bA 7 TIE ON
To IMPROVE
STATE TAX
SYSTEM
Problem Of Supplying Additional
Revenue Without Raising Rate
Looms Above All Others.

The new Legislature will make the
matter flax reform the paramount
business OF the session that opened
Wednesday.
With all preliminary fights out Of
the way and both branches compact
ly organized, the members already
have turned their minds TO the leg
islative business ahead, and far big
ger than any other question confront
ing the General Assembly looms the
problem OF supplying the State with
absolutely necessary additional reve-
nue.. without, at the same time, put
ting up the rate Of taxation.
Many of the brightest, most con-
sructive end statesmanlllke minds in
the new Legislature are considering
this matter exhaustiveIy, and 1t win
be given the right Of way over every
thing else
Two Measures introduced.
Already two measures looking to
more revenue-Mr. Coles inheritance
tax bill and Mr. Lipscomb's board Of
tax equalization bill-have been in
troduced In the House, and others will
follow rapidly.
Tax reform, beyond the shadow OF
a doubt, is to be the big Legislative
issue OF the present session.
Completely and harmoniously or
ganized In both branches, the Georgia
Legislature for 1894 met Thursday
morning ready for such business as
might come before it.
The various committee assignments
will not be announced before next
week, as the framing of them is per-

OUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST.

We commend to the attention of our
readers the subscription contest which
starts with this issue of The Irish
Standard.
The purpose of the contest is to get
The Irish Standard into every Cath
olic home in the Northwest. The cost
of the contest to us, as may easily be
determined by the value Of the prizes
we are Offering, will be very great
But our confidence in the paper and
the appeal it will make wherever read
leads us to believe that every new sub
scription will mean an added perman-
ent reader. We believe, therefore
that in the end the initial expense
will be valuable investment. BY
gaining new readers for the paper we
hope to continue to improve it until

Position and wealth do not bring
happiness. But the world will not
cease to be deluded into the idea that
they do. T. P. O'Connor puts this
thought in a striking manner in re-
cent article in the Chicago Tribune
He says: There is a saying that the
two happiest days in a minister's life
are the first day when he takes office
and the first day after he has left
these facts are the cause of that lit
tie outburst of longing for release that
Mr.. Asquith may have uttered amid a
group of friends around dinner table
and it is sufficient explanation. 1t all
proves the truth known to every stu
dent of life that often the greatness
of this worlds chief figures is but
gilded misery.

THE WALKING PROPAGANDA.

Edward Payson Weston, the veteran
walker, who walked into Minneapolis
from New York last Saturday, a dis
lance of 1000 miles, was met by what
was without doubt the largest crowd
that ever greeted the entrance of a
man into the city. What was it that
made his entrance such notable
event in the history Of Minneapolis?
The first important thing was the
advertising that the veteran hiker got,
The second was the extraordinary
fact that man at the age of seventy
five was able to make that great dis
lance in sixty days on foot.
The advertising will make the walk
ing fad popular for while People
will begin to walk long distances and
tell how fine it makes them feel. Then
suddenly they will lose interest and
there will be nothing more about it
until some other such event takes
place.
Walking is undoubtedly healthful
exercise and people would be better
Off If they did more OF it. There
would be less automobile fatalities if
there were more Westons. The exer-
else Is to be encouraged. But let us
not all think that we can become
Westons any more than we can be-
come Ciceros or Caesars. The old
saying that poets are born, not made,
might be stretched to take in walkers.
If Weston's wonderful endurance is
to teach anything, it should teach the
value of constant outdoor exercise.
The office man, especially. who is con-
fined to his chair all day, could profit
by the lesson. Not that he should
undertake any extraordinary walks,
but let him see the value of regular
exercise in the open.

SIMPLICITY AND ELoouENcE.

The simplest language is the most
eloquent and the most enduring. Fine
phrasing appeals only to the ear, If ii
appeals at all. The effect of fine
phrasing Is to becloud the message.
Simple language is an indication of
honesty on the part Of the writer or
speaker. The use of the plainest
words and phrases shows that the
speaker or writer has message and
that his desire is to convey it to his
auditors or readers.
Strained effort at lofty style be-
speaks intellectual vanity just as an
effort to follow the latest dictaes of
fashion bespeaks vanity in dress.
Language should be so suited to the
thought that the reader will be SO inn
pressed with the thought as not to
notice the manner of expression. A
grandiloquent style places the writer
who has real message at a disad-
vantage, because the readers atten-
ton will be drawn to the manner of
expression. The best writer's are
those who express big thoughts in
little words.
The Bible is the standard example
Of plain writing. In this great Book,

self. the greatest thoughts of the ages
are expressed in language that the
least educated may grasp. The great
facts Of the Birth, Death and Resur-
rection of Christ are told in the SIM
plest words. No effort is made to en-
phasize the greatness of the event
described. Superlatives are hardly
ever used. The aim of the writer's was
to tell what took place so that all who
read might understand. And what
other use has language than to con-
vey thought?
If the Bible had no other use than
to teach people how to speak and write
it would still be valuable book, prob.
ably the most valuable that we pos

THE PEOPLE VS.. THE PEERS.

The arrogant speeches of Lord
Lansdowne and Lord Curzon in the
House of Lords on the occasion of the
debate on the Home Rule bill is re-
sulting in lineup of the people on
one side against the Peers on the
other. With imperiousness that could
hardly be justified II the upper House
had the power it ONCE possessed, but
Which it no longer possesses, these
two men flung taunts at the idea of
giving Home Rule to Ireland. The
English people now realize better than
ever before that the policies of the
English Liberals as we'll as of the
Irish party are imperilled by the in
solent claims. The result has been a
decided impulse to the campaign
against any further liberation of the
insolence of the crippled upper cham
Der.
Lloyd-George, in q. speech that rang
through the country told ten thousand
people at Carnavon last week that the
time had come for the people to as

needed to bring decision out of a
state of discomfort.
The issue now is not merely Home
Rule for Ireland, but contest be-
tween the people Of England and Ire
land against the aristocratic upper
House. The forces of the two coun-
tries are united against the insolence
and oppression Of Sthe men who have

HIGH COST OF EDUCATION,

The cost of education in the public
schools of Minneapolis has advanced
77.3 per cent in nine years according
to statements published concerning
the annual report OF DIR. c. M. Jordan,
superintendent. In the school year
1923, according to the statement, the
average cost per pupil per year in the
high schools was $3S.42. In 1s11-12
the average cost had risen to $685..
which means an increase of 45.6 per
cent. In the elementary schools the
cost in 1923 was 1889. In 1s11-12
1t had risen. to 1886, an advance of
S1.4 per cent. The average cost per
pupil in 1923 was SPOTS. In 1s11-12
it was $36.79. or had advanced by 77.s
per cent.
The reason for the advance is at
tributed by school officials to various
causes, chief among which is the
wages Of teachers and other employees
of the board. The wages in that time,
the president of the board estimates,
have increased SO per cent.
Another reason given is the diminu-
ton in the size Of classes. In four or
nve years the size Of the classes in
the grade schools, according to
sistant Superintendent B. b. Jackson
has been reduced from forty-three ia
thirty-eight pupils. In the same time
the classes In the high schools have
been decreased in size from thirty tc
twenty-five. This has necessitated
the hiring of many more teachers, and
is only another way Of saying that the
expense Of education has risen on &C.
count of the increased amount paid tc
teachers in salaries.
Finally. there Is the fact Of the in.
novation of many new branches Of
study. The courses in manual train.
ing have been extended. courses in
cooking, sewing, clay modelling, draw.
ing and music have either been shad.
ed or greatly extended In that time
