Though ihis may be a special Rind of fish, the report may provide a clue as to how a cer- tain big fellow we've been after managed to get through severai fishing seasons vehemently Governor James denies that the special session of the legislature will consider an alleged oposal by Senator Owlett to tax all incomes, the fact remains that the proposition had been considered by someone, Where ihere's smoke there's fire, and even from this distance we can detect the odor of something burning No matter how The standing of the various Republican candi- dates, Dewey. Taft, Vandenberg, etc. remains about the same, without either of the hopefuls being in a commanding position. It is improbable that the choice will not be apparent before the party meets in Philadelphia in June and it is doubtful if there will b¢ an overwhelming demand behind any par. ticular candidate, aithough this is subject to correc tion as the primaries reflect the opinion of voters in a number of States. Early this month, at his home in New York Ed- win Markham died in his 88th year. In 1868 a San Francisco newspaperman published a poem, “The Man With the Hoe,” bringing fame to the author and an estimated $250,000 in the following thirty- three years. Those who are not familiar with Mr Markham's famous poem owe it to themselves to be- come acquainted with what is a telling indictment of the unfortunate victims of the “world's blind greed.” The few partisan objectors to the Federal cen. sus who continue in their effort to embarrass the Administration by shouts of “constitutional wviola- tion.” should note what Republican Gov. Charles A Sprague, Oregon's chief executive, has to say. Branding the census controversy as “petty politics” Governor Sprague continues: “The project is too im- portant to be crippled by bow-and-arrow polities. There ought to be cordial co-operation on the part of all the people in the assembling of this informa- tion. I regard the recent agitation as petty and Hi- timed.” To allow bingo games to flourish or ban them as illegal gambling seems to be a matter for each county court to decide. Down in Lancaster they take it seriously. For instance a Lancaster county jury has just convicted one of its citizens of gambling with the popular bingo.gams. It was a test case ar- ranged by various groups which have sponsored the game after the district attorney advised them they would be prosecuted. —————————— i Route of Fact.

It should be understood that the neutrality zone is without standing in interna- tional law, but that it may become established if the American nations can enforce respect for it Over thé Repulican party throughout the cam- palgn is going to hover the disconcerting shadow of Hoover, the Hoover who dragged them down to des feat in 1932 and 1936. Hoover is to typify what the Old Guard wants—and we all know what it wants; a return to the day of special privilege for the priv- {leged few at the expense of poverty and want for the great army of the less fortunate. And the underpriv. heged citizens are going to Kno w all tl are going to vote about it and ey been able to distinguish, there are two kinds of taxes—good taxes and bad taxes Good taxes are those that leyy upon other people and bad taxes are those that make us pay. Likewise there is wise expenditure of public money and fool. ish expenditure. Wise expenditure promotes our idea of a public necessity (and"maybe affords an oppor. tunity for a little profit on the side), and foolish expenditures are those which, so far as We can judge, do not directly put cash, or benefits, in our pockets.

Mr. James takes our fair state into the ranks of “rebel” commonwealths which are sticking to the “traditional” last Thursday of November Mr. James says he acted in response to “many requests.” Mr Roosevelt, last year, in advancing the observance a week, said he had acted in response to “many requests —chiefly from retail stores, whose proprietors wanted to prolong the Christmas shop- ping season It all sounds pretty confusing to us. And we pre- dict the Governor's action will create even more confusion, come November, particularly for business houses. Maybe Mr. James is trying to outdo Mr. Hoo- ver—arrange for two turkeys in every oven, Seriously, the earlier Thanksgiving holiday— which traditionally marks the start of the Christ- mas shopping season--proved to be of great bene. fit. It extended the Christmas buying season, re- sulted in less congestion in the stores, relieved the strain upon sales people and otherwise encouraged more orderly and profitable shopping. Now the Gov. ernor—who claims to be helping business—upsets this condition for no reason at all, It's all a silly and deplorable decision, FARMERS WARNED THAT ROUNDTRIP MILEAGE~171 MILES ® “mama (Jone ris Wild oats, apparently from other grain, are being sold in - ¢ to County Agent R, C.
