The rising price of wheat, together with the large crop of that grain in the Northwest, is improving President Hoover's chances of carrying the two Dakotas and Minnesota.

Those who know that region say that the sentiment toward the Republican party is much better now than it was a couple of months ago. The crop of wheat is so good that most of the Northwestern farmers will make some money even at present prices. The Northwest is the spring wheat region. So the grain has only just been harvested. It will reach market then in time to benefit from the slightly higher prices.

And the prices may go considerably higher by the time the farmers sell their grain. There is a disposition on the farms to hold the wheat for better prices. And the money provided for financing the harvesting of crops through the reconstruction finance corporation may be used in such a way as to prevent the sudden dumninp' nf nil th. crowds watching the burly "rail devils" of the car tracks, repairers with black iron masks and horn-like hoods, graining the black of night with acetylene torches.

Teachers have been called everything from martyrs to moneygrabbers, and complaints have even been made that their already reduced salaries have not been cut enough. Let us consider a few facts of the case. First, between the years 1917 and 1920, members of the teaching profession suffered terrifically when prices mounted sky high and practically all wascs, except theirs, rocketed upward. When at last raises did come, they were not in general proportionate either to the increase of expenses or to the wages paid workers in other fields. All through the twenties it was common for factory workers and other unskilled laborers to be paid far more than high school teachers with two college degrees.

The last salaries to go up should not be among the first to come down. One reader of The Star has remarked that it is a question whether, in spite of the immense amount of money spent for education today, the schools are any better than they were twenty-five years ago. He has evidently overlooked the fact that twenty-five years ago schools were catering to the select few, whereas now we have as our objective education for all the children of all the people an experiment never before attempted by any nation at any time during the history of the ages. Are we willing to go back to methods of transportation, communication or sanitation of a quarter century ago? The schools are using every effort to bring forth a product fit to cope with the problems of present and future times not with those of 1907. Education is the hope of the future.

Trite as this saying may seem, the chances are that even with the return of so-called prosperity, the problem of unemployment will still remain. The only hope of avoiding bolshevism and radicalism lies in education. An educated person will think twice before turning fanatic. He will probably content himself with cultural or at least peaceful pursuits rather than be led into anarchy. The schoolboys and girls of today are the middle-aged people of day after tomorrow.

What kind of people they will be depends greatly on what the schools are able to do for them.

Mr. Bishop shows that, strictly speaking, there could be no "full payment of the bonus" at this time.

Those who were in Washington urging such action by Congress did not understand the situation. If full payment were to be made now there would be comparatively little due to those who took advantage of the recent opportunity to borrow 50 per cent on their certificates. It Is easy to believe that practically all the rank and file who made the trip to Washington did not have a proper understanding of the facts. As much can not be said for some of their leaders nor for the members of Congress who voted for the "full payment of the bonus" at this time. The leaders undoubtedly know the terms of the adjusted compensation certificates.

There is no excuse for any member of Congress being ignorant on the subject. One may feel sorry for the mistaken "bonus marchers," but can have no patience with a member of Congress who played politics with their misery. Mr. Bishop calls attention to another thing that must have impressed many who read the news accounts of the happenings in Washington and later in Johnstown. The leaders lived at first-class hotels, traveled in airplanes, sent hundreds of telegrams every day and gave other evidences of liberal financing.

They suffered no hardships. It was no secret in Washington that Communists were interested in the camp, not because they cared about getting a bonus for any one, but simply because they hoped to use the campers to stir up trouble for the win uc made to lend money to the millers A morning paper recently carried tivator, plow, disc harrow, wagon, truck wagon, three mules, one horse, six cows, two brood sows, for which thi3 farmer paid nearly three thousand dollars. Whenever the farmer had a calf to sell or any pigs that money went for interest. Just gave them away. That particular loan has been carried now for nearly nine years at $85 a year interest, and still the principal remains unpaid.

Still the loan company holds the mortgage on his farming tools and live stock. Whenever he replaced nn old cow with a young one, or bought new tools the loan company changed their books so they would have the correct description of each item in case they decided to foreclose. Did they not get the lion's share? If they would do what is fair they would return to him his mortgage marked "paid in full." Of course they are not so keen on foreclosure, for that gives them a black eye for business. Also prices are such that second-hand stuff is worth very little. No one has money to throw away on what one does not r.eed.

But several have been sold out at that. I presume they, too, paid in more in interest than they borrowed. This "one of the unemployed" is surely narrow minded when he figures it is better tcf pay 2J per cent a month interest from a loan company than to pay 8 per cent a year from a bank. The banks are not so hard on one as he would have you believe. Also some loan companies charge 3J per cent, so that makes matters worse still.

Let the Legislature reduce those loan rates. They are no better than any one else. No one asks us farmers if we wished an 85 per cent cut in wages. We got it and have to make the best of it. So here's hoping the same happens to the loan companies who reaped a harvest off of the poor man.

The selections made by President Hoover for directors of the new Federal home loan discount bank system seem to be those of men unusually well equipped for the responsibilities that will be intrusted to them. The home loan bank system is to be established under the provisions of a law which Senator Watson fathered in the session of Congress recently closed. The banks will be a new thing in the fiscal affairs of the country and it is specially important, that those named to get them under way should have thorough knowledge Qf existing conditions and vision to plan for the future.

Franklin W. Fort of New Jersey, who is to be chairman, has served in Congress, was formerly secretary of the Republican national committee and served in the food administration with President Hoover in the world war. He is president of a bank and an insurance company in Newark. He is vice president of two more insurance companies. He organized a building and loan finance committee to work out financial questions of the New Jersey building and loan associations.

William E. Best of Pennsylvania, another director, is president of the United States Building and Loan League. Dr. John E. Gries of Ohio is secretary of the President's conference on home building and home ownership.

He is former director of the Harvard bureau of business research and is chief of the division of public instruction in the Commerce Department. Nathan Adams of Texas is a banker, vice president of the United States Chamber of Commerce and a director in an insurance company. H. M. Bodfish of Chicago is executive manager of the United States Building and Loan League and is connected with Northwestern university.

The first three directors named are Republicans and the last two are Democrats. It will be their duty to get together and determine the number of home loan banks to be established and where those are to be located. The law calls for not fewer than eight nor more than twelve banking districts, with a bank in a strategic point in each district. It is expected that they will lose no tim'e in making decisions in order that the banks may begin functioning at the earliest possible date. A one-legged man is planning to climb Mt.

renllv mo THE G. 0. P. ROOSEVELT. Strange as it may seem to the average newspaper reader that any American voter could confuse Governor Franklin D.

Roosevelt, the Democratic presidential candidate, with the former President, who belonged to the opposite party, political scouts throughout the country report that a number of folk have made that error. It will soon be corrected, according to reports from the East, so far as a counter offensive involving the use of the Roosevelt name can undo mistaken impressions. Friends of Theodore Roosevelt, Governor General of the Philippines, have intimated that he will return to the United States about the middle of September to assist in the campaign for the re-election of President Hoover. He will make a number of speeches in the West, where the G. O.

P. high command learns that most of those live who believe the Democratic nominee is either the son of the elder T. R. or the former President himself. This belief has been confirmed by the number of dispatches received by Mrs.

Roosevelt, widow of the former President. More than three hundred messages of congratulation were sent to her home. If that many went so far as to wire, it is reasonable to assume that many more are mistaken in the relationship of the Democratic nominee. The Republicans naturally will make every effort to establish the true relationship, which is that of a distant cousin.

"A coronet of costly gems, rests upon the snowy brow, and robed in purest white, she seems a priestess at the shrine of loveliness." "Dream on, fond one the author apostrophizes the innocent and trusting betrothed at home, "unconscious of deceit." In "Concluding Tableau with descriptive fragments" we are taken again to the "unpretending home" on the blue Juniata where sit father, mother and betrothed awaiting Herbert's return. Instead of Herbert, however, comes a letter from which the innocent girl learns that "She is forsaken, she, the companion of his childhood, the loved one of his youth, she is forsaken and for a stranger!" There was but one thing for her to do what all these heroines did "with one heartrending cry" to fall fainting to the floor and later to have a severe illness which took her "to the brink of the grave." Then, "sad victim of inconstancy," she dragged her weary days along, "breathing no second "She passed through life with the unreal smile upon her lips, and the hollow laugh ringing from her tongue, and some, no doubt, deemed her happy and cold and heartless.

Point 2 is that there are three major veterans organizations the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Military Order of Foreign Wars. All these organizations frowned on the bonus march and as they represent the majority of veterans, those members of the so called B.

E. who happen to be real veterans, are in the position of a small minority trying to force their views on Congress and the country and as a result, they are allowing themselves to be used as a smoke screen for communistic activities. Newspaper reports tell of their pitiful condition in one paragraph and in the next relate how the leaders sleep in the best hotels, travel in special airplanes and send hundreds of telegrams. The real veterans would better themselves materially and obtain more respect from the country if they stayed at home where they could receive help from their friends and acquaintances. If they desire to be heard as veterans, the logical method would be to join one of the existing veteran associations, who have proven themselves and are held in respect by the veterans and the public in general and work-for their views in an orderly American way.

BISHOP. Past Twelfth district commander American Legion. Indianapolis. To the Editor of The Star: In following the fortunes and misfortunes of the so-called B. E.

including various letters in "Views of Our Readers" and editorials, two points come to my mind which do not seem to have received notice or comment and which appear to have a vital bearing on the consideration that should be accorded this group. Point 1 is that strictly speaking there can be no further "full payment of the bonus" at this time. An analysis of the face value of a bonus certificate shows that it is composed of (a) "adjusted service compensation," computed at the rate of $1 a day for United States service and $1.25 a day for foreign service, and (b) compound interest covering a period of twenty years. The "adjusted service compensation" was considered as due in 1925 by the passage of the bonus law. It could not be paid then, so it was funded and twenty years of compound interest added to the "adjusted service compensation" to make the "full value" of the bonus certificate.

To illustrate: A man whose "adjusted service compensation" was $600, was credited with approximately HI per cent compound interest for twenty years so that the face value of his bonus certificate was the "adjusted service compensation" of $600 by 2.41 per cent, or $1,446. If the bonus is paid now he would be entitled to compound Interest for only seven vears instead of twenty years, or $600 by 1.36 per cent, or $816. Payment now would reduce the face amount by the amount of unearned interest and the hero is their son Herbert. This tableau closes with Herbert standing in the moonlight whispering farewell to his cousin, for he leaves for Princeton the next day. Nations are a good deal like the average woman shopper, who buys where she gets the most for the money.

Yep, that's what our special session of the Indiana Legislature is trying to put over on the dear people. It took our Governor a long time to make up his mind to call a special session, for a clamor was set up early last winter, but all along his attitude was "nothing doing." The call was made to put over some tax measures to aid the tax-ridden public. To write a tax bill to aid our people would be an easy thing to do, but no one, either in the House or Senate, will gej down to brass tacks. The first and most important thing to do would bo to have all property listed, both tangible and intangible.

Just pass a law that all property must be listed for taxation and, if not, that it will be confiscated by the government, and then enforce the law and soon our tax rate will be below even $1.

The twelfth annual session of the Institute of Politics has opened at Williamstown, continuing until Aug. 20. This forum for the discussion of international problems has had a number of imitators among American colleges, but it probably remains the outstanding project of its kind.

The epeakers from various countries do not always reflect the vievrs of their governments, although they usually present majority opinion. The institute has divided its work into round-table discussions each morning, talks by three or four speakers on assigned topics in the afternoons and lectures by various American and European authorities in the evening. The Sino-Japanese controversy and the relations Of Japan with the leasue and the rest of the world will occupy a prominent place in this year's discussions. The forum was opened by Dr. Inazo Nitobe, member of Japan's House of Peers and a well-known economist.

His position on the program illustrates the importance attached to Japan foreign policy as a factor in world peace. Nippon is committed to international co-operation, Dr. Nitobe declared, although he admitted that it might withdraw from the league. Even that contingency would not affect its desire to co-operate with other nations, the speaker asserted, citing America's part in world affairs as a nonmember of this international organization. The Japanese economist expressed the hope that his country would remain a member of the league, also that the United States and Russia would join.

Without these two nations, Japan has usually felt like a mere spectator viewing European problems, Dr. Nitobe held. The speaker said that Japan had remained in spite of the fact that "at its inception the league gave rise to a doubt that Geneva might not prove perfectly fair or just." This reference alluded to the refusal of the peace conference at Paris to insert a clause in the preamble of the covenant concerning racial equality. This was a tremendous blow to Japan, the speaker added, and gave her the impression that on some vital issues she will be discriminated against. Dr.

Nitobe also took a fling at our Latin-American policy, a favorite topic with the Japanese in attempting to excuse their conduct in Manchuria and at Shanghai. "We have learned many things from America," he said, "especially in dealing with neigh- plying for a job. One of them is that the prospect shall be In good cus, 100-meter hurdle race, pole vaulting, throwing the javelin and a run. A similar term is "pentathlon," consisting of five events. Stress the second syllable here, a being short as in "am," de-kath-lon.

MACULATE. Verb. This rather uncommon verb comes from the Latin macula, spot, and means simply to stain or spot. It is, however, generally limited to such intangible things as honor, character, reputation, etc. To maculate one's honor is to defile it.

There is an ad When We Set Up a Jackpot physical condition. The point Is illustrated by the case of a young business official who had "a weak heart." Every time he be richer a man, the larger relatively should be his share. Summing it up, I would say, a sales tax is an avaricious, unfair system, intended to tax the majority least able to pay, for the sole purpose of relieving the privileged few of their just burden of the cost of government. A great authority on the tax question, and a friend of the common people, said: "An effort is being made by those who represent big business to shift the burden of tax from the profiteers to the masses. First, they demand the repeal of the excess profit tax and the substitution of other taxes that burden all.

The excess profit tax is the most just tax there is it is collected from those who collect excess profits that is, larger profits than they should. It is the only legitimate tax that a taxpayer can avoid by his own act. Let him stop stealing and he will not have to divide with the government. And yet this is the one tax that the reactionaries want repealed. The next demand is for the lowering of taxes on big incomes and an increase in the rate on smaller incomesas bold a piece of piracy as was ever proposed." I am in favor of having every one pay an income tax the ones who make the money should do the paying tax every one who earns let the ax fall where it may if you earn little you pay little if you earn much pay in proportion.

I can write a tax law that will put the burden of taxation where it rightfully belongs; raise enough money to pay the legitimate expense of government, without cutting anybody's salary, and still have the tax rate below $1.50. Also, I can write a banking law that will restore confidence, guarantee to every depositor his money any day he calls for it and still put the banking business where it belongs, or should be on a profitable basis and, from outward indications, it is not on a profitable basis now.

Lafayette Journal and Courier. Just to illustrate what is meant by the dole in aggravated form, note that the sovereign state of Arizona, with a population of 435,833, is asking for $45,000,000 out of the emergency relief fund recently created by Congress. Nothing more vicious, shame came involved in a complicated business deal, he would have a heart attack right at the conclusion and have jective of this same form, maculate, to stay in bed several weeks. Such meaning impure. The first is the accented syllable, and short, a man can never get to the very top, no matter how keen his mind.

I have had experience with a num performance he would have a breakdown and a substitute would have to go on for him. You could just count on it all his infinite pains and worries would go for nothing and the one night he should be on hand to reap the rewards, he would be flat on his back in bed. Now, the point of this, and practically all other similar cases, is that the only thing that broke down was his nerve. These people ascribe their troubles to a weak heart or a wean something else, but the real difficulty is with their backbone. Patients with real organic heart disease seldom have sudden breakdowns.

The heart gradually incapacitates them, but not from any acute worry or even any sudden strain. People, in general, with chronic organic disease, no matter of what organ, are able to get through an astonishing amount of work. I remember a woman with a severe case of pernicious anemia who did a hard day's washing the day before it was discovered. This is important for business executives who depend on a medical examination to determine whether a person is physically fit or not. Very frequently an applicant with a heart murmur will be turned down, who would do the job much better than a nervous flibbertigit who happens to have a sound heart.

The test of experience of trying the man on the job is the only real test of physical fitness. ber of such cases and there are one or two things about them from a medical angle which both executives Early Day News in Indianapolis and applicants for responsible positions should know. One person I have in mind was a particularly pathetic and slightly comic example. His ambition did not inated. The people must surely feel that any further tax imposed on the now over-burdened working people of America can not be justified under any circumstances.

If you are one of the common peopleand 85 per cent of us come under this class you must surely be against the sales tax. It needs no argument to show that the standard of consumption' inequitably distributes the burden. The rich with his $100,000 income or more a year can not eat or wear from fifty to a million times as much as the day laborer with his meager income of $500 or Ihp ordinary salaried man of $1,200 to a year. Nor in the ordinary course of events does he spend a hundred times as much on travel, automobiles, furniture or any of the other luxuries of life. Take it the country through, it is safe to say that expenditure does not increase in lead him to seek accomplishment in less and at the same time illuminating and significant, has come out of the relief movement.

The taxpayer should be mighty glad to know that the emergency relief fund for distribution to the states is safeguarded in the law and also by the character and high quality of the men in charge of the fund. Think this over: If Arizona is in dire need of of the Federal tax money, then Indiana Is entitled to $292,500,000 out of the Federal emergency relief pot. As a matter of fact, the fund amounts to $300,000,000 all told. If all the states were to imitate Arizona, the Federal government's bill for emergency state relief would total a little matter of $13,217,500,000. Somebody ought to suggest to Arizona that she revise her figures downward from $15,000,000 to the field of business, but he was death on amateur theatricals.
