If Senator LaFollette is right and| tbv price of gasoline goes to a dollar per gallon there will be a great come back of the one boss shay anil the horse business. It's most 1 ikely that LaFollette is as wild on this as on most things he has predicted during Ids public career. The fifty-fifty bill designed to give, die women voters an equal representation with men on committees was; finally smothered to death when Speaker Morgan locked it in his safe and refused to give up the combination. The bill passed the senate anil was favored by the various women.or-I ganizations. Mr. Lyons, republican state chairman was the leader of tile opposition when the showdown came.'

The present facilities of the plant are being taxed lo the lira it and the new boilers will make it possible to produce more power at less cost. It's a splendid more and a progressive one, ew——— i A North Dakota farmer, According to The Outlook, recently sold a tar of potatoes on the eastern market for $330. Sounds good. Bui after he had paid the freight, commission and other cost, that farmer received $1.36. Do you wonder that there are farm blocs in the legislatures and in congress? Do you wonder that the farmer feels he is getting tile worst of tilings? How long do you think it will take lo get back to I normalcy at that rate? The producers are willing to meet the rest of the world half way hut why should they work as hard as they do and j get less than enough to buy it meal in a first class hotel lor a carload of potatoes? There is something r about the tale to cause everyone to think and act: Well. Indiana will now have a live | million dollar reformatory at I’entlfe|ton. A million lias been spent, the legislature provide* two million more and the next legislature will have a chance to please those who have a cost plus contract. Those 'criminally inclined will have luxurious quarters when It's all complete but don't get too anxious to got there j for so long as those who are in on tile snap can secure additional millions yon can bet your last little cent that the plans will be added to and it may lie a decade before the quarters are finished with marble ; bath, tile floors, fancy lighting, modern gyms and ail the other attractions. No wonder the legislature appropriated fifty-seven million dollars. You get to pay. “The Lambert bill, which provided an increase from one thousand I dollars to two thousand on mortgage i indebtedness, lias been vetoed by [Governor McCray. The bill originated in the house and passed that body j by a vote of eighty-seven to one. The I bill was aimed as a relief to the farnt|er, and would have given him a iit- | tie help in his mortgage and would have done away with double taxation. The measure was argued at .length in the senate, and it was the I opinion generally that all classes of mortgages should be non-taxable, as the party holding the mortgage pays ; taxes on it, and to compel the party giving the mortgage to do the same | amounts to double taxation. In other : words, the mortgagor pays on some- ■ i tiling lie does not own. so long as I some other man holds a mortgage

With a long drawn sigh, she said. "My husband is a mere manufacturer of waste-baskets, and it seems to me such a prosy occupation." “1 can’t agree with you in that respect," replied the unappreciated hard, "On tile contrary, there is really much poetry in waste-baskets." BEAUTY SECRETS They say olio of the most recent beauty secrets is to cat onions, but liow can one keep that a secret? ADVICE TO WOMAN Just because you look like a lemon don't think you're going to be squeezed. YES, IF YOU DON’T WEAKEN This life we live is a gay old life, especially if you have a wife Who bobs her hair and wears short skirts, And with the men she sometimes flirts.

BO It's all bunk to talk about the eternal fitness of tilings to a man with a boil oil the back of his neck. U's safer to fix up a good story and stick to it. than to admit the truth to a jealous wife. It's better to have loved and lost, than to have loved anil married —ill these days of alimony. COMPETITION IS THE LIFE OF TRADE An educated monkey is now in the movies. Must he tough on some of the others. Jack No not so bad. Not so so much is j expected of others. PUNK PHILOSOPHY The man who makes a detour on the road of opportunity never reaches success. Repentance always comes too late to do any good. It is marvelous that some liu«F ness men succeed without the assistance of a government expert. THE ROADS The spring is the season when roads are a fright and horses plod wheezin' from morning till night. Tin- autos stand thick by the highways and lanes they're certain to stick when old Jupo starts the rain<. Full many a dollar we spend on the roads, bat still folks must wallet* with haTf-measure loads.
