LASTING PROGRESS

The agricultural legislative situa-
ton is, to put it mildly, in a chaotic
state.
The Supreme Court found the
AAA unconstitutional months ago
Immediately Congress was deluged
with new farm relief proposals. A
bill, based on the Soil Conservation
Act of 1885, has been passed-but
many authorities, including some of
the legal experts who helped frame
it, are uncertain as to its constitu-
tionality.
During depression much progress
in farming has been made. Farmers
have learned how to produce better
crops on smaller acreages-they
have gone ahead perfecting market
ing machinery that gives them a
fair break in dealing with distribu-
tors. Thousands Of them have got
ten new understanding of such
problems as the tariff and monetary
standards, which vitality, If Indirect
ly; affect agriculture's welfare.
This progress has come, not from
politics, but from farm cooperatives,
created and owned by farmers to
study production and distribution Of
farm crops. II is the kind Of pro-
gress that is lasting, and is not de-
termined by the ebb and flow Of po-
litical movements, or by the action
of courts on legislation.

It is that bills which they oppose

That bill was introduced weeks
ago. It's opponents generally were
encouraged to believe that it would

committee ordered hearings.

had no opportunity TO prepare them

Consequently, when the hearings
were called. few opponents were

fly could not, therefore, answer the

Economists and tax experts point
out that the taxes which the cor
porate profits levy would replace
have been proved fertile sources OF
revenue and the possibilities are,
therefore, that when the government
begins raising more money to pay
the present stupendOus debt the re-
pealed taxes will be revived.
The Washington Daily News had
this to say on the Temporary. taxes:
Nor should we be lulled by the
adjective temporary For tempo

taxes were put on the books in. 1882
for temporary period Of only two
years. Secretary Of the Treasury
Ogden Mills asked for them to bal
ance the budget But the budget
was still not balanced in 1884. so
the nuisance taxes were extended for
one year more. And in 1885 they
were extended for two years more.
And in 1897 ven probably hear a
request fof further extension.

EDITORIAL

we wish to mention here the ap-
pearance of the boys of our school.
1t has been very noticeable, lately,
that practically all of them have
been keeping up their personal ap-
pearance much better than the boys
of former years.
The last few weeks, especially
there have been all kinds of ties and
brands of hair oils flashing before
the eyes of the student body and
faculty. The girls have all been
very complimentary in their re-
marks about these improvements SO
keep it up, boys, whether It's Tor
the girls special benefit or not, even
though we suspect that it is.

necessary to insure good govern
ment, reduce tax rates and relieve
the people of this state of some OF
their burden. The Revenue Bill OF
1885 is producing more than was es-
timated and the returns from the
sales tax will undoubtedly increase
during the next biennium. Unem-
ployment relief should not require
as great an appropriation; much
construction work has been done at
the expense of the federal govern
ment: and the common schools need
no additional funds The Cover
nor,s budget, as presented in 1888,
could be reduced in many IN
stances, and the savings mace would
be gratefully received by the work
ers of the state.
Legislators should think OF more
WAYS to reduce governmental COST
and the consequent tax rates, ana
less of measures to insure spending
all that the government can get'
with. perhaps, an added deficit"

held, Sunday afternoon, and 1T was
discovered that the larger part OF
the cast did not know it's lines Tor
the two acts. Miss King is taking
each one out of a class period and
letting them study. Practice was
held from 200 until $3.50 every day
this week-and there were a couple
of night practices. It will take
much intensive practice before the
play is ready for presentation. An
