RED GULCH, D. C
WITH what deadly seriousness the senate oil com
mittee hearings are regarded by some of the prin
cipals, and by others who as yet have not been drawn
into the ever wedening vortex but who may be called
on at any moment, is graphically told by a writer in
American Legion Weekly. He says: . . .
"Government men sit among the congested throng
of listeners with concealed revolvers ready to protect
the senatorial inquisitors as well as the witnesses who
sit on the other side of the long mahogany table. And
this in Washington in the year 1924; not Bed Gulch in
the early eighties." ; "; ' ' V' '
vPerhaps the public would not be so very surprised
at c little, shooting in the senate, chamber, -after all
that-: has gone before. It would-be a fitting climax.
And then some enterprising reporter should dig out the
real story behind the investigation the threats, the
bribe offers, the politics and broadcast it to the
worjd. A little more of this sort of .thing and govern
ment officials will think twice, perhaps three times, be
fore ; betraying thektrust. - . t,v
HARD TO
FRANK , A. . VANDERLIP, financier of international
rekn6wn, was' guilty of an inexcusable' crime in
giving circulation to rumors involving the integrity of
President Harding. The crime , is more grave in view
of attending circumstances. Speakers carried away by
a form' of self -intoxication have, been known to over
step the mark and give utterance" to statements which
they would have left .unsaid-had; they more carefully
chosen their words. . - (
But Vanderlip was not guilty of such a slip.
It was brought but"clearly enough" by the" senate
oil committee that he had "previously planned his
speech, that he had even tipped off a New York paper
that his speech would be of more than ordinary inter
est. Yet, when faced, by direct -questions, Vanderlip
declared - he; was- only repeating rumors, that insofar
as he knew the rumors had no foundation in fact; and
that Harding had been his friend, and in giving circu
lation to the, rumors he sought only to clear the dead
president's name.
That Vanderlip would resort to such a method for
such a high-minded purpose is hard to swallow. Pub
lishing' rumors does not quiet them. And had he in
tended to uproot more graft in connection with the oil
scandal, bis resources were ample to uncover any facts
which may have existed and to lay them before the
committee in the usual manner.
. . It is an interesting circumstance that those coun
ties in the state which lead in dairy production showed
a more rapid growth and greater percentage in in
crease of population between - the . government cen
sus of 1910 and that pf 1920 than any of the other
counties. It is also notable that during the recent de
pression in other farm products the dairy farmers-continued
to make money. Unlike many other farming
industries, the dairy industry is not seasonal; it is a
steady producer and for that reason alone is an extreme
ly valuable asset to any rural community. Bulletin
of the' Wells Fargo Nevada National Bank; ' ''
Efforts have been made to prosecute a wholesaler
in Minneapolis who bought a lot of old potatoes in
Chicago and sold them as "Florida hew potatoes" at
a profit of 6000 per cent. The 'efforts failed because1,
the city law department explained, no statute or or
dinance had been violated. Evidently the legal atti
tude is still the old attitude of trade. "Let, the-buyer
beware!" Woodland .Mail. ' . -

PORTLAN0, Ore., Feb. 18. Tax
payers are urged by Clyde O. Hunt

federal Income tax returns. Only one
month remains of the filing period
and Heturns must , reach Collector
Huntley's office not Inter than mid
njght Saturday, Mhrch IS, in orihir
for the Individual to escape Severn
penalties for his delinquency.
"'Ever since It was announced
from Washington that a plun was un
dor consideration to reduce by 2."
per cent the tax on earned Incomos
for the year 1923, these has boon a
noticeable falling oft In the number
of returns.'' explained Collector
Huntley today. "There s Utile doubt
but that this reduction In tho fed
eral Income tax will be voted by the
congress but It is a reasonable cer
tainty thnt It will be subsequent to
the expiration of the filing period
before tho luw can bo so amended.
'In tho .meautini!, taxpuyors
should Dtuko their returns of Income.
Thoso'who pay their tax In full ut
the time of filing will be promptly
and automatically refunded Unit por
tion Of the tax paid' es tho congress
uhall linve agreed to. In cases where
ho' tuxpayurs pays only H part Of his

mainder of tho tax will be niljusioil
on tho basis of tho reduction thnt l
ordered. But the fact ronnUns that
federal income tax ' returns for the
your 1923 must be filed' nol later
tlmn March 13 only four" wefcks
