STATUE URGED.
FOR HONEST
OFFICIAL
Swedish Politician Who
Paid Own Way Ranks
As Hero.
BY Universal Service.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. PA poll
tician as honest as Abraham Lincoln
an incident posthumously disclosed
here, proves Sweden's late Minister of
Finance Frederik V. Thomson to have
been. Originally. shoemaker's ap-
prentice, Thomson became one Of the
leaders of the Socfal-Democratic La
Dor Party under Hjalmar Brantine
and as such continued his campaign
tours after he became head of the fl
nance department.
After returning from one of these
trips he was observed one day at the
Central Station in Stockholm, buying
one ticket after another according to
notes in his diary, but after paying
for them in a lump sum, he went to
one side and tore them into bits. The
explanation was that as a member of
the government to clear his conscience
he bought tickets for all the routes he
had covered and then threw them into
the waste basket.
1--WE have raised statues to men
who were brilliant, intelligent, heroic,
yes, even those who were stupid. But
never, I suppose, has a statue been
raised to a man because he was hon.
est, saintlike, rock-bottom honest,
writes Erik Lindorm in the Conserva-
tive "Svenska Dagbladet," which OPP
posed Thomson politically. "And yet
are there NOT more geuiuses and in
telligent people in the world than abso-
lutely honest ones?"
A statue to Thomson, the shoemaker
statesman, was raised during his life
time in his home city of Ystad, but
now Mr.. Lindorm proposes one in the
lobby of the Stockholm station where
it may be seen by all public officials
out their expense accounts.
The story of his tearing up the tickets
should also be printed, he suggests, in
the public school reader, which has
been called Sweden's Hall of Fame.

prominently in the Christmas lottery
The plain white square of silk, linen
or cambria is something of an out
dated ingenue and in its stead comes
a motley troupe Of subtle creations,
Men can say a great deal with their
handkerchiefs today and the era of
the lordly gesture, the delicately dust
ed nostrils and all that sort of thing,
has been revived. The court days of
France and Louis XVI have faint
echo in modern America.
Fancy handkerchief as q holiday
gift for men open up many possibili-
ties. One color in several shades is
being done a great deal. Two or
three shades of blue are frequently
employed in a pattern, probably ne
cause of the popularity of the blue
shirt in one design or another. In one
of the recent creations offered on
Fifth avenue it is noted that red and
black are freely used in achieving
artistic results.
The newer productions have. in
many instances, deep white border
and a very gay center pattern. To
review the long procession of gay en-
tries would be almost impossible. Sc
lection for holiday giving is largely
matter of personal taste and the avoid
ance of fighting effects. Blue, of
course, is always safe. Dark-skinned
men can use the robust colors to I'D
vantage usually.
The only difference between a mans
and a woman's today is
in the size. The handkerchief has
many recent reforms. For
years a forbidden thing that lurked
in the hip pocket and shocked recent
folks when hauled out Unexpectedly,
it has more recently become a jaunty
attribute Of dress.

ing with every adverse element, from
geese to windmills" in his crusade
against the Senate rules.
While Vice President Dawes sat
gagged" by the rules he denounces.
senators and gallery occupants roared
with laughter this week, as Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi painted a
droll picture of the presiding officer
in the role of the Anticipated hero Of
Ceramics satire that sounded the
death-knell of the knight Grant.
Dawes twiddled his thumbs and
shifted uneasily in his chair as the
ironic barbs of the Democratic "gad-
fly" of the Senate sank home, but he
managed to keep a rather panied smile
on his face throughout the caustic
attack.
DAWES "ENJOYED IT."
Later, when asked if he had any
thing TO say about it, Dawes made
this cryptic comment:
Il enjoyed it very much. 1t was
good-humored and, so far as l can
see. in good taste"
Declaring the. heroic efforts OF the
gallant Dawes against the Senate rules
have but one counterpart in history

"What pleasant contemplation |

ria person. booted and spurred and
liveried in knightly attire, as he dashes
forth upon his charging steed, I'M

inch of ground against every adverse

TELLS FABLE.
Smiling pleasantly into Dawes face,
Harrison related the fable of the I'M

president not to mistake the crowds
who listened to his speeches as an in
location that they agreed with his pro-
posed change in the Senate rules, add

laughter as the plaudits OF the crowd.
Abiding to Dawes assertion that
when he ended his four-year term as
vice president, he would go out oil
politics, Harrison said:
II notice that in all the speeches
where he said he is going out of office
there is applause"
REFERS TO SPEECH.
Dawes was accused by Harrison
with having cribbed his material for
a cloture rule from a speech by Sen
ator Underwood of Alabama, saying
after Senator Underwood had spoken
the vice president had better speech.
That was life saver
Referring to Dawes speech on in
auguration day, March last, when he
berated the Senate for its rules in an
acrobatic speech and "stole the show
from Coolidge" Harrison said:
THE vice president then and there
snatched the bridegroom's robes and
smeared his own name on the front
page of every paper in the country.
We will not forget that day and what
well-modulated sentencesfell from his
lips and how wonderful his poise, and
those acrobatic stunts, which the Sen
ate had heretofore been denied"
Harrison twitted Dawes about re-
ferring to the cloture as my rule "
and reminded him that cloture existed
in the first years of the government
and had been abandoned by unani-
nous vote after IL years trial.
ATTACKS BUTLER.
Turning on Senator Butler. the
Presidents spokesman in the Senate,
Harrison dubbed him THAT Massa-
chusetts Sancho Panza"-the servant
of Don Quixote. He said that Butler
naturally had SON toe" because he
was not given important committee as
signments when he came to the Sen
ate.
Perhaps he wanted the committee
assignments left vacant by the veneer
able and illustrious Henry Cabot
Lodge" he said.
Harrison said IL the delegate to The
Cleveland convention had known all
the remarkable talents of Dawes they
would not have chased around appeal
ing to Borah, Lowden and Hooper and
others to take the vice presidential
He added:
when they found nobody else to
take it. they offered it to Dawes"
All in all 1t was a hard day on

TAX
PROMISED
bEXAR
Rate for 1926 will Not
Be Changed, Says
Judge M'Closkey.

Bersr County taxes in 1926 will be
no higher than they were in 1925, and
yet the $500, 900 courthouse bonds
voted in September will be taken care
Of.
County Judge Augustus McCloskey
was the authority for the good news
to taxpayers in a statement Saturday.
calling attention TO the fact that the
courthouse bonds will be offered for
sale on December %, and not Deem
Der p. as previously announced.
With its S0-cent tax on the 500
valuation. Bexar County now has the
lowest rate of any of the large coun-
tics of Texas Judge McCloskey said.
+. In spite of the fact that an addi-
iional $500, 900 bond issue will be
floated, the tax rate viii not be raised
next year.
INCREASE UNNECESSARY.
Il have been working day and night
10 keep from raising the rate and yet
take care of the extra bonds, and l
now feel confident that / can tell the
taxpayers they need fear no increased
rate
The courthouse bonds were offered
for sale several weeks ago, but the
commissioners refused to dispose of
Them at that time for no satisfactory
bids were received. Il is believed the
bond market has now improved to
such an extent that bids will be open
ed on December % will include one
that will be accepted by the commits
sioners' court.
INTEREST is HEAVY.
However, whether the bonds bring
more than was previously offered. the
county is making money Judge Nc
t1oskey said. As lons as the county
owns the bonds it gets the interest,
which amounts to more than $4,000 a
month.
IF the county holds the bonds until
an interest OF Sal 900 has accumulat-
ed or the interest and the bonus
reach that amount. it can combine
that amount with the saving recently
effected when s500,000 worth of out
standing ) per cent bonds were re-
tired.
THE total will take care of the
additional tax on the 81, 800, 900 bond
issue for next year. thus doing away
with the necessity of raising the tax
rate
SEES IMPROVEMENT.
TIE accumulated interest on the
courthouse bonds mas already amount
ed to 81, 600, Judge McCloskey said.
That amount, with the anticipated
bonus accompanying the sale Of the
bonds, will take care of the extra
tax, he declared.
Il am in hopes the bond market
viii be IN sufficiently By December
% 90 the bonds can be disposed of"
Judge McCloskey said. sit has been
steadily improving for the last so
days, and it is safe TO say there will
be continued improvement. We
should receive satisfactory bids this
time.
However, we do not have 10 have
a new courthouse right away, and
unless we get satisfactory bid we
do not have TO sell the bonds now
