This more than $4,000,000,000 in taxes, largely paid in by war profiteers during the war, was refunded, mostly to the great, greedy and grasping individuals, partnerships and corporations which, in the orgy of dishon esty and corruption, were the favorites of the government in that period. For the most part, it was paid out by subordinate employees of the treasury secretly, and the high officials of the treasury professed not to know how or why it had been paid out Some of us fought this more or less legalized graft for more than 10 years, and during that fight we cut out a great deal of it. I sincerely hope we can soon get rid of all of it. "It was during this period that the oil pirates, led by Doheny and Sinclair, despoiled the government of hundreds of millions of dollars. It was during this period that officials of the Veterans' bureau despoiled the government, and also the veterans, of the funds due the veterans. It was during this period that those in charge of the property of foreigners taken over by the government during the war became dishonest and corrupt. It was during this period that subsidies to the great shipping interests and the aisways interests were put through, and which still continue to take from the people their taxes by scores of millions. Legalized grafting became one of the most successful and important of businesses, and everyone apparently who could obtain these vast gratuities from the government, whether entitled to them or not were seek' ing thus to mulct their own government $4,183,-138,817.- 39 By the Cuban County lishing Company.

MAKE THEIR VISIT PLEASANT IT is on rare occasions, indeed, that a community has the honor and privilege that Price has this week, that of playing host to many of tiie outstanding bands of schools in the states of Colorado and Utah. Serving aa host under such circumstances is an honor of such outstanding quality that it calls for recognition as such by every resident of our community. Bringing music, especially in our schools, to such a high point aa it is bound to attain under campaigns of competition such as the annual in termountain contest, will rebound to the advantage of the nation, the state and the community. It will bring advantage to every community interested in a participating way for a district with music as an important point in its cultural sting is certain to be a community where the superior qualities far surpass any of an inferior nature. Each and every resident of Carbon county, for this is a county affair, should lend every effort toward making pleasant the visit of the competing hand members. CAUSE OF PRESENT ECONOMY CONOMY is the cry of the hour, economy the practicing of which by those who hold office through public favor, must needs bring trying conditions for those who suffer slashing of their incomes. If those who have benefited to a large degree through the bringing about of condin tions making necessary the practicing of economy would be the ones who would have to bear the burden of the reduction of governmental costs it would be fair and just However, the cutting of costs makes necessary the penalizing of the innocent this because at the fact that the people exercised poor judgment in the selection of public officials in the past Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee recently delivered a radio address during which he printed out some of the abuses which brought about the depressed condition of the country, hi remarks showing how the comparatively few privileged benefited at the expense of the many. The following exempts of his address are particularly in tens ting sad to the print: "There was never such an orgy of speculation, dishonesty, corruption, frenzied finance, ficticious values, fraudulent stocks and bonds, dishonest trade and commerce transactions aa during the period of 10 yean following 1920; and all these conditions and practices were reflected in our government and its expenditures; and it became a highly artistic accomplishment and a more or less honorable distinction for many of those in high official positions to steal from our government. Those who stole without getting caught did not receive so much distinction.' Some of these enormous sums of money raised by taxation was spent for governmental purposes, but a. very large portion of it was spent in every conceivable form of graft known among cor- so-call- AN EXCELLENT MEASURE SENATOR E. F, Costigan of our neighboring state, Colorado, recently introduced a measure in the nations upper legislative body which should receive the loyal support of all who are really interested in taxation fairness. The Colorado solons measure calls for an amendment to the United States' constitution which would abolish all tax exempt securities. All securities issued after the adoption of the proposed amendment would be taxable both by state and federal authority, and after ten years, outstanding securities issued before the passage of the amendment would be taxable, too. Explaining his measure, Senator Costigan stated: "We can see now the evil of immunity for great fortunes from tax burdens at the very hour when the need for increased revenues is greatest 'Wealth hibernates when the need for contributions is most severe, and emerges from its hiding place when profits begin to run high and taxes are reduced.

An eminent geologist some time ago warned the people of that region that they live in an earthquake zone, and should build their dwellings and other structures to withstand shocks. This adds something to expense, but it can be done is dona The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce objected to this warning. It was "had for busi ness. So they found another geologist who was willing, for a consideration, to contradict the first, and tell the people that they need not wor ry about earthquakes! And then, as the old Greeks say, "the god shook. The quake killed 122 persons. The coroners jury says there was no criminal responsibility for these deaths. Legally, no doubt that is correct But morally, some of these fatalities are chargeable to the Los Angeles chamber of commerce and its tame geologist And this is typical "Solid business men of San Francisco a generation ago, raised a storm when scientists from the public health service found bubonic plague in that city, and took the ruptionists. was some that $4,000,000 period spent lead in having those scientists recalled.
