Monthly Sales Day.

Monthly Sales Lay.
 Batesville and Newark are botf meeting with success in inducing more business to their towns by means of monthly salesday. What others find profitable we can surely adopt, without even the small risk of experimenting.
 In recent years the country stores have made big inroads up on the business of many towns and cities. They can sell as cheap and do, and while as a rule their stock is not as exten- sive, they have the advantage in being closaxto the home of the consume The farmer needs these stores and they serve him we'll. They have as much right to all the business they can get as any merchant and they have the advantage of closer personal acquaintance, friendship and neighborhood ties among the peo- pie to whom they sell.
 The more progressive the cities and towns are, the better hold, they possess in securing trade. A city must make inducements that will interest and attract the lollt-' slider, or why should he leave his work, farm or home and travel many miles to do his trading Right here, we might add a word for good roads for it takes good roads too, to lessen distances to a city in the mind of the far mer.
 Sales days are as a rule made interesting by z each mer- chant offering something special. Make the price on it interesting and givo a value that is l1nques- toned. Each merchant should also offer. a premium: one for the biggest wagon load of peo- pie brought to town on that day, while another merchant puts up something for the man who buys the largest bill of goods from him, etc. These are merely s1lg- gestions taken from what ner-- chants in other towns have done.
 One feature that can be used successfully is to provide free the services of an auctioneer, wht will sell not more than three head of stock for any one man. Make the day a stock trading day and the farmer twenty miles away in the border of another county will come.
 A monthly salesday would not be much of a salesday without advertising. The people must be told about it over and over again and printers ink is abso. Intely necessary. Such expenses should be paid from "a common fund, raised by subscription pay able monthly or contracted for the individual merchant at his expense. !
 An executive Committee or board should be elected to take charge of and direct the move ment.
 Newport needs more of this CO., operation among her business men in going after outside bus mess, and monthly salesdays is a practical method of getting re suits, increasing our trade ter ritory, making that we already have more responsive and giv- ing life and snap to all lines of business and our own public spir- it. -.

exceedingly. and they are getting
every member to promise TO be
present and the rivalry is keen.
Practically every society in the
city union is going to the church

ment." will be the guest of the Rev

George Carson Boyd, the florist, has
kindly loaned palms and ferns, SO

W.C.T.U. SPENDS
WEEK AT PRAYER

The Week of Prayer is being OBJ
served by the National WOmens
Christian Temperance Union this
week. It is the hope of the local
unions that city ministers will re-
member this observance, and partici-
pate by prayer and sermons in their
churches. The national society asks
for "a better observance of tho Lord S
Day" as the special theme for prayer
and preaching this week. They ask.
That all who love the Lord and His
Day throughout the world join in
prayer that His blessing and guild
ance be given the efforts put forth
Tor its preservation. To this end we
ask
That pastors preach on the Sab
bath question during this week and
arrange for a service of prayer in
the interest of the Lords Day In con-
nection with the Sabbath schools,
Young Peoples Societies, and other
associations in connection with the
churches,-
That every organization throughout
our land whose object is to better the
condition of mankind, spend some
time during this week in, not only
considering what can be done to di-
minish Sunday labor and business,
but ask Gods guidance and bless
ing upon those who are striving TO
secure a Rest Day for all, with its
Christian privileges.
The Wilmington Union feels that
there is local cause for rejoicing, as
the Postoffce clerks have been relicv-
ed of so much Sunday labor.

FAMILY OF FIVE
ON 5000 A YEAR
Bay State Expert Declares
That Amount is Sufficient
Wage
PUTS COST OF FOOD
UNDER $S WEEKLY

BOSTON, April 26.-Magnus Alex
ander former chairman of the State
Pension Commission, now a member
OF the Massachusetts Commission on
Workmens Compensation. made the
startling statement to the Twentieth
Century Club that the adult male can
decently support a family of five on
$500 yearly, and that if he cannot he
Is either ignorant or wasteful. He
further declared his belief that to
increase the wages Of workmen in
Massachusetts by 81 or 50 a week
would increase only their economic
Wastefulness. From his own inves-
legations and figures he was obliged
70 admit that the textile industries Of
Massachusetts paid adult males far
less than living wage, but il would
deal them a hard blow TO make them
pay more, he said, because of Southern
mill competition.
'On the matter of a living wage"
Mr.. Alexander said, the great mass
of the people talk withsa delightful
laXity of logic. The only way to ap-
proach the question is scientifically
and soberly. From my own investi-
cations, | venture to state that the
greatest cause for any poverty and
suffering that may exist among work
ing people is their absolute ignorance
of how to live and spend wisely.
There is the crux."
Among the claims made by Com
missioner Alexander are these:
A normal family of five can be sup
ported decently on $500 yearly.
II a man cannot support his family
ON this amount he is ignorant or
wastcful.
a normal family consists of faith
er, mother and three children under
il years.
Rent TO cost SO to IS weekly; light
and heat, 60 cents weekly.
Food to cost s4.25 to So weekly.
ignorance and wastefulness cause
of poverty. and not low wages.

The Problem of Taxes

their very eyes, are not yet
ready for Socialism" or any ap-
/ proaches in that direction.
AS to the other point that
mentioned, about our present tax
methods discouraging us from i'm
proving our homes and communities
that should be plain as day. I'm
provements are taken so high and
land is taken relatively so low, even
under our present statutes, that
man is actually discouraged and
penalized by law for putting i'm
proVements en- or about the land
that he owns He is taxed by law
for a school-house, or a bridge.
These public Improvements increase
the valuation of his land, so, be-
cause he is taxed for school-house
or bridge, he is therefore still
further taxed on the unearned
increment of his land. That is
the way taxes breed taxes.
Even though a man builds his
own house Sc doe his own fencing
does all tie work himself, the law
abiding assessor ''muIcts" him,
in the case before me chow is it
in your case?) more on the improve
ments tn t he has worked into the
lard than on the land itself 1t
actually charges him for working
on his ownland-for fencing it, and
for building shelter for his family
and his stock 1t practically fines
him or having been industrious.
Last spring when the assessor
came around, l was erecting a
house on my homestead-do the
work myself He said to me.
Il wish you'd hurry and get your
house done, so l could assess it
higher. Maybe he was joking a.
bout actually wishing it, but IN
der the present tax-law he would
have been obliged to do it, just
the same.
Such a system of taxation does
not need characterizing to an in
telligent audience.
Law ought to encourage industry,
(iustead of dampening it,. The
way to do this is to make the
axes light on the products of
BUR toll, and heavy on the means
by which society gives US an advan-
age over our fellows. The private
ownership OF land is such an advan-
age. So is the private (corporate) |
ownership of franchises The dis
,ussion has but begun.

Would be Hard ON Farmers.

Editor Index:
In regard to the single tax theory
that r. B. Wilson advocates in
your last issue, it is hard for me
to assure myself of any benefits
the single tax system would bring,
but / do not have to draw on my
imagination much to see plenty of
distress -ollowing its Inauguration.
Suppose two men working for wages
live here in Emmett One of them
applies his savings to the purchase
of lot and begins to lay by more
to build a home on it. His neigh
Dor puts all of his savings in cash,
conceals it, and escapes the payment
of taxes. The single tax system
then is introduced. The taxes
on the lot are more than its
owner can pay and he loses the
lot. His dishonest neighbor who
escapes paying taxes buys the lot
in and the savings of a honest man
are wiped out.
However, | argue more from the
standpoint of the farmer, and it is
the farmer who has by far the more
arguments to urge When you
shift the burden of taxation en-
tirely onto land you place most of
it upon the farmer because he owns
most of the land. A FARMER
