STA The extreme right of the bour-
geoisie holds sway in the principal
capitalist countries. Even in France
where left government is nominally
in power, it holds it's lease only by
carrying out the policies of the ex-
IRENE right. One of the amusing re-
suits of the regeneration of reaction
is the manner in which it is giving
the Raspberry to its very good friends,
the social democrats.
TN Germany the late President
4 Ebert's son is fined for speaking
disrespectfully of certain members Of
the government. Still worse, the Of
fees Of the Vorwaerts are raided by
detectives of the investigation branch
Of the public prosecution. This is the
first time since 1908 that such a thing
happened. Vorwaerts was the Official
organ of the royal German republic
since Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Lieb-
knecht were murdered by Scheide-
man and Noske and the social demo-
Gratis we're in power in Germany. The
excuse for the raid was the refusal
Of Vorwaerts to publish in full reply
made by nationalist leader to charg-
es of corruption made against him by
the socialist organ.
THE German law provides that all
4 denials must be published in full
whether the editor approves of them
or not. But the usual course to adopt
in such cases is a summons. But the
once Of the public prosecution is now
In the hands Of the nationalists and
they show no gratitude to the social
lists whose policy makes it possible
for the nationalists to be back in the
saddle. This is rank ingratitude. The
most amusing feature Of the raid on
the Vorwaerts Office is that the Official
directly responsible for 1t, the Pruss-
ian minister Of the interior, Herr
Severn, is socialist.
TNHE French socialists changed their
l. minds and voted for the Pain
leve government on the Moroccan
question. That is, they decided to
support hte present war of agrees
sion carried on by the French capital
lists against the Riffians, whose offense
is strong desire to run their own
country. 1t is true that the socialists
explained that their reasons for sup
porting the government were different
to those Of the Poincareists for doing
the same thing. The socialists thot
French prestige must be upheld. The
right opposition-thought-well, you
can think up as good an alibi as can
for the French socialists.

ZION NATIONAL PARK

Zion National Park is in the extreme
southwestern part Of Utah. Zion Can
yon, its dominating feature, bisects
the park from north to south. This
canyon is fifteen miles long, varies in
width from 80 to $500 feet and its
walls range from 500 to 1000 feet high.
Crooked as a snakes trail, topped with
many splendid and enormous domes
and peaks and aglow with color, this
canyon is one of the striking scenic
spectacles of Western America.
Zion is oft referred to as the "Rain-
bow of the Desert color scheme
being a mixture of grays and reds and
browns and yellows which shift into en-
tirely new and unexpected combina-
tons Of varying degrees of intensity as
the sunrise, sunshine and sunset come
and go.
This region was first known to white
man when pioneered by Mormons who
were taking stock of their holdings in
1853. The MOrmons cOlonized here and
Brigham Young, their leader and
prophet, termed the place Little Zion
"a sacred place for his people where
they might find protection If need be
from the Indians who never entered
its sacred precincts" The Indians
called Zion Canyon Mu-kun-tu-weap
,(ValleyOf Many Waters) Zion was little
known, however, because of its mac
feasibility, until Uncle Sam preserved
it for the enjoyment of his people in
1919 by prOclaiming it national park.
The great walls Of the tempted
peaks, extending from the high pla-
teaus to the depths Of the canyon, dis
play about 10000 feet Of sandstone
strata which has been painted by the
brush of time in every shade Of pink,
gray, brown and yellow, striped some.
times with darker colOrs, covered
sometimes with a layer of white.
Swallowed by green trees and canopied
by deep blue sky, this scene pre-
sents a color scheme Of marvellous
beauty.
While visuallzing such a startling
panorama in a desert world, remember
that the walls of this canyon have
been fashioned by the erosions of CEN
turtles into an endless maze of huge
forms-arches, dOmes, towers, spires,
Rlcoves and natural bridges Of many
styles and sizes and your mind will I'M
dOubtedly reach the conclusion that
Zion is an out of the ordinary place.
One of the show places produced by
nature in building the formation which
we know as Utah, Zion presents an un-
usual appeal.

Great Falls, Jan. 12.-Rather than
sunny California" a mecca for pleas
ure seekers, the Golden state soon
will become known as a place of "taX-
alton without representation" and q
spot to be Stunned by tourists, ac-
cOrding to Great Falls visitors who
htave recently returned after a visit
to the state where two. tax laws,
aimed at tourists were recently adopt
ed by the referendum vote.
DR.. E. E. Edmunson is the latest of
these visitors and returned to Great
Falls Tuesday. Tourists from all
states of the Union who annually flock
to the place of native sons, are cup
in arms" and those not quite so mill
tant are preparing to pull stakes, .
as soon as the California legislature,
now in session, places the machinery
in motion to enforce the new tax
laws, says DR.. EdmCnson.
Under one of the laws initiated by
Californians, the state has a legal
lien and legal right, according to the
California law, to impose and collect
a tax on anything a visitor may pos
sess, whether it be diamonds, or 9th
eT kinds of gems, money in the bank,
stocks, bonds Of corporations in other
states, mortgages in other states, or
anything of value possessed by the
visitor.
More than that, the law is designed
to hit every one, whether he or she be
a 30-day visitor or a winter sojourn-
er. Briefly summarized, the tax
measure provides for "the assess
ment, levy and collection of taxes on
all notes, debentures, shares, capital
stock bonds, solvent credits CIR mort
cages, now exempt from taxation I'M
der the constitution"
The other law is designed for those
nonresident visitors who cannot be
caught under the other, that is, those
not possessed Of wealth such as de-
scribed in the either law. This one
provides SIS poll tax.
"Why, they think they can get
away with anything in that state,
says DR.. Edmunson. "But they viii
soon learn that the people of other
states will not go there to read tho
no visitors sign. In fact they are
already getting a taste of it. Il

Your Income Tax

Your income tax for the year 1924
is less, in proportion to your income,
than was the tax for 1923. A rate

HISTORIC STONE FACES
ON. ST. LOUIS THEATRE
TO HAVE NEW SETTING

BEDFORD, Ind.-Sculptured stone
faces that adorned the famous old
Olympic Theatre in St. Louis are to
be preserved in memory Of actors of
bygone days.
It was at the time-honored Olympic
that several great. actors and actress.
es began their rise to fame. It was
there, too, that many historical plays
either sprang to popularity or melted
into obscurity. Such was the power
of the Olympic's verdict.
John F. Queeny, ST., well-known st.
Louis business man and one Of the
original First nighters," has pur.
chased the four stone faces of the dis
mantled playhouse for the purpose Of
perpetuating memories of the great
actors of quarter of century ago.
The huge faces will be placed over
the entrance of the old Southern Ho-
tel, which is to be remodeled into .
| modern office building. The faces
were the first sculptured Indiana lime
stone used in architectural construc
ton in Missouri. They are as sharp
and clear as they were in those early
days when they brooded over what
was called Americas most critical
group Of playgoers."
