When she was safely in the car

her, a few questions yielded illum-

She had 81 in the room. Salary?
We guessed it was around $50 a
month but we didn't ask. We would
have felt ashamed that in this great
nation there was not enough to pay
her more.

time to hang on the walls, cram

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

If DIR. Townsend, kind and good
obsessed by the ignis fatus, the
will-o'-the wisp, of 5000 a month
from the federal treasury for all
aged people, those old men and
women and their relatives would
today be about two millions of dol
lars better off than they are. That
is the reported cost of the Plan
up to now. The billions drawn from
the federal treasury to pay those
pensions would have brought the
country to the beginning of an in
flation more dangerous, because
more continuous, than that which
followed the war between the
states. True, we came out of that"
but it was at the cost of the hard
est times, the most enormous col
lapse of trade, farming, factories
and banking, that the United
States had known from its begin
ming in 1776.
Reason and Sense
We assume that the political cam
paign which lies ahead will be bit
ter and mean.
Politics gives plenty of chance for
misunderstanding and i'll feeling.
On the other hand, political
campaign is a necessity under a
form of government where the peo-
pie rule. A country that is managed
by a dictator may get along more
smoothly for awhile than one in
which the people prevail. But dicta-
torships always end up in revolu-
ton and bloodshed.
A political campaign may give a
basis for bad feeling and un-
friendly sentiments. On the other
hand it offers splendid opportun-
ity for intelligence. In 1886 there
will be need for reason and sound
sense in politics. We believe that
these elements will eventually
dominate. The people of the nation
have never strayed very far from
the path Of reason and good sense
and whenever they have left such
a course they have always turned
back to it.
History will repeat itself.-Grant

Birds Die As Snow Weighs Down Wings

Olivia.-The spring birds returned from the south
several days early this year At least that should
be the conviction of several hundred birds of the
family of Song Sparrows that persisted in belated

the snow and heavily weighted with moisture and
ice, the birds committed suicide in wholesale man
ner by flying against buildings and other objects.
Hundreds of dead birds found on the streets
the next morning Several Olivia people rescued a
number of the cripples and brought them to shelter
ed places in attempt to their lives.

of the not forthcoming payroll when he suggested
that fishing license be raised from so cents to

 OF PRESIDENT
Some Democrats Hint Con- gress May Alter Program
 Charges Are Made

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Pow- erful Democrats hint that Congress may drastically alter President Roosevelt's tax program.
 Bitter warning camps of Repub- licans also charge that the program is an attack "on thrift"
 President Roosevelt, in his tax program, given to Congress yester- day, makes sweeping changes in the law, including imposition of a tax on undistributed corporation prof it's and repeal of the present gradr uated corporation income tax.
 Also proposed is a processing tax, to be spread broader and thinner than those outlawed by the Supreme Court; "windfall" tax, to recover much of the processing taxes which have been returned to the taxpay- CTS; repeal of the existing capital stock tax; repeal of corporation excess profits tax.
 A tax averaging B 1-3 percent on undistributed corporation prof it's was recommended in Congress today by the Treasury Department as a means of raising $786, 100000 in new revenue and restoring the Federal budget toward balance.

TREASURY MEN APPROVE STAND
 OF RACE HEADS

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Gov- ernment authorities regard the three steps taken recently by the National Association of Racing Commissioners as the greatest ad- vance ever made toward curbing. the doping of race horses.
 At their January meeting the na- tional association agreed to refuse licenses to anyone convicted of a narcotic offense, to give the saliva test to every race winner and to further research work.
 The successful operation of these new rules will be the greatest step ever taken toward handling the doping problem" one Treasury De- partment official said. The Bureau of Narcotics is under the treasury.
 The saliva test was used last year but in most cases the horses tested were drawn by lot. Two States took samples of every win ner and then drew one to be tested.
 The refusal to again license those convicted lessens the Governments problems, for it will not have to worry further about those once ruled out
