MUST HAVE ECONOMY

City Auditor Harry s. Elliott
has disclosed to the city officials
and the citizens of Marion the
financial condition with which they
are confronted and has counseled
yes, almost demanded, that the
lwatchword from this time on be
Economy" II is shown that in
the past few years, the city has
been living at too rapid pace.
! Too much has been undertaken and
50 far as ready money in the city
| treasury is concerned, there is no
such thing. Council went ahead
and appropriated money for var
lous Improvements where there was
no money to appropriate and the
boards of the city government have
gone ahead under the authority of
the council. Suddenly they find
that they are facing a stone wall.
They have been ordered to proceed
and there is no money with which
to proceed.
While we do not care to adver-
tise the condition with which Mar
ion is confronted. we feel that a
strict line of economy should be
insisted upon sufficiently to insure
the adoption OF a retrenchment pol
Icy by the city officials. The rules
which are adopted by business men
are very good ones for the city
to adopt. In these times of finan-
cial strinency, retrenchment has
been the order all along the line.
1t is being practiced by private in
dividuals and by corporations to
the fullest extent. II is time for
the city to adopt the same policy
and cut its expenditures to the
quick until such a time as the
finances of the city have been re-
plenished and the work OF i'm
provements can be resumed with
out embarrassing the city and the
taxpayers
City Auditor Elliott is to be
commended for the stand he has

listment records showed that 23 per
cent were human picture books.
The reenlistment records showed
that the habit had become 50 popu-
lar that 81 per cent had taken 1t
up.
There is no limit to the size, In.
tricacy and position OF the de-
signs. A composite picture of the
whole crew wouldn't leave a patch
of skin as large as postage
stamp without some device or other.
"Letters, mottoes, initials and al
lied devices head the hst', says
Surgeon Farenholt, "and constitute
about 26 per cent of all ink marks
Coats OF arms and national emblems
follow with about 25 per cent,
then flags, anchors, etc. One in
every three men tattoed selects a
design, some part of which is a
female figure. Less than per
cent show indecent subjects; al
most invariably such designs have
been covered by ether work Among
the types are apprentice knot; pig
on dorsum of foot supposed to
shield its possessor from death by
drowning; cruclfix which in case
of leath would insure Christian bur

entire back was covered in one
case by large Masonic column

popular on reenlistment than
