve agricultural conditions al
bringing results and I believe "
