count.
A luckless chap gets two years in

The Isle of Man, we read has no
public debt. But think of the wars
she’s missed.
Speaking of parental authority have
you noticed how Japan minds the
League of Nations?
Will the seven former footbnll stars
now in Congress go into a huddle and
start a little bloc of their own?
The Japanese ideu seems to be that
if the Chinese will get out of China
they will cease their butchery.
Write 1931 down as the year in
which a great many sinking funds
went down for the third and last time.
The dollar hoarders of 1932 might
profit by the remembrance of wha*
happened to the sugar hoarders of
1918.
Remember the good old days when
the appearance of green onions on
market was a sign that spring was
approaching?
Kidnaping is becoming a prominent
profession. That which pulls at the
heart-strings of parents also pulls at
the purse strings.
The least a community can do for
the men who give their time and take
the risk in case of fire is to give them
equipment to do with.
It is suid another movement has
set in from town to country. The
bright lights are attractive and all
that but they don't grow the pump

With millions invested in Manchur

as the nations which are barking at

A! Smith says he will run again if
nominated. Well he got sixteen mil
lion votes in 1928 and probably figures
it that 10,000,000 Democrats can’t be
wrong.
One of the troubles with modern
youth is said to be that they don’t pav
any attention to their parents, amr
maybe in some cases it’s just as well
that they den’t.
Federal 1 iq u o r indictments have
caught a few- big guns in Oamha,
among them being Tom Denison, a
familiar character in shady affairs
for forty years.
A good many politicians are now en
gaged in an intensive study of the
perplexing problem of how a man
may carry water on one shoulder and
beer on the other.
If the members of the present De
troit city government do their duty
they will know that they have been
tackling a job by the time they get
things set to rights.
We had 6ome respect for John Gar
ner when he was elected to the speak
ership, but it has all been wiped away
by his recent willingness to throw the
well known political mud.
The movement for lower taxes is in
no sense a partisan affair. The efforts
of party candidates to feature them
selves before groups of taxpayers
meeting to formulate ,sane methods of
lowering taxes if permitted will kill
any such movement.
“HAPPY’ IT WERE FOR US ALL IF WE BORE PROSPERITY AS WELL AND WISELY’ AS WE ENDURE ADVERSE FORTUNE.”
Now trouble has broken out in
Memel, and the League of Nations,
has been called on to settle it. Do you

to help settle the quarrel.
The democratic congress is prepar
ing a sales tax which includes every

plea that it is to be a manufacturers’
tax. No matter what it is called it
will be a consumers tax.
The complaint that the Hawley
Smoot tariff has driven American
factories into Canada may be true,
but if the interests outside of the
United States are so attractive to the
owners of these factories that they
must do the majority of their business
outside of the United States they are
not true American citizens. They hold
citizenship by law but if they are
dependent upon another country for
their living and can do better there
than here, it is time foi* them to leave.
Prospects for the Renter
America has been drifting: many
years into a nation of renters. Forty
years ago in places such as Holt
county there were no renters on the
land and 90 per cent of the town dwell
ers owned their homes. The first
plans of a couple starting out in life
in those days included ownership of a
home. Frequently this was a one
room unfinished affair, hut it wa
their’s and they were not contributing
to a landlord from month to month.
Many of the best farm and ranch pro
perties in Holt county today started
with a sod house.
In our own time we are not content
nor is one able to start life on a prim
ative basis. We have become “mod
ernized." Cars, radios, modern homes
are in the picture. The demands of
the day are for more conveniences and
less effort. Few if any of the very
numerous body known as the middle
class are able to start life on a basis
of ownership. They must become
renters. And not many starting as a
renter seem willing or able to acquire
ownership.
