Japan has thrown the gauntlet down before the league. And it is a safe wager the league will do little other than let it lie there. The United States was wise to withhold its membership from a league which has so little solid "P". ' foundation on which to stand.

This scheme calls for the employment of two persons at part time instead of one person full time. This may be meeting increased favor, but we know of no instance in this part of the state where it is being carried out. HUEY ON THE CARPET Senator Huey Long last week was called onto the political carpet to answer charges of alleged misdemisconduct, corruption, meanor, and several other items which were covered in the now famous magazine article written of by the former sergeant-at-arm- s the senate. The senate made an excellent showing when it heard and tried its own case, but whatever viewpoint the public might have held probably wasn't changed a great deal. Neither will Long's case add to the dignity of the senate. THE ORIGINAL COST From Washington cames the report that 12,000 men lost their war lives in the but there are 30,000 widows today drawing pensions from the government funds because their husbands Spanish-America- n saw service in that campaign. THE FLORIDA WAY Many have wondered why With merchants reporting that only a very few persons have re fused to understand the reason for stores going on a cash basis and registering their complaints, the grocers and meat markets of Helper and Price on Wednesday of this week adopted a strictly cash basis. The Henry Hall plumbing company also adopted the same standard Wednesday. Several of the larges stores have been on a cash basis for years, and more recently the hardware department of the Helper Hardware and Furniture company adopted a cash basis. Merchants have suffered severely because of the quit business conditions, probably worse than a great many wage earners, and have been forced to take this step as a matter of preservation of their business. It is believed the new system will function nicely when the public becomes accustomed to it.

Helper State bank will observe the holiday period, with the windows remaining open only for the purpose of accepting deposits and making change as an accomodation to the public. Private safety vaults also will be accessible to owners. No regular banking transactions will be handled during the holiday, according to Jack Vignetto, cashier of the local bank.

No fees are charged by any tax commission representative for assisting taxpayers or administering oaths. Residents of the state are urged to file their income tax returns on or before March 15. After that date taxpayers become delinquent and penalties are provided by law for negligence in filing returns. Many taxpayers are not filing their returns this year, anticipating that the current legislature will modify the tax laws and repeal the filing fee. Any action by the 1933 legislature will not be retroactive to 1932 income taxes payable March 15 this year. Failure to file within the time pre scribed by the present law due to the taxpayer awaiting action of the present legislature will not be considered as reasonable grounds for waiving the penalty for delinquency.
