A few minutes Inter a few miles from EvMrctt, a train was hold up by

' From a news standpoint, there is nothing sensational about those
crimes. Crimes today are so frequent, and horrors so common, that
the chrouiellinK of crime has become a matter of rather tiresome rou
tine. Xot a day passes, but somo shocking deed of violence is re
ported. Uiuik robberies arc of daily, occurrence. The entire country

. Some pe)lo blame this condition on the war. The war may have
been a contributing factor, but it was scarcely the cause. One eastern
newspaper cliiims that the freedom with which firearms may be pur
chased Is largely responsible for the criruo wave. Another contribut
ing factor, Uit nothing more.
No, there' in probably no one distinguishable cause, but a multi
tude of minor forces which may all be brought under one general
head the sia.ll.len tmd mysterious disappearance of what have always
been considered well established moral standards. In the country
at large there necm to be no moral standards, no individual habits of
restraint. The country seems not so immoral as uu-moral, not so de
fiant of moral standards as without all moral standards.
Probably a boot could be written oh the causes, but by a process
o.f elimination there can be only one remedy.: That is in some way to
not the world back to a vital and living spirhual faith. It is an easy
thing to say. It is not so easy to sec any sign of real progress in that
direction. - :. -- - - - .. -

THE ORDEAL OVER.
1JUST have paid my iueonio tax for 19'J'J; I made no pessimis
tic cracks, 1 raised no loud boo-hoo. Hut, sorely as I need tho
dough, to buy me oil and gas, I made no vain parade of woe as I
coughed up the brass. I blithely drove my team of yaks to the
collector's door, and cried, "Here is my income tax, I would that
it were more!" At times I thought with furtive tear, that I was
squeezed too hurd i the government was too severe upon an old
fat bard; it was distressing to outhaml the product of my lyres,
to dig the kopecks I had planned to blow for rubber tires. Hut
when I glanced around the world, considered other lands, where
buttle fliius are seldom furled, and want forever stands, whero
nothing's stable or secure, and money is a joke, I Raid, "Though
taxes make ine poor, I shall not whine or eroak. We have -tho
grandest land on earth, our bulwarks are a treat, our eaglo gives
your money's worth, our banner can't be beat. And patriots in
time of pence hIiouUI not in 7.eal relax, but put tlio coin in a va
lise, and pay their income tax." So let the duleimer be played
aud let the timbrel screech; the chore is done, my tax is paid, my
conscience is n pcaeh. i

2. The maximum umount of n

3. 1 An additional provision is made
as to tho purposes ot the farm loan.
To liquidate! Indebtedness of th
owner of the land moHgagG, Incurred

prior to January 1, 1922."
Tho provision to appoint agents
uny nnd every plaeo at tho will of
thc-lorm Loan board to solicit and
muko unindorsed farm loans without
any personal liability to tho borrower
together with tho provision that the
rnrm Loan associations could Volun
tarily liquidate and tho borrowers be
relieved ot the double liability on
their slock which provisions would
ultimately scrap or do away with the
farm loan associations, were all de
feated.
All tho cooperative features of the
farm loan net arc preserved. The
only way to get a federal farm loan
on land Is through cither a national
farm loan association or a Joint stock
land bank. It. Was claimed In the
discussion In congress that the farm
loan associations would not and did
not glvo service to tho farmers in
many sections of tho country. It was
a very close vote in congress to save
tho Farm Loan associations. It Is
now up to tho Farm tonn associa
tions and tho federnl land bunks to
give Birvlcc to the farmers If the
farm loan associations wish to con
tinue as co-operutlvo organizations.
As it was claimed that many fiocre-tury-treasurors
wero engaged In the
making of land-moi-tgngo loans other
than federal farm Iouhb; section
of the farm loan act is amended by
adding thereto tho following: "No
such secretary-lrcasurer shall en
gage in the making of land-morlgnge
loans eligible at a federal land bank
through or for any other land-mortgage
company or agencj. and the
making of any Biich lean by any secretary-treasurer
shall forthwith work
