The Woman Who Tolls.

One truly extraordinary truth is de.
veloping in the Chicago investigation
into the conditions Of working girls In
that city.
The figuring which is being done as
a method Of getting al the facts is ap.
parently considered by both State Of
ficials and merchants solely on the
basis How much can a working girl
live on2
Is that the test In fixing the wages
Of menY Isn't man paid, rather,
upon the basis Of what he is worth, Of
what his earning capacity isY
And are women peculiar species,
that 1t should be considered sufficient
To "pay them enough TO live on?
The fact is that enough to live or"
never is enough to live on. The ex.
perts In Chicago, for example, offer
figures showing that In the course Of
a week a girl will spend so many cents
for car fare, so many for lunches, so
many for clothing, etc. But how ob.
vious 1t Is that this sort Of figuring Is
hideously misleading and inexact.

idleness, necessitated by sicknessY

HIS AMBITION

Little Freddie having reached the
mature age of three, and being about
to discard petticoats for manly raj
ment in the form of knickerbockers,
his mother determined upon making
the occasion a memorable one, and
the breakfast-table was laden with
good fare as the new-breeched infant
was led into the room.
"Ah," cried the proud mother,
now you are a little man"
The fledgling was in ecstasies. Dis
playing his garments to their full adj
vantage, he edged closer to his
mother and whispered:
'"Mummie, can | call pa Bill now"

Inc rage Tor taX-QOQSlnS mas
struck the fashionable colony of Lake
Forest.
Forty residents of the million
aire'se village" are up in arms and
threaten to pack up and move.
And all because there has finally
crept on the Board of Review of Lake
County one assessor who has the
nerve to ask the millionaires to pay
their proper taxes.
The man is Thomas Appleton, as
SCISSOR of Shields township, in which
Lake Forest lies.
Appleton is well known to the mil
Gonaires. They managed to defeat
him several times in his race for vari-
Gus political offices.
But recently the other people of
the little township, who weren't in
terested in tango teas and horse
shows, who didn't have several auto
mobiles or several acres of ground,
woke up to the fact that for the little
cottages they owned they were forced
to pay almost as much as the men
with all the land.
And then they began to listen to
Appleton. They realized why the mil
ionaires were using their money to
keep him out of Office. Then the
people showed their strength. Apple
ton was elected assessor
AS the McCormicks, the Armours,
the Swifts, the Prizes and all the 9TH
ers feared, Appleton Immediately got
busy.
The assessor went through all the
tax lists. Then, quite calmly, he be-
gan to adjust. And his adjusting
meant that the big people were or
dered to pay many thousands of dol
lars more in taxes.
Their howl went up. Appleton was
jumped on. He was accused of dis
eliminating against several of the
millionaires in order to incur favor in
the eyes of the poor residents of Lake

move out of the little place if some
thing isn't done. Appleton says they'll
have to move out if something isn't
done.
They held meeting behind closed
doors at the Hotel LaSalle. Three
other members of the Lake County
Board of Review were there. They
hurried back to Lake Forest with in
structions to curb Appleton. But the
new assessor is keeping right on.
Edward Putnam, one of the col
lectors, says it would be terrible
thing if Lake Forest lost all its nice
silk-stocking residents. He believes
it would be to the advantage of the
people out there to allow the mil
ionaires to come in at reduced rates
rather than lose them for good.

fight against Appleton are: John V.

OF court judgments upon Samuel
Gompers, Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell, president, vice president and
secretary, respectively, of the Amer.

tanned by the court of appeals for the
District of Columbia. The court re.
vised the former sentences, giving
Gompers thirty days Imprisonment
and fining Mitchell and Morrison $500
each with no jail term.
The chief justice of the court, dis
senting, held that the entire judg-
ment should be reversed. The lower
court gave Gompers one year, Mitch
ell nine months and Morrison six
months without option of fine. All
were convicted of violating court in
Junction in the noted Bucks Stove
and Range case.
Defendants Will Appeal.
An appeal from the decision will
be taken to the supreme court OF the
United States if attorneys fer the la.
Dor leaders can find ground upon
which to ask the highest court to re-
view the judgment
On a previous appeal to the su.
rreme court the judgment was ef
fectually dismissed and the contempt

again.
In the previous action the decision
of the court below holding the men

Dissenting Opinion Gives Chance.
The dissenting orinion of the chief
Justice probably will present one ave-

The case has been a hard-fought
