HOLT'S QUIZ Dr. Hamilton Holt, editor of The In dependent, one of the strong-minded re publicans of the country, has put Pres ident Harding in a nolo only silghtly less deep than the Mammoth Cave Weary of the inexcusable delay of the Administration in taking some action on the issue of the league of nations and the peace treaty, Dr. Holt addressed a letter to the President asking him if he would mind telling the people what his plans are in refernce to the matter and what are some of the de tails of his proposed association of na tions. The letter has not been answer ed and probably will not be, for there is very little that the President can say about the matter and nothing at all that he will say. The fact is that President Harding has no definite plan today for establishing the status of Jhis country with the Allies. He had none during the campaign last fall: he had none when he went into office and he has failed to develop any since. The correspondents ' most intimate with the White House have been telling us since last March that President Harding was melting rapidly toward the "league of nations: that since he had looked the situation over along with Mr. Hughes and later discussed the for eign situation with Viviani and studied the problem more carefully, he has become convinced that in all essential details the league covenant is what is demanded by the situation. He realizes, however, that he has no chance to preserve party harmony and put through the Wilson program and he, therefore concocted some sort of an idea to rush the league covenant through under a new name, that of the association of nations. This, too, has encountered tiouble from all sides, from the faction o the party headed by Mr. Lodge and the faction led by Borah and Johnson. Instead of going into the matter seriously, therefore, Mr. Harding continues to delay, hoping, even against hope, that there will be some developments which will provide him with an avenue of escape. ' And this is the explanation of the shilly-shallying which we. have been ob serving in Washington. There is no telling what the Administration will do in reference to our foreign relations and there was, consequently, nothing for Mr. Harding to do except to tell Dr. Holt to attend to his own business, and he balked at that. Winnecke's comet is said to be no nearer than a million miles to the earth which would indicate that it is nearly as far up in the air as George Harvey. ONLY FEINTING This bit of news coming out of Was ington to the effect that Senator Lodge, Senator Willis and Senator So-and-so are about to break with the Administra tion, are pouting around in the senate and otherwise indicating animosity to ward the White House reminds us a great deal ofa baseball runner on third base who makes a feint of stealing home. About the time; the opposing pitcher gets his toe planted on the mound and begins to wind himself up for delivery, the runner dashes for the sack as if he was going to reaoh home base before the throw from the pitcher comes in. As a matter of fact, h has no notion of attempting such auda city on the sacks. What he really la trying to do it so upset the opposi tion, to frighten the pitcher into throw ing the ball hurriedly and perhaps wild, so that he may score on the error caused by the frustration. And that is what these hard-boiled Administration senators are trying to do. They want to confuse their demo cratic colleagues, feign rivalry and pre judice within the ranks of the party so that the opposition will go off half cocked and make a rank mistake of come kind. Lodge in his relation to the present Administration is as immo vable as Gibraltar. He would not bulge one iota under any circumstances and there are dozens of others like him, but they may hope to upset the cal culations of the democrats and so con fuse them that they will make the error of thinking that the republican order is about to collapse- . Tricks of this kind are old as this government. And Lodge a past master in playing them. BUILDING PRICES Recent renaissance in the building in dustry may be largely traced to a gen eral decline in the price of construc tion materials- Everything that goes into a structure is showing a decrease from former peak prices and while some materials are still, relatively, high builders are finding that it is much cheaper to build today than even a few months ago. One of the most im portant declines that has taken place is in the price of common brick, for the reason that brick constitutes one of the most pivotal building materials. According to the monthly digest of conditions in the common brick indus try as prepared by the Common Brick Manufacturers Association of America, there has taken place an average price reduction of 33 per cent. A year ago a composite price taken from reports of the membership, representing 60 per cent of the country's production, gave the figure of $24 a thousand. By Janu ary, 1921, the price had settled to $20.05, and from that point has steadily gone down until a composite price on May 1 shows the gure of $16.11. The low est price quoted in any section of the country comes from the southeast, where keen competition has even out done Chicago, which due to its fav orable clay and high plant efficiency us ually maintains the minimum price. In Mississippi and Georgia bricks have netted the manufacturer at the plant not more than $9 a thousand in some cases which is said to be decidedly be low the cost of production. In Chicago, the price is still $12 delivered. The current report shows fewer plants closed and a slight reduction of stocks with an indication of a little more business on the books. On May 1 there was 84 plants closed and on June 1 there were 49 closd of those reporting. Data compiled from 12 operations ranging from residences to large indus trial buildings by the secretary - of the Connecticut Brick Manufacturers Asso ciation shows the cost of brick in rela tion to the cost of the complete build ing to range from 5 to 14 per cent with an average in all types of 10 per cent. This figure covered face and common brick. Total cost of the build ing included only masonry, carpentry, roofing and painting items. Those sections which are experiencing the beginning of a building revival at tribute it to the voluntary reduction on the part of building trades labor. Other sections where labor refuses to take reduction are in the midst of strikes, with practically all work stop ped. Freight rates continue to be the greatest handicap in the way of con struction, according to the association. Since 1915, between plants and their principal markets there have been in creases in freight rates on brick of from 100 to over 500 per cent. According to a questionnaire recently sent out the average increase was- in excess of 200 per cent. ROAD BUILDING COSTS The Spartanburg Herald cites the case of a contract let by Richland coun ty for hard-surfaced roads to cost $26, 000 per mile as an indication that the costs of such roads are coming down. We don't know how the situation is in South Carolina .but Chairman Patje of the North Carolina highway com mission awarded a contract during the week for 10 miles of road from Winston Salem to High Point for approximately $380,000, which is at the rate of $38,000 per mile. Of course, there may be mitigating circumstances making this- contract run up to such figures, but even tak ing thu Richland county contract at 26,000 the mile, it is obvious that hard surfaced roads are still costing more than the people can well afford to build. We are not depreciating the value of such roads. There is a sense, perhaps, in which they may be worth all they cost, but we submit that it will take an exceedingly wealthy people to stand a cost of even $26,000 per mile, to gay nothing of the, $38,000 North Carolina contract. It certainly seems to be about time that the cost of such construction as this is reduced- Labor is available in abundant quantities at prices not half so high as labor commanded after the war and we imagine that labor is the biggest factor in the cost of road-building. Building materials of every sort are cheaper also, and yet it is apparent that there is very little difference, as witnessed to at least by these two ex amples, between the cost of building a hard-surfaced road today and the cost two years ago. HOW PRICES ARE ESTABLSHED An interesting story comes out of Asheville as to the fictitious methods sometimes used to establish market prices. A farmer of Buncombe county had brought a load of Irish potatoes to Asheville to peddle out during the day. He got $1 the bushel for the most of them, but had quite a lot left over and as night was drawing nigh, he realized that he would either have to take less than $1 or carry the pota toes home. He happened upon a man who said he would take the potatoes at 60 cents a bushel, although he really did not want them at any price, and the Buncombe 'county farmer, rather than haul his produce home, accepted the 60 cents. The next morning another farmer brought 30 bushels of potatoes to the streets of Asheville and the first man to whom he offered them said that po tatoes had been bought in that city the previous day for 60 cents a bushel and that was the prevailing price that morning. And thus the price of pota toes had been arbitrarily fixed by a farmer who wanted to get home at night and who was forced to unload his pro duce for 60 cents. That, we dare say, is a somewhat ex travagant case of price-fixation, and yet. undoubtedly, it is a method often pre vailing to regulate market quotations. It is an illustration, for one thing, at least, of the need for a market that will maintain established prices, such prices as will be known beforehand to the seller as well as to the buyer. It is possible to have just that soft of a market. UPSETTING THE REVALUATION MEASURE The State board of equalization has allowed the revaluation act and prin ciple as well to be dealt a blow be tween the eyes. Two-thirds of the coun ties kicked the traces when depression hit them and hot-footed it back to some where . in . the neighborhood of where they were before the tax books of North Carolina began to "tell the truth." And the State equalization authorities allow it. It is a severe renunciation of the re valuation act, for if the principle of this measure is violated in one county, the infraction is reflected over the whole. There can be no equity in hav ing the tax books of Mecklenburg, for instance, proclaim property values to be one thing and the tax books of Wil son county to say altogether a dif: fejent thing about property values down there.v If an acre of land in Meck lenburg county is worth $60, the acre in Wilson, similarly situated as regards other property and similiarly of inher ent worth, ought to be valued also at $60 and not at $40. And it is just such differences as these which will exist since some of the counties have been allowed the pri vilege of reducing their valuations and others have chosen not to reduce theirs. The real spirit as well as the fdfm of the revaluation act has been vio lated, ruthlessly violated. There is a sense, of course, in whk since all matters of taxation have been returned to the respeptive counties for self -definition, no serious State-wide evil will come of it. If some of the eastern counties choose to have a low valua tion and a high rate, it is their privi lege, other counties holding the right to have a high valuation and a low rate, but there is one distinctive point involved, and that has to do with the matter of sharing in the school, fund of the State. For instance, if some of these coun ties that have severely cut their valu ations discover that they will not have enough revenue to provide themselves with the sort of schools they want, and which the State wants them to have, then, obviously, they will reach their hands toward the State treasury and the State will be forced to respond. Thus will come about an inequity which is decidedly unfair to those counties that are trying to abide by the spirit and form of the revaluation act, the counties that are willing to give this new method of assessment at least a decent chance. . Would it not have been wiser, there fore, for the State board to have ad vised against any cuts whatever for the present or until such time as the new system will have had an adequate test, and then, if sentiment through out the State proved to be against it, there . could have been a State-wide movement to set it aside. - . Thomas M. Glasgow, chairman of the local Red Cross organization, makes a timely appeal in behalf of the stricken families in the wake of the disastrous Pueblo flood. One can see on the sur face that here is an insistent oppor tunity for making an investment where it is sorely needed and where it will be greatly appreciated. The mere call ing attention to the situation among the destitute of that section of the country ought to be sufficient to stim ulate the charitable spirit of the peo ple of this community. WILL CLEAR UP SECRETED ARMS Engineers Thought Respon sible for Putting Rifles on Ship. New York, June 18.-Assietant united States Attorney Isaac Gross Friday night asserted that circumstan ces surrounding discovery of nearly five hundred machine guns aboard th steamer East Side at Hoboken last Tuesday indicated that they were in tended for use against a friendly .nation and therefore . their presence was un lawful. Mr. Gross, by direction ' of Attorney General Daugherty, today took charge of the investigation to be conducted by three federal agencies into owner ship, of the munitions aboard the steam er. Reports had reached government agents that ,the arms were intended for delivery in Ireland. Mr. Gross said a careful investiga tion would be made of all circumstan ces connected with the discovery and, if the facts warranted, they would be put before the proper tribunal. Besides agents of the department of Justice, investigators of the customs service and shipping board, owners of the East Side, are working on the case. Mr. Gross said special agents of the department of justice were seeking a chief engineer who was alleged to have come to the. East Side shortly before the munitions were smuggled aboard and, after refusing to take the ship out, disappeared." Mr. Gross hinted that . two assistant engineers who appeared with this chief would be questioned when the East Side reached Norfolk, Va., as they were understood to have sailed with the ves sel. According to Chief of Police Hayes of Hoboken and information in the hands of government officials here, the East Side was scheduled to stop at Norfolk to load coal for Ireland. The excuse that the boat was not in proper condition, which the chief engi neer officer is alleged to have offered for not sailing with his ship, was con sidered a subterfuge by officials of the operating company. , Their suspicions were aroused and the raid by custom men followed last Tuesday. .A report was made to the shipping board, own ers of the vessel, that it had been defi nitely established the arms had been smuggled aboard at night. Federal agents also have been In formed that, an engineer officer who left the vessel when the marine strike was called had received an anonymous warning not to return. This warning was recalled only after discovery of the arms. TABLET TO POE. Paris, June 18. Count de Byren Kuhn, young Polish arte, poet.and archeologist, will place a bronze tab let executed by himself to the memory of Edgar Allen Poe on the American poet's grave June 25. -The tablet is the gift of more than 2,000 literary men and women of France, members of the French Literary Society and the Alliance Francaise and bears the inscription "To the Memory of Edgar Allen Poe, Eternally dear to the hearts of his French friends, this small trib . ,t$ his genius is dedicated." We often find a certain pack through out the universe who talk behind a person's back and brand him with a curse. ' But when they meet him on the street they tell him he's fine and sweet, the kind of guy they like to meet. He wins their heart and purse. But the moment that he passes by. they cry, "Confound the boob! To me he's worse than poisoned pie, a sim ple, brainless rube. To tell the honest gospel truth, he seems to me to be, forsooth, extremely-dirty and uncouth. Hi3 nose looks like a tube." And then they walk about the town and draw the folks aside, knock his reputation down and brand his sorry hide. . They tell of things" he did not do, of rotten scan dal old and new, and not a word they say is true. They glory to deride. Then when they pass him by again they bow and scrape the ground, and say, "Your middle name is Brain. Your rival can't be found. You can handle any rope. YouH be president, I hope. Let's go in here and get a dope. I'm gay when you're around. And so they go on day by day insin uating lies and swearing that some harmless jay is worse than poisoned pies. Behind his back-the fuss takes place. They will not tell him to his face ihat he is uricouth, low and base. They do not like his size. The truth is that the ginks who curse and bawl a fellow out are some 25 times worse than those they talk about. A muffled threat behind one's back is evidence of menial lack but still there is a certain pack who do it without doubt. Copyright 1921, By 'ws Publishing Co. GYPSY MAIDENS- SOLD AS WIVES Parents of the Bridegroom Put Up Cash for Delect able Damsels. Minneapolis, Minn., June 18. Al though it is the custom among the gyp sies tc have the parents of the prospec tive bridegroom purchase a wife for their son, covetous wealthy candidates are not always successful even when bidding larger sums for the. maiden's hand. - 1 Such was the information gleaned by John D. Greathouse, a local at torney, who acted as counsel fort a Chicago gypsy grottier and father when they came here in an attempt to take back their daughter whom they charg ed was kidnapped, while the mother of the groom-elect maintained she had paid $2,000 for the girl as a wire for her son. "I have learned that when mother of a girl among the gypsies takes a lik ing to a young man and considers him suitable for her daughter, a nominal price will always get the bride-to-be even though there are other offers much higher by mn not so well liked," declared Mr. Greathouse. The attorney said that under the tra dional customs of the gypsies, the gypsies, the younger generation has no voice in determining their mates, and the matching is a matter for the parents only. "Generallv, the mother of a young man, usually around his 19th year, picks out a girl, dickers with her par ents and buys her outright,"- the at torney said. "Then they are married according to gypsy law, after whicr. the groom's parents, in " almost every case, start him in business of some kind to make a livelihood." In recent years, certain gypsy par ents, after obtaining money ' for their daughters, have invoked the American law and had the daughters returned, just to resell them, according to Mr. Greathouse. In most cases, however, when the young suitor is thus outwit ted, his parents get their money" re turned by going before a, gypsy tribu nal, before which a trial is held, he said. A few of these cunning gyp sies, however, fail to adhere to their native laws and the gypsy court's de cisions, and with the aid Of the Ameri can statutes, defraud parents of the suitor, he added. For such an act, however, ihe gjpsies are disowned by their people, the attorney said. , Mr. Greathouse said a settlement had been effected in the case with whish he was connected, by having the money returned to the young man's parents and the girl returnsd with her parents to Chicago. TAX OFFICIALS TO MEET IN SEPTEMBER Bretton Woods, N. H., June 18. -Tax problems as they affect the individual as well as the community will be dis cussed in all their phases by members of the National Tax Association at their annual convention here begin ning September 12. It will be the first time that the organization has met In New England. The form of the Federal revenue act probably will be known before the con vention date and its discussion is ex pected to result in the attendance cC many experts specializing in Federal taxation. Inheritance taxes, Federal subsidies, forestry taxes and railroad and public utility taxation are other special topics to be discussed. The association is composed of tax officials of the various states, the United States Rossessions and the Ca nadian provinces as well as numerous municipal tax officials, tax experts and attorneys, economists and individual and corporate taxpayers. Zenas V. Bliss, chairman of the Rhode Island tax commission, is president of the or ganization. WILL BUILD BRIDGE ACROSS FRISCO BAY San Francisco, June 18. San Fran cisco's "Chinese Wall" as some have called the waters of San Francisco bay which separates this peninsula city from the continental mainland of Ali meda county, is to be crossed, accord ing to plans announced here recently. All the plans call for a bridge across the bay, with on scheme proposing a tube to Yerba Buena Island, halfway across, and a bridge the rest of the distance. Bridging the bay would, it is claim ed, bring closer together the city of San Francisco with the cities of Oak land, Berkeley, Alameda and other points on the continental side of the metropolitan area. Daily, hundreds of thousands of people, who live across the bay cross on the ferries and gen erally, on Sundays and holidays, the ferry systems cannot keep up with the rush of automobiles seeking passage across. k . , The Westinghouse Storage Battery has an eighteen-months iron-bound guarantee- CROATIA ; . , I Stepchild of th Balkans Washington, June 18. A brief cable item concerning a proposed Peas-; ants' Congress in Croatia may seem : remote to many Americans, but it is home .lews for some hundreds of thou sands, of Croatians and their kin in the United States," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C, headquarters of , the National Geographic Society. j "Before the World war the emigra tion stream from Croatia flowed from Fiume and Trieste as constantly aS the water trickles through and under the limestone plateau of the Karst region, a noteworthy physical feature of Croa tia. And it is because parts Of Croa tia are barren of soil, that the indi- . genous human product had to trans-, plant ltseir to sudsisi. . . BORA SYMBOLIC- "Another physical feature of Croatia, the bora, a violent northeast wind that sweeps down the Adriatic coast from the back country plateau, seems symbolical of the country's history. It has been said that Croatia was to Hungary what Hungary was to the fallen Dual Empire. For centuries Croatia struggled to throw off the yoke of Magyar domination.: "But one Should not conclude that Croatia is barren or desolate. To the northwest is the majestic range which gives to the region the nickname of 'Croatian Switzerland.' The plum brandy 'Slwowitz betokens the luxu riant orchards of Slavonia. For the full title of the present component part of Jugo-Slavia which formerly was a crown land of Hungary is Croa tia and Slavonia, having an area twice that of our Massachusetts and two thirds the population of the Bay State. "Though Croatia and Slavonia 1-3 rich in agricultural land, has vine yards, pastures and forests, lack of Capital has handicapped commerce and industry. Indeed its southwest, rich in forests and grazing land and accessible to the sea, is accounted one of the least developed regions, economically, in Europe. ..The chilling blasts of th3 bora have something to do -with the sparse population and backwardness of this region. " - WINE CHEAPER THAN WATER. "Wine is cheaper than water in some sections. A curious by-product Of the vineyards is the 'grape cure' at Zom ber, a sanitarium where the chief pre scription is a stipulated ration of th.-j variety of grapes held to be beneficial for the ailment under treatment. "Croatia's chief city, center of her politics and culture, is Zagreb, former ly known better by its German name, Agram. Here is a modern, busy city, with art collections, a University, parks and proportionately as many statues, it would seem, as Washington, D. C. For a thousand persons to gath er here in a week enroute for a port to set nail for America was no uncom mon event in pre-war times. EACH TOWN HAS ITS COSTUME. . "But the rural regions of Croatia, with an almost patriarchal or family order of life, naturally betray customs and costumes of remote generations. As one writer to the National Geo graphic Society put it: " 'In Croatia every village and ham let has its particular costume. So one who knows the countrysides can tell at once the girl from Siasek from the vineyard lassie of Zombor, and she can tell you who has come from Ogulin, where the moss grows heavy on the roofs, and who makes herhome beside the Plitvica-Lakes,-the summer resort of all Croatia.'.. "A handkerchief, not a ring, is the engagement present of a Croatian swain to his lady love. If he finds favor in her eyes she acknowledges his gift with an apple. Marriage is the Croatian girl's long contemplated aim At seven or eight years she begins knitting stockings, for custom decree that the bride must bring enouh stockings to last both her and her hue band for the rest of their lives." JAP STATESMEN GOT NOTICES OF DEMISE Tokyo, June 18. Viscount Mayeda and Viscount Aoki, both very promi nent members of the House of Peers, were considerably surprised, as were their friends, when they receiv-id elab orate mourning cards announcing their death. The cards were gotten up in the usual formal style employed on such occasions, chief mourners, among them Premier Hara, were named, ar-Q every thing was in regular shape except for the fact that the persons whose deaths were announced were entirely ignorant of their decease. The authorities in Japan do not take jokes of this kind, however, and after a searching investigation it was found that the jterpetrators of the hoax wnre members of a political organization of radical vounjr men. The wish was father to the thought. Several of them have been arrested and prosecutun will tJroceed with all the gravity m the world. v w COLONELORDERED FROM OGLETHORPE Washington, June 18. Removal of Colonel Frederick S. Foltz from com mand at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., for al leged mistreatment of a military pris oner has been ordered by Secretary Weeks. Adjutant General Harris said today the orders were in course' of preparation. The prisoner, Private George P. Rhodes, alleged he had been shackled in chains so tightly when he return ed frdm an absence without leave that his lees became swollen: Colonel Folt will be ordered to report to the com manding general in the Oglethorpe area for assignment to other duty. .
