The income tax.
Who will nav the income tax the rich
man or the poor man? Labor as repre-
sented by the poor man will most as
suredly pay the bill. For instance sup
pose the owner OF the Narragsnsett hotei
was taxed for his income. Like Ioyai
subject OF Uncle Sam he settles. Iheh
suppose, and il is not unlikely TO suppose
such thing TO be q fact, that ne auus
this amount to his charge to the iessee
of the hotel. Does it stop there!
No. The landlord must get
even and so he adds to his rate per diem
for bed and board. The drummer or traV-
cling man pays the advanced rate ana
| charges IL on his expense account. When
| he returns to New York the merchant
who employs him notes the increase In the
| hotel rate smiles and adds trifie to the
| cost OF goods sold in this section in the
| future. Who buys the goods? The labor
| ing people. Then who virtually pays the
| income tex OF the rich man? The labor
| ing man OF course.
| The American idea.
/
foster the foreign methods OF doing busi-
ness into the government of this country
| the more he advocates the American idea
| il he be an American. An American idea
worthy OF consideration is the one which
is being promulgated by the American
| Children's Educational League. The OBJ
ject is to have the children OF the poor as
| well as the rich obtain the advantages OF a
| common school education and that the
people be taxed to pay the bills. Instead
| OF parents being obliged to take their
children out of school that they may go to
work to help support the family, have
| compulsory law in force that they attend
school until they are 16 years of age.
The rich boy and the poor boy would
then have an equal chance, and in time
we would thus have better citizens and
purer politics.
In Turkey you can get Hemam for &c
cents. You can take Hemam even as
low as four cents. What is a Hemam
Well, a Hemam is Turkish bath. i re-
member the last Turkish bath 1 took in
the old Sanitary Gymnasium on Aborn
street. BY the way, they tell me they
have ripped out the big swimming tank
INC Itlcliou w. w hab
shame. Not free bath in the
to go by when the youngsters
at the city's expense might enjoy and
cleanse themselves at the same time in the
summer at least. With the swimming
tank out went the bath rooms. / under
stand bowling alleys are to take up the
area of the tank. The Turkish baths are
located next door, however, at 36 Aborr
street and Manager Smith, with the con-
veniences all on one floor, is ready to serve
those who relish the luxury of Turkish
bath. A good many think there is som,
mystery attached to Turkish bath. Nci
at all. You simply are thorough,
cleaned in a common sense manner. tt
keep in good trim you should take one oi
these delights OF living at least once
week.
You shave, of course You also bav

uous on my part would recommend tina

kind. Skilled workmen, plenty OF light

Apublic debate will take place at tn

ject the speakers will discuss will be Obi
metalism, Whether or not it should b
considered the monetary standard of tn
United States.
II the devil had his due good man
people would be broke.
Arguing with man who believes
amounts to no more than q dead cat is
waste Of breath.
When you are in doubt whether a ma
wishes to bow to you have him bow first
When person stares at you don't star
back again for you will appear as ILL bre
yourself.
Many couple is married who make
failure trying to make the best of it.
The man who gets to the top is not al
ways the one who starts from the bottom
Because man wears long hair an
fringe on his pantaloons it is no sign ths
he is genius.
One ounce OF fact is better than twent
pounds of theory.
