SENATOR SHOOT
 SAYS BONUS BILL.
 K. WILL bE PASSED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-Senator Reed Shoot, of Utah, chairman of the senate finance committee, said today that < soldier bonus bill would be passed over the presidents veto ant that so far as the senate is concerned the measure would have at least two more votes than the necessary two thirds. In case congress passes the bonus bill without making some pro- vision for funds for its payment, it will be necessary to find out how the money can be raised.
 There is no doubt according to a number of party leaders, that money could be raised for the bonus. and at the same time a substantial tax revi- sion be made in case the administra. ton really desired such end. Either the debts of England and France could De applied for this purpose, or spe- 'cial tax be applied on luxuries. The latter plan would meet with less fay. or than the former, as America Is tired of excess taxation, and capital and la Dor both desires to rest.
 There is bitter opposition in Wall Street and administration circles to any form of bonus, the interests desir- ing a lessening of the tax burden to any other beneficial legislation. The

WHY PICK OUT THE FARMER

Why all this agitation about pro tecting the farmer? He is really the only man in the nation who does no need protection, as he could live witf out aid from city or town, by adopting the methods of his forefathers. The common laborer needs protection be fore the farmer; the mechanic gets more money for his labor, but money is not all there Is in life The farmer is his own boss. He plants ana soWs and reaps as he chooses. without punching a clock or losing his job from an invasion of cheaper labor. He is the only independent iaborer in ohe world today, and he wants protection And this protection will be furnished toy class or lawmakers who are not in sympathy with the falmer, other than to get his vote; who couldn't drive a straight furrow nor swing a cradle if their lives depended on i..
 The farmer will be protected, all right, At the cost of the remainder of his independence

kLANS AT OLD TACTICS
~~@r

i% --------
 in the State of Washington an lhi- tiative measure has been hieu "' Olympia providing that all children from eight to sixteen years ol age must attend public schools, ana pre- scribing certain penalties While the ,avman will probably overlook the text of the measure in approval of the intent, it is vicious and senseless hill aimed at the Catholic institutions of learning and private schools in gen eral Such law would be both un' American and unwise, as any man or woman who can afford to pay the price should have the choice of send ing his or her children to any school desired, so long as it measures up to certain educational standards. TC deprive one of such privilege would do great harm and would cause re- cessen in educational liberties. It cannot be denied that the girl or boy reared in a parochial school is much further advanced than those who get only a public school education Not only are they taught other lessons than are obtained in the average pub lie school, but they are taught deport ment and good breeding, which is a rare virtue in the average American child.
 There is no argument against the public school as a training ground for the youth of the country. It carries them far along the road to educational success, but the polish the final dress ing up and toning down of the pupil can only be acquired by special train ing.
 Every denomination and sect has it's school system to inculcate special training in the minds of it's students. An example of the academic reason ing taught in such schools may be found in President Roosevelt Presi- dent Wilson. President Washington, and President Jefferson. all of whom were educated privately. Are they inferior in thought and moral precepI 10 the scholar trained in the masses instead of receiving selective educa ton?
 The bill is aimed especially against the Catholics. but the Bareback will consume every denomination and creed, and bring about a bitter reli- gious war, useless and un-AmericaD in the extreme. It will revive racial and sectarian hatreds, cause intoler- ance to flourish, and bring about no worthy end.
 If a man contributes to the support of the public schools, and desires to send his children where he believes they may be trained in religious as well as non-sectarian matters it is his privilege to do so. The mind that can see no justice in his cause is too narrow to dispute with.

REGULATE THE FIREARMS

An Anchorage paper commenting on the shooting of the late Harry kava- naugh by Knik Nicolai, drunkc~ In dian, hysterically lays the murder of the popular police chief to the man who sold the native the hOotch which caused him to get drunk and commit the murder. Suppose, for the sake Of an argument, that the Indian had made his own hootch? Would the grocer who sold him the ingredients be guilty o4 being an accessory before the fact. We believe the causes lie with the courts and the officials them selves, altho it may be said in passing that a man who sells liquor to an In dian does so knowing that it makes a maniac of him. Nicolai was bad h. dian. He had already committed two murders at time when he was not under the influence of intoxicants. He was known to be vicious and murder ously inclined. Yet he was allowed to carry weapons, or have them in his possession. The courts instead of giv ing him a life sentence for his pre- vious murders, gave him sentence of a few months in jail, and let him go.
 If the matter was left to the deputy marshals and police officers of the Third division there is no doubt but that every desperate character and every booze joint would be put out of business in short order. But they are handicapped by court rulings, by or ders from their superior, and by pub lie sentiment, until they fear to move or cannot move where the evidence is open and shut. It is safe to say that there is not an officer in the Third di- vision who is not aware of every law yiolator in his district
 A law should be passed by the leg islature barring men who have vio-

 Some act regulating the promiscu- ous ownership of firearms by known law violators is needed 10 protect the peace officer. The murder really is conceived at the time the gun is bought and not after the murderer becomes insane from vie booze.

BONUS PAID BY 21 STATES

The bonus granted by 21 states (the others having sidestepped) now amounts to about 365 million dollars. This is fine for the boys of these 21 states but tough on the sons of the other 27. At best there is bound to be a great discrimination where the bonus is state affair. Properly con. sidered it is a Federal matter.

Weather Affects Tun,ors

That the growth of malignant tu-
mors is related to the general weather
conditions and to sunlight in particu-
lar has been shown by Investigators
in the Rockefeller Institute for Medi-
cal Research. Drs. w. H. Brown, L.
Pearce and G. NJ Van Allen have had
number of rabbits suffering from
malignant tumors, under observation.
A comparison Of meteorological rec
ords and the growth of tumors in dis
eased rabbits revealed striking CO.
incidence between the decrease of tu-
NOR growth and the periods of maxi
mum and minimum sunlight, that is.
In summer and winter seasons; while
the greater malignancy occurred at the
times of sudden and rapid changes in
the hours Of sunshine day. The lat
ter periods correspond roughly with
spring and fall of this year.

SURVEY OF GAS TANKS

A survey to determine the source
OF supply of gasoline filing stations
throughout Maryland, with the pur-
pose of fixing the State gasoline tax
on all wholesale dealers doing busi-
ness in the State, is being made by
order of William s. Gordy, Jr., State
Comptroller.
The survey is pursuant to an act
of the last Maryland Legislature
authorizing the use Of fund of not
more than $4,000 to be taken from
the gasoline tax for this purpose.
Mr.. Gordy will be assisted by
State police, who are acquainted
with all filling stations throughout
the State. There may be some
gasoline dispensers who, through
ignorance of the law rather than a
desife to evade 1t are not complying
with the tax requirements, the
Comptroller explained.
All wholesalers doing a gasoline
business in Maryland, Mr.. Corey
said, are liable to the State tax of 2
dents. Distributors operating out
side the State cannot be held liable
but the first man or firm handling
the gasoline after it is brought into
the State must pay the tax. Only by
check Of the filling stations can the
identity of wholesalers be aseer-
tanned, 1t was pointed out.
The survey will include not only
the name of the wholesaler furnish
ing the filling station, but also the
amount purchased and sold by the
stations. This will allow a double
check when sales of the wholesalers
are examined.
