RADIO AND THE
FAMILY CIRCLE.

AS an entertainment and educa
tional device, the radio Is far sur.
passing other forms of public
amusement.
A new horizon has been opened
up by radio to millions of families
living in the country, the town OF
the big city, new means of culture
The world in it's larger centers Is
offering programs of good entertain
ment and instruction to people in
their homes both by day and night,
the new marvel drawing families to-
gether.
Young and old, instead of wander
ing idly in search of diversion, can
hear an orchestra, band, a pipe or
gan, religious service or a good
play, in their own home, be it in a
city, on a farm, or miles away in
mountains or desert.
There are lectures for the serious
minded all the way from literature
to electricity and specialists give the
latest ideas in dress, dancing, gar
dening or the various fields of scien-
tific progress.
AS broadcasting stations are en-
larged to give better service over
wider areas, radio will give still
greater service to the nation.

there is need of thinning out of
trees, and those that may be taken
out for Christmas trees are so label
ed that when the season comes the
labeled treelets are removed but no
others. BY the next year others are
labeled, and thus the thickets are
kept from developing to the disad-
vantage of tree growth, and thin
spots do not become too thin.
We have SO much freedom here
and so little intelligent regulation of
some of these things. that floods and
drouths exercise great freedom too,
and cut into our plans seriously.
The flood that wrecked SO much of
the fine area between Ogden and
Salt Lake City two years ago is an
example of what 1t costs US to take
the Christmas trees and other timber
on at the wrong time and place.

House. The use of a regular car at
a considerable saving as compared
with a special train attracted par
ticular public attention for the rea-
son that the journey began on the
day after his economy message to
congress and two days after he had
submitted reCrenchment budget.
An interesting addition to the
general discussion of the president g
action in regard to the special train
and one that points out even more
strikingly the economical trend of
mind possessed by the president Is
contained in a press story telling the
actual facts in connection with the
incident. The story is the president
from the first refused a special train,
but was willing to take q special car
until railroad officials are said to
have started dickering on the ex-
pense.
The cost will be $50 day for
the private car and an additional
charge of 25 fares" railroad repre-
sentatives informed the White
House.
The president saw no objection to
the 500 day. But, when informed
that only 20 persons could be &C
comodated-and rs fares were
wanted4he put his foot down on
the proposition.
We'll pay no railroad Is extra
fares when the Is extra persons
can't be carried on the car paid for
he is quoted as saying.
And so the president sent one of
his aides down to the depot to buy
tickets and space in an ordinary
Pullman car.

KILLING BABY PINE TREES

The agitation against sacrificing
young pine trees for Christmas
seems to have made division OF
opinion among the Blackfoot bust
ness houses to such an extent that
only part of them placed pines in
front this year. The complaints
about stripping the native beauty
from Wolverine was answered by
charging 1t to business men buying
them when brought to the towns,
and forestry officials showing how
denuding the hills increases the
floods and drouths, so there is rea-
son to pause and study the matter.
Mrs. Vosotke, formerly Miss Toll
mic, spent part of last year in Bo-
hernia and says that there are plenty
of forests in that country even after
thousand years of constant use Of
timber. They have little pines for
use at Christmas time and still the
forests do not vanish nor become
spotted. She inquired into the mat
ter and found that their department
of forestry keep up a study of the
landscape so they know just where

DELAY FILING
BONUS CLAIMS.

Prompted by a surprising failure
on the part of many service men to
file their applications for benefits
under the soldiers bonus law there
is now a concerted effort the countdy
over on the part of the American
Legion to organize an effective de-
partment of service for all world
war soldiers in presenting their
claims for adjusted compensation
under the so-called bonus law Vol
unteer workers from the Legion g
membership at almost every post
are giving time to this service.
With this concerted move is re-
vealed remarkable lack of interest
in filing claims Since the passage
of the act there has been time for a
great majority of the ex-service men
to file their claims and arrange for
the compensation, yet surprising
ly large number still have to COM
plete their records. In fact, only a
relatively small number have taken
advantage of the act And time is
short to meet the requirements If
full value of the bonus is to attach.
At the expiration of the time limit,
only the per diem cash bonus will be
obtainable, and Furthermore, in the
interim, should death overtake the
service man, his dependents or bene-
ficiaries can receive only fraction
al part of the total compensation.
That this situation prevails is to
be regretted, no matter how senti-
ment stands on the law. In the
course of passage the measure was
opposed by individuals and various
organizations, just as it was favored
by equally as influential bodies.
Vetoed. it passed and became law.
1t now represents this country's plan
for compensation, and if the public
really knew how slow the ex-service
men have been to accept it there
might be a considerable shifting of
sentiment
In order to put the law into opera
ton, a considerable overhead ex-
pense accrues, and this expense goes
on almost to maximum whether few,
or all, service men take advantage
Of the act. This becomes another
reason why the ex-service man
should act promptly

INVESTIGATE BEFORE
YOU INVEST.

The get-rich-quick operators al
ways find plenty of victims anxious
to part with hard-earned money
The latest large operator of thai
kind was a Chicago man who fioated
an utterly worthless oil stock and
found trouble in handling all the
money people forced upon him. He
admits that he paid dividends" out
of money received for stock-that is
used new customers money to pay
an old customers dividends. This
was done many months after Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon issued
his warning to the country against
unsound investments. Mr.. Mellon
has served the Nation well in many
respects but it may be doubted
whether he has done anything that
ought to be of more value than his
advice on "How to Avoid Bad In
vestments." Here are his twelve
Danger Signs" and they are worth
repeating:
1. Mining stock. The best look
ing mine in the world may prove a
white elephant" Mining is very
expensive undertaking and the risks
are unusually great. There are
many good mining investments but
this branch of the investment mar
ket is generally not for those who
depend upon a salary.
2. Oil stock Drilling for oil is
costly. The hazards are great. Oil
investments are speculative and in a
class with mining investments.
3. In the wake of every import
ant discovery or invention there
comes a host of schemes-"air-
planes" RADIO wireless" The
promoters of these may have only
the best of intentions, but frequent
ly their enthusiasm is about all they
have to sell. Look before you leap.
4. Investment in real estate"
in some distant place is
sometimes as dangerous as mining
stock. People have been known to
buy swamps advertised as 'sea-
shore frontage" Know what you
are buying before you invest
5. Land development" schemes
do not pan out. At best
it is long time before any money
comes in from sales. Investment in
new companies" that are going to
sell by mail' should be generally
avoided.
6. Patent rights and processes
1t is rarely the pat
,ntee who makes the money.
Z. New manufacturing meth
IDS" should always be closely check
I'd and investigated.

INDIRECT TAXES SWELL
LIVING COST.

George L.. Myers, retired president
of the Northwest Electric Light and
Power association, says that, based
on data secured from fourteen of the
largest operating electric utilities in
the five states of Idaho, Montana
Oregon, Utah and Washington, COW
ering the period from 1920 to 1928
it is shown that out of every dollar
earned by these companies 10 cents
was paid in taxes during 1928 He
points out that the electric industry
is contributing a greater amount OF
its income to the support of the
government than the average indus
try.
If 1919 of the earnings of public
utilities are taken for taxation, 1t
means that about one-tenth of the
light and power bill of users of
electricity is charged for taxation.
Utility rates are regulated by the
state and taxes paid must be charged
up as part of the cost of operation
for rate-making purposes. The pub
lie is coming to realize that special
or indirect taxes make terrible
hole in the family pocket book and
it begins to realize that the shifting
of taxes from direct taxation of the
individual to indirect taxation
charged up in service or products,
simply causes higher aggregate tax
es through the process of passing the
tax along step by step-each opera
ton swells the overhead and in
creases the grand total.
In his message to congress, Presi-
dent Coolidge pointed out the same
thing. Reduction of expenditures,
through economy as a necessary pre-
liminary to further tax reduction,
was emphasized, and with the same
courage and strafghtforwardness
which he has manifested in the past
he assailed the unsound policy which
some tax legislators have advocated.
He said, for instance:
THE fallacy of the claim that the
costs of government are borne by
the rich and those who make a
direct contribution to the national
treasury cannot be too often ex-
posed. No system has been devised,
don't think any system could be |
devised, under which any person |
living in this country could escape |
being affected by the cost of our gov
,rnment. 1t has a direct effect both |
lpon the rate and the purchasing |
'ower of wages. 1t is felt in the
)rices of those prime necessities Of
existence food, clothing, fuel, and
helter."
On that as basis he reiterated
lis previous opinion that: "The
anger incomes of the country would
.ctUally yield more revenue to the
government if the basis of taxation
we're scientifically revised down.
