INTERWOVEN.

The editor of the Washington Her
aid says: Thomas Jefferson, the
wisest statesman of the second anG
third decade of the United States
history, wrote that if he had to choose
between having a government with
out any newspapers or having a free
press without any government, he
would unhesitatingly choose news
papers without any government" If
that is Jeffersonian logic it is not
very sound. Governments existed long
before newspapers. Newspapers are
largely responsible for enlightened
governments. Newspapers could not
long exist without government, hence
their constant striving for better and
more stable government. We live in
an age when the press and good gov
ernment are so interviewer that it
may be said the former is the woof
and the latter the warp of civilization
Without government the press would
fall to pieces; without the press gov
ernment would decay. So there car
be no choice.

CAPITAL STOCK TAX

c. A. Rasmussen, collector of in
ternal revenue for the district of Mon
tana, calls attention to the fact that
ali corporations should at this time
file capital stock tax returns for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1928,
and ending June 30, 1924. Forms are
now available on which to file these
returns, and have been mailed to all
corporations who filed for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1923.
Capital stock tax is a special tax
payable in advince for the privilege
of doing business for the new fiscal
year ending June 80, 1924. The rate
Of tax is 81 on each full 81 900 of the
total value of a corporations capital
stock for the preceding fiscal year
enGing June 30, in excess of $4,000.
The amount of $4,000 is an arbitrary
exemption allowed all corporations.

tic or foreign, must file a return
even though it carries no tax due. The

FOOL OR KNAYE?

It is pretty generally believed that
the teaching of English in our schools
is somewhat neglected, but it comes
as a surprise to learn that some EN-
oinent college professors are ignorant
of the meaning of ordinary English
words. For instance, one college pro
fessor says he understood that Mr..
Harding, when. candidate for the
presidency, favored the United States
going into the league of nations.
Here is what Mr.. Harding said or.
that subject month before election:
81 understand the position of the
Democratic candidate and he under
stands mine. In simple words, it is
that he favors going into the Paris
league of nations and favor staying
out"
The man who says he cannot under.
stand that language is either a foo
or a knave-and he can take his
choice.

A we'll known fraterrlal order has
Just adopted a resolution calling
upon congress to modify and make
easier the immigration laws of the
United States, on the ground that
many desirable citizens are excluded
ursder the Iiteracy test and the quota
law.
Nothing is said about the many
more undesirable citizens which these
laws excluded
It is unfortunate that so many peo-
pie are unable to vizualize conditions
as ever being much different from
what they are today. Too many peo-
pie can see that the American civil
izatiOn must inevitably totter and fall
and the United States become a Sec
ond-rate power if we admit the un-
desirable aliens in this country for
any length of time, at a greater rate
than the country can educate and
American ize them.
Yet it is merely matter of mathe-
matics. When the ''little Italics"
and "little Russias" and "little Tur-
keys" of our cities become too great,
they will not longer be merely spots
in a city, but the cities themselves!
Immigrants who retain their nation
alities, speak their home language
live here as they did there, must in
evitably tend to destroy that which
makes America America, and sub
stitute something else, -.
In the wise enforcement of drastic
and stern immigration laws, to pre-
vent this, our country, being overrur
with the lower and poorer types Of
foreign people, lies Americas hops
to stay America, and to be a rea

vat!

means; let US welcome deserving mer
and women to our shores, and show

that he believes in correcting a mistake
quickly, the incident cannot but empla-
size anew the tendency of some of the
states lawmakers to enact tax laws
without first informing themselves as
to the effect of such statutes and as to
the ability Of the prospective taxpayers
to bear the burden.
If a l per cent oil tax, as proposed
by Representative Patman, is fair and
adequate. the logical conclusion is that
those who proposed a 5 per cent tax,
or even 3 per cent tax. must have been
without any reliable information what
ever concerning the oil industry.
But it is not too late to make amends.
If the information which Representative
Patman obtained from two citizens, and
upon which he promptly acted, is correct,
then it should commend itself to the
Legislature as a whole. For, presum-
ably, it is available to every member of
both the Senate and the House.

NEW LIGHT FOR LEGISLATOR

It is reported from Austin that Repre-
sentative Patman went before the House
committee on revenue and taxation with
an "offer' to cut the proposed gross-re-
ceipts oil tax to per cent. That action,
the public informed, was taken as a re-
suit OF representations made to Mr.. Pat
man by two well-known citizens. If this
legislators proposal should be accepted
by the House and Senate, one of the
greatest and most rapidly growing indus
tries in Texas would have far brighter
prospects than those presented by the
apparent determination OF many of the
lawmakers to make it pay high tribute
for the privilege of developing the state.
To err is human. To correct a mis-
take, however it may have been made,
is not to be listed among any mans
shortcomings. Wisdom is matter OF
degree. Some people are wise enough
to look before they leap. Others dis
play wisdom by correcting their mistakes
as quickly as possible.
When the Legislature set out to raise
additional revenue to meet the deficit
that has been piling up during the Neff
administration, many half-baked meas
ures designed to attain that end were
proposed. Many of them went by the
board, thanks to the conservative elc-
ment in the Legislature. Among those
that survived the regular session was the
oil-tax bill. Apparently not even its
authors were well Informed concerning
the oil industry. At first it was pro-
posed to increase the tax to 5 per cent,
The Senate demurred, and suggested
2 - per cent. Then House members
undertook to persuade the Senate to
agree On 3 per cent.
There the matter stood until Repre-
sentative Patman came into possession
Of information furnished by two citizens.
Convinced by such information that the
rate insisted upon by some of his fellow
'law-makcrs was excessive, unfair and TN
inecessary-this is proper and crcditablc
infercnce-he proposed rate even lower
than the oil companies had been paying
| While Representative Patman's action

the organizations annual meeting here

ton whether the jurisdiction of the
United States extends for any pur-
pose beyond the three-mile territorial
limit at sea. This subject. with its
immediate interest arising from the

fortsof the government to end it, will

later If indications are not misleading,
an attempt to amend this law, or other
wise defeat its object, will be made at
the next regular session Of the Legisla-
ture.
Some peoples conception Of the medi-
cal practice act has been gained from
those who opposed the measure. They
it was who undertook to create the inn
preston that the bills object was to out
law certain schools OF treatment and
give to certain other schools a monop-
DIV. To what extent they may have
been successful in that undertaking The
LIGHT does not know. 1t does know,
and believes that every responsible citi-
zen should know, that the provisions
and reasonable, logical effect of the
medical practice act have been grossly
misrcpresented by some of its opponents.
There are certain practices which. IN
effect, the act does outlaw, and which
ought to be outlawcd. Suppose a per-
son should set himself up as a mechanic,
that he proposed TO make
all repairs with pair OF pliers and
screw driver, but admitting that he
had not been schoolcd in fundamental
mechanical principles. Then suppose
another man should devote himself to
the same trade announcing that, al
though he proposed to use ssly one tool
instead of two, he had thoroughly
grounded himself in mechanics and was
therefore able to distinguish carbon
knock from piston slap. Which OF
the two men would be the safer TO en-
trust with a complicated machine?
The human machine is the most COM
Dlicatcd of all. 1t has many parts, and

al practice act does not undertake to
