A lot of folks are still wondering
about the wherecome for their income

This is a Rood month to beKin

bring forth.
It is hard to believe the bottom has
fallen out of business while prices

According to Hank Ford the harps

There are a lot of men who voted
for what was right, but they are try

The more direct the tax. the more
the payer directs his attention to
the matter of governmental expen
ditures. ::o:
It is well that we have not con
gress on our hands while we're busy
whipping the baseball teams into
shape.

It is hard for a lot of folks to un
derstand that personal liberty is the
privilege of doing what a majority
of the people permit.

It must be held in mind that Sec
retary fo Interior Fll will fiave
much to do with every water fall

Cleveland, O.. judge says "any man
can be elected judge." confirming
the suspicion of many who have been
giving particular attention to judi
cial decisions lately.
Among the suicides in this country
last year were 36 millionaires and
23 million-heiresses. Evidently hav

of all the troubles of life.

"We are suffering from to; much

There can be no forward mo Yemen;

than not to work at all.

Secretary of War Weeks and Sec
retary of Navy Denby are both en

brave in handing an .ultimatum to
two big, powerful, blustering nations
like Costa Rica and Panama.

Mr. Henderson of Nevada, not on

kicked out of office is bad enough, but
to be shot in addition is the last
straw.

An observant subscriber wants to
know why it is that a short-skirted
girl, crossing a muddy street, gathers
up her skirts, although they are al

of the fact, why worry about the
reason?
: o :
Germany's action in disbanding
the einwohnerwehr will give great
satisfaction to those Americans who
never have been able to remember
what it is but have felt in duty
bound to back up the allied demand
that it be disbanded.

YVlien manufactured products get

The packers assures as that even
if their employees do g.j on a strike,
it would not effect the nublic's sup
ply of meat. Probably they are
right about it. Meat that can stay
so high for more than a year after
the bottom dropped out of the live
stock market should have nothing to
fear from a mere strike in the pack
ing house.
:o:
The Harding cabinet, as it stands
is about the kind of cabinet that
the Americaan people voted for in
November. If they did not know
they were voting for it. that is the
result of their own folly. They did
not need to be deceived, and if they
were deceived they deceived them
selves. -:or-
Secretary Hughes probably told
the bantam-weights. Costa Rica and
Panama, that he'd bump their heads
together and put them to bed with
out any supper if they didn't stop
their face-making and stone-throwing.
It must be a tremendously sat
isfying thing to know that no mat

Representative of the Pacific Coast
cities, in a hearing before the ship
ping board, requested the assignment
of a larger number of combination
passenger and cargo vessels for the
Oriental trade to meet keen competi
tion from Japan and Canadian in
terests. The injurious effect of pro
hibition of American shipping was
featured in the testimony.
:o:
Senator John Sharp Williams
thinks it is the ambition of Harding
to be a president after the McKinley
type. It is an ambition that will
never be realized. McKinley was
not a man of great dreams, but he
poss-essed much tact and diplomacy,
and Harding is lacking these ele
ments. Again McKinley had his
party solidly behind hiui and Hard
ing lias not.
VETERANS OF WORLD
WAR OUT OF WORK
,
Number
American Legion Estimates
at 400,000 Says Situation
is Now Improving.
New York, March 17. There
were 400,000 veterans of the world
war out of work in the United
States on March 1, last, according to
an estimate- received by the Ameri
can Legion. This is a reduction of
abouf 100.000 from the "peak" of
more than 500,000 jobless ex-service
men in .the country shortb after the
1st of January and the Legion state
reports show there is promise of
further improvement.
The survey of the national situa
tion on which these figures are based
was made by the American Legion
Weekly, official publication of the
Legion, which states that the un
employment situation as affecting the
veterans "appears to have taken a
turn for the better."
A chain of employment agendo;
operated by the Legion in every
state has done much to relieve the
situation, ' say the Legion officials.
The Legion has been instrumental
in obtaining employment for some of
the jobless in the great industrial .
centers but has encouraged a move-!
ment from cities to the farms. It
has demanded that porkers who left I
their positions to go to war should'
enjoy seniority rights on a par with
those of military age who stayed at
home. j
Ex-Service Men Handicarmed 1
Ex-service men have suffered more
in proportion to ineir numoers man
other workers, according to the
Legion's survey, because of the op
eration of seniority rules and effici
ency standards. Nearly a year is
required for t lie returned veteran to
2-et back to his old stride in indus
try, according to the testimony 01
large employers of labor. Another
thing that has handicapped the ox
ioldier is his restlessness and no
madic tendencies, both products of
the strain and circumstances of war
service.

Legion's survey. The automobile !

dianapolis report a slight improve
ment of conditions. In Chicago con- i
litions are stationary it is said.
Movement Toward Farms
Throughout the agricultural mid
lie west a general movement from
the cities and towns to the farms is
reported. The average ex-soldier had
little taste for agriculture when he
carae back from the war. It was
hard to keep them down on the
farm after they had "seen Paree."
They chose to work in the small fac
tories or stores in the neighboring
count v seat where, during 19iy. jons
were nlentv an wages high. When
tlioxe jobs began to go there was at j
first an exodus toward the larger.
cities. The Legion strove to dis-j
courage tins. I nat movement nas
about spent itself an farmers thru
out the west now report little diffi-
ulty in getting help, and except in
the larger-cities there are few aole
bodies ex-service men reported out
of work in the middle west.
The south reported improvement.
Dixie has been burdened with a 1
larger quota of winter floaters than .
usual this year. according to re-1
ports. Some are now finding work
in the south. others are drifting
north, largely to settle on farms.

FRANCE MAY RECOG
NIZE MEXICO SOON
Such Action Probable Although It
Would Surprise U. S. Gov
erns Loan Agreement.
Washington. March 17. Recogni
tion of the Obregon government in
Mexico by France was reported as
imminent" in advices from Paris
received here today in official cir
cles.
Recognition bf Mexico by France
would cause some surprise at the
state department because of the in
formal understanding that has ex
isted for several years between the
principal European governments
and the United 'States that the rela
tions of those governments with
Mexico would be baaed largely upon
the attitude assumed by the Ameri
can government.
One immediate effect of recogni
tion by France might be, it was ex
plained, the serious disturbance of
the agreement entered into by the
chief banking houses of the world
not to loan money to Mexico unless
such action were concurred in by all
the banks party to the agreement.
The report that France has pre
pared a letter replying to that of
President Obregon and that it is
worded in such manner as to con
stitute recognition is regarded as an
indication that the French govern
ment has decided not to adhere
longer to the somewhat vague un
derstanding. I have a second hand Joliet cylin

PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOUHNAl
OIL CONCESSIONS GAVE
BRITAIN CANAL CHANCE
Washington, March 17 The Costa
Rican congress has repudiated large
oil and other concessions granted in
'June, 191S, to Amory & Sons.
through an agreement entered into
, between the Costa Rican minister ol
I foreign affairs and the British niin
j ister, according to advices received
1 today by the state department.
The concessions, consisting of
7,000 square miles of land, while os
tensibly granted,to an American com
pany, were largeyl controlled by Bri
tish interests, including the son of
the British premier, Lloyd George, ac
cording to information at the state
department.
: The posiiton of the United Stateo
, was that the agreement by granting
: water rights along the Nicaraguan
i boundary to British interests, would
give the concsesionaire a foothold for
the building of an inter-ocean canal.
1 The Costa Rican congress acted
to repudiate the concession on March
7, the vote being 24 to 10.
INCOME TAX RE
TURNS ARE LOW
Reports at Washington Indicate the
Total will be About a Billion
Less Than Last Year.
Washington, March IS. The
buyers' strike, the nationwide busi
ness depression and reduced earn
ings of workers and professional
men in 1920 will cost approximately
'$1,000,000,000 in reduced tax pay-
. ments this year, it was indicated
here today in early reports to the
treasury from the first installment
of the income and excess profits tax
pavment of March 1.
The reports indicate that the total
collections this year from income and'
excess profits tax will total about ;
?2. 500, 000. 000 when the last in-!
stallment is paid December 15. Iast
year the four installments yielded
approximately ?:5.500.000.000. j
Payments of the income and ex-'
I ccs profits tax this month probably.
'will not run higher than $700,000,-'
I 000. In March last year the total
was jsis.SM.i.uuo.
. . . . : n n
The yield from practically all
sources of revenue is tailing on.
In the face of thepe falling re
turns Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon must find means to pay rapidly
increasing obligations of the govern-
! ment. Billions of the floating debt
i.; maturing this year. In addition,
the spring of 1923 will bring to ma
turity approximately $7,500,000,000
orth of Victory notes and the war
savings securities.
Mellon is believed certain to
recommend abolition of the excess
profits tax.
