Unleashing the Flood

Il wss n distinct shock TO the American people when
the report was received Tuesday from Washington that
the Kellogg peace pact had been ratified by the senate
BY a vote Of SIS to 1. The only member Of that august
body who indicated by his vote that he believed the
peace pact would imperil the rights. privileges and
prerogatives Of the United States vas Senator Blaine
Of Wisconsin.
Though ratification of the pact was generally con-
eeded as 3 foregone conclusion. the vote was a sur
prise to the public. For several days the capitol has
resounded % the oratory ~ members who have indus
triously waved the flag and plucked feathers from tn
tail of the American eagle in an effort to get their
highly patriotic ideals emblszoned on the front pages
CT the daily press. Introduction Of the peace pact un-
leashed a veritable flood q high sounding patriotic
phrases, all Of which. apparently. we're intended for
public consumption only.
The public was under the impression that the thun-
dercns peroraticns which rocked the dome Of the can.
itol meant something. They thought o battle royal was
being staged. the volume Of noise being construed as
an index 81 the deep feeling II the august senators.
However, when the roll finally was called Il was re-
vealed that all that orstory was wasted; that il was
merely the "fiIz" without the kick"
The lamb-lke manner in which the senators finally
voted was induced. no deubt, BY the seneralship Of
Senator Borsh. Just prior To calling the vote the SEN
stor from Iraho, chairman Of the foreign relations COM
mittee, read TO the senate a report which set out that
the committee held that the treaty in no way impaired
the right Of sslf-defense Of any nation. That one para
graph was sufficient 20 overcome an the hostility vita
which the senate chamber had re-echoed for DAYS.
Ratification q the kellogg peace pact will receiv.
the almost unanimous eOmmendation Of the American
people. 1t is true they do not know what 1t is al
about; they arc net familiar with every detail; but they
do know it is a step in the right direction. II may not

The World and All
PANAMA
By Charles r. Driseon

Recently I had q letter from Lieutenant George
Williams, a professional treasure hunter, at Panama.
He says that as soon as the rains let up a little he i.
going after Henry Morgan's treasure. or the treasure
that Henry Morgan missed, in old Panama.
How ] envy Williams his grand job lie il equip
ped with some sort Of radium divining- rod, designed
BY himself. He already has brought up an amazing ar
ray Of gold and jeweled chaliees and other handsome
pieces from a dark hiding place beneath the remains Of
the floor Of the old cathedral Of the ancient city. This
j. part % the treasure that was hidden when Henry
Morgan was battering at the gates Of Panama.
Morgan got very little for his trouble. He tortured
hundreds Of citizens to death. roasting them over slew
fires, IN an effort to learn the hiding places Of the
city's treasure. But he was singularly unsuccessful.
That treasure Is still hidden, according to tn. best
adviees We can get from history and the best evidences
that can be found in and about Panama.
The old city was abandoned after one Of it, several
disastrous attacks by pirates. Most Of those who hid
the treasure were killed, or fled far away. never to
return. There Is a strong tradition that srsat tunnels
hsd'long been prepared for reception Of the treasure in
case Of attack, and this sounds reasonable and likely,
FOR the great pack-trains Of treasure were constantly
coming II from Peru and the gold had 70 be kept IN
Panama for months at a time. pending arrival Of the
plate fleets to take the stuff to Spain.
hope Williams will find some of the old tunnels.

While land values hav. only increased 20 per esnt
ir the past Is years, farm taxes have increased nearly
160 per csat, according 70 a recent report OF the FED
eral Hureau of Agricultural Economics- The increase
is not du. 70 any direct tax paid the federal govern
nent, the bureau says. but almost entirely to the in
crease in state and local taxes. Tbs Indirect tax OF
the federal government, which Is approximately IS per
cent greater than IS years ago, il not included IN the
bureaus report.
TIE heaviest tax item u the school. and from cne-
third to ons-half q All public moneys Is expended for
educational purposes. the report shows. Highways and
road improvements account for approximately one
fourth of the total. expenditures for this purpose hav-
inr increased steadily in recent years. The salaries and
expenses or local and county officials are a very small
part Of the total expenditures.
The report states: There are several reasons why
both roads and schools cost more now than they did
IS years ago. In the first place all prices have risen,
so that If We we're only getting the same amount Of
schools and the same kind Of roads now that We were
getting in 1918 their cost would be higher. The mum
Der of children attending school has been increased r.
over %one-third. due partly to the fact that the states
have been raising the ages Of children covered by com
pulsory school laws. and partly because parents want
their children 10 receive more education"
The average length OF the school term has been in
srtasing. More children are going to high schools than
formerly. and the education Of a high school student
costs over twice ss much as that Of one in grammar
grades.
The same story Is true Of increased expenditures for
roads. Labor and materials cost more and the country
Is building vastly better roads and giving them much
harder usage. Maintenance costs have advanced, but
the cost in proportion to miles Travelled has decreased
materially.
Another reason for the upward soaring Of taxes i
because the average farm community wants things
which require more and more taxes TO buy. Many
farmers express themselves as appalled, at the mount
ing cost of public improvements. but the number who
would welcome . return to the old days Of muddy.
rutted roads, Groom school houses and five-month
school terms. IL limited.
Though taxes have almost doubled IN the i5-year
psriod, both the rural and urban communities are to-
day receiving more actual value from tax moneys than
ever before. The many public improvements under
way. the improved living conditions. schools, highways,
telephones, and other modern facilities represent a ire
nendous expenditure, but Il u an investment that has
and is adding much to both urban and rural life and
Is giving the individual as we'll as the community a
broader scope and greater opportunities for develop
ment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l7.-Explain

Is no getting away from the fact that
G censorship prevailed throughout

tOf course the plot Of Argentine

That the tour was without senss-
tons az much consequence Is pretty
well proved by the failure of Wash

There's no need to get panicky because the papers arc
