"Money that should be at work in industry and agrl-
culture is loafing in taxfree bonds" So says Senator Ar
Of the upper house of Congress, publisher Of a number OF
farm journals with circulation running into the millions
and who is being looked over as presidential material
In last months issue Of Cappers Farmer he urges the
curtailment Of tax-free bond issues, which, he asserts, can
only be done by constitutional amendment.
"Tax-free securities" says Senator Capper, are
coaxing capital from industry so it may evade bearing It's
share Of the burden Of the World War cost and of govern
ment. The wealthy are getting out from under and leay-
ing the average citizen to struggle with the terrl1lcaHy
heavy tax load"
it pertinent to remark further that the remedy does
not lie solely in a constitutional amendment. Such q
course may be beset with obstacles. Immediate rede1
rests with the taxpayer himself. He can refuse to vote for
more t~ax-free bonds except when they are necessary for
schools or roads.

PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS
TURNED TO PROFIT

BOCHOLT, Germany, September
IA plague of locusts has brought
new industry to this region where
the insects have been gathered by
the ton and oil extracted from their
bodies. The loeusts came over the
frontier from Holland, by countless
billions, and were caught by women
and boys with great baskets.
The oil is said to be partic-
ularly adaptable for winter flying
because it does not CONCEAL in low
temperatures. Good, fat locusts
retailed at about one-fourth of
cent q pound. After the insects
passed through the oil extraction
process the refuse was used as ferti.

HERRrN, Ills, Sept. Follow
ing Saturdays clash between khan
and anti-klan followers in which six
were killed, Herrin residents are
today preparing for the usual Labor
Day celebration. Authorities are
dubious as to developments to be eT-
pected, and early today it was fear
ed in some quarters that further
serious clashes may occur.
There are dozens Of different
versions Of Saturdays trouble with
no two of these alike. Each side has
a story in which they accuse the
other Of starting it.
But after the smoke Of the battle
fought on one Of Herrin's principal
streets, shortly after noon had clear

perhaps mortally wounded. Four OF
the deau are SAID to beve been klans-
men, one was deputy sheriff and
an anti-klansman, and the other was
bystander with no known affilar
ton, killed by a stray bullet.
The khan dead are Dewey New
bolt, Green Dunning, Chester Rel
and Charles Willard, Otto ROLAND
was the bystander and the deputy
sheriff was ]. H. (Bud) Allison.

The arrival Of a national guard
company from Carbonate few
hours after shooting prevented what
focal residents think might have
been bitter battle between the two
warning factions of Williamson
county, the Ku Klux Khan and the
anti-klan.
Both sides were armed to the
teeth, they said, and were pre-
pared to have it out once and for
all. As in the past, however, as
soon as word reached Herrin THAI
the troops were on the way, the
fighters dispersed.
