HOLMES Justice Oliver Wendeil Holmes of the United States Supreme Court ce! hrated his ninetieth birthday on .March S. A few days before he had delivered one of the most liberal and progressive opinions ever handed down by a judge on the bench. He is still young in mind and heart, though old In years. To realize how the world hns moved since Justice Holmes was born in 1841, we need only recall that railroads were still more of a novel ty than the airplane is today, thnt Texas was an independent republic, that Chicago was a Tillage of 4, 500 people, the electric telegraph was only six years old and friction mat ches had been invented only five years before, while the sewing ma chine had not been henrd of!

Why the barber shops aro desig nated by the gaudily painted pole does not so much matter as the fact that such is the case and that where ever the sign of the gaily painted polo is seen that the barber shop is in evidence.

This is the Lirgert j engineering project the United I States or any other government ha? ever undertaken. The dam will be ,730 feet high. 1.100 feet long, and will impound a lake 100 miles long. A cannl 20 feet deep and 200 mile jlong will carry water from this lake ' - fT miles across the desert of South ern California, irrigating arid lands (on which nobody can live now but which will provide homes and sub sistence for five million people. The I surplus water, not needed for irri gation , will be used for power de velopment, under lease to a private power company. This is noe case In which the Government Is justified in investing huge capital, since the problem of controlling the floods of the Colo rado River ami Irrigating the deser' j is too large for any single state to undertake and too unprofitable for prrats enterprise. Washington. March 19. With the prospect that the Federal Farm Board will have approximately 200.000,000 bushels of wheat in storage when the new crop conies on the market July 1, widely different views were ex pressed simultaneously in the capi tal as to how the board can meet the situation. William E. Borah (R.). Senator from Idaho, advocate of the export debenture, who discussed the Wheal situation among other topics at a solitary luncheon conference with President Hoover yesterday, stated afterward thar he saw no way bv which the Farm Board "could post pone the crisis" much longer in view of limited storage facilities. On the ether hand. Samuel R. Mc Kelvie. member of the Farm Board in charge of wheat, said that ade quate storage facilities existed, and that he hud no doubt the botrd could hold its stock of wheat in storage It means were noi found to dispose of, it. forecast that Europe able to see any differ the dumping of wheat the similar disposal of United States, if that j expedient were resorted to. The Farm Board is already ex ; porting some ot its wheat and has been engaged in operations of this character for over a month, it was said at board headquarters. This In ; volvos about n.r. 000. 000 bushels of i wheat that Is "cut of position." namely at seaboard, with about 20. : 000.000 bushels at Atlantic and Cult ports and the rest on the Pacific ; Northwest po ts. A quantity of this ; wheat has already been marketed ' abroad. I At a press conference last Febru ary, Mr. Begge declared that the i board would not make a final decision ; as to disposition cf the wheat "ti'i i after May." farmers may still use- large quantities of their wheat for ' livestock feed, he said. An estimate of the nation s pres : ent elevator btorage capacity made by private scources. hut available St ! the Bureau of Agricultural Econom ics, puts the fgure at 452.000,000 ! bushels. Total stocks of wheat in the United States, March 1 probably were in the iclnity of HO. 000, 000 bushels in excess of the same date la year ago, the Department of Agri culture states James C. Stone, chairman of the Federal Farm Board, stated today that the board has "no serious fears" In regard to finding a place to store the wheat surplus of next summer's crop. The board hopes to relieve mar ket congestion to some extent by the disposition of the 35.000.000 bushels now being sold in the export market. Mr. Stone said that this allotment is being sold in small amounts from day to day. but that no large amounts ihave yet been disposed of. The dis position program has yet three months to run.

W. Sprick. chair man, late Tuesday put to death H. R. 332. income tax bill. Upon being 'informed of this action, Marion Cush I ing of Valley, introducer-in-chief, an nounced that on Wednesday morning lie will ask the nouse not ta concur in the killing recommendation and that it place the bill, with amend ments offered by him. on general file. Some who are friendly to the income 1 'ax principle may hesitate at this late date to try to put such legisla tion across. Minority floor leader, O'Malley said that while he favors an income tax, he is cf the opinion that because of the magnitude of the subject the legislature should wait two years and during the in terim make careful study. j The revenue committee also stab !bed to death H. R. 465, by Clark of Pawnee and others, malt tax bill. jThis measure provided for a lax of j ten cents per can on containers re tailing at $1 or less, whether the imalt be intended for brewing or cook ling, the proceeds to be credited to the ; state school fund. It was opposed in ; committee by prohibition leaders on jthe theory that it is not advisable. : f rom their viewpoint, to sanction a tax on anything used for any pur j pose not contemplated by the eight ieenth amendment. Twelve Amendments. Mr. Cashing will ask the house not only to lift the income tax but also to include in the lifting twelve amendments submitted by him to the committee. Chairman Sprick recent ly suggested to Cushing that he re draft the bill with the amendments j incorporated. The introducer consid- ered this unnecessary. i The bill proper includes thirty-five pages with more than two pages of amendments. It is entitled "an act i relating to revenue; to provide for ! property tax relief by the levying, collecting and paying of taxes on i incomes of individual taxpayers and by the levying, collecting and paying I of taxes or excises with respect to the carrying on or doing business by ' corporations. Joint stock associations ior limited partnerships, based upon net income; and to provide penalties Ifcr the violation thereof." Co-introducers with Mr. Cushing 'are Representatives Hnvekost of Dodge. Steele and Kimball, Hunt of Otoe and Anderson of Nuckolls. While ' co-introduce" s other than Mr. Have- kost had left the chamber when the ! ! committee returned from its work shop, the member from Dodge said that he will support Mr. Cushing's I effort. The bill provides for the follow .ing tax scale with respect to entire taxable incomes: On the first $2,000 or any part ; thereof, one per cent. On the third : $1,000 or any part, two per cent. On jthe fourth $1,000 or any part, three per cent. On the fifth $1,000 or any ; part, four per cent. On incomes in I excess cf $5,000, five per cent. Such tax to be first levied, col lected and paid In 1932. It will apply also to estates and trusts. Every corporation shall pay an nually a tax equivalent to four per cent of the entire net income over land above $1,000 received by such corporation from business tiansact ed within the state during the in I come vear with a minimum tax of $5.

Woman's Auxiliary Meets. The Woman's Auxiliary of the Episcopal church, met on last Friday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Reuhman. where they were sure busy with their nimble thimbles and need les in doing sewing for the Clark son hospital, and also in other work which this very active society had on hand. Surprised on Birthday. On Tuesday evening. March 24, marked the 77th birthday anniver sary of Uncle George Hathaway, also that of his daughter. Mrs. J. A. Eaton, and as a fitting ceiebration of the occasion, the family organ ized a very pleasant surprise for this estimable couple, father and daugh ter. They had planned the pleasant gathering so that the two honored guests were not aware of the matter until the guests had arrived. The father was just twenty-four years older than the daughter, he being Shelbyville. Ind. A specially built automobile containing almost nine hundred pints of bonded whisky valued by officers at $4,500 was seized at the home of Herbert Ray. Two men, who left the automobile at the Ray home, were reported to have been staying a short distance away, and to have left hurriedly during the raid. The liquor was carried in two wide compartments built under the full length of the automobile. The rear of the machine was also filled with liquor.

So much pro jgress has been made in teaching the i elementary subjects to everybody that many teachers assume that edu cation is an exact science, that the perfect formula has been discovered. Robert M. Hutchins, the yonn new president of Chicago Univer sity; thinks otherwise. Beginning (next Fall class attendance and the following out of rigid programs by :the students will be abolished. Each student will be free to follow such 'lines of study as he feels himself best fitted for, and can present him self for examination at any time he thinks he can make the grade. H-.-may receive his certificate that he has a good general education after only one year in college, or he may take ten years. That Is returning, in some re spects, to the original idea of a uni versity, where eager young men met with those who knew more than they did at Paris and Oxford and Sala manca, and absorbed learning ac cording to their respective abilities. It is an interesting development and one which should have a great influ ence upon college life everywhere.
