KEEPING THE TAXES DOWN.

Recently there appeared a
statement that at the end of the
fiscal year surplus existed in
the treasury.
When it was suggested that a
reduction of taxes might follow,
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah
warned the public that taxes
could not be reduced. The Utah
Senator is more frank than some
other Senators and does not
hesitate to speak very plainly.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, says
there must be found new sources
of taxation.
He has found one, the bill
boards, the advertising signs
along the highways, as legiti.
mate subjects for Federal tax
alton.
Instead of cutting down taxes
these Senators, and perhaps
others, are planning to increase
taxes.
They want more money to
spend. That is what they con-
slider to be their mission-to
spend money, not to save it.
The man in Congress who ad-
vocates saving money is not con-
sidered to be a good politician.
But the peoples attitude on
this question is not the same as
that of these distinguished men.
Progress has been made in
putting business into the gov
ernment, eliminating the dupli-
cation of work, reducing the
number of useless employees and
practicing economics.
If the good work is continued
as it has commenced, in a little
time reduction in taxes could
take place.
The majority of the people
think that they are paying high
enough taxes now.
They think they are getting
too much government and that
it is costing them too much.
They want to see some plan car
ried out which will consider
their pocketbooks a little and
enable them to enjoy just as
good government as they have
today and pay less for it.
These are old fashioned no.
tions but they exist and must be
reckoned with.-Portland, Me-,
Press Herald.

THE COST OF cARELEssNEss.

Reports of automobile acci.
dents in the United States to
date indicate that deaths from
such cause in 1923 will exceed
Is, ,0O0-which averages a death
every fifty minutes. And those
injured in such accidents, it is
estimated by insurance compan.
les, will exceed 100000.
While the number of automo-
biles in use has been greatly in.
creased, carnage wrought and
injuries inflicted are not to be
figured as necessarily subject to
corresponding increase. The
figures above cited are, in large
part, to be listed as the toll that
the nation pays to carelessness
on the part of motorists and pc.
destrians. For most automobile
accidents are avoidable. The
great majority of them are attri.
buted to speeding, to reckless
driving. to JOY riding, to intoxi,
cation at the steering wheel,
to failure to exercise proper care
as to safety appliances, to lack
of care on the part of pedest.
rians and to other carelessness.
The above figures should drive
home to all who use the high
ways the need for exercise of
proper care. With victims of
accidents running above Is, 900
annually and with the mum Der
of injured exceeding 100000,
the loss in man power that the
nation thus sustains becomes
staggering. And to this is to be
added the direct loss suffered
by the families of those killed
and the pain and suffering and
loss sustained by the injured.
And there is the loss in property
to be figured in. One killed in
automobile accident every fifty
minutes, two hurt every minute.
That is the present rate. Let
motorists and pedestrians think
on these figures and realize the
terrific cost of carelessness.- -

MEXICO FOR MExlCANS.

The new land decree signed
by President Obregon of Mexico
is said to be in force. It is a
strong step in the direction of
making Mexico land of farm.
ers. Practically all government
holdings are thrown open. All
Mezicans over 19 years of age,
as we'll as all naturalized citi,
zens, may claim Federal lands
for agricultural purposes. Lands
for irrigation are limited to 25
hectares-or about 60 acres; dry
lands 100 hectares and pasture
lands up to 500 hectares. There
must, however, be no invasion
Of private property or lands al,
ready occupied. Free title will
be given after two years Of pos,
session or cultivation. The state
is protected by stipulation that
lands so acquired shall not be
sold to foreigners or to other
Mexicans holding like lands.
The ultimate hope is that every
Mexican will in time have his
own vine and fig tree. With
that possession the passion for
revolution will cease.-Los An
