MRS. JACK GARDNER OFFERS
A STUDY IN SELFISHNESS

Of Her Conduct at Concert, Says Adenne Stanley Carrick.
BY ADELINE STANLEY CARRICK.

n - RS JACK GARDNER, whose greatest desire seems % b to lead alone

theatres require the nov of big hats,b ut there is o rule concerning
the symphony concerts, only a general request that hats shall be removed.
From time mmemorial this rWe "a accepted, until Mrs. Gardner sauntered

SevTalw ONE Immediately followed her example. A person who la any
of leading ability can always find sone followers. Others looked theirh in
dgnation. 1t is said that Mrs. Gardner subscribes nberary> to the symphony,
but it seems to me hat her money is used to further n better the concerts

r TE AND MUNICIPAL ExTRAvAoANcs.

It is an impudent plea to set up in behalf of a State graf of the municipal
railroad taxes that there has bent too much extravaganza o the part of the
municipalities ind by local school boards. Within a few years the State ex-
pendhuresf have trebed. The most extravagant municipality in New jersey
cannot approach that increase in its annual expenditures. The big aggregate
Of municipal debt has been pointed to as evidence of reckless fnanciering. For
that Indebtedness the State itself is responsible. The Legislature passed laws,
and kept them or the statute books For many years, by which vst amounts of
railroad property we're exempted from the municipal taxes imposed o other
property The loss of this large tax revenue compelled the municipalities to sell
bonds an pile up permanent debts. For man years the accommodations of the
public schools were inadequate and the teachers were poorly paid. When the
Legislature restored the railroad taxes to the municipalities for school purposes
The money vas Immediately Used to repair the neghds of the past. And this
is o. called municipal extravaganza and is made an excuse for taking back
the railroad taxes to faten State extravaganza.

IT is stated that over one hun
bred people of Mountain Home
and vicinity spent the Fourth III
Boise and other towns where
celebrations were being held. A
conservative estimate OF the
amount OF money that was thus
taken out of town is ten dollars
per capita, or total OF over a
thousand dollars. True, the
band boys received $3.50 for their
services at Boise, out there is
some doubt whether any con-
siderable part OF that sum ever
got back 10 Mountain Home.
But, be that as it may, the. fnct
remains that III consequence OF
the lack OF celebration at home,
considerable sum OF Mountain
Home money went out OF town
OH that day. There is good rea-
son to hope that this will not
happen again next year. A
number of business men have
expressed the opinion that we
can we'll afford TO spend fairly
large sum for a celebration that
will draw the crowd this way
and if the results of this year
are kept in mind there should
be no trouble next year in get
