SOLDIER BONUS IN FORM OF INSURANCE Congress, after long consideration of a proposed bonus for soldiers of the World War, is in fair way to enact a bonus measure, even though President Coolidge may interpose his veto. The Senate, by overwhelming vote, has adopted the insurance form of bonus virtually as it passed the House. Minor differences between the two houses must be composed before the measure goes to the President. President Coolidge has declared against a bonus. But proponents of the insurance plan hold that the President's opposition was and is to a cash bonus, not to the bonus, per se. They entertain hope that sanction of the insurance plan will come from the White House. Even if vetoed, the measure probably would be passed over the veto. Whatever may be done for the soldiers of the World War could not be, in the very nature of things, full compensation for their gallant services. They have earned more than the Nation ever can do for them. The bonus is called a "compensation" measure. Strictly speaking, it is not this, nor could it be. For the services and sacrifices made by World War soldiers cannot be compensated adequately, in dollars and cents. The insurance plan has been accepted, in principle, by high officials of the American Legion. It may not meet the desires of all the service men, many of whom have been staunch advocates of a cash bonus. But should the insurance measure become law, it doubtless will be found that it provides such measure of relief as will be welcomed by the veterans and WELCOME FEDERAL LEAD IN PLAGUE FIGHT Two outstanding advantages to California and the west should be derived from the successful mission of a committee of prominent Californians who are in Washington to induce the national authorities to assume full control of the fight on the hoof and mouth disease in California— By co-ordinating forces and by unifying efforts of national, state, county and municipal authorities, the disease should be brought under control much sooner than otherwise; And assumption, by the national Department of Agriculture, of direction and supervision of quarantine and other measures in this state, means that California fruits and vegetables, when certified by federal agents of the Department of Agriculture, will be permitted to move freely in interstate commerce, in normal way. This is very enheartening to California. Through foolish extremes of quarantine and embargo, this state's orchard and garden industries were threatened with confiscatory restrictions which would have meant losses of millions of dollars. Happily, this disaster will be averted. There should be the most earnest co-operation on the part of all Californians in the strenuous efforts being made to save the livestock industry of this state from extinction. Observe the quarantine, even though you may consider some of its regulations unduly rigid. PLANT BEANS Prospects are good for high prices this year. I have Lima, Henderson, Bush and Black-Eye Seeds.

A few years ago girls used expensive outfits to burn designs on wood. Now a little carelessness with cigarette butts suffices. The only reason a political machine is more powerful than the people is because it knows what it wants. People are not capable of self-government so long as they will trust a candidate that the corner grocer won't. And so the tendency is in the direction of smaller farms. Well that's good. You can't lost much on a small farm. We shall not get excited until some statesman comes forward with a plan to save the country without passing a new law.

POEMS THAT LIVE DEATH THE LEVELLER The glories of our blood and state Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate, Death lays his ice hand on kings: Sceptre and Crown Must tumble down, And in the dust be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade. Some men with swords may reap the field, And plant fresh laurels where they kill: But their strong nerves at last must yield; They tame but one another still. Early or late They stoop to fate, And must give up their murmuring breath When they, pale captives, creep to death. The garlands wither on your brow; Then boast no more your mighty deeds! Upon Death's purple altar now, See where the warrior victim bleeds. Your heads must come To the cold tomb; Only the actions of the just Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.

A city chap happened to be passing at the time, and said to himself: "This poor old farmer is deaf and dumb." So, as he was thirsty, he took out some paper and a pencil, wrote: "Will you sell me a quart of fresh, cool milk?" and handed the note over the fence. The farmer stopped his finger exercises, read the note, got up without a word and went into the house. He was back in a minute with a full pitcher. The city chap drank the milk and wrote "How much?" on another slip of paper. For answer the farmer held up five fingers three times. The city chap paid him, nodded and started off. But as he was passing out of the gate he heard a chuckle and the words: "Hi, mother! I jest sold a short quart o' sour milk for 15 cents to a dummy!" A salesman recently married and was accompanied by his wife as he entered the dining-room of Texas hotel famed for its excellent cuisine. His order was served promptly, but the fried chicken he had been telling his wife so much about was not in evidence. "Where is my chicken?" he asked somewhat irritably. The dusky waiter, leaning over and bringing his mouth in close proximity to the salesman's ear, replied: "If no house mean do till ill will." Taxes Take $12 of Every $100 Earned Goes for Government Expenses. The American people are in revolt against high taxes. It is a peaceful revolt, but insistent and growing. Therefore, it behooves the politician and public officials to walk softly and carry a pruning knife for governmental waste and expense. This was the warning given recently by Lewis E. Pierson, president of the Merchants' Association of New York, vice president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, and well-known banker. "The vast majority of hard working, tax paying Americans are beginning to see that governmental extravagance is a menace to themselves, that homes, and their country," Mr. Pierson said. "Today the American nation is loaded down with a tax burden greater in amount than that ever borne by any other single nation since history began. "Out of a national income of $58,000,000,000, the United States in 1922 took more than $7,000,000,000 for taxes. About $2,900,000,000 was taken for federal taxes, nearly $850,000,000 was taken by the states, and $3,300,000,000 was taken for city and local taxes. "Combining all the taxes on the American people, it follows that 12 per cent of every dollar earned in the United States was devoted to payment of some kind of taxes. Incredible as it seems, $12 out of every $100 earned was used to pay the expenses of government." A salesman recently married and was accompanied by his wife as he entered the dining-room of Texas hotel famed for its excellent cuisine. His order was served promptly, but the fried chicken he had been telling his wife so much about was not in evidence. "Where is my chicken?" he asked somewhat irritably. The dusky waiter, leaning over and bringing his mouth in close proximity to the salesman's ear, replied: "Ef youse mean de ll'gal with blue eyes an' fluffy hair, she doan w'k heah no mo'." WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS TOM SHAW Among the men most prominently mentioned for places in the new British cabinet, the formation of which will come with the expected resignation of Premier Baldwin and his cabinet, is Tom Shaw, Laborite. Shaw is talked of for the post of foreign secretary. He is one of the most picturesque figures in British labor and political circles. His full name is Tom Shaw and the brevity of it is in striking contrast to many of the marathon names prefixed with titles galore, which appear around it in the British Who's Who. Shaw had been a leader in labor movements for many years before the workers sent him to parliament for the first time from President in 1918. He was a member of the delegation of labor men sent to Russia in 1920 to observe the conditions existing under and the progress of the soviet regime there. He is a staunch supporter of J. Adamsay MacDonald, the man named to take Baldwin's place as premier. Yeomen Dance Monday Evening April 28th PERLUSS HALL Admission, 50c each All in the Method "Suppose instead of taxing the individual indirectly the government had compelled the people to remit their taxes directly out of their earnings. What an overwhelming roar of protest would arise. There is no more urgent problem than that presented by the increase in rents. An investigation disclosed that the average New York tenant is paying two months' rent each year in city taxes. This is one-sixth of all the money received by landlords. A similar study will reveal approximately the same situation in every city. About $3,300,000,000 raised to pay the yearly tax bills is coming from taxes on real estate. Labor Feels the Pinch "It is well to remember that labor itself is in the grip of the same vicious circle of high taxes, high rents and high cost of living. The high cost of living results from a multitude of factors in addition to taxation. But somewhere every dollar of the billions paid in taxes tends to increase the prices of the commodities of commerce and consequently is reflected in living costs. Our present high surtax rates are diverting capital from industry and into tax exempt bonds. The net effect on the workers is that their government not only is making them pay excessive prices for everything they buy with their wages but, in addition, by imposts on industry is making present jobs less secure and future jobs less certain."
