SONG
Stay, stay at home, my heart aud
rest;
Home keeping hearts are
' happiest,
For those that wander they know
not where
Are full of trouble and full of
care; '
To stay at home is best.
Weary and homesick and
distressed.
They wander east, they wander
west,
And are baffled and beaten
and blown about ,
By the winds of the wilderness
of doubt;
To stay at home is best.
Then stay at home, my heart, and
rest;
The bird is safest in it nest;
O'er all that flutter their win gs
and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.
H. W. Longfellow
THE TAX QUESTION
Treasury department estimates
American People will pay for all
kinds of taxes , direct and indi
rect, the round sum of ten till
ion dollars in the current fiscal
year.
This means that about one dol
lar out of every seven of the na
tional income goes for support of
various forms of government
federal, Btate, municipal and
county.
The tax burden cannot fco on
increasing. It is doubtful whether
it can be maintained at the pres
ent rate without serious conse
quences. Federal taxes are being pared
from every angle and it is now
up to the states, counties, and
cities to follow the example.
Condon Globe-Times
Universal Conscription
The American Lpgion we un
derstand is standing for the idea
of universal conscription of men
money and goods. .They argue
that there is rank justice in hold
ing the dollar more sacred than
the man and that if the soldiers
must serve for $3U per month
that the draft dodgers should
not be permitted to profit by the
soldiers absence from the compe
titive field to the extent of from
four to ten times the amount it
the soldiers pay.
We think the Legion is right.
If the man may be seized for
the national defense, why not
the factory, or ship or railroad? i
The time to mane this the law of
the land is now.
We understand that President
Coolidge has declared himself as
in favor of the principle involved
In this proposed new departure.

DEBT AND TAXES
The majority in Congress has
adopted a scheme for the reduct
ion of taxes to the amount of
$330,000.000 00 and the Democ
ratic minority has come forward
with proposals to still further re
duce the tax bill of the nations
by nearly $200, Ci ,0,000. 00. This
last looks to us like a mere ges
ture to catch votes. Indeed we
think the whole tax reduction
program has little else behind it.
Tax-payers in the long run will
pay more , not les"s by virtue of
present tax reductions.
Tax reduction now means post
ponement of the final payment
of th? national debt. Poapone
mentof final payment means ad
del interest which means more
taxes.

The Calm, Clear Mind
The more wheels there are In t
wnteh, the more trouble they are to
take cure of. The movement of ex
altnthm which bciong to getilu are
egotistic by their very nature. A
calm, clear mind, not subject to the
spasms and rrlse which are o often
nu.i wlili In creative or lnten-ely per
ceptive natures. Is the best I'iihIs for
love or friendship. Observe. I am
tnlklni about minds. I won't any the
more Intellect, the less capacity for
iiivlim- for that would do wrong tn
tho undemanding .and reason; but,
on the other hand that the brain orten
runs awav with the heart's best blood.
which give the world a few page of
wisdom or sentiment or poetry, in
stead of making one other heart hap
