employees who had reached the retire.
ment age for their group, unless they
were exempted by the President. Prior
to the economy act most employees were
given extensions" If they SO desired.
This was announced today by Gen.
Frank T. Hines, administrator Of vet
Grams affairs, who made public the
figures for the period from July l..
1882, when the economy act became
effective, up to the end Of 1882.
Exceeds Past Record.
During this same period, he said,
there were 1884 original applications
ice retirement act of May 20, 1880,
and GALS annuitants were added to the
retirement rolls during that period.
This exceeds the number added to
the rolls during any similar period since
the establishment Of the retirement
system in 1920, and exceeds by 1,424
the additions to the roll during the
entire previous fiscal year.
On December 81, 1882, there were
30,956 on the roll, Of whom 20,865 had
been retired for age, 6,614 for disability,
1888 for optional retirement after hav-
ing rendered 30 years service, and 1894
because of involuntary separation from
the service.
Balance Increases.
The monthly payment on account Of
annunities for the month of June, 1892,
was $4,000, 0,839.80. For the month OF
December, 1882, the disbursements
amounted to $2,537, ,072.23. The balance
in the Civil Service retirement fund in
creased during this period from $223.-
588, 1862 to $243, ,402, ,050.46. This in
crease in the fund was due In part to
an appropriation Of $2l, ,000, 900 90 made
by Congress for credit to the fund and
also to an interest credit Of $780,
987.62.

When the breadwinner loses his job,
the report says, there is often seen
a tendency in the other members Of
the family to throw blame on to the
father for the dilemma in which they
find themselves. He usually reacts in
one of several ways. Sometimes he
gives in and adopts a hangdog air.
Develops Aches and Pains.
I'm this case he often develops
numerous symptoms Of apparent physi-
cal disease (headache, general weak
ness, vague pains here and there) for
which, however, the most careful medi-
cal examination fails to disclose any
adequate physical cause. However,
this man does not deliberately and in
tentionally manufacture his symptoms
of Illness"
Sometimes he fights back. Sometimes
he deserts the family altogether.
Perhaps" says the report, father
should not spend so much time at
home. There is sometimes a marked
increase in hostility toward the father
when, because of unemployment, he be-
gins to function more actively In the
domestic scene. His presence at m-
usual hours tends to upset domestic
routine and to throw many of the
usual daytime customs of the family
out Of gear"

Taxes and Progress.
(New York World-Telegram.l )


 Twenty years ago $1 in every $l5.5o went to the support of government in the United States now $1 in every $3 is taken.
 Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, in his speech of Saturday, commented These figures appalling :"
 They take your breath away.
 On top of this, the national income has dropped to $44 for every $100 previously earned.
 And Dr. Butler asks why Congress and the Leg slatures cannot reduce this stupendous burden. Because, he says there is insstent public de- mand Why not? Because the vast majority of the American people not tax-conscious
 He would make them tax-conscious by means of a scientific and well-ordered system of taxation" Until then he declares i've shall not get far along the road to reform" He would do this by capita tion Ca head tax) some other form of tax making every voter know that each year he pays something to meet the cost of government"
 This is sound theory. Yet the problem of taxes will have to be examined also in terms of the vast ence of tax burdens from the many to the few. When Dr. Butler says, "The American people have none but themselves to blame" and If the rich alone are to pay, surely democratic principles the rich should rule' he does not mention the over whelmng drift of industrial civilization toward concentration. A tax universally applied. might be desirable. Yet it could not be large, with poverty so extensive.
 AS things now stand the United States, with a third of the populations income going to govern ment is maintaining huge superstructure not immediately connected with the industrial process but which has been outgrowth of it. This super structure depends upon industry. When the latter weakens, at present, the Civil Service army goes at an unbearable cost or faces partial de- mobilization, destroying governmental progress and adding to unemployment and stagnation
 We are, therefore, caught now by a stupendous economic and social trend. Dr. Butler is unique among American university presidents in that he has lately created commission of experts to study this whole problem. While agreeing with him in good part in his tax thesis emphasize the un- haltable advance of industrial science and it's in- evtable tendency to increase governmental services and costs.
 The question of taxes must be considered scien- tifically and fearlessly part of the great prob lem of restoring and inslrng economic balance.

HAYNES MAKES KINDLY GESTURE.

Harry B. Hawes, Democratic Senator from Mis- souri whose term expires next March 4, made a most kindly gesture recently when he resigned in order that his successor, Bennett c. Clark son Of the great wartime Speaker of the House, the noted Champ Clark, might get brief experience in the Senate before his regular term begins on March A. Senator Hawes resigned effective February B. after he informed Gov Park would appoint Bennett as his successor
 This enabled Hawes to carry out decision made two years ago to retire from the Senate He merely awaited the election and advent of Democratic Governor of Missouri that he would be certain that Democrat would succeed him in Congress. He served l2 years in the National aw-making body half of it in the House of Representatives and closes his legislative at the age of GA. He has been leader of movements and in initiating legislation for protection of wild life and in recogni- tion of his deep interest of that subject he was made Chairman of the Special Senate Committee on Wild Life Resources He will continue his con- servation activities, remaining in Washington as national representative for three four game and fish conservation organizations
 His last and hardest fight in Congress came to a successful termination late last month when the Senate passed. the veto of President Hoover, the Hawes resolution for Philippine Independence.

In the Dry Citadel.
(New York Times.)


 In Kansas, Prohibition has had it's long and perfect work It must be for less fortunate States that The Emporia Gazette is moved and grieved as it sees mischief conceived and iniquity brought forth at Washington:
 It's 9-to-1 shot that beer will produce
 chaos in the country, with all the evils of the old saloon unregulated by any reasonable
 program
 In the Sunflower paradise happy generations have grown up. They know not the ancient woes. They are immune from the bite of the serpent, and the sting of the adder. At least might have thought so if The Gazette's "ma.le-up man." over come by a sense of humor, had not let editorial headed "Stop Look! Listen!" tread the heels of the caveat against chaos. It that the Attorney General of the State has warned Probate Judge
 that he cannot with mpunty get drunk in
 public, and that from on trouble will
 start if complaints come in about the Judges
 conduct
 This Judges alleged were committed toward the end of his old term. He could have been put out only for the rest of that. Now if he is put out he will stay put out. This one case is painful enough. Alas! there others
 This warning of the Attorney Generals
 might be taken well elsewhere The fact
 that county officers in Kansas during the
 last three months have been reckless and
 have escaped without punishment merely in-
 dicates that the punishment possible under
 the circumstances too slight. Now it
 will be substantial.
 Who would have suspected such ostentatious contempt of the moral sentiment of the most moral of CommonweaIths? In the age of wicked ness the heyday of the saloon, was it the habit of public officers to make public advertisement of their drunkenness? Was Carry Nations wielded in vain? o Kansas Ichabod!

LIVING COSTS LOWER.

During the last six months of 1892, living costs declined 27 per cent. according to surveys made by the Federal Bureau of Statistics. The cost of living in December was 7.2 per cent. lower than it was in l917 but still 32l per cent in excess of what it was in 1913 Food, however, was an exception It was 13 per cent lower last December than in 1913. Since June 1920 the peak month, living costs have lowered slightly more than se per cent.

A NINE-POINT PROGRAM.

Former Senator J. R. Heckman whose suggeste fisheries program recently endorsed by u Chambers of Commerce of Ketchikan and Junea in a letter sent various salmon packers answert what he termed query often propounded to hl by them: What do you expect us to do to relie' the situation?"
 He proposed nine-point program as follows:
 q. Use your best efforts to have the fishing regulations changed so as to be fair to the seiners.
 "2. Purchase one-third of your salmon boxes in Alaska, this giving several hundred men few months work. This may cost a little more, but will pay in the long run. The trade will take them in wooden boxes if they can't get the fiber box.
 "3 Purchase your wire netting in AL aska made by all Alaska labor, which you can get at a competitive price and lose no money.
 A Place part of your insurance with Alaska insurance agents, for they can write it as cheaply as they can in Seattle.
 "5. Employ as much cannery labor in Alaska as possible, paying living wage; this applies also to captains, engineers, cooks deckhands etc, but few of the can- neries do this
 Trhe Alaska Pacific Salmon Company em- ployed all local labor in Ketchikan, and paid living wage, and packed 100000 cases at much lower cost than the OedVCle contldCV labor would have cost them.
 s6. Patronize marine ways in Alaska as does the Alaska Pacific Salmon Com pany.
 "7 Pay off your Alaska help with checks drawn on Alaska banks
 "8 Bring to Alaska liberal amount of cotton seine nets, and furnish same to the local fishermen, and buy their fish. In the last two years they have used up their old nets trying to make enough to live on They are unable to buy now, and are down and out
 "9. Should you short of keg of nails, steam valve a coil of rope, etc, don't wire to Seattle for it but purchase same from some one of the local stores" There is nothing radical about MT. Heckman proposals. Nor is there any point in the progral that hasn't been suggested to the packing interes for many years past. Some of the individual con panies have put most if not all of it into effec But the canning industry in general sense hs failed to adopt it. For it's own best interests as we as to the welfare of the Territory, upon who's resources it depends wholly for continued existenc it should accept the nine points and live up to thei fully.

CHAPTER 25. CRUCIFYING CONSTANTIA

Patsy's assertion that he traded on his crippled body entirely in- furiated Mark. It was the first time in his life that his plea for special concessions had been brush ed aside. He became smllingly venomous. He said
 Another thing that will pre- vent you from ever amounting to anything is that fact that you are ul.educated. Such broad effects as you get, you get photographic cally-you don't develop them by means of a cultured observation Tn short, you can only mimic; you can't create"
 You better go and tell that to the Watcher they printed a whole column about my art being the only creative"
 It was the harrasseo dresser who, ten minutes later, managed to intervene. And even then no def mite truce was called until the door was flung wide and bunch of young men and women slith- cred into the dressing room With much Haunting of bad language end many endearments, they jost- led each other upon the thresh- old and demanded the company of Patsy Raul for the rest of the night.
 Marks excitement increased. He was not impressed by the enam- eled costumes of the women, nor by the over-confident bearing of the men, but he saw at least the avenues of approach to world that must be made to take heed of him.
 "Ah, madame la duchesse, I feel so sorrow" Miss Raoul was apolo- gizing. But no, asleep must go; much late hours ee-nervate, not?" She pointed derisively at Mark. But there, there is cree ative artist who can rest all the day, as I cannot"
 The scented and bejeweled flock turned inquiringly. Mark lifted his eyes to those of a dark skinned straight-backed woman, whose hair was hidden under a sort of bath ing cap of gold bronze.
 My passports" he murmered, offering her the sketches. %
 She made a great deal of noise over them and her companions, who she was persuaded to let them siare her raptures, made a great deal more. A young woman whom Mark recognized as the Duchess of Northering Topped to the seat beside him. She was more heav- fly made up than Patsy Raoul, and nearly as thin.
 But you must be most decom- posingly clever" she announced. These things are simply decom- posingly good You must draw me next-everybody always draws me and then. they draw Constania -" she looked with malice at a short woman in a backless dress of yellow. She'll pay you lot but I shall be far better adver- tisement for you. You must see that. Isn't Patsy Raoul quite too urgent, really?" x
 'fShe doesn't like me- said Mark. Do you, Miss Raoul? I think perhaps she's jealous of me' x
 Take him away, May" cons manded Miss Raoul with every sign of disgust.
 Mark allowed himself to be ta- ken. There were more of the crew, apparently, outside in the Do ssage.
 "Hullo, Mark"
 Mark looked up from prodigous labor with the crutch-for in spite of their sympathy and admiration for him, none of his friends seem- ed to think it necessary to wait for him or help him-and discovered Leila.
 "Hullow, Leila! As one country cousin to another, where are these grand ladies and gentlemen talk

 T do wish you'd buy these stu dies of Miss Raul?" he said as she turned. They're forty pounds each"
 She laughed the half-titter, half sneering laugh of the grossly rich. You certainly have nerve! And anyway, they were only twenty back in the theatre"
 "Ah!" smiled Mark But they've doubled their value since then" He lifted one little so that she could see what was upon it's back. He saw a purplish red mount under her powder, mount to the roots of her hair; her black eyes squinted for a second.
 "Is that how I look to you?" she muttered.
 Not really, no," Mark admitted. But you see, I happen to want money and you happen to have it. Ard who are either of us to strug- gle against our fate?"
