T IS strange how things go, The Wilson administration urar-
ed the payment of $2;,000,000 to Colombia as an act ot jus
tice for havinsr taken tiie canal zone through a coup d' etat.

Lodge opposed the move, claiming it was a sentimental affair
nnd that the United States owed Columbia nothing. In the pres-
t'ii congress uoiige cnangcu ironi completely ana iranKiy mm
one reason for the flop was that we desire to secure oil in Colom
lua and need the good will of the southern republic. The Wil
son policy was to make friends by fair dealing, the Lodge plan
is to buy them.

Tin: rin.s t h at Mrrrii
When a fellow's got tin' old
An' lii tale in mostly told.
When lie knows lif. has in store
At the host a few years more.
An' it's settled In his mind
That he isn't coin' to rind
Any mine of gold, or claim
Ppecinl notices from fame.
Then he gels in closer touch
With the things that matter much.
Youth looks eer far away
To norne better, other tiny
That is always icoin' to be.
When be ll sain the victory;
Then he's always got his eyes
On some glittering future prise
Whiih he fancies he may win
Siite of all his blundcrin'
Tallin' all along Oie way
Ue'U do something big sonic day.
Hut the champions are few
An' the great deeds hard to do.
An' the dreamers by nn' by
See things with a clearer eye
An' discover not at all
t"an the pomp of slory fall;
Most of us must settle down
Kindin" peace without renown,
illad that we can come an' go
Ix.yed by those God lets us know.
When a fellow's pettln' old
An' his talo is mostly Old.
An' the famo he's dreamed about
From his life has faded but.
Then he finds that friends are more
Than the gold he'd hungered for,
An' he'd rather spend his hours
With his children fn' his flowers
An' his neighbors, for In such
Is the peace which matters much.
EARNING that his allowance of $100,000 a year had been
stopped, Jack Cudahy, son of the millionaire packer,
killed himself at Los Angeles yesterday. Here was a man
who bad a chance to really live and he did not realize his good
lortune. The man who toils whether with hand or brain, gets
zest from life. He is in the game and it is a man's game. The
loafer merely exists. Fighting no battle he never knows the joy
of accomplishment. He is one of the world's unfortunates and
when given a chance thinks he is mistreated.
The Medford chamber of commerce is being improved
and one of the boasts of the Mail Tribune is that the chamber1
will be under democratic control; last fall they were blaming
everything under the sun upon democratic control.
Thp SalpTfi Stntesman declares Salem will havp mnro tmirist

numbering and holding certain tourists. , l
They treated President Harding so well in New York that
iie is going back right away.
An Italian says he is building an airship that will operate be
tween fans and lew lork carrying 850 passengers, making the
trip in 14 hours w ith a charge of but $50 for the trip. Jle may
not be such a colossal liar as one might think.
According to the old saying there'll be flowers in May for
Pendleton ; but then we always have flowers in May here.

ABAS THE SALES TAX
The retrenchment idea applies to baseball teams also
those discarded Moosejaw players will testify.
Commencement orators will soon begin training.
as
ALONG with other newspapers, the East Oregonian has been
favored with propaganda in favor of a sales tax as a sub
stitute for the excess profits tax. All such material has
been carefullv filed in the waste basket.
The sales tax is a beautiful scheme to shift the burden of
paying for the war from the shoulders of the rich to the should
ers of people who are poor or of moderate means.
The sales tax would work an especial injustice on farmers
who are now hard pressed. A general sales tax would force the
farmer to pay a tax on the pale of his crop even though he sold
his product at an actual loss. Such a scheme is not fair and it
wih not be relished by Eastern Oregon farmers who face the
possibility of selling $1 wheat for 75 cents a bushel. Unlike the
manufacturer or the jobber the farmer could not pass the bur
den along.
i There are also good reasons for believing the retailer would
'n"t find the sales tax entirely inviting. The retailer is the man
who faces the ultimate consumer who is clamoring for lower
prices and refuses to buy unless he gets them. Under the sales
tax plan the ultimate consumer would be the goat and Mr.
Fetailer is the man who w ould have to deal at first hand with
ilr. and Mrs. Goat.
The excess profits tax may have its faults but it has some
remarkable virtues. . One of these is that it requires the man
ivho has made big profits to pay the big tax. The sales tax would
relieve the profiteer and millionaires in general of the burden
they now carry. But that burden would merely be shifted to
others less able to pay.

QOMETIMES the activities of the blind are marvelous. Most
nraispworthv is the work of a sightless scientist in Illinois.
V-J H ha invented a new tVDe of airship which he calls the
..aeralane, which ha3 responded successfully to the trials made.
It differs from other machines in that the planes are circular,
six in number and are at the top of the invention. They work
something after the manner of a turbine. This enables the air
craft to arise like a bird and to hover in the same manner. No
extensive runway is necessary to make a start and the matter of
alighting is made simpler and easien If all works well many of
the hazards of the flying game would be removed, as these are
usually concerned with the landing of the machine or its "hop-
i ngoff."
Blindness usually results in a high development of the other
gonses which may be used to great advantage. A blind person
is far from being helpless. Some of the tragedies of the war are
finding themselves and proving themselves of real value to in
d ustry. Selected.
SANTIAGO, Chile, April 21. (A
P.) A lost emerald mine near this
city has bct-n revealed "through spir.t
control" to Mrs. E. B. Patterson, of
Cumberland Gap. Tennessee, accord
ing to a letter received? at the United
States Embassy here from Sirs. Patter.
I son in which she aska whether em
eralds are commonly found in this re
public. She writes the "mine was concealed
many years ago and that is has been
so photosraphed on her mind's eye"
she would recognize the spot Immedi
ately. The rich deposits, she adds,
may now be found in stratas below the
arth's surface near Santiago.
So far as known, emeralds have
never been found in any quantity in
this section of Chile.
Chicago has decided to rent out Its
firo fln;irtment on taxicab rates to
towns within 100 miles. Certain com
panies do more for suburbs for which
they receive no compensation than
they do for tho city.

LOXDOX, April 21. (A. P.) The
l-mineowners late last night completed
proposals which, it was believed, may
go some way towards the settlement
of the coal strike. The proposals, r
sulting from a conference between the
owners and government officials,
where a revision of their previous of
fer to the miners was concerned, are:
csKiuusnment ot a national wage
board.
Application of national principles to
wases1 in each district, based on the
financial condition of the industry.
Teriods for ascertaining district re
sults to be settled nationally.
Minimum wages to be determined
nationally. . '
To turn over as wages to the work
ers in addiUon to these rates, the
whole of tho surplus revenue avail
able in each district during the ab
normal period.
To satisfy the workers' represenlia-
ties iu each district that the district !
is proposing to pay all the wages It
can bear.
To confer with the workers' repre
sentaUves on wages of the lowtr paid
man. ,
To seek an agreement with the
workers on a national basis regarding
the future relation between wages and
profits. ,
lroviding for a. joint audit of the
mine owners' books. t !
It Is possible that the next 24 hours
may see the reopening of negotiations
although the miners appear desirous
of awaiting the result of their dele
gates' meeting Friday.
Meanwhile the shortage of coal Is
growing more serious. In many of the
poorer districts of Indon and other
cities coal cannot be obtained and long
lines of women wait in the hope of ob
taining sufficient to keep warm. Every
hour sees more factories closed.
It is estimated that between 800 and
900 steamships are tied up.
