whose lines make her have every ap- pearance of youthfulness. Avoirdu- pois does not go along with her ac- tive nature. She must be slim or she is out of that class once and for all.
 Now, year or more ago there was great discussion about knickers and whether they should or should not be worn around the golf links, etc. Now, if you go through any store where they handle clothes of this sort, you will see counters piled high with knlclSers of all sorts and varie- ties. The young girls simply took matters into their own hands and they have proved by force of preee- dent that they will wear knckers no matter what folks have to say about the subject. At the skating rinks right now you will find almost every girl with knickers. And they all look most attractive, too,
 There are certain matters about which flapper is most particular. One of them is her sport suit, for not only does she wear this 1t all out -of- door activities, but she uses it for a town suit as well, and she wears it for travelling during all the summer as well as in the winter under a top coat. small AWonder then that she is particular about the way it is done If every accompanying accessory is thoughtfully considered and accom- lished as beautifully as is the suit then she knows that she will be a good looking somebody wherever she goes or whatever she Is about.
 The girl in the picture is wearing the latest and most perfect presen- tation of the knicker suit! Some where at home she has skirt tucked away. It Is made of the same material and she eau wear 1t with that coat when she Is In town or engaged in doing the things that require that

MARTHA HUTCHINS GIVES
 BIRTHDAY PARTY

On Friday afternoon Mrs. T. D. Hutchins entertained delightfully."- at a birthday party for her little daugh- ter, Martha Sue.
 A pretty combination of Easter and St. PatricSs Day ideas were notice ably clever in the decorations and favors. A Cinderella contest game was played, in which Mary Sue To- gan won the prize and Mary Algee the boooy
 Much excitement was occasioned at the fish pond, where each child was told to close her eyes and make n wish, as she cast her hook. and to the delight of the fisherman a lovely gift rewarded each wish.
 The dining room was particularly attractive. The table was centered by the birthday cake, bearing seven tiny candles, its white icing sDrinkled with the delicate green shamrocks.
 These fairy-like little tots in their vari-colored pastel frocks gathered around the birthday table and pre- sented lovely picture. Those en- toying Mrs. Hutchins hospitality were: Vivian Adair, Mary Algee Elizabeth Bomar. Leila May Bomar. Oze Broyles.

Must Solve Own Problems

The recent suggestion at the White House that
people can find relief from high prices OF an
thracite coal by using substitutes may properly
be construed as one more expression OF the polcy
of less government in business. The present adj
ministration, evidently, and very wisely, takes
the position that in the matter of prices OF COM
modities regulation must be left primarily to the
people themselves. This does not mean That the
administration would not act in case of an agree
ment in restraint of trade in violation of federal
statutes, but, rather, that the administration
does not look upon the federal government as a
proper agency to be called upon to solve all the
multitudinous economic problems of our cltl-
zens.
The statement made at the White House APP
parently went no further than a remark that
the president had been informed that a saving
can be made in the cost of fuel for heating by
the use of bituminous coal or oil. Taken by it
self this statement is not of great consequence
because the information had already been pub
lished from other sources. Its significance, how
ever, is that the head of the present administra-
ton thought it a proper subject for comment by
him and, between the lines one may read the
broad hint that the president believes thorough
ly in the doctrine of less government in bust
ness. In other words, it is the view of the pres
emit chief executive, as it was of his predecessor,
that the people of the country should try to solve
their own business problems rather than attempt
to transfer them to the federal government.
A chief executive possessed of the notion that
the government should be paternalistic in its
policies might easily undertake to commit his
administration to the task of fixing n reasonable
price on anthracite coal. Such a move would I'M
doubtedly meet the approval of a vast number of
people. But if it be the duty of the government
TO fix a reasonable price for coal, it must under.
take the same responsibility with regard to the
price of all other commodities generally listed
among articles known as necessaries of life. If
the government undertakes to fix reasonable
prices one season in the interest of consumers,
it must undertake in other seasons to fix reason
able prices in the interest of producers. If the
government is under obligations to prevent
prices becoming too high it is equally under OBJ
legations to prevent prices becoming too low.
The only practical as well as the only legal
course for the government to pursue is to leave
the matter of regulation of prices to the agree
ment of buyers and sellers except in those cases
where it can be shown that there has been an
unlawful interference with supply and demand,
and in that event such interference should be
prevented by due process of law and not by the
activity of any federal bureaucracy.
There is a widespread feeling that the price
of anthracite coal is too high. 1t will be we'll
if the people of the country test the PRACTICABLE
ity of the suggestion made at the White House,
that they use some substitutes in order to create
less demand for anthracite and thereby increase
the relative supply.

The Little Flaxseed an Issue

The far-reaching effects of a tariff policy are
illustrated in a controversy now pending before
the tariff commission over the question of a
revision of the rates on flax-seed and linseed oil.
Few people would think that dairy farmers have
any particular interest in the maintenance of a
protective tariff on these commodities. Neverthe-
less, dairy farmers are taking the lead in object
ing to any revision downward of the protective
rates on flaxseed and its product linseed oil.
The request for an investigation of these two
commodities, and for a reduction of the tariff
rates under the provisions of that clause of the
tariff law which permits the president, after in
vestigation, to either raise or lower rates not TO
exceed 90 per cent was made by manufacturers
of paint. Naturally paint manufacturer desire
TO buy their linseed oil as cheaply as possible,
and, if the protective tariff could be lowered,
they would be able to buy in other countries at a
lower price.
The dairy interests that oppose this move COM
prise particularly the butter makers. This does
not mean that they are afraid that linseed oil
would be made into a product competing with
butter but, rather, that any encouragement of i'm
portation Of vegetable oils of any kind will en-
courage the manufacture of butter substitutes
and that in one way or another their industry
will be injured thereby. The importation of one
vegetable oil diminishes the home market for
other vegetable oils. Any addition to the total
supply of vegetable oils in theUnited States ia
~cilitates the manufacture of butter substitutes.
Thus it develops that not only American pro-
ducers of flaxseed are Interested in keeping a
protective tariff on that product but the pro
ducers of butter as well.
There are also joined in this opposition to
the reduction of the tariff on flaxseed and
linseed oil, the producers of such commodities as
soy beans. peanuts and cotton. Vegetable oils are
a manufactured product Of these farm crops.

A Rose By Any Other Name

Senator Shoots mind when not engaged with
other things runs along a financial groove. And
that financial groove of late years has also been
a tax groove. He seems determined to add a tax
of some sort to us or die trying. When he found
that his proposed sales tax met with such siren
nous opposition because it would distribute the
tax burden too widely, he lost no time in COM
ing forward with a substitute which he is pleas
ed to call an expenditure tax"
1t seems to be a very fairly demonstrated prop
osition that there can be no expenditure without
buying. By the same token there can be no buy
ing without selling. Therefore all there is to the
tax is the discredited sales tax mas
under a different name, with possibly
a greater number of exemptions.
The proposal is that farmers be excused if
they do not sell to exceed six thousand dollars
worth, which will keep most of them in out of
the rain. Then If they can manage to get along
with a car costing not more than two thousand
dollars, this class will be molested not at all
and they need not worry about a tax. There must
be considerable agriculture in Utah.
1t would seem that most people of the coun-
try are weary of the very word "tax' and all
that it implies and believe with the late Presi.
dent Harding and the present President Coolidge
that the proper thing to do is to reduce the exist
ing tax burden upon the people, and balance the
budget by spending less than by taxing more
Why does the able senator from Utah permit
himself to become obsessed by tax notions when
else is striving to reduce those we are
already groaning under?

Democracy Here and elsewhere

AS a result of the war is democracy flourish
ing, spreading and functioning in Europe? 1t
can scarcely be answered in the affirmative at
the moment We go to press. Power over most of
the European continent must be exercised for
the public good, or must purport to be SO exer-
cised. But the power actually is in the hands of
dictators. And d~ictators preclude monarchy quite
as much as they do democracy. Their existence,
is, indeed significant of the failure of democracy
or of the impatience of the people with the slow
ness and inefficiency of their particular style of
democracy.
When Taine, the French critic wrote some
sixty years ago in his "Notes on England" "This
is the only people in all history that have even
succeeded in governing themselves" 1t was true
then and is true today. And it is a Jeffersonian
delusion that any people, given the chance can
govern themselves. Many peoples have tried and
just about as many have failed.
We Americans, as children of the Anglo Sax
on stock, have succeeded in governing ourselves
very we'll for about one hundred and fifty years
But we are taking n great chance, challenging
the experience of all history, in assuming that
we can adulterate our stock with too many of the
politically incompetent peoples and still expect
ture as it has in the past.
Practically all the disturbances We have had in
recent years in industry and in other movements
affecting the public and the institutions and sys-
tens of the country have come from immigrants
from the oppressed peoples Of Europe who have
had their first taste of freedom under this gov
erpment and have mistaken freedom for IL
cense.

Peanut producers in particular have made an
organized opposition to reduction of the tariffs
on any vegetable oils or the raw materials from
which vegetable oils are extracted. Cotton grow
ers are interested because cottonseed oil, one
of their byproducts, must sell in competition
imported.
Dairymen have numerous organizations
throughout hte United States. Some of these
are connected only with the production of milk
on the farms, some are interested as creamery
operators, some as butter manufacturers, some
as breeders of dairy stock. All of these somewhat
related organizations have formed a federation
