is reassuring Many had supposed that the
fiscal conditions of Wisconsin are what is tech
nically termed rotton. Many still suppose So
The governor points with pride to the state
ment that ten of the principal manufacturing
cities of the state, from which list, by the way,
Milwaukee is conspicuously absent, have ex-
pended in new industrial plants and additions
to existing plants little more than twenty
million dollars in the past four years Com
ing from the propaganda factory at Madison,
these figures are naturally subject to suspicion
until verified, but for the purpose of this pass
ing comment we will take them at face amount.
This statement claims the expenditure OF an
average of five million dollars a year in ten
cities, or an average of half a million a year.
In the meantime, the governor does not state,
and we do not yet know, how much money Wis
consin corporations expended on plants they
own and operate outside the state. We do
know that we can sit right at this desk and al
most blow spit-bal into the plant of a Wis
Fconsin corporation that is building with its
back fence just over the wrong side of the Wis
Fconsin state line, into which probably as much
money that ought to have been spent in Wis
consin will go, as the whole four years of the
ten selected cities the governor CITES show for
all their plants
However, time and research are required to
get the facts, and these The News will be glad
to devote to the subject At any rate, it will
be conceded that there is nothing in the Wis
consin taxation system which is leading any
very great caravan of manufacturing pilgrims
to seek haven in our midst. Perhaps a diff
ferent system wouldn't but it is certain, and
wholly beyond the realm of speculation, that
the present system does not.

. THE TAX BURDEN.

The recurring anniversaries of tax-gather-
ing, should bring to mind the tax gatherers.
At Washington, as we file our statements OF
the annual contribution from our incomes to
the maintenance of government, we have man
in the White House who not only has talked
a lot about economy, but who has actually
economical, and says he will continue to. Our
Federal taxes are less than they were, not only
because the exactions Of .war-burdens are
lightened but additionally because the peace
time expenditure of the government has been
intelligently and successfully reduced.
1t is too much to hope for a. like result from
Madison The man at Madison is different
type of man from the man at Washington.
But, there is no reason why, in the exercise
of reasonable intelligence, man should not be
put at Madison who can do at least as much
there as has been done at Washington. 1t
should not be done as a matter of politics so
much as matter of economics. /. No state can
survive the orgy of taxation which has been
imposed upon this state. It matters not so
much now of what stripe of politics the man
at Madison may be, as it does that he is a man
who can be depended on to reduce taxes-not
increase them.
Naturally, Republican would be preferable.
The Republicans are in the economy business
nationally, and there is no reason why they
should not better be able to furnish the needed
man. But it is matter of state preservation
NOT matter of politics., and if it yet must
be halfbreed, let it besa better one than we
have had yet Certainly better than we have
NOW.

Daily Health Hint
HEART SYMPTOMS.

+ Most people suffering from an or
ganic disease of the heart are not con-
scious of any pain, Mrs. Mann learned.
But pain in and around the heart
is frequent with a large number of
people, and when felt is fair warn
ing that something is wrong.
The, pain may be a symptom of a
serious heart trouble or it may be due
to one of great variety of conditions
having nothing to do with the heart,
such as gas in the stomach, inter
costal neuralgia, muscular rheumat-
ism or pleurisy.
Being a bit puffy after climbing
flight of stairs may be the result
of over weight, nervousness, lack of
physical exercise, pleurisy or one of
several other conditions.
Still it is wise to Investigate. Heart
trouble may be at the bottom of it.
Swelling of the ankles is sign
which at once suggests poor circu-
lation in the1legs. This may be caus-
ed by weak heart, an obstruction
in the veins, disease of the kidneys or
anemia.
The swelling usually is more pro-
nounced when the patient has been
standing on the feet all day. Often
the swelling subsidies after a nights

THE AIR SERVICE.

If Secretary Weeks is correctly quoted in
saying that he does know what the personal
views of General Fechet are as to the character
and nature of the airplane service organiza-
ton it is confession of administrative in
competence which ought to be humiiating.
If there is principle involved in this question,
on which the proper development of an i'm
portant element of national defense rests,
every man connected with that development
should have distinct views on the application
of that principle. 1t has been necessary to de-
mote one man for having clearly defined views
not in accord with the views of his superiors.
Frequent changes in administrative and eXecu-
tive personnel are not good for any service
especially not good for highly technical SER
vice. such as the air service is. Competent
direction would have determined in advance, it
would seem to us, whether or not the man
selected was in harmony with the higher
powers 1t would be particularly unfortunate
If the secretary had tlnwittingly selected an
other Assistant Air Chief who should have
views, and express Them and they should turn
out to be not in accord with the views higher
up.
& Probably the Secretary has been misquoted.
Probably he knows, either that General Fechet
has no views, or, what is worse, having them,
will, after General Mitchell's experience lack
the courage to express them. In either case,
the public is deprived of one of the best re-
suits it could get from the experience and
training of distinguished officer.
Undoubtedly General Mitchell went into his
demotion with his eyes open. 1t has been the
fate of all officers who have dared to think
and had the courage of expression. That is
why, whenever we need to use the army or the
navy for any effective combat work. they have
to be thoroughly overhauled and practically
reorganized and new men for action substi-
tuted for the old. However, when it is nee
essary to get action we get it, and perhaps the
SNUG complacency with which our gold-lacers
prefer to contemplate themselves in the long
stretches of the inactiWties of peace, is, after
all, the best way to keep them out of more
serious mischief.

THE CROSSWORD PUZZLE.

We have with us this evening, needing, |
am sure, no introduction to this vastly intelll-
gent audience the present autocrat OF Amerl-
can social life-no less, to relieve your sus-
pense, than The Cross Word Puzzle
just how, or when, or why this modern
Goliath Of the intellectual World emerged from
the chyrsalis of the Word Square of the
fathers, is not yet definitely established, and
may never wholly pass the stage of contro-
versy But it sure has passed that stage.
1t has already built up literature of its
own. A lusty monthly periodical, "The Cross
Word. Puzzle Magazine" is devoted to its in
terests; Allan Harding devotes a scholarly
article to it's analysis in the March issue of
1.-The American Magazine; The Literary
Digest" gives over page of it's precious space
in the issue of March 7, to review of scienti-
fc research into the subject by DR.. H. E..
Jones and Professor Prescott Lecky, dis
tinguished psychologists of Columbia univers-
ty, which was published in "The Popular
Science Monthly to mention, at least
unduy, the illuminating discussion of the sub
ject, with which you are the present moment
RECALLED and we trust instructed.
1t has brought to it's ranks many dis
tinguished authors, or, as we say in the tech
nique, constructors Among them are Irving
Berlin Alice Brady Clare Briggs, Chauncey
NJ Depew, Alma Gluck, AL Jolson, Kathleen
Norris, Eddie Rickenbacker, roxy" Rothafel,
Admiral Sims, AL Smith, Efrem zimbalist,
and, by no means to be omitted, this present
writer. Also others.
The psychological conclusion of the learned
Columbia professors adds little to the lore of
crossword puzzles, but it tends to revive an all
too waning public confidence in the value of a
college education. Their elaborate tests lead
to the tentative conclusion that there is a
relation between the general intelligence of
the victim, and the facility with which the
puzzle can be solved. Gosh! how that relieves
u.s. Chauncey Depew didn't spend So much
time coming to conslusion, nor take SO much
space to express it. He says. they are bully

seen nominated for President once if he hadn't
been general counsel for the New York Central
railroad
With this necessarily brief resume of the
subject we trust you will understand that the

NO PRIVATE SALE OF BONDS.

The other day bond salesman from near
by city-a clever talker and no doubt an ex-
cellent business man-came before the city
council here and suggested that the bond issue
soon to be fioated by the city for the erection
Eof the new high school building, be sold at pri-
vate sale to his company, metropolitan bond
ing house
The city council did not hesitate in it's an
swer. 1t stated courteously but firmly that
lit was not interested in private sales of public
bonds and that even if the law did allow such
procedure, there would be no sale of bonds
here except in the usual way of receiving bids
and letting the issue to the highest bidder.
The bond salesman perhaps was right in his
argument that his concern by securing. assur-
ance now that the issue would be sold to them,
could go out now and sell the bonds in advance
at better premium than they will attract a
few weeks later when they are actually put on
the market He stated that he had trust funds
! to invest Immediately that could be put into
the bonds and which would probably not be
available later. 1t may be in this one instance
that the city could have secured as much at a
private sale as at public sale.
Perhaps the private sale might even have
melted a few dollars additional premium but it
would have been a costly bargain to make if
with it precedent was established for the
private sale of city bonds. A good time to
stop such precedent is before it is started.

Traffic accidents, you are informed

n1ally for $4,000 deaths and 100000
serious injuries. This represents the
staggering economic loss CT 500 mil
lion dollars.

c1t;on before we hsniah death from the

Ani vet traffic does not stand alone
as a big factor in accidental death.
Statistics show that nearly as many
people are killed by falls as in traffic
and strange to relate, by falls that
occur largely in their own homes.

his own home, yet the individual is
in frequent peril of his life within his
own four walls.
However, he wouldn't be if he were
always careful.

The only serious criticism made on
congressman for increasing their own
salaries is that, as usual, they avoided
q record vote.
And that criticism reaches much
wider than this bill.
congressman knew that the increase
was proper, but they assumed their
constituents did not. This is the
common assumption.
Some congressman doubtless have
more sense than others, but, taken
as whole, they are not an impos-
sibly stupid lot.
If they would use the sense, they
have, it would be enough.
But when they dare use only the
sense they think their constituents
have, and measure that by its stu
pidest samples, the standard is too low.
All the intelligence congressman
has is not likely to be too much for
the public needs.
To give less, because he thinks his
constituents have less, is to malign
his district and to cheat his country.
Not Such a Bad Habit.

Twelve cups is, of course, great

Coffee is a drug, and we nearly all
have the drug habit. But think how
insignificant habit it is when the
worst topper in the country takes only
IL cups, barely four times moderation.
Would prohibition have been thought
of if alcohol were such drug that the
worst soak in the country took only IL
glasses of beer day, and there was
only one of him?

RoWeU Says
By CHESTER H. RoWELL


It would be unfair to President Cool
idge to infer from his speech to the
tax officials that he is opposed to the
inheritance tax entirely; though, with
his temperamental suspicion of every
thing even remotely "socialistic," he
presumably does not like it.
But there can be no disagreement on
two CT the presidents points.
One is that the tax should not be
duplicated. Either the national gov
eminent should leave the field to the
states, or it should coordinate it,
making only one collection and pro-
rating their shares back TO the states.
The other is that administrative
abuses should be reformed.
If 40 per cent tax, in extreme cas-
es, is justified, it should not be COLI
lected in a manner to compel the sac
riice Of so per cent of the estate.
I All these abuses are durable. After
they are cured, the principle of prop
er inheritance tax remains fundament-
ally sound.
Even if it is sometimes more than a
revenue law, and aims at hindering the
too great concentration of wealth over
more than one generation--was that
not exactly the purpose of the aboli-
tion of entail, which was almost the
first American reform?
