DON CD. DOAtJE, Publlohcr ÜAGPGB .... INDIANA So fur as Kuro;c I concerned, America can stand a loan. Have you got the $.11.00 the government says you have? "The happy farmer" Is nhout ready to amend If to mlsliappy. Wor-w-i If a prison ever does anything rise lesldes yawn? This undoubtedly has hoen a great year for the throat specialists. The dollar hill Is perking up sweetly as sugar saps toward normalcy. As winter comes on, soviet soldier? are likely to envy the ex-kalser his woodpile. Never put off until tomorrow what you ran snare somebody else Into doIn for you today. According to recent disclosures, a broker may he a man who goes broke on other people's money. With 2., baseball leagues In action It should be possible to put that ld "sklddoo" sin on gambling. Now that calico has dropped CO per cent, all that Is needed Is to Induce !h? Irls to wear it. How the smaller nations love to emulate the great! Mexico now has n coal strike on its hands. A woman alweys feels a slight resentment when the man she has rejected Is happily married. If selling a six-cent ham sandwich for 30 cents Is an outrage, what Is a Hoston restaurv'tnt keeper? Europe Is a trifle overburdened with a radical sentiment that advocates less work 'and more fighting. This Is the greatest self-serve age since prehistoric times. Therefore, every man should be taught to cook. If an American Bolshevist could work his will, he would be able to stay right at home and die of typhus. Silk shirts are getting so cheap a fellow will have to have one or two of cojtton to wear when he's dressed Ut). Civilization devotes too mii?h time to investigation. afterward ard too l!ttle time to preventing evil Envelopments. The Mexican government Is no doubt hopeful tliat Villa will not revert to some ,of his old methods In demanding a subsidy for the farmer. -Another trouble About the fellow who always gives the fanner advice Is that he never seems to have anything else to give him. Many believe that the former czar of Russia Is still alive. If this is the case, existing conditions make It no fhvor to draw attention to the probability. Judging by the number of automobile and motorcycle accidents, that 'Safety First" propaganda has proved almost as elective as a camaplgn promise. Mothers should be careful about permitting their babies to he kissed by politicians who bellow wrath and lire upon the heads of the people who uro striving to save good government. Now Japan and China are at It again. As a peacemaker, the war has proved the wildest kind of a boomerang. Archangel Is reported to be In a state of terror from the official assassination of Intellectuals vyhat's In a name? The pinch of poverty to the modern woman is to be obliged to wear the same tint of hair for two months running. Cheaper shoes are reported on the way, and they'll probably get here about the time we're all wearing paper suits. Aviators are experimenting with a new "rain maker" project, but nothing ever will be found ir this connection that could Improve on a county fair. According" to the politicians, one-half of the American people are crooks and the other half angels, which would indicate that most of us doc c belong' at all. Ilolshevlm Invariably iise.s Its appeal to anybody who lus 'studied it sufficiently to get an Inkling of what It means. Mo-it business men hope to see the price of that which hey buy come down and the price of that which they sell go up. The Spanish prince Is a corporal In the army. He may think he Is somebody, but lie has not jet run up against the awful majesty of u second lieutenant.

Uncle Sam: The Poor Old Rich Fellow

v, I - m I WASHINGTON. The nation will face a continuation of the annu-, nl tax bill of $4,000,000,000 for at least' three years If congress adopts recommendation.! drafted by treasury officials and laid before Secretary Houston for approval. Mr. Houston," It was stated, probably will include such recommendations In the form of an analysis of the government's financial condition in his' annual report to congress. The analysis will show, and accompanying recommendations will suggest. It was said, that a three year program for tax revision Is required In order to meet maturing government obligations and cover current federal expenses and that approxNew Administration WASHINGTON. With the government likely to spend $4,000,000,000 or more annually for years to come, thevworklng out of an effective budget system will be one of the first tasks of the ilarding administration. The bill establishing a budget system may be passed in advance of the inauguration of Senator Ilarding as president next March. The Good-McCormlck budget bill is pending before the senate, after having been passed by both houses last spring, vetoed by President Wilson and repassed by the house As passed a second time by the house, a provision which the president objected to because he thought it encroached upon constitutional powers of the president with respect to the removal of officers appointed by him, was eliminated. In case the bill is passed during the winter session In advance, of March 4, there is a likelihood of the organization of a budget bureau before Senator Harding takes office as president. Under the bill, the secretary of the treasury Is made the director of the bureau while an assistant director Is provided to be appointed by the president at a salary of $10,-, 000 a year. A general accounting office also is created, headed by a controller general and assistant controller general appointed; bf the preslTen Thousand Have TVH LOST tXi LIBERTY 80NOS - MORE than 10,000 owners of Liberty bonds and Victory notes have lost their bonds either through theft, through destruction . by burning, or through some form of carelessness. The last official figures showed 7,503 persons1, having lost their bonds, of whom 0,038 were holders of coupon bonds. These figures are up to the close of the last fiscal year. For those who have lost their coupon bonds there Is little Velief. For those who have lost registered bonds there Is every probability of relief. Government officials say probably 50,000,000 coupon bonds still are In the hands of purchasers. The tales of those who had lost

Heigh Ho! 100 Women and Musical Satire

TIE first theater productions company ever planned, organized and managed by women, backed by a founders association of 100 women in official life and from business and professional circles In Washington, Including Miss Mary Anderson of Chicago, chief of the woman's bureau of the department of labor; Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, civil service commls'eloner, and Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, rent commissioner District of Columbia, recently launched Its first venture, "Heigh Ho," a musical satire. The officers of the new organization, the Washington Theater Productions, Inc., Mrs. Glonn A. Smith Tlnnln. Miss Kntherlne S. Brown, and Mrs. Mary Holland Klnkald, are well known In the Middle West. Mrs. Tinnin was born and reared in Chicago; Miss Drown made Chicago her headquarters while acting as western producer for eastern theatrical managers, and Mrs. Klnkalu was a member of the staff of the Milwaukee Sentinel and of the Inter Ocean.

Retention of the present aggregate levy of taxes, or maintenance of the annual revenue of the government at about $4,000,000,000, then Is held to be unavoidable on the face of average expenditures estimated for the period. Recommendations to be made by Mr. Houston, it was understood, will propose abolishment of' the excess profits taxes in their entirety and the substitution therefor of a graduated Income tax of a substantially deeper cut than under present revenue laws. It was believed the new income taxes would apply only to incomes above $5,000 annually and that provision would be made for a graduated increase even on the additional tax as the amount of Income grows larger. Tlje secretary Is expected to advise congress that the strictest economy In federal appropriations Is necessary If the program outlined on the basis of $4,000,000,000 tax bill is to be accomplished. , to Tackle Budget 'dent at salaries of $10,000 and $7.50 respectively. The new administration is expected to get the budget bureau in working order so "That estimates may be submitted under the new plan to congress In December, 1921, for appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1022. Already the house has adopted a change In rules that was intended to be supplemental to the budget bill. This' chrtnge centers in the hands of the appropriations committee the authority to report appropriations heretofore scattered among the coramitte.es on agriculture, foreign affairs, Indian affairs, military affairs, naval affairs, postoffics and postroads, and rivers and harbors. One large committee of thirty-five members will do the work which has been divided among eight committees. Lost Liberty Bonds their coupon bonds are most pitiable In many instances. Poor women who have struggled and saved to purchase government securities, either through carelessness or a variety of unfortuhute circumstances suddenly find themselves minus the bonds. They endeavor to recover them, fall, and then present their plea to the government. Of the thousands who have pleaded for the substitution of securities for coupon bonds, only a negligible percentage have produced sufficient proof of loss to permit the government to relieve them. This condition probably will be brought to the attention of the coming congress with n hope that s'orae measure of relief may be found for the owners of bonds as well as protection for the government The treasury officials again call attention to their pleading that coupon bonds be exchanged for the registered bonds. Almost every advantage is given the holder of registered bonds: Almost every disadvantage accrues to the holder of coupon bonds. And yet the people will not respond. Any bank will handle the matter. A&r -"yi theater, concert hall, all fully equipped. Plans for the building have been drawn, but without waiting for the completion of the edifice the founders already are at work on productions, leading off with 4IIeIgh Ho,M which will play in Baltimore and Itlchmond, and reach Chicago before the end of the season.
