any Of the taxes that may be imposed on
other states by the federal government.
But we have an unusual problem at
home that deserves the thoughtful attention
of every individual until conditions arc
brought back to normal. Our consideration
of tax matters should be thoughtful and our
action deliberate We must not get panicky
but on the other hand must move in an or
darly manner. Careful surveys must be
made before reductions are made effective.
Blanket reductions will not do.-Shelby

STAY ON THH JOB, CONGRESS.

COMEBODY whose knowledge of figures
y is on a larger scale than ours has es1l-
mated that the uncertainty as to what 'oli-
gress is going to do about taxes and eco,
Monies is costing the people OF the lhlteu
States a hundred million dollars day. 1t
isn't costing us, personally, that much, bur
we would feel relieved as everybody Wollld,
If we could get something out OF Washing
ton as a guide whereby to chart our business
course for the future.
ANY decision is better than no decision.
The nation has been kept in suspense too
LONG already. We know Of some and hear
of many more industries and business enter
prises which are merely marking time until
they find out what the new tax bill Is gong
to be like If it puts on one kind OF tax,
they VII have to do business this way; II It
is another sort Of tax, then they II have 10
do II another way Meantime, 1t Is only the
part Of prudence for business men 50 stu
ated To sit tight and do nothing, rather than
take the chance OF doing the wrong thing.
We hear that the bankers are complain
inc that there is not enough demand for
business loans for productive enterprises to
enable them to lend out safely the money
they are holding. We are afraid there won I
be much of demand until business knows
where it is at with respect OF taxes Our Oh
servation is that Congress is showing pref
ty good spirit, considering that this Is q
presidential year and most Of the members
are usually concerned more with the elec-
lions than they are with the public welfare.
Many of them, in both houses, actually seem
to be trying to represent the people who sent
them to Washington. This is refreshing and
hopeful. and we think the good work ought
not to be interrupted BY al adjournment
merely to take i'll the presidential conVen-
lions.
We want Congress to finish its work at
one sitting, without taking time out for play.
1t it can't Get constructive program conc
pleted before the conventions, let 1t stick IN
Washington until it can. We are tired OF
losing our share of that hundred millions
d day that delay is costing Us, and we are
speaking for everybody III our part OF the
country in saying that it will do more harm
than good to his chances for reelection fol
any member Of either house to do anything
more to drag the session out into the sum
mer.
Folks are getting peeyish and there !
no telling what they might do It things
don't come to head pretty soon.

GORGE ROGERS CLARK has a
" place in our school histories, even
though the United States allowed the
conquerer of the Old Northwest to die
In poverty and neglect and did not
pay the full honors due his memory
until 1l0 years later. But where Is
there any monument erected to the
memory Of Oliver Pollock or anything
else to remind us of our great debt
to him.
Pollock was an freshman WHO emil
grated to America a. youth. lived
for time in Carlisle. Pa. then in
Havana. Guba. and finally In New
orleans. During these years he had
become successful merchant and
banker. wholly self-maae man. Soon
after the outbreak Of the Revolution
he was made commercial agent for
Virginia BY Coy. Patrick Henry.
When George Rogers Clark planned
his ambitious project for the conquest
Of the British posts in the Illinois
country. 1t was Pollock who bought
with his own money the powder and
supplies which Clark needed and
shipped them up the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers to Pittsburgh.
Altogether Pollock advanced more
than 100000 to the patriot cause,
mostly on his own notes. After the
war was over he sought In vain for a
repayment Of these debts. Believing
that he might make enough money In
Cuba to discharge his debts he went
there. But his New Orleans creditors
rave him no rest and they succeeded
in having him thrown into Jail In
Havana. His friend the former Gov
ernor Galvez of Louisiana. secured
his release and as prisoner on parole
he was allowed to 90 to Philadelphia
to press his claims against the Ameri-
can government.
FINALLY In 1885 Pollock was awarded
the sum of $4,000. but there was no
money In the national treasury and 1t
was not paid for another six years.

ventures and was so successful that
by 1900 he had paid every cent he

In 1902 he settled mt Carlisle, Pa, and

Aviation Ports

A glider port is distinguished from
an airport, In that an airport is a
level piece of land which has the
least possible number OF approach
distractions, and the glider port
should be entirely surrounded by high
hills, so that these motorless flying
machines may be taken off from the
top Of the hills In any wind direc-
tion and flown to the level ground In
the center.

this rate they would be out of food
with another meal. Nothing was
said. Stan had dropped back into a
moody silence. He was watchful,
listening, and always his hand was
near his belt, He was typically the
outlaw, Ball from Blind River.
After breakfast Stan let the
dishes stand dirty. There was not
enough water left to wash them. He
sauntered out into the sunshine
and stood watching the blue haze in
the canyon below. Dona finally
came out and sat on the other side
of the entrance.
Noon came with a pleasant heat
that was not oppressive but
that warmed deeply. Dona had bus
led herself with a careful check Of

she had spotted the Pass Creek
trail and that she could go to 1t IL

enough to her so that any attempt

rapidly.

"You will be here when I get

without another word he saddled
the black mare and rode out
through the cleft OF rock. Dona ran
inside the cave and began to look
about for any article she might
need. Her eyes fell on the picture
In the rock niche. She pulled II
down and stuffed II under her jack

and would be hiding just or the

Out at the entrance Of the cave
Stan Ball sat and berated himself
for taking Dona prisoner. 1t had
been wild fancy, a decision of q
seconds consideration. He was al
ways making them and aftcrward
paying for his blunders. All he
could hope to do by this step was
to rouse the posse to renewed vigor
and add more men to the already
overrun woods. He had deliberate
ly lessened his chances of escape.
But the thing that made him feel
most guilty was keeping the girl
overnight In the cave. On the way
up the mountain 1t had seemed an
excellent way to arouse Dona's hus-
band from his complacence and
force him to realize that he should
be more attentive to such wife.
Now Stan was not so sure all this
would work out as he had intended
Winters might turn out to be the
wronged and enraged husband.
He tossed aside his third cigaret
and arose. Patting the black
mares neck, Stan walked to tho
edge Of the shelf and looked down
balcony above Pass Creek. Down
in the canyon he could see lights
moving and the night breeze car
ried the rumble of machinery to
him family. Stan watched the scene
grimly. almost sadly.
He came back and made bed in
the mouth OF the cave. away from
the chill wind of the upper hills.
And he slept soundly, his six gun
tucked under his leg and his hat
laid across his face. Daylight was
an hour old before he woke. Sitting
up, he listened for sounds from the
cave. None came and he ventured
inside.
Dona was still sleeping soundly
Her trim shoulder was exposed and
1t rose and fell gently with her
breathing. Stan smiled a crooked
smile and retreated to the bench
outside. He was sitting in the sun
when she finally made her appear

Stan got to his feet and faced

for two hours"
Dona re-entercd the cave without
a word OF protest. She had n plan
and she intended to carry II out
