Now and then you see a young
lady and a young man out together;
the young lady is not refusing any
thing that her escort offers to pur-
chase. She allows him to spend
his money, not thinking or consid-
ering the fact that he may not be
able to stand it, but is denying him
self to give her pleasure. This is
the kind of girl that causes SEN
sible boy to hesitate in the matter
of taking a helpmate. No young

to see that this would be very
dangerous condition of affairs. In
fact any way way you look at the
single tax proposition it presents
itself an impracticable and dagger
Gus system. The safe and sane
thing to do is to vote no" on the
single tax amendment. In discuss
! ing the single tax don't lose sight
of the fact that the proposed am end
ment repeats all constitutional and
statute tax limitations. If these
amendments carry there is no limit
to the taxes the tax commission
may levy. And with more than
one-half of the voters nonpayers it
is easy to see how taxes would soar
sky high. It's a plain problem in
mathematics, The dividend is the
amount of taxes required, the divis-
on is the kinds of property that are
assessed for tax purpose, the quoti-
ent is the tax rate If you reduce
the divisor by striking out personal
property. you will raise the quotient
the tax rate. You can't get away
from it, hence tho proposed single
tax amendment repeats all the tax
limitations and safeguards and
makes the only limit the blue
heavens above. -Centralia Courier.
