Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Mistakeless Man.

Here's to the man who never makes
The things we mortals call mistakes!
The man whose soul and brains ano
heart
Are of this common clay no part!
No Duty chides him for neglect.
His reasoning is all correct
And no emotions intervene
To make his beauty less serene.
He builds no structures such as rise
Through vigils long with weary eyes.
He never ventures, truth to tell,
Save ON a path he knows full well.
He needs no monument of stone
To share the praise that is his own.
No other statue serves his pride.
He is perfection petrified.

Every statesmans public utterances
express admiration for Lincoln. Wisdom
is most appreciated when expressed by
one who has departed this life. Time
Sits out rancorous details and leaves
behind the nobility of Truth. Threats
of a fierce campaign do not pledge a
campaign of calm and conscientious
discernment.

A Rhyme at Twilight

Lifes Lessons
A child was playing in q field.
Above him the blue sky,
Gay meadow flowers meath his feet.
Happy-he knew not why.
Fate fingered by him, whispering,
Come, learn a leSSon-sorrow"
He picked some daisies, and replied,
I'm busy now-tomorrow."
Then Fate cried, Child, you now must
learn .
Wisdom-the why Of things"
But the sunny eyes were following
A Ssnager's bright wings.

In June.

In June.
All the world Is young again;
Tenderly and sweet,
Birds sound forth the old refrain
Where the branches meet.
Every heart must have q mate
In such days as these,
Swinging on the garden gate
Or swinging in the trees.
Madrigals that thrill the air
Rise from shore to shore;
Every being mocks at care,
Turning troubadour.
Trustingly they question fate
With their melodies,
Swinging on the garden gate
Or swinging in the trees.
What we call bravery in one who
succeeded" said Hi Ho, the sage Of
Chinatown, becomes recklessness in one
who did not"

The threat Of third party ticket, held
out by Father Coughlin. in which the
Coughlinites, the Townsendites and the
followers of the late Huey p. Long may
all be interested, will be something to
consider If it ever materializes. That it
could be successful in the national elec-
ton probably no one seriously believes
for a minute-not even its promoters.
It might however, cause considerable
trouble for one or both Of the major
political parties. The Republicans be-
lieve that such a third party would wean
votes away from RooSevelt-the radical
votes which the New Deal has sought to
bring into line and will continue to seek.
The Roosevelt leaders, on the other hand,
see in third party division Of the
opposition to the reelection of President
Roosevelt, and such a division, they in
sist, can only help the President to sue
cess. This Is q mere matter of opinion
for the present and can only continue
such until third party ticket is actually
put in the field. There seems grave doubt
that 1t will ever be formally launched
and have q place on the ballots next
November. The late Senator Robert M.
La Toilette of Wisconsin, in 1924, headed
third ticket on q progressive platform.
He carried a single State, his own, when
the election took place. The La Toilette
progressive ticket was an aid, II any
thing, to the Republicans In that year.

margin over John w. Davis, the Demo-

MEAT OUTPUT
TO Be HIGHER
Current Production Placed
at IS Per Cent Above
10-Year Average.

1tmeS Special
TOPEKA, Kan, March 12.-Meat
production in the United States this
year will probably be slightly great
er than 1885 production, although
still apparently II or Is per cent
below the 10-year average just pre-
ceding, said George M. Lewis, Chi
cago, associate director of the De-
partment of Marketing of the Insti-
tute Of American Meat Packers, said
today.
Beef production this year prob
ably will be somewhat larger than
normal, he said, although hardly as
large as the unusually large amount
produced in either Of the last two
years.
As to pork, however, the long-ex-
pected upturn in hog production has
already begun. the annual live stock
survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture having shown
312 million more hogs on American
farms in January, 1886, than in the
preceding January. This increase
in production should be reflected in
increased marketings very soon.
IF normal weather conditions
prevail, the Federally inspected
slaughter of hogs in 1886 will prob
ably be between 81 and 80 million
head, as compared to last years 26
million, whic haccording to the De-
partment of Agriculture was the
lowest since 1910, and the second
lowest since 1862" Mr.. Lewis as
serted.

Credit for reduction in the inter-
est bill, however, has been disputed.
Administration critics contend that
it is due to conditions in the money
markets and lack of confidence in
private enterprise over a consider
able period, rather than any canni-
ness on the part of the Treasury.
New Dealers Claim Credit
The New Deal experts claim a
share of the credit by asserting that
close supervision of financial con-
dltlonS and careful avoidance of
overselling-and consequently glut-
ting the market-has aided in the
rate reduction and maintained pop
ular demand for Treasury offerings.
Another factor credited with aid
ing in lowering interest rates is the
Hoover created Reconstruction FL
nance Corp.
New Deal refinancing was begun
early in 1884 when interest rates
were near 80 per cent compared to
the present 2.551. The chief aim of
the early financing was to substi-
tute for large sums of the war time
debt, paying high interest rates, low
interest-bearing securities.
Largest Interest in 1919
AT the same time, dollar devalua.
ton profits to the extent of $344.-
244,o50 have been used to pay off
three issues of 2 per cent bonds.
The debt at the end of last month
was $29, 9,449, 1903 $40, as compared
with $26, ,480, ,487, 800 in 1884. At the
same time interest charges yearly
have been reduced from $842 ,3Ol. :
1873 to $751, ,236,447 and computed
rates by more than O5 per cent.
The largest interest burden ever
carried by the Treasury was in 1919
when interest charges on debt CT
$25,234, ,496,273 were 81 ,054 ,2O4, 500 at
rates computed at 4,178 per cent.

rate on the incomes of all cor
porations. But clearly some dis
tinction ought to be made be-
tween the corporation which is
content with a moderate profit of
6 or z per cent and the corpora
ton which manages to collect
enormous percentages in profits.
EOR instance, let us take two
Il corporations, one with an in
vestment. of $100,000,000 and one
with an investment of $4,000, 900.
The first gives work perhaps to
large numbers of men, does large
business, contributes largely to the
business activity of the country.
The second involves small in
vestment, employs few men, makes
a minor contribution toward the
business activity of the country.
But both these corporations have
profits of $5,000,0oo. The $1O0,O00,-
600 corporation will thus have a
profit Of per cent. The $10,-
100000 corporation with the same
money profit will have a rate of
profit of SO per cent.
THERE is no reason why cor
Il poration enjoying such exces-
sive rates should not pay heavier
taxes than the corporation operat-
ing on a moderate rate. At the
present time we have moderate
excess profits tax.
Corporations must pay from 1215
to Is per cent of their income, but
If the net income is in excess of
10 per cent, they must pay an ad-
ditional 6 per cent on the excess.
If it Is in excess of Is per cent
they must pay II per cent on the
excess.
AS the necessity for laying taxes
to meet the gigantic costs of the
government and of relief is faced,
we will be compelled to turn to the
excess profits tax. The alternative
is to lay the burden on the backs
of the food-eaters and wage-earn-
ers of America. This principle of
taxation the President now pro-
poses to scrap.

are to eliminate red tape and dupli-

every sensible citizen knows that
sooner or later the enormous bills

This means that the nation faces
in the next three or four years
the necessity of levying more and
