Of effected land is reduced and that crops
are injured and the water made unfit for
domestic use.

A cheerful idiot is better OFF than
a gloomy philosopher.
Scores of the enormously rich are
dying of capital punishment.
A merry heart is a great microbe
killer.
In the last analysis, the knowledge
that YOU can use is all the knowledge
you've got. The balance is dead
weight.
The constancy of love is to be
measured by the strain brought to
bear upon it. The point where it
fails is the measure of its strength.
People who fail do so not for the
want of capital, but because of the
waste of it.
The strain on the violin string ca
pacitates it for music, when in the
hands Of masters. The raphsodies Of
human life rise amidst its anxieties.
Don't evade the one lest you lose the
other.
The human heart is like harp of
many strings. Harmony or discord
depends on the hand that sweeps the
chords. If the music happens to be
harsh, don't blame the harp.
There are just three social classes
Those who are misunderstood,
those who do not live their real self,
and those who have missed their af-
finities-and are still on the hunt.
In this financial age and its fury
fha hov scarceIv knows his father
Really, he is no more than a mere
acquaintance. In the home every
body is so busy-mother is over
whelmed with her social functions
and the father is immersed under fl
nancial tides. There is something
fearfully sad about it all. The old
fireside chat and the sacred bond of
the family circle have about become
treasures Of the past.

INDIFFERENCE AND CARELESS
NESS INCREASE TAXATION

A Western professor on Washing
toms birthday circulated a petition
in a high school which was largely
signed by the students. When read
it disclosed the fact that the young
men had carelessly signed a paper
asking to have their left arm cut
of.
The Chehalis, Washington, Bee
Nugget comments sarcastically on
this neat exposure OF the modern
system of government by petition.
Nothing is more familiar than the
fact that petitions are circulated
and readily signed by taxpayers
creating new laws and offices to
burden themselves and deprive
themselves of liberties, apparently
ignorant of what they are doing.
Government by petition is the
first step by city or state in So
called direct legislation by the
people-the Initiative and Referen-
dunn in action.
Few people will take the time or
go to any trouble to inform them
selves, or if they do, they lack the
nerve to refuse the solicitation OF
the petition peddler.
At five cents per signature, the
idle man or woman circulating a
campaign petition acquires a verbo-
sity and garrulity to arouse the envy
of the Ancient Mariner.
Those who sign petitions careless
", and think that benefits provided
by taxation are cheap and paid for
by somebody else, are badly mis-
taken.
Increased cost of government is
reflected in higher rents, higher
prices for food and clothing, and a
decrease in surplus of wage earners.
The reason that governments are
extravagant is because citizens
show lack of interest, and them
selves pass numberless laws with
out even knowing it. Government
has no fear of insolvency, because
it keeps no capital accounts. The
capital wasted by government eX-
travagance (the peoples extrava-
gance) is the capital of the taxpay-
ers, even though they fancy that
they are only wage earners, and dc
not see that they pay taxes through
cost of living shown in the bills
they pay every day. Rich men do
not pay the poor mans tax bills
Those who levy taxes are discover
ing this.-The Manufacturer.

Every American who understands
the situation will heartily approve
Of this appropriation. AS one writer
On Economics recently put it: For

rrates~what our government loses

THE ADMINISTRATION scored
another positive and exceedingly
impressive victory in securing the
ratification of the Italian debt set
tlement. Up to the time the vote
was taken, the Administration was
counting on only a 15-vote margin.
The recorded vote gave clear vic
tory of q majority. This increased
vote is a tribute of respect and con-
fidence to the President and Mr..
Mellon and his associates on the
Debt Funding Commission.
At time when the balance of for
eign trade was running against us,
when we were importing more than
we were exporting, the failure to
ratify the debt agreement would
most certainly have had far-reach-
ing effects. It will be surprising if
as a result of the ratification we do
not secure at once an increased pur-
chasing activity in general, and in
Italy in particular, as a result OF
the acceptance of the pact which
enables the Italians to continue the
work of putting their financial
house in order.
@e@
THERE IS NO DENYING that
part of the worry over the possible
defeat of this Italian debt settle
ment was based on the attempts to
introduce racial, religious and in
ternal American political complica-
tions. There were those who feared
that on a matter which called for
worldwide vision, the senators
might be affected by incidental in
fuences. The Senate, however, rose
to its opportunities. There is nc
doubt that a recent declaration OF
Secretary Mellon in reference to
debt settlements had great influence
in this matter. Speaking at the
Union League Club, Philadelphia
he said: 1--WE cannot collect more
than the debtor is able to pay. Eu'
rope is more than a debtor. She is
our best customer. She buys an
nually $2,5OO,OOO,OOO of our surplus
commodities. I should rather have
solvent customers in the future
which permit me to run profitable
business than insist upon terms of {
settlement which will again force
my customers into bankruptcy. Th'
farmer and laboring man would
rather have a market for our sur
plus in Europe than save dollar il

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(FrOm National Editorial AssOclaLIUIl
Especial to Chronicle)

(From National Editorial Association
Especial to Chronicle)
Washington, April 2S.- Despite
the numerous inquiries and investi-
cations which are absorbing a con-
siderable portion of the present ses-
sion of Congress, it is generally
recognized that there will be little
or no change in affairs.
It has been said that the fear of
change perplexed monarchs in by
gone days, and the same holds true
at present with those dependent
upon public favor for their high po-
sitions. There remains only few
days for legislative deliberation, as
it is now understood that the Con-
gress will recess about May 20. The
calendar is crowded with bills and
their authors must make gestures in
order to convince those interested
in the measure of their desire to
have the propositions enacted into
law. The steering committees of
the Senate and House have their
time completely occupied in sorting
out the wheat from the chat. That
is, measures of the utmost import
ance politically from those which
can be safely passed over until next
session.
At present there is a dispute be-
tween the organized group of farm
ers as to the methods Of farm re-
lief. Owing to the short time before
this session ends, it is believed that
the matter will not advance beyond
the talking stage. The administra-
ton is said to object to government
price fixing, despite the. objections
from various groups. American
business is also taking up the sub
ject of assisting agriculture.
The approval of the Italian debt
pact by the Senate brought sigh
of relief from those interested in
the forthcoming senatorial contests.
The disposition of this controversy
might place it in the background as
an election issue; however, it is to
be observed that the world court
issue is stressed by candidates for
senatorial seats.
For a time it appeared that the
tariff would be given unusual prom
inence but somehow the sensations
have not reached the proportions
expected.
Everybody is impatient and anx-
ious to get back home. The i'm
peachment trial is not attracting the
attention that was anticipated. Ap-
parently it means little to the pub
lie if a public servant goes astray
with power.
Europeans say that Uncle Sam
was the only one to benefit from
the war, but we would be willing to
trade what we got out of it for
Alsace Lorraine, Shantung, one
third Of Africa, and a flock of is
lands which somebody took away
from Germany.
%o@
Up in New York they have started
a drive on quack doctors. Why
wouldn't it be a good idea to start
one against quack politicians?
%o@
Before abolishing capital punish
ment it might be a good idea to
abolish the gunmen.
SoS
The trouble with that bootleg
liquor is that it is synthetic but ii
isn't sympathetic.
