"It is in its twilight" he said, "be-
cause of its deadly monotony. There is
thin line of melody in it, under which
there is the bump, bump, bump Of the
African jungle. Because of this sick
ening lack of variety, the public Is al
ready beginning to turn away, not only
here but in Europe also"
The editor foresaw the rise of Emusic
of q finer melodic type and better
structural background"-even for syn
copsted dancing.
American music is on the threshold
of its greatest renaissance" Cooke OBJ

the radio has become in distribution
will have their effects before long"

Gasoline Taxes
Devils Lake JournaD

NOcVlS Lake JOuIu0J
A movement has begun In the state to seek a refer
endum on the four cent gasoline tax voted by the last
session of the state legislature and it is quite probable
years ago when the people voted against it.
There is not much argument against the wisdom of the
tax, although there may be some argument against the
judgment of the legislature in passing it after a majority
Of the people previously had voted against it. The legs-
lature, it appears, ignored the will of the people in this
instance.
While the tax is an excellent one, inasmuch as those
who use the highways Of the state thereby are directly
contributing to their erection and maintenance, there
may be a feeling that this is an inappropriate time to in
crease the tax burden Of the people. Business as well as
private owners Of automobiles will be called on to pay the
increased tax, and many business houses in the city would
pay the tax without getting any direct benefits therefrom,
inasnuch as the trucks rarely leave the city limits.
On the other hand, the present low price of gasoline
might indicate that the increased tax would not be SO
great a burden as 1t would have been about q year ago.
The gasoline price now, even including the state tax, is
the lowest it has been in a great many years. However,
we have no assurance that such low prices will continue
or lowering the gasoline prices at will and without much
notice.
The four-cent gasoline tax has been one of Governor
Skaters pet hobbies. In a Devils Lake address some time
ago he went on record as favoring the increased tax be-
cause the added income therefrom would enable the state
TO meet the total federal allowance for state highways.
In his message to the legislature he mmen the en-
actment Of legislation providing for the increased tax, and
the legislature. controlled by the governors faction, &C
coded to his wishes. It might be well, however, to put the
tax to another test at the polls to determine il the desires
OF the people have changed in the matter. The refer
endlrn was inevitable In view Of the former vote.

Pine in a Prairie State
Duluth Herald)

A new crop is to be planted on the rolling prairies of
North Dakota this spring. Trees. Mostly pine.
Plans for the most extensive forestation project in the
history of the state have been made by the Federal and
state governments and provide for a forest that is ex-
pected to some day cover a hundred thousand acres. The
government has provided twenty five thousand dollars
for a start. and this springs planting will consist of
about five acres in McHenry county.
This will be followed by more extensive paintings
annually, and If the project is as successful as DR.. Raph-
ael Zon. head Of the governments forestry work in the
northwest, thinks it will be. it may mean q new agri-
cultural era for the state.
Timber experts say that extensive windbreaks of trees
may have important climatic effects by breaking up and
modifying hot winds. That would be immensely valuable
to North Dakota, and 1t is to be hoped that it will be
realized.

On May /, 1917. Vice Premier

A demonstration followed such as
had not been witnessed since Lafay-

States in 1922. The senators clapped
hands d~eafeningly and rose, the gall
leries shouted more deafeningly still
and rose, leaning forward and wav-
ing, while members of the House
standing at the back of the chamber,
surged forward.
The visitors shook hands with Vice
President Marshall and stood beside
him, looking with evident pleasure at
the wild scene before them. When
the applause had lasted for several
minutes Mr.. Marshall tapped for or
der.
When M. Viviani concluded his adj
dress to the Senate, shouts of "Joffre!
Joffre!" filled the chamber, and the
marshal turned and said with a
smile: II do not speak English"
Then raising his right hand, he called
out, "Vivent les Etats- Unis!" With a
military salute he was gone.

Hoover Entertains

President Hoover had the pleasure of entertaining two
distinguished guests within a few minutes recently.
The first was Bryan Untiedt, Colorado boy who saved
the lives Of . number Of other children when their
school bus was stranded during a blizzard. The second
was King Prajadhipok Of Siam. the first absolute mon
arch ever to visit the United States.
From the standpoint Of s~tatecraft, Of course, the King
was much the more important person. As ruler Of one
Of the nations of the earth he was entitled to all the
courtesy and ceremony which America could shower upon
keeping up his end of the international social obligation
and his visit with the monarch probably was rs enjoy
able as such formal affairs usually are.
To many others, also. the King was the more important
OF the two White House guests. for America Is not quite
so democratic, when all is said and done, as some folks
would have us believe. Some Americans would gladly
welcome the chance to bend their knee before the pos
SCISSOR Of a throne and to these the King Of Siam looms
Is a vastly more important figure than little Bryan
Untiedt.
When viewed from another angle, however, the King
fades into insignificance beside the boy from Colorado.
The latter's distinction is that Of achievement. It Is
probable that he will return home and never break into
the headlines again, but for a brief period he has had the
opportunity Of t~ypifyins. not only the American boy. but
all that Is best in America. His was the ability to hang
Not all Of US are of the same metal but we admire those
who do possess this ability and think Of them as the kind
of folks we would like to be.
It may be that President Hoover likes state functions,
but, since he once was an American boy himself, it seems
a safe wager that he enjoyed his visit with Bryan Untiedt
fully as much as that with the King.
