"Jury Found Man Guilty of Fir-U

Covtrnment agents are said to be
on the trail of 131,386 income tax

There was never the least doubt

According to the ancients, ti.f:

THE COST OF LIVING
A year and six months after the
signing of the armistice America finds
itself facing an accelerated upward
movement in prices. It has been a per
iod of almost constant rise. Every
month for a year has been takeu f jr
the peak month. Yet just now a
fresh upward movement begins which
takes on the appearance of a stam
pede. Flour, coal, building mater
ials, clothing, sugar nearly every
thing takes a fresh upward leap
Nothing of importance comes down.
The whole country has been em
ployed during this year and a ?ai.
An idle man is idle wilfully. Pro
duction is a little higher than be
fore the war. Exportation, as a re
sult of the exchange situation, is
limited. There is no acute shortage
of goods. The watering of the na
tion's money stocks can account for
a great increase in prices over pre
war times. But the continued rise,
especially the present increases, are
not explained by known natural caus
es. Last August a sudden popular re
sentment over persistent price in
creases put the politicians in a panii:.
The president addressed congress on
the subject. - Congress made onic
circles. The attorney general buzzed
about noisly. Governors and fair
price commissions took notice. The
coal strike came on to call attention
to other things and the anti-high
price mood passed. Prices cairn 1?
held their own and better.
Look close and you see now the
beginning of what promises to be a
more belligerent mood of the people
than was shown even last year.
There is one peculiarly ominous man
ifestation. Your proud American
loves to buy things without asking
the price. He would feel humilfhted
to be caught objecting to any price
however high, as he makes hi. pur
chases. Americans take pride in
playing the pacifist, when their pock
etbooks are attacked. This supi.:e
America just now shows signs of
balkiness. However crude the meth
od, the overall clubs, and the "cheap
cut" weeks show a new spirit. The
most docile people on the fac2 of the
earth shows signs of revolt.
This is likely to mean that no mat -ter
how beautifully the conventions,
write their platforms, the one poli-

(will be the h.c. 1. That is pretty
'sure to be the case if the present
price movement continues into the
summer and fall.
What will the politicians do then?
These prices have arisen underv a
democratic administration. Th ls-
! sue will be embarrassing for that
party. But as yet the only plan o
the republican congress which af
fects the cost of living is a plan to
raise the soldier bonus by a tax on
retail sales, the direct effect of which
will be further to increase the ist

THE .WOMAN AT THE BANK
Fi:rseholderi is one of the er?
many descripti'ves of man as diotln-riir-iiQd
from voman. But there nr.
si.:!? that he s los.rg this distil -tion.
Som think they are, so far,
v.";n.i observv? -('iat he is goinv;
in '--jse it altog;Jitr.
One of the economic phenomena of
the present time is the large and
rapid increase of the number of wo
men depositors in the banks, as
shown by banking reports. A wo
man in charge of the woman's de
partment of a Chicago bank says that
women are proportionately saving
more than men and that twice as
many women are now saving money
as before the war. Then she gives
an instance showing that the ratio
is much greater than this. Five
years ago the number or women de
positors at her bank was 215 and
the amount of their credit was $300,
000. Today there are 1,700, with a
total deposit of $1,000,000. This
would seem to show at least that
women are not more guilty than 111211
of the reckless expenditures every
where which Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Lefingwell h;i just
been telling the Academy of Political
Science is one of the causes of high
prices, and there are women in the
banking business who are certain
the bank ledgers demonstrate conclu
sively that women are much more
economical and thrifty than the men.
The bank books at Springfield, 111.,
show that three out of every fo-n-
new depositors are women. In th3
last three months 56 per cent of the
new savings accounts opened in Den
ver are in the names of women. One
St. Louis bank says its number nf
women depositors has increased 33'i
per cent, another 7 per cent, another
20 per cent, and another 23 per cent.
Where are the women getting the
money? A Denver banker says "it
simply means the husbands are giv
ing their wives their wages." A
Springfield banker says the high cost
.of living has resulted in the wo
men assuming charge of the weekly
pay check, - and this gets support
from a Milwaukee banker who says
that half his depositors are women,
and that half of the women deposit
their husband's savings.
It appears plain enough, too, that
woman has become not only a con
spicuous saver, but also a financier,
for they are patronizing the trust
companies. One-third of the depos
itors of a Des Moines trust company
are women, and women are begin
ning to study investments. They are
uniformly not in for any get-rich-quick
schemes, but prefer small and
certain profits to big dividends on
speculative stocks. They put their
money into 5 and 6 per cent gilt edge
bonds. x
The whole subject needs an analy
sis which could not fail to be most
interesting. Another woman mana
ger of the woman's department of a
Chicago bank, while appreciating the
increased amounts that husbands are
giving to their wives to be "salted
down", is convinced that banking by
women is much more significant than
that would indicate and forecasts ev
en a shifting of financial affairs from
masculine to feminine hands. She
attributes a large part of the saving
by women to the increased activity
of women, on their own account, in
business and their signal success in
their enterprises. She interprets it
as a feature in woman's evolution
and a further evidence of the shat
tering of the old "clinging vine and
oak" theory.
Woman's business capacity is no
secret to thousands of husbands, and
almost any old husband will admit
that his wife is- thriftier than him
self. So we needn't fear any harm
if finally the main bank will be for
women and men's business will be
done in a "men's department."

THEY DANCED WE PAY
Says the Wall Street Journal:
"The men, well paid as they were,
well fed and well treated in a way to
compare favorably with any other
soldiers engaged, want money now,
without caring whether the business
of the country goes to ruin."
Says the Des Moines Tribune:
"If the boys will read those few
sentences with intelligent under
standing they will know all they
will ever need to know about who
pays.
"When it was conscripting the
youth of the nation for bloody sac
rifice the Wall Street Journals were
so patriotic they nearly burst. But
when it comes to taking enough mon
ey out of the war fortunes of the
stay-at-homes to give these same
boys a fair start in life again then
the "Wall Street Journals are almost
beside themselves.
"If the American people ever con
sent to let the swollen fortunes of
the war get out of doing the fair
thing by the boys who were con
scripted and compelled to risk their
lives to make these war fortunes pos
sible, then the American people will
have convicted themselves of every
thing that can be charged against n
militaristic people. For the whole
theory of militarism is that the boys
j of every generation are natural can
non fodder that those in power may
get more power.
"The mere fact that money is pow
er in America, while social position
is power in Europe, does not change
the nature of the equation."

DISPOSES DF LIGHT PLANT
From Tuesday's Dally.
Jess Warga. the agent of the
Phelps Lighting plants for the farm
and home has just disposed of a new
and complete outfit to Will Meisin
ger, who is having it installed in his
home. A large number of the farm
ers of this portion of the county have
taken advantage of the opportunity
of having their own light plant in
stalled and being assured of all the
modern conveniences at their home.
AND STILL THEY COME
From Tuesday's Daily.
The supply of coyotes in Cass coun
ty appears to be very great this year
and there is hardly a day that the
county clerk's office, does not receive
t consignment of scalps for which a
bounty of $: each is paid by the
state. C. Dewey Spangler brought in
five today ami W. S. Shera eight as
the result of their marksmanship
and skill and were given the reward
as offered bv the state.
