WASHINGTON. June S.-Creation
of deficit by the treasury so that
the customs service may continue
with a full staff has been auth orized
by President Harding, it was an
nounced officially today. The Pres
ident's authorization means that the
New York and Boston customs houses
Will not have to lay off any of their
personnel to keep within appropria-
tions.
The treasury had been unable to
find a way to maintain the labor per-
sLnnel in full force without over
drawing it's appropriation for that
service, but when the President was
informed of the situation, he imme-
diately authorized the expenditure of
sufficient funds to keep the customs
houses in full operation and avoid .
serious congestion.

FRIENDS ARE INVITED
TO DIVORCE HEARING
Husband Sends Formal Cards, Blu
Wife Balks Plan

BERLIN. June s.-The German
press and public usually show little
interest in divorce trials and a Ber-
lin judge therefore was rather sur
prised to find his court room packed
with visitors. Council for the de-
PENDANT wife requested exclusion of
the spectators, whereupon 1t was re-
vealed that her spouse, the plaintiff
had issued 100 formal invitations
printed on gold bordered cards and
sent to his neighbors and friends.
The card read:
II have the honor to invite you to
attend my divorce before the civil
court and to listen in on the failings
of my WIFE"
Immediately upon this disclosure
the judge cleared the court room and
five minutes later sent the marital
litigants on their respective ways,
divorced.

enacted in the history of the country.
For that reason it has been extremely
difficult to enforce, and most OF the
people whose habits were in~terfered
with by it either are engaged IN lts
violation or applaud its violation by
others. But the great majority OF
our citizens are law-abiding. They
must not be dismayed by the hue and

people whom they serve.
1t is almost as di~scouraging to III

dead letter because of numerous m
fractions as it is to deal with the

''PITTSBURG PLUS"
INDEPENDENTS All

The chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation. E. H. Gary, tesE-
fyin before the federal trade COM
mission, says that the 'Pittsburg
Plus" f~avoritism was not invented and
is not used to injure competitors.
!. According to the Chicago Tribune,
this is substantially true, but is mere
ly a clever evasion of the real ques-
ton, intended to befog the issue and
bewilder the public. In fact, the plus
arrangement makes it easier for ir-
dependents to compete. The Tribune
says that they "are tarred with the
same stick" as the major concerns.
There is no issue between the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation and the
independents on this question. The
issue is between Pittsburg and other
iron manufacturing cities. Manu-
facturers, by common consent, cont
pei Duluth to charge the Pittsburg
price, plus a sum equal to the freight
charges between Pittsburg and the
point of delivery.
III duluth were given the plus priv
ilege instead of Pittsburg, L would
work this way: A mill at Duluth
after fixing a fair price on its pro-
duct would have the right to force q
Pittsburgh company, which would
otherwise be a competitor, to charge
the Duluth price for similar Pitts
burgh goods plus a sum equal to the
freight charges from Duluth to the
place of delivery. No one asks that
for Duluth. No one would consent to
it. Pittsburgh has such a right over
Duluth and gains an enormous ad-
vantage. Why not have a Chicago
plus. a Gary plus, or a Duluth plus
added to the Pittsburgh price? II

PROTECTING CHICKENS FROM
RATS.

Rats are the greatest menace to the
poultry raising farmer unless he
takes necessary precautions for the
chicks protection. Take six or eight
posts and place them in the earth, so
that you can build a platform on
these posts as long as all your chick
en- coops placed end to end. Cut off
the posts about three feet from the
ground, and nail two by tours on the
posts, then cover with sheets of tin.
The tin should overlap about eight
inches all the way around the two by
fours, so that the rats cannot get on
the platform. Place your chicken
coops on this platform, and all your
rat trouble will have ended. In the
morning a board a foot wide and about
ten feet long should be placed against
the platform, 20 that the chickens
can easily descend to the ground
The board should be fitted with small
pieces of wood nailed three inches
apart, thus making it easy for tn,
chicks to ascend to the coops wher
it is wet and slippery weather. Wher
all the chicks are in their coops tht
board should be taken away, when n
rats can get at the chicks, hence cal
not harm them.

lIshment of modern, fire-proof, gov

rating of cases of compensation and
claims by the bureau has been liber-
allied, and ex-service men given the
benefit of every doubt.
The u. S. Veterans Bureau received
up to August 81, 1922, 857, 235 COM
pensation death and disability claims,
and 1,038,239 compensation and insur-
ance claims. There are st present
mor than $4,000 disabled veterans
hospitahzed by the Veterans Bureau.
The report of the insurance division
shows that on July /, 1922, there was
a total of $1,047, 039-39 Of u. s. gov
eminent life insurance in force. This
report also shows that there was a to-
tai Of S2,186,113 of term insurance

Duluth could have such a plus, it
would soon be the center Of the iron
industry.
The "plus" is an artificial aid TO
Pittsburgh, a pair Of clutches to Off
set advantages of location possessed
by other iron manufacturing towns.
1t is a Pittsburgh pulmotor. 1t IS
maintained by friends of Pittsburg IN
and outside of Mr.. Gays company
because they fear that without this
undue favor the seat of iron manu-
featuring in this country will pass
on farther to the west.
They have in mind the fact that
milling Of flour passed to the from
the west because of f~avoring condi-
tons inherent in nature itself.
Pittsburgh would control the manu-
f~acture of iron from ore, just as New
York claims a ~prescriptive right to
be the neck of the bottle through
which all western products on their
way to Europe must pass.
But the favor extended to Pitts
burgh is a derogation of the right
of other places. The United States
Steel Corporation, which seems II
have a conscience, and which, in many
departments, is managed with great
ability, fairness and moderation
should not regard itself as a Pitts
burgh enterprise, and its mills al
Gary, Duluth and elsewhere merely
{, as outlying extensions Of the Pitts
burgh plants. The distance betwee:
Pittsburgh and Duluth is not mag
mary. This practice, which has NJ
foundation in justice, should be enc,
ed without further delay.

such an idea to lodge, take root and abide perma-
nently in their skulls.
Presumably, the moral of this doleful tale is
that the next time a legislature meets, and it is
proposed to make the mine and power tax dodgers
pay just taxes in proportion to others, in order not
to turn susceptible souls in the senate, such as
these 80 sensitive gentlemen, against the proposal,
the governor and The Record-Herald will have
to put on their gum shoes, don mufflers, speak in
whispers, and smile, smile, smile.
The editorial of the Independent-and what else,
in the name of God, could be expected from the
Independent implies that such a thing as an
honest legislature that would honestly deal with
taxation measures, and pass or reject them on
their merits, is outside nature.
