MORE TAx-FREE PEOPLE-LESS
TAX FREE BONDS.

Nothing is more constructive than
the recommendation to Congress by
k President Coolidge that taxes be
scaled down and that the issuance
of tax-free bonds be stopped.
The people demand relief from
taxes and they. are not concerned
whose plan is accepted whether il
be that of the republicans or that OF
the democrats, just so that the plan
adopted shall accomplish the most in
tax reduction.
The people are just as insistent
on the discontinuance of tax-free
bonds the purpose of which affords
investors an opportunity to escape
tex burdens entirely while others
less fotunate must bear this burden
in addition to their own, a condi-
ton so devoid of business and fair
ness as to effect its one conde, ma
ton.
Both these reforms have been
put before Congress in way that
permits of no evasion of reSpons-
Utility. 1t is up to Congress to act.
Failure to act, for whatever reason,
will precipitate such a revulsion in
the public mind that those respons-
IDLE, whether they be the "blocs" or
other round robins" may well pre-
pare for condign retribution at the
hands of a betrayed electorate.
President Coolidge has recon-
mended nothing more than tax-dis-
tressed people are entitled to. No
thing less will be satisfactory. The
people endured war burdens patient
ly and periodically. With each
succeeding year they now not only
ask but rightly demand that these
bu dens be lifted from their shout
ders to the extent that an econom-
ical administration of public affairs
makes possible.
Let us have more tax-free people
and less tax-free bonds.-News
Bureau.

Pretty Good Eth? The following
question and answer was copied
verbatim from a state Educational
Examination paper filled in by a
young lady from downstate in try
ing for a certificate:
20. Briefly explain the Babcock
Trunk Highway System in Mime
sofa and give its Importance.
"a. The Babcock Trunk High
way System is system by which
trunks or any kind of baggage may
be passed along the highway with
out getting lost or damaged. This
is very important so people can
send any kind of baggage on the
highway going between cities with
out it being lost or damaged. This
increases the rate of travel along
our highways"

The man who is laughed at to-
day is revered tomorrow. They
laughed at Bell and his telephone,
Edison and his electric light, and
Langley with his crazy flying
machine. The Wright brothers were
derided, the discoverer of X rays
were ridiculed,. and the radio
delus!on" brought smiles and amuse-
meat.
But not now!
1t is as impossible for us to say,
now, what the road. of the future is
to be. as it was impossible for us to
say, FIVE years ago, what the radio
broadcast of to-day would be.
An inventor wants to interest
capital in making a roadway of
steel. 1t will cost, if built. not
thousands, but several hundreds of
thousands of dollars per mile. Road
builders laugh. The public laughs.
We all laugh. Why pay three humid
red thousand dollars a mile for
roads when we can get them for a
few thousands?
paying twenty-five thousand dollars
a mile for road was laughed at!
This steel idea NAV be all wrong.
it hasn't been tried. It may be
chimerical in the extreme. We
don't know. But we do know that
laughing at it because it's different
is no way to prove it idiotic. Ten
wears ago people laughed at the
idea of national highways. They
don't laugh any more. More and
more neople are coming to think
that highways are as much part

Of foreign foes our country has
no fears. Our greatest menace Is
multiplication and needless exten:
sion of governmental functions and
regulations by state and nation
Bureaucracy is the canker-worm at
the root of our government, federal
and local. If it is not blocked in its
slow unseen attacks, something is
going to happen. The present ad.
mipistration is tackling the evil in
calling for immediate reduction in
expenditures. The budget system
inaugurated under a former admin
istration, is hopeful against further
encroachments; but the worm is
heavily entrenched and it grows or
what it eats (taxes) and spreads its
power to new places every season.

The new idea is always laughed
at. Laughter doesn't prove any
thing except the "stand-pat-mind'
of the Laughter. Maybe steel roads
at three hundred thousand dollars
mile are impractical. But why
not bring something else to bear
on the question beside laughter?
Nobody laughs at national highways
any more; not even Congress!
The joke of yesterday is the fact
of to-day. Maybe we will yet ride
on national highways of steel!
They laughed at steel rails for

City Team Loses to Aurora.
+ The Aurora City team won the
deciding contest of three game
series with Ely by defeating the
locals 81 to 10 in listless game here
Saturday night.
Aurora cinched the game when
they Embossed a strong offense DUR

Aurora on top. In the second half
I Ely out-scored the visitors 1915 but
could not overcome their huge lead.
Ely did not play up to its true
form. The offense did not function
properly; short-passing and accurate
shooting being significantly absent.
The defense would not form it's FIVE

One of the most remarkable
political delevopments of the
times is the popularity of
President Coolidge among
those who, ordinarily, are lit
tie interested in politics.
This comes about because
it is. very apparent that this.
quiet, modest man, whose en-
dowment with worldly goods
is less than that of any man
who ever occupied the presi-
dental chair, has during his
public ] Career steadfastly
used conscience as his guide
without considering the eff
feet on his political fortunes.
He has COMPOUNDED many
politicians, men who "play
the game" because, by doing
what he thought was right
without compromise or en-
deavor to placate "both
sides" he has won more favor
, among men and women than
those who are prone to strad-
die and evade.
In the fact that President
Coolidge has convictions and
the courage of his convic-
tiens, and in the further
fact that the American peo-
pie are intelligent and recog-
nize this, lies the almost
unanimous desire on the part
of the ordinary citizen, who
dislikes ordinary political
methods, to see him nominal
ed and elected. The average
man and woman owes it to
himself and herself, and to
this country Of ours which we
ourselves rule, to make it
manifest that Coolidge is the
real choice Of the real people
and to allow no possible
doubt of this to exist in the
minds of the delegates to the
conventions.

Biwabik Surprises Ely.


For the seventh time in seven
wears the Ely high school Basketball
team lost on Biwabik's floor to the
Biyabik team Is to 10 Tuesday night.
The gym was filled to its capacity;
many Ely rooters also being present.
Unable to shake off the time-warn
jinx Ely, doped to be easy winners,
received a violent setback in their
tournament aspirations.
Ely was handicapped considerably
by the narrow floor which is similar
to Towers. Because the playing
space was too small the game failed
to bring out any smooth teamwork.
The scores were the results Of
long shots and recovered fumbles.
In this Biwabik outlucked Ely. The
third quarter proved to be. Ely's
downfall. During this period Biwabik
through several long shots ran the
score from 4-3 in their favor to 1876.
Ely jumped into the lead when
Anderson made one following the
opening whistle. Culavander tied
the count for Biwabik shortly after
wards. Mccarthy put Ely ahead
3-2 with free throw a short time
before the quarter ended. The next
quarter was marked by the close de-
Tense of both teams. Urick did the
only scoring of this period with a
field goal.
When the second half opened Nc.
earthly regained the lead for Ely by
sinking one in from the side Of the
court. Then with the score Sd
against them Biwabik made four
baskets in rapid succession from all
parts of the floor ending the quar-.
ter with a 1876 score. Ely fought
hard in the final period outscorina
their opponents SO but the rally
was cut short by time.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
A MARROW BELIEF

A young boy remarked: dad is
quite a church-goer He goes in the
morning, hunts up baseball or
horseshoe game in the afternoon and
then goes back to evening service. F."
The young man seemed to think his
father is pretty good sort of per-
son, though there are some pious
people who will argue that dad"
is not a good Christian. AS we see
religion, it should be normal A
man cannot be religious in spots, and
just at certain times. Humanity has
tendency toward fun, and the most
uncomfortable person in the world
is the one who grieves because other
people find something to amuse them.
It's hard to believe that the One who
put a song in the throats of the
birds, smile on the flowers and a
laugh in the waves of the ocean will
send person to Hades simply be-
cause he wants to sing and smile and
laugh out loud on Sunday. That
kind of religious belief is too mar
Tow-and not the kind by any means
that helps the world along to better
things.

HOLIDAYS FOR HOUSEWIVES

The average Mountain Home man
is apt to forget that running a home
is pretty hard business. There isn't
much diversion about homework.
The man swallows his beakfast whole
and rushes away to his affairs, leav-
ing the little woman many times
with children to be made ready for
school, lunch to be prepared for them
at noon, washing to be done and the
preparation of a big evening meal.
The lord and master of the house
comes home tired out, as he describes
1t, and falls asleep, in which state
he remains until the dutiful wife re-
lieves his agony by suggesting that
he might just as well go on to bed.
From morning until night a woman's
work continues, without variation.
Man at his worst manages to get
something out of holiday OF
course women need holidays, too, and
the right kind of husband will do a
little thinking along this line now

WHEN TO BOOST

We wish we could make every cit
izen of Mountain Home see the bene-
fits that come from boosting the
hometown first. We have a lot of
respect for the fellow who says, no
matter if he lives in the smallest
hamlet or the largest city in the
world, that he lives in the best town
on earth. He's worth whole lot to
his community. No town can be
made better by knocks from its resi-
dents. 1t isn't becoming to throw
upon the screen bad pictures of the
place you live in, no matter who you
are talking to or where you happen
to be when you're doing the talking
Always paint the best picture to the
outsider and he'll have better opin-
ion of you and be more favorably
impressed with your choice of a
place to call home. No town is per-
feet in every respect. All citizens
can be criticized more or less. No
town was ever made good by sarcasm
or criticism. If you want it to be
better, boost it, and it soon will be.
Don't knock. If you feel that you
have to, then get hammer and turn

NIGHT DRIVING

How to make the roads safe for
those who drive at night seems to be
the biggest problem now before the
automobile clubs of this country.
State legislatures have from time to
time taken a hand by passing dim
mer laws, but very little has been
accomplished to protect either the
man who is out after dark in mo-
tor car or who is driving a horse, or
even the man who walks. If you are
not ditched or killed by dazzling
headlights, which many drivers keep
burning without thought of the dan
ger to themselves or the other fellow,
ten you are subject to a hi-jaeker
who may mistake you for rum-run-
ner and take a shot at you, or even
some officer of the law who thinks
he has a right to shoot when a man
fails to halt as quickly as he desires.
One of these may plug you while you
arc innocently attending to your own
BUSINESS. Truly, the highways of
this country are not the quiet, peace
full thoroughfares they were twenty
years ago.
Night driving is not as safe as it
ought to be. Every Mountain Home
man who drives a car will agree
with us there. And it never will be
so long as there are road-hogs and
people who disregard the laws of
safety and common-sense; who care
for taking a chance them
selves; who figure that because they
haven't had any accidents they are
not going to have any. But some

time, somehow, a way may be found
to do away with most of this dan
ger. Until that time arrives, how
ever, the man who drives at night
should respect the rights of others
on the road, and drive sanely, de-

farther toward conserving life than
