* A study of the “war revenue
lax** di— 1om*s some of the most
astonishing blunders to Ire found
in Lite entire legislative record of
tin- present administration. The
mo%t elemetary principles of law
making seem to have lieen disre
garded.
In the jiassage of any siiecial
tax measure where the approxi
mate deficit to be met is known,
then* are four simple m pi ire intuits
that are obvious:
I. It should l«* determined
w lie re the burden of the tax should
fall.
J. Based on accurate estimates,
tiie law should produce the amount
of revenue needed.
3. The law should In* phrased
in clear unmistakable terms, ad
mitting of Init one construction
that will insure a minimum cost of
administration, prevent confusion,
and avoid useless, expensive liti
gation.
J. Timely. adequate provision
should be made for revenue stamps,
blank returns, instructions, and
all other numerous details enter
ii g into tiie enforcement of such a
law.
T1»i% administration failed on
evert one of these counts.
1. I ier tiie first ess»»ntial.that
of leternining where the burden
• »f the tax shall fall, the democrats
fl .i. lend repeatedly. They first
announced tlie plat# of increasing
tne income tax. and abandoned it
on ii' -overmg that tinancial re
t m.s w • :id be delated for month'
utaier that method. Then thev
t ne*i to a plan of taxing freight
receipt* This was discarded with
a»t--t»i':.::.g celerity. Politi al
pres-ire »»• to«* great. After
iAtm-r ineffectual attempts the
'V*!-‘di war stamp tax was adopted
a» a liases, giving tie* country a
“war tax" io time of jieace.
'1. T:.e second esv*ntial was dis
regarded. 1 ueir estimates were
inaccurate. llaii they lieeri based
oil fads instead of guess work, we
would not now have the treasury
deb t a« a odistant reminder of
democrat k extravagance and in
eflicieticv.
3. 11 *c third essentia! was dis
regarded. Tliere an* conflicting
provisions in tlie "war tax" as to
w itrn it snail take elect. Other
clauses are so obscurely phrased
that it has lieen necessary to ap
peal to the courts for construction.
4. Tie- ft iurth essential was dis
regarded. ni inadequate were the
provisions for stamps required
under the act tiiat business all over
the country halted liecause of in
abdity pi comply with the law.
lying and ai noying controversies
arose over penalties for such viola
tions. resulting m needless confu
sion for which no one but the pres
ent administration is Pi blame.
Spe* Ilk- examples of the errors

will Is- discussed iu later articles.

JAistmaster fieneral Bjrleson
says tltat tlie |x»tal deficit would
liave been much greater but for t he
parcel post. And it was a re
publican Senate that forced the
p.»st provision into the jiost office
appropriation full after the demo
**rslK* house had refused to take
sig-h action. A repuhlican presi
dent signed tlie law. It isn’t the

legislation avoided part of the demo

Sherman county has one coun
try school district employing two
teachers and having a ninth grade
curriculum. District No. 1 north
of Litchfield, voted to employ
two teachers and build another
r«Nim to their school house, at their
meeting Monday night. Nine
grades will be taught. The coun
try schools in this county are pro
gressing nicely and soon the
children in the country will enjoy
all the advantages of those in the
towns.
Why is ir some people always
have a hammer out for this town?
If other i*eople hammered them as
they kn*N-k the town their wails
could In* heaod clear to heaven.
It is always advisable to get rid of
a grouch, but it is still more ad
visable to lose it in the woods in
stead of sewing it broadcast in the
heart of a tine community of ener
getic and res|NVtable |M*ople.
W e have a healthy respect and
a high regard for the man or
woman who has something good
to say of others. We are all too
prone to magnify the defects and
forget the good qualities of our
friends and neighbors, apparently
forgetful of the fact that there is
good in all |N*opIe, and that a little
assistance and encouragement will
ofttimes bring to the surface sterl
ing qualities that have lain dor
mant for many years. Speak the
good word.
It is very gratifying to the
momljers of your city board to ob
serve the loyal re.sjKtnse to our
new tree ordinance. Such co-op
eration on the part of the |>eople
is a source of inspiration to tlie
board and the trimming of the
many trees has already enhanced
the convenience and lieauty of the
walks about town. Loup City is
one of the best treed municipal
ities in the state and there is no i
reason why we can not expect to!
take a high place as regards well:
kept home grounds. While there
are some tret's still in need of
trimming, each day sees these low
hanging branches l>eing reduced
in number and we hope to have
the last of them removed soon, j
If those who still hesitate will note!
the effect of a little work along
this line we feel sure they will do
it now.

Be Sure of
Your Plans
When you get plans
for the new house be
sure that you under
stand them thorough
ly. Some builders go
by rule of thumb and
think that they can
explain to the owner
what he wants better
than if they took the
trouble to make a blue
print of the building.
It is Sure to
CauseTrouble
If you think you are
getting one thing and
the builder has a diff
erent idea, and the re
sult is that the work
is to be done over or
else you are very dis
appointed in some
part of your house.
Let me explain my
system of making
plans and you will be
convinced that it is
the only way.

A National Creed.
The Chicago llerakl suggests the
following ns a National Creed by;
which the men, women and chil
dren of American may affirm their
Americanism.
I believe in the United States,
one and indivisible: in her mission
as the champion of humanity, as
the friend of weak and distressed:!
in the singleness, dignity and in
violability of American citizen
ship: in the validity of our national
traditions; in peace with honor: in
friendship with all nations that re
spect our rights; in entangling al
liances with none: in reastyiable !
preparations for national defense1
by sea and land; in shirking no'
sacrifice needed to hand down to j
the future the priceless treasures!
bequeathed to us by the past; in 1
the necessity of keeping the west
ern hemisphere free from the in
trusions of European institutions
and ambitions; in the capacity of
free men for self-government; in!
the love of home and country; and
in the unflinching resolution that
government of the people, for the
l»eople by the people shall not
perish from the earth.

Economy, simplicity and efficiency makes the
Ford a universal utility. A utility because it
serves everybody-doctor,farmer,salesman and
banker. In every business, or as a pleasure car,
the Ford proves reliable and economical. Low
first cost-$60 less than last year, and the plan
of sharing profits with buyers-and low upkeep
expense, are reasons why it pays to own a
Ford. They serve and save.

Touring Car $490;Runabout $440. All fully equipped

Hail Loses Last Year Were Greater
Than Arty Previous Year
in the history of the state. Many farmers protected
their crops by insurance and received fair and
honest settlement from all responsible companies.
We represent several of the best companies writ
ing this class of insurance,
We solicit your hail insnrance this year and
urge you not to write it elsewhere until you have
talked with us. You may be aware of the un
satisfactory experience some farmers have had in
writing their insurance with strangers. You may
already understand the advantage of dealing with
home men, who will be here to see that you get a
square deal in case of loss, rather than with a
stranger who will never return. Your neighbors
who insured their crops with us last year will tell
you their settlements were satisfactory in every
way. Ask them. V
Do not take out hail insurance until you see us.
