OF SALMON
 TAX AT SOURCE A FAiLui

OLYMPIA. Jan. 26.-Pretty as the theory is the idea of collecting salmon taxes at the source of supply has not worked out satisfactorily to the fish .eries board and the food fish depart ment. The argument is attractive that a catch tax ought to be easy but the trouble is there has been no col lector present when the salmon is lift ed from the water, and somehow too many of them escape their share of the burden of taxation.
 Also the fisheries department is seeking the passage of law that will effectively prohibit the taking of i'm mature salmon from the Pacific ocean and selling them in this state.

 IN NEED OF BUSINESS MEN

There is widespread feeling that if few hard-headed business men were given the task of settling the European trouble, it would require but a few hours to Straighten out the whole affair. Possibly this is an eX- aggeration, but it is accurate in re flecting the conviction that politics and greed are the primary considers ton of the powers which are constant ly at loggerheads. Every declslon reached by the premiers or other rep resentatives at the foreign conferences is dictated by political consideration.
 When France officially acts, those in power are animated by desire to hold the reins of government. when inc voice of England is heard, through it accredited envoys, it is intended to perpetuate the party in power To large extent that is a national sltua, tion, but the danger is that the spokes- man for the various peoples play on their prejudices in such way as to make matters not better, but worse. If it were possible to strip the nego- tiations over separations Of their po- Htical attributes and deal with them solely on business basis, as business men would do, within a month tn" whole affair would be adjusted in a why that might benefit all concerned.
 To expect such an arrangement to be made, however, is to look for the practically impossible. In European affairs, politics, growing out of long standing hatreds, will continue to rule until the nations are bled white.

U. S. MADE FRIGHTFUL sLUNDER

According to The Worlds Work, all thoughtful Americans now perceive clearly that their country made a frightful blunder when it refused to accept a mandate for the Ottoman empire, adding that there would have been no mess" had America gone in.
 If all thought Americans feel that way about it there are not many thoughtful persons in the country. Any advantages accruing from America taking mandatory over any European country would be offset by the dan gers of being drawn into a war over such mandatory.
 If the Worlds Work were to walk down any street in New York and take a referendum on the question we wear it would find about ninety-nine out of every hundred ''thoughtless low -browed, and inconsequential."

Interesting Facts About the
Month OF May

Nav is the fifth month on the caleE-
dar and derives its name from the
Roman goddess Maia, mother of Mer-
curry, and patrOness of growth and in
crease The poetic Romans sought
always to live a significance to the
names Of months and seasons. All
over the world, following the temper
ate zone of the northern hemisphere,
May is the month Of rare spring
flowers, the month of budding forth
of vernal things, the planting Of
grains and the preparation by man Of
the good, red earth for the harvest TO
come later by which he lives.
The first of May or MAY day" II
English history represents time OF
rejoicing because the icy blasts of
winter are past. The flowers az
green boughs and leaves are picked
and placed around the Maypole while
the young folk dance and sing.
This custom persisted in Englan
until the Puritans under Cromwe /
stopped it as being frivolous When
the merry Stuarts came back into
power they restored the harmless an
picturesque event. And so it persists
in parts of England to this day.
In America as in some other coun
tries the first day of May has a SIMS
ter meaning in late years as labor
troubles usually start on this day.
Workmen going on strike assume that
battle can be won if begun early in
the season.
Noted people whose natal day was
in May are:
Joseph Addison, Horace Mann, Rob
ert Browning, Linnaeus, Fahrenheit,
Plato, Alexander Pope, Richard Wag-
ner, Queen Victoria, Ralph Waldo En-
erson, Dante, Agassiz and Patrick

Some Coed Advice to Young
Persons Contemplating MatrimOny

An Illinois minister hands out from
the pulpit some timely wisdom as fol-
lows:
Don't marry the young woman who
allows herself to float around the
neighborhood in an automobile until
two o'clock in the morning with 4
counterfeit sport with weak jaw and
weaker morals, as her companion.
Don't marry the young woman who
has been paved over by every zap
in the community. And, girls, dom
marry the young fellow who has been
doing these things. Don't tie up for
life to tin-horn sport whose sole
ambition is to suck cigarets and sow
wild oats"

from the town of Green City, Mo,
where the school board concluded to
require the teachers to refrain from
dancing, the use Of tobacco in any
form and keeping company with stu
dents OF the opposite sex. But mix
up occurred in the wording of the
contract so that these requirements
apply to the members Of the board in
stead of the teachers AS all the part

well to let it stand and see if the

ranches on the western slope. Most
of the farming and raising Of crops
are done on the western slope, as
there is plenty of rain. Due to the
high mountains, the rain clouds can
not pass over and so most OF the rain
falls on the other side. Large guam
titles of fruit are raised on the west
ern slope and sent to the eastern
states.
The raising of head lettuce is quite
an industry farther up in the noun
tains. Elk are found in large num-
bers and are OF allowed to be killed
Last summer a man lost his entire

Repeating Another
NOuSpnSicaI Law.

The Herald considers the repeal Of
the Wisconsin s0-Called "eugenic
law" as a sensible move.
The law requires the medical ex-
animation of male applicants for
marriage license and a certificate
from the examiner showing the appli-
cant to be free of veneral disease
Well intentioued as the law may be
it does not apply to females and is
not fair. Neither will public opinion
support the inference that females
should be subjected to examination.
Whether or not the examination is
genuine is a matter of opinion. No
doubt it often is No doubt also it is
often perfunctory to say the least and
in any case a Wasserman test for sy-
philitic faint is not administered.
Syphilis cannot be thoroughly de-
tected otherwise.
Under the present law parties OBJ
tanning license outside Of the state
are under unfair suspicion. From all
standpoints the law should be re-
pealed.

THE FIRST Food Profiteer.

Says Prof William Lyon Phelps d
Yale University: "Esau came in from
hunting with a hunters appetite:
and the smell of cooking was too
much for him as Jacob had expected.
So when he asked for food he found
he had to pay his birthright for It..
This privilege seemed to him an emp
ty honor in comparison with eating;
and like many other men, he sacri-
feed the future for immediate and
material good. The author of the Iot~
ter to the Hebrews condemned Esau
Tor selling his birthright; but from
our point of view Jacob is to be more
condemned for buying it. He was the
first and the most contemplate in the
Dong list of food profiteers."

MADISON, April 26.-The Wiscon-

Sunday baseball, movies, dances and
other amusements when it engrOssed
the Grain bill to amend the Wiscon-
