81 JAMES B. NEVTN

The Georgia Legislature has in
duIged itself this session in much talk
Of tax reform, but so far the reform
is not exactly in sight
What has heretofore prevailed by
way Of tax reform talk admittedly
has been magnificent. but it has not
been war!
Tax reform in the Kimball House
lobby and tax reform on the statute
books Of Georgia are two radically
different things-and It. really is tax
reform on the statute books that the
people Of Georgia generally seem most
to be hankerinR for.
Beginning to-day there remain
about four weeks OF Legislative time
In which tax reform may be achieved
Scant time. even II none Of it IL
lost II anything worth while gets
through II will have TO hustle, and
a good many things will have to get
out OF its way.
The Senate is not embarrassed in
this matter 80 much as the House
for the House must get its meas
ures out Of it's hands and in the hands
Of the Senate. or take the blame
for the failure to put tax reform over.
Both the Senate and the House in
spite Of themselves, have succeeded
in wasting much time this session.
This Is distinctly the fault Of the
Houses, moreover, and not OF the
presiding officers or the committee
chairmen.
The Senate and the House Contin-
ually throw away their time dehat
ing frivolous things such as wheth-
er the hall shall be permitted to thus
and so speaker, or whether a bill re-
ferred 10 one committee really was
not an affront 10 or reflection upon
some other committee.
There is not much time left in
which tax reform measures may be
put over. II they are put over both
Houses must dispose of the neces-
sary and important work now in
hand and as speedily az possible take
up the real big business OF the ses-
sion.

VIEWPOINTS
Onr American Schools.

Editor the Missourian:-At the last
report, Missouri University had pro-
duced no student who wished to take
the examinations for Rhodes Schol-
arship, emitting him to spend three
years in Oxford University.
At the same time We know from the
increase in our Graduate School that
there are many students here who are
striving for higher education. Then,
does it not mean that the students are
satisfied with the opportunities for
higher learning here, when they fail to
try for this great scholarship?
Of course there is another way to
look at the question. Maybe the stu
dents at the University do not take
the examinations because they fear
that they will fail in the examinations.
We do not think this is the reason,

ADVERTISE, HE SAYS
written for the MissOurian by ii. E.
BirdsOng of the Kansas CITY Starr

Sir Joseph Beecham of England,
world famous pill vender and manu-
facturer. was in Kansas City recently.
Mr. Beecham gives the advertising col
umns of newspapers credit for his
great success and large fortune.
Fifty years ago my father said,
newspaper advertising is the only
kind that pays" Sir Joseph said in an
interview at the Hotel Baltimore. Il
have never found cause to doubt his
statement and l believe l am the big
gest newspaper advertiser in the
world. During the last ten years
have spent a million pounds, not dol
lars mind you, in newspaper adver-
inent paper of Europe and America
and have had 10 full page ads run
ming simultaneously in as many pa
pers.
Il was the first man in England to
use full page ads. That was more
than thirty years ago. l have kept at
it since with consistence. | carry very
little advertising outside of the news
paper and consider what l do carry
of little value"
Sir Joseph re-lighted his briar pipe
and lolled back in the big rocker.
Why do l value the newspaper ad
above all others? Just because it
reaches the people. There isn't an
other medium that will pull the trade
as the newspaper does.
Here is a practical illustration OF
the selling power of the newspaper ad
There are no Sunday newspapers in
England. Nobody goes shopping in
London on Mondays. Monday is the
dullest business day of the week. Here
the women spend Sundays picking
bargains from the advertising columns
of the big papers and Monday they
spend money with the advertisers"
Sir Joseph is a member of the Lon.
don Chamber of Commerce which is
composed of 5000 prominent business
men of London, fifty members of Par,
lament being included. He is tour.
ing America for new ideas of business
success.
Two catch phrases, carried to the
homes of Europe and America in the
columns of the newspapers, are
largely responsible for his massive
fortune: "Beecham's Pills, worth {
guinea a box" and What are the
wild waves saying? Beecham's Pills.

THE WRITER'S CLUB.

In looking over the history of al
most any writer who is before the
public today we are likely to find
that his first literary efforts began
with his college paper. Many of
these, while not particularly shining
lights in their classes, even in Eng
lish, were famous in a small way for
their work in the college paper or
literary society.
The University of Missouri has a
Writers Club. 1t is to promote
purely creative effort, with no tram
mel of professors rules for worry
about grades to bother.
In such an organization surely he
who aspires to write at all will find
his best incentive.
The Writers Club of the University
of Missouri has been highly praised
for its work the last year. This year
it should be even better. If you
want to see some of your thoughts
or imaginings in print, join the
Writers Club.

men, until recently, have been only
lukewarm in road building because
they could not see the business ad-
vantage of improved highways. Hap
PLY they have heard the waking call,
"The farmers welfare is your own"
But how about the farmer himself?
He complains of high taxes. Ask
him what tax he pays to bad road.
Suppose he hauls a 1O00-pound load
six miles over a bad road. He can
get up as early as he likes, and if
he warns his toes in town, he will
put his team away by lantern that
night. Allowing him and his team
So for the days work land, mind
you, he would hardly work for that
the twelve miles have cost him so
cents per ton per mile. On macadam
roads, he could have made two one
ton trips. His hauling would cost
him 12H cents per ton per mile.
In short, the farmer pays 37H
cents a mile every time he hauls a
ton over it. And he gets nothing but
hard work and worry for his money
Suppose he is worth $4,000. If he
hauls fifty tons a year, he pays 2.25
cents on the dollar to mud, and the
road is worse for his hauling. What
would he say if the state levied an
additional road tax of 2.25 per cent
Yet he would have a good road in the
bargain.
A nations greatness depends upon
its roads Let the trans-continental
highway come, even though petty
politicians denounce the movement
as special legislation in favor of auto,
mobile owners. AS a nations roads
are, SO is the nation.

which, it would seem, is ample time
for their removal.
Next month large numbers of
visitors will come to Columbia for the
first time to see the Kansas game and
their estimate of the University will
not be improved by these unsightly
views Besides it is unfair to students
who room in the dormitory to expect
them to live under such conditions.
The policy of the University should
be to make their surroundings at
tractive instead of allowing the
grounds to be constructed with un-
slightly heaps of worn-out machinery.
May we not at least have the worst
of the rubbish removed before the
game with Kansas?

BUSINESS NOSES.

Customers of the Columbia mer-
chants, like customers everywhere,
are practical. Show them material
advantage in trading at home and
they will buy in Columbia. 1t is
useless to appeal to their sense OF
loyalty and duty when their pocket
books are concerned.
A system of rebates and calen-
dar of bargain days, such as are pro-
posed by the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation, will do more to encourage
home buying than a hundred years OF
harangue against mail-order houses

Those Unsightly Ruins.

Since Columbia is expecting large
number of visitors this fall, isn't it
about time to remove some of the rub
bish which has collected during the
summer months? This suggestion
should apply not only to the town
but to the University grounds as we'll
A great deal of trash has been allow
ed to accumulate especially in the
vicinity of the University power house
OF course repair work has been go
ing on there and some disorder must
of necessity follow, but the old boilers
which have been deposited in front oi
one of the dormitories, might at least
be removed Several months have
now elapsed since their displacement

PROTECTING OUR QUAIL.

The open season for quail has been
shortened by the new Missouri game
law to one month-December 1t is
a law all real sportsmen will COM
mend.
The new law has only set farther
in the future the time when there
must be no open season if the quail
are to be preserved. Because of the
quantity of insects and weed seeds
they eat, these birds have been de-
clared one of the best friends of the
farmer. The hunter could hardly
wish for better game bird For
eating they suit the taste of almost
everyone.
The state game and fish commits
sioner reports that the number OF
coveys of young quail in the state
this year is unusually large. This
makes the new law come at a good
time.
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and other
states waited too long in the matter
of protecting their quail. They can
still be plentiful in Missouri if pro-
perly protected.

A NATIONS ROADS.

A nations strength depends upon
the unity of its people. The unity of
a people depends upon their means
of communication, travel and COM
merce. The railroad, telegraph, tele-
phone and mail lend their share to a
nations unity, but in the last analy-
sis the country road is the backbone
of the commerce, travel and COM
munication of the world.
There is not a commercial trans
action, from a horse-trade to the
marketing of the worlds wheat crop,
which is not dependent directly or
indirectly upon the country road
The success of railways, telegraph
and telephone lines, factories, all
business, depends upon the country
road 1t is the tributary to all social
life and communication.
A bad road will isolate a neighbor-
hood. 1t will close any community
to commerce. 1t will depreciate land
values far more than a good road
would cost.
Farmers object to road building
because it increases taxes. Business

Ivy Ode.
Iitor the Missourian:-

Editor the Missourian:-
See the Ivy, deftly climbing,
Up the columns" up the walls:
Spreading out DER base and border,
Adding grace to face" and corner;
Creeping round, and up, and over,
Where e'er Old Natures instinct calls.
How the leaflets catch the sunbeams,
That athwart each building" falls:
Turning glaring, shining simmer,
Into welcome glints of splendor;
A scenic greeting, kindly tender,
On our way to Alma Matters halls.
Twining round the grand old columns,
Up their massive form it crawls:
Enveloping their Grecian figure,
With sweet tints of verdant vigor;
Striving to hide the GREAT FIRE S
rigor,
AS well as the Freshmans foolish
scralls.
When in future We may view it,
Where its tufts on high installs:
When from capitol and cornice swing
ing,
'Tis seen by many tendrils clinging;
How twill set our blood 'tingling
By the sacred memories it recalls.

or inversely, as the distance from the

large classes a great deal easier by

however, because there are many who
keep going higher in their studies and
are so well prepared that it would
be folly for them to fear preparatory
examinations to any institution.
The other answer is the correct one
from our point of view. The standard
of our educational system nears the
ideal of the American student. We
have the facilities and opportunities
at home, so why should we cross the

He Opposes the Modern STYLES.

Editor the Missourian:-I was in
terested in a recent Viewpoint in
which the writer said that the styles
of women are now more sensible than
those of men. The present skirts,
glove fitting, drawn in and slashed up
the side, affording rather more than
a glimpse of hosiery and underskirt,
even if they are sensible, are not prac-
tical. 1t is exceedingly interesting to
watch the girls in these close skirts
attempt to make an s o'clock. The
reckless display of ankles is the re-
suit of their haste. If girls could
see themselves as men see them, they
would discard some of these gowns
that SAVIOR CT the caricature, as well
as the immodest. We will take the
bows off of the back of our hats, if
the girls will sew up the Sits in their
skirts. MERE MAN.
