In report substitutes for certain parts

They have found that the stamp tax
is a political in it. il. t so they tire K-
ins to Ret lid of it. Hut they ire K-
lr.it to substitute ether taxes such as
an increased Income lax and a tax
on tniinilions. They find il necossnry
lo make up deficits by u rnntiniiarnv
af special taxation and the chanite tn
form of taxation Is only a matter of
political expediency. The first ex-
planation offered for u continuation of
war taxes is the decreased Imports
due to tho war. This fiction has been
kept up now for two years but is u
deliberate perversion of Ike truth and
only insisted upon in the hope that
the ordinary citien will not invest!

j THE MAN ABOUT I
J TOWN I
When "Dixie" SmiiHled Host.
There are some rooiI thins every-
where. It is passim? stiamte but the
first proper respect shown the na-
tional anthem in Tulsa to our knowl-
edge was ttlven Monday niKht nt the
boxiiiK contest. When the band befian
the Inspiritm' strains of the "Star
SpaiiMled Hanncr" every person In
the house arose and every hat came
off. Shortly after the band played
Dixie" and everybody cheered as
usual. The Man About Town admits
that he has been seriously annoyed
i le.vo the indifference
shown the nation's hymn which has
been all too common in iuisu. mm
the men of other nations lire showinB
their patriotism by the shodduiK of
their own blood certainly the simple
ceremony of risniK to the feel dur-
ing the playimt of this music should
appeal lo all. It Is to be hoped that
the custom once . started will al-
was be observed by our citizens. Kor
the tirst time we could not refrain
from joining In the enthusiasm shown
when "Dixie" was played und all be-
cause o' what had none before.
Wo Torsive When We I'lulersiniul.
When the Man About Town was
Just beitinnitiK to take notice of things
he was greatly fascinated by a pic-
ture of what he called "Ihe long man"

tained In u book on the reconstruc-
tion davs wrltted by a carpetbagger.
According lo family traditions he
never was happy until he got It and

struggles. Not until he saw the other
side of the story us depicted in "The
Hirth of a Nation'' did he have the
slightest comprehension of what the
movement meant to the south.
m'i.i.. nill tin inestimable
good not as vlndicatliiK one side
against the other nui as hi-uiuh;
showing tho driving motlves.und
natural resentments of the south. It
would be an excellent nddttion If
more of the patriotic sincerity or me
north and the spirit of sacrifice
there as mothers looked Into the
faces of their sons for tho last time
and klsed them a heart-breaking
good-bye to see them rush forward
to what they believed to be their
life and death duty could bo shown
with the same Intensity. There were
mistakes on both sides but there was
also lovullv to Ideals which both In
victory' and defeat blaze with eternal
brilliancy. . '
No longer therefore will the Infant
terror of "the long man" determine
how we shall feel toward tho south.
No longer shall the "Star Spangled
thinner" bring us to our feet wiille
"Dixie" seals our Hps but we shall
sing them both together and know
in preference neither north nor
south but Just old grand America
loved by nil und supreme in every
heart.
So Welcome Hoys in nine.

In no partisan spirit this time do we
write when we admit that the nation
has never honored them half enough.
It will be a sad day for patriotism

answered the assembly call on the
other side. Don't Insist upon etoing

MAKE MOVE TOWARD
METHODIST UNITY
Plans Launched for Unifi-
cation at (leneral
Conference..
SAUAOOTA PPU1NOS N. Y May 17.
The unification of American Method-
ism was advanced another step to-
ward consummation Tuesday when
by a voto that was virtually unani-
mous the 8S0 delegates to the general
conference of the Methodist-Episcopal
church anopted the report of the spe-
cial committee on unification paving
the way to an amalgamation with the
Methodist-Kpiscopal church south
and the Methodist Protestant church.
The adoption of the report which
was the most Important and far-
reaching legislation that hns been en-
acted by a Methodist general con-
ference in many years was attended
by a tremendous demonstration of
enthusiasm. The greut auditorium
rang with cheers and applause as the
uged bishop. Kurl Cranston who pre-
sided while tho action was taken and
liishop K. R. Hendrlx. senior member
of the board of bishops for the south-
ern church clasped hands upon the
platform and wept with emotion.
A' Great Moment.
"This is the supreme moment of
my life" cried liishop Cranston.
"A marvelous result has been
achieved" liishop Hendrix said. "I
pray that the whole Methodist body
throughout the world may more and
more sec eye to eye and Bishop Crans-
ton and mysehT may live to stand
Jointly over the united general con-
ference of United Methodism in
America."
A terrific outburst of applause
Htiickly gave way to song as the del-
egates loined In the hymn "Praise
tiod From Whom All Illesslngs Flow"
and then took up the strains of "West
He the Tie That Binds."
On the platform with Bishop
Cranston and Bishop Hendrix was
one clergyman who attended the his-
toric general conference of 1844 at
New York the lust in which the

Today"s action does not unite the
two branches of the Methodist de-
nominations but continues the nego-
tiations for a reunion.
"The points of agreement are
many; the points of disagreement are
few" Bishop Hendrix said.
It Is generally believed that the

of the Methodist church south will
accept the plan for reunion which
the northern church hopes to bring
to final fulfillment at its general
conference In 1920. The conference
today took Ithe first ballot for new
bishops.
