THERE is man living here
who is striving to get enough
money to fulfill an ambition.
He has worked hard all his life,
and has never taken vacation
because his vacation is really his
ambition.
This man has heard of certain
hotel in Paris where he can live for
about 10 francs a day. Ten francs
are about 81.
Two dollars a day for one year,
amount to $3.50. In order to get
$3.50 per annum as interest on CAPT
tai, he must have $4,000 at 5 per
cent.
But he needs more than this, for
he has got to provide for clothing.
laundry and the smaller incidentals.
So he puts his total at the lowest
figure possible, $4,000, or $500 per
year; or, $500 francs per year.
This is a lovely plan, and if the
man lives, he will carry it out.
But
He is overlooking a great and i'm
portant fact
This will not establish the cost
of living for him, because he has
actually made no plan at all for liv-
ing. He has planned only for food,
clothing and a place to sleep.
A man who moves to Paris to
live the rest of his life on his in
come, takes with him more than his
body.
His mind goes along with him.
He has not provided anything for
that part of him.
Its needs are real, and must not
be overlooked.
IL
II ENCE, there is another side to
L the cost of living, side sepa-
rate and distinct from the question
of existing 1t is existing
food, shelter and clothes, that being
the brunt of the burden. Real liv-
ing, that is, having something for
which to live, is one of the most
inexpensive things Of this merry
life.
Contentment is a better invest
ment than fun. And for this rea-
son: contentment, like true love, is
lasting, but fun may leave you with
a blank mind in ten minutes.
1t is fun that helps push up the
cost Of living. Contentment. based
on reason, keeps it down and leaves
YOU plenty of time to do your part
in figuring out how the country
should be run so as to give every
man a chance.
All this leads up to the question
Of taxes
No man likes to pay taxes. 1t

The Real COntentment
BY THOMAS TAPER.

: seems to be the nearest thing 10
something for nothing in this life
So many man will dodge his taxes
if he can learn to dodge.
But there are taxes and taxes.
Most municipalities are easy
compared with the tax demand Of
Desire, Temptation, Habit & Co.
For example:
In 1905 the census bureau issued
a diagram showing the taxes we
pay ON OUR OWN PROSPERITY
Nobody demands these taxes. We
simply break our necks, climbing
over each other in our eagerness 10
put our money down before the tax
collector.
Here are the taxes OF seven wears
ago. They are higher now:
Liquors beer and ale) $275, 900, 900
Tobacco (chewing and
SA1ohIhe) .. .. 125, 600. 900
Tobacco cigars and
clgarettes).. q. e.. .. 225,0OO 900
Liquors (hard drinks. j.. 5000, 900
oahoy ''.'. ..... 49,. 80,OOO,OO0
lotaI'. .. o.. =. 1885, 100000
The total of these few tempta-
tons alone is 1885, 100000.
II we were living, as nation,
as the man who is going to Paris
proposes to live-that is on income
it would require 27,5OO, 900, 900 in
government bonds at three per cent
to pay the above bill alone.
Yes, your conclusion is right.
That is lot of money. And it is
all fun. There is no particular con-
tentment about it. Particularly
when we add the above $685., 100000
to the cost of living.
III
NOW, every one Of US is more or
less like the gentleman who is
going to Paris. We lock forward
TO a good vacation in the future
when there will be no work. But
we differ from him in this: He is
actually making it himself Most
OF us are hoping for it.
Take just little cash out of hand
today and put it by for twenty
years hence.
Don't plan on living in Paris. or
anywhere else; plan on living.
Living means an interest in life.
which is way ahead of shelter, food
and clothing.
Living means finding out every
day something, or somebody, to live
for and also finding happiness in
that living. There are no taxes on
this that man can not pay gladly.
The cost Of living is high when
We are no better off at night in
mind, hope, interest and content
ment than we We're in the morning.
And that happens when the days
taxes have been high.
