Itr RICHARD I.LOVD JONES IV ONE of Maeterlinck's stories he telis of a powerful man of the Middle Ages who conceived great p.ans and executed them, but always with difficulty. Frequently he al most f&iied. and succeeded only by superhuman effort. Finally he found that a secret enemy was always work ing against his most careful plans, neutralizing his most strenuous ex ertions. Aa the years passed he determined to And and destroy this enemy. Life was not worth living with this hid den f oa forever encircling him with difficulties. One evening he went out for a walk He saw another man approaching him. By that strange instinct which warns us of danger he knew that this man was his life long enemy. He resolved to kill hira. As he approached, he observed that this man wore a mask. But, conscious that this was the antagonist of his life, he said as they met: You are the man who from my youth till now has been pursuing me, thwarting me, almost defeating me. I mean to kill you, but I will give you a chance for your life. Draw and defend your aeif." The stranger said as ha drew his word, "I am at your service, but first see who it is that yot wouid fight," He removed his mask and the man stood before himself. This fable is true of every one of us. Where you think an enemy has injured you, look closely and nine times out of ten you will find your self in the form of your habits. It is a common practice to blame the world and not ourselves for our failings. Look deep enough and you will usually find that it is not the world that stands in your way, but yoo yourself. If there is any evil in us, bad hab its will rlnvlnn it knA than is sviril in all of us. Put your strength to ! the test, but never your weakness. Dare to try the apparently impossible tasks if they are tasks for good; nev er fear failure all the world loves a good loser; and when you fail in the right, your defeat is only the be ginning of final victory. Day by day civilization is demand ing more of each one of us more that is pure and strong. Twentieth century society tolerates no weak ness, no taint in individual workers. ; Today every man must be above sus picion. Each one of us must be proof against calumny. Everybody is lied about sometimes by envy, sometimes by ignorance. Never resent a false hood about yourself after all it is a test of your reputation. Let your life, not your words, be your rebuke to slander. You defeat yourself when you stoop to the slanderer's low level. Noble living is all the armor you need to wear. Silence is the most elttuent answer that can be made to the slanderer and it is the sure searchlight that will reveal the slan derer's shame and put hira in com plete df? repute. Be so true to yourself that yon never need to fear yourself and you will never need to fear the world. THE FARMER IS SEEING THE LIGHT. SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER OF Kansas, Chairman of the farm bloc, says: "The legislation which must be enacted in the near future to help cure the agricultural situa tion is in no sense class legislation. Agriculture is the only foundation upon which the state and nation can securely rest." Capper also insists that Congress must put through the complete rural credit plan and it must pass a consti tutional amendment prohibiting tax exempt securities. The programme is ambitious, but in the main sound and constructive. Evidently the farmer, however, has come to see the evil effect of inequit able and unscientific taxation. In our hunger for money we creat ed the tax-exempt security and urged the rich to absorb it.

MASSES OF AMERICA NdT ENSLAVED THE reports on life insurance and bank pavirfr are at once astonish ing and pleasing. They indicate more than prosperity and wealth in the ration. They show that, with ail the extravagance that exists among' the foolish, there is growing thrift1 among the wise. 1 The savings figures, which com j from the American Bankers' Asso-1 ciation. show an increase of a billion 1 and a ha!f dollars in the savings ac counts of the banls of this country. 1 The American people have salted away eighteen billions, not includ ing what they have deposited in the postal savings system and the build ing and loan associations. What is equally encouraging, the individual accounts have grown more than two millions in number and now total about twenty-nine millions. The statistics on life Insurance, which in recent years has come to be regarded more and more as a me dium for savings as well as for the protection of dependents, are even more impressive than the bank fig ures. Forty large companies which are members of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents and which write three-quarters of the Hfe in surance business of this country, re port that they wrote last year pol icies totaling more than six and a third billions. The sensible American evidently is getting down to hard pan. Such sav ings and insurance figures as these can mean nothing else. The period of inflation which had its peak in 1920 is followed by sober thought about the future. Wages are still high. The saloon is happily eliminat ed. There is money in the worker's pocket. He finds rents swollen and starts saving in order to buy a home. Meanwhile he wishes to protect his family. Hence the savings bank ac count and the insurance policy. He may wish that he had saved more in the years of the largest inflation, but he can be comforted by the thought that so to do is not human nature. The banks and the insurance com panies have learned from experience hat th 'ings period follows in- flation, instead of paralleling it. When we remember that in 1890, a I generation ago. the deposits in all : the savings banks of this country j were only a billion and a half of dol- ! lars, it is astounding to find now that each year the people are putting away that amount and paying an equal amount on their life insurance. The total of alt bank deposits, sav ings and otherwise, was only four billions in 1890; now it is nearly forty billions! In 1890 there were scarcely more than a million life in surance policy holders; now there are twenty-three million policy holders. A country in which eleven million of its twenty-two million families own their homes, in which there are twenty-nine million savings accounts, in which there is an average of one life insurance policy for every home, is surely a country to be envied. And it is- refreshing to see, from statistics which spell thrift, that the extrava gance so prevalent in some places and among some classes has not pene trated the flesh and bone of the na tion. It is a particularly good sign of the national drift toward provident fore sight and an encouraging promise of prosperity and the conservation of the people's wealth when it is seen that now, in spite of high costs, in spite of the example of the wasteful, in spite of the many luxuries that tempt human nature, the majority of Americans, and particularly the wage earners, are saving a good portion of their incomes. The American people are not only the most fortunate on earth; they have discovered that good fortune can be kept. New York Herald. THE STATE INCOME TAX. THE state income tax measure is framed, and in the last days of the legislaltive assembly it will probably pass, as it is one of the pet measures of Governor Pierce, a companion piece to the proposed consolidation measure. The bill proposed seems to be a puzzle to both legislators and lawyers, and just how some of its provisions will work out is something left for the future to determine It is quite freely predicted, however, that the particular class expected to be reached those of wealth and large incomes ill escape, and the farmer and wage earner or salaried class will have to bear the burden of additional taxes, and it will be come a case of "more taxes vs. econ omy. as stated in the following from The Manufacturer: "That Oregon will be made the goat of a state income tax is a foregone conclusion. It will take a new de partment with state and county offi cials. "The federal income tax on top of high state and local taxes, and a state income tax. will make Oregon a state where capital will vanish. 4As the only state in the west with state income tax, investments of money will decline both by residents and by intending home-seekers. All real property and all personal property will still be exposed to high levies for roads and schools and money will go into hiding. "Where California and Washington and other western states are putting on the screws to cut their overhead O'-egor is raising a new tax. he tive million dollars to be raised by a state income tax, if it re duced other taxes that much, will benefit the farmers but litil. Three-fourths of the real estate is owned in cities and by big corpora tions and timber land corporations that will get the benefit.1 If these predictions should prove true in regard to the proposed state income tax, the more equitable dis tribution of the burden of taxation that its advocates are looking for will not materialize, but instead we shall have an additional burden of taxation placed upon those whom it is desired to relieve. A referendum on this measure, should it pass, will no doubt be called, but there appears to be strong opposition in the legisla ture and the bill may fail there. ONE MAN'S TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN. IXT to the destruction of the IV Confederacy, the death of Abra ham Lincoln was the darkest day the South has known." That quotation perpetuates one opinion of the greatest American an opinion which loses none of its force from the fact that the man who ut tered it was Jefferson Davis. Amer ican Legion Weekly. THE FIRST LABOR CORPOR ATION. Labor banks have ceased to be a novelty, but there is only a single labor corporation the Beech Grove Union Corporation. This shows that Amercian labor is thinking along cap italistic lines. Some are proposing the compulsory incorporation of un ions and their statutory regulation But the path of permission is the path of least resistance'. The induce ment of profit for labor by incorpora tion remains to be demonstrated, but at least a beginning is made by the first labor corporation, says the New lork Times. The corporation undertakes by its charter, constitution and by-laws: To promote a greater efficiency of tne individual workman. To increase the daily output of the individual. To increase the total production of the shop. To increase the profits of the em ployer. To establish a flexible plan for de-1 tcrmining wages, on a basis which adjusts the earnings of both the em- I ptojes and employer to the number of units of output rather than length of time worked. To increase the individual earnings of employes by first raising the effi ciency of the whole organization and reducing the production cost per unit of output Capital could not propose that pro gram to labor, but may welcome it from labor. This is the first admis sion by labor that wages do not come from profits. If wages come from capital there is a limit to their in crease, and they cease altogether when capital is expropriated. Labor can increase its share in the universal dividends of goods through quantity production by working with capital better than by fighting cap ital. The benefit lies not merely in incorporation but in the principles avowed. There are particular bene fits to labor through incorporation. Trade unions now accumulate funds by millions, which are used without the responsibility and safety afford ed by corporation methods. This pioneer corporation has realized for its members better wages than the Railroad Labor Board could allow to unions, and has done so by increasing shop efficiency 25 per cent, and thus reducing unit costs. A PRACTICAL MEASURE. THE reader of Senator Lenroot's ar- t guments in favor of his farm cred it bill can not fail to be impressed with the difference between that sen sible, constructive measure and the windy ideas advanced for agricultur al relief by those whose chief inter est in the industry centers in the size of the farmer vote that may be at tracted by a general appeal to dis content. The Lenroot measure, as its author ursti out fro REr DCWAVAN, 0(teH-A PH UHCLt voiim his COU-M BATHTUB' OIR Hl'MBl.F. FRIEND.

Call him pointed out, aims to provide for the ! farmer a credit system equivalent to that enjoyed by other bu.-ine men, that is, a credit sufficiently ex tensive to carry him through the per iod between the starting of a ciop ar.cl its marketing. The farmer's turn-over differs from that of the business man in other lines in hat it is not completed in a period of a few months, but may require a year, or even two or three years for com pletion. The Lenroot bill provides for a business like credit arrangement that will enable the farmer to n nance himself by loans which he can be assured will run until crop maturity, instead of, as now, being required to take his chances on obtaining num erous extensions of short time loans. The measure aims to put the far mer on a plane of equality with other business men as regards his finances and to enable him to carry on his business in a businesslike way. There is no socialistic Utopia planned by it through which the farmer may in some miraculous way be assisted without doing his part. There is no plan to make the farmer aa object of charity or a government pap sucker. Under the Lenroot plan the farmer merely is given his proper place as a business man, provided with cred it facilities adequate for his needs, and afforded the opportunity of go ing ahead with his business on busi ness lines. It is a safe guess that the average American farmer wants just that and not government coddling or public charity. It is what he has a right to expect. Milwaukee Sentinel. AUTOCA3TCK. SLOT MACHINE CHARITY. FAITH, Hope and Charity are the only permanent virtues. All the other virtues and all the othr graces are temporary. Charity dominated and controlled by love ia personal. The greatest dynamic that has ever moved any one is the dynamic of love. Whenever you reduce love to a mechanical basis or you reduce char ity to a slot machine method of ad ministering, you have blown out the light of love and you have chilled the personal touch, and have robbed vir tue of its heart. Whenever you administer charity by proxy or by an organization, which is more interested in investigation, registration, tabulation and confisca tion of the domestic skeleton than it is of administering charity, you have turned the sweetest sentiment earth into a mockery, a curse, and an object of contempt. Let each family in each church be responsible personally responsibli for some unfortunate family. Let them administer to that family, per sonally, visit it, clean its house, clothe its children, feed its hungry, nurse its sick, educate its ignorant, and sing the songs of cheer and hap piness and thus dispel its dullness and gloom. Then, and only then will you eradi cate suffering and put real charity back on its throne. Cursed thrice cursed be the slot machine charity.

Only 151 single men and 60 single women killed themselves. The conclusion seems to be that the mar ried folks are unhappier than the single folks, but that isn't so. It's all a question of percentage. The married couples are in the ma jority, so more of them sought the great adventure. It's a great thing in a metropolis of 5,000,000 people to find only 350 fools that want to get out of it Such a preponderance of men and women from the very rich to the very poor, who are content to remain with us, is pretty good proof that the old world is rather satisfac tory sort of place after all. The best way to decide if the world is worth living in is to give it a trial for seventy-five or eighty years and then sum up. FOR RENT Good room in private residence gentleman preferred.
