The girls of Chicago who organized
a club, whose members are pledged to
marry no man with an income of less
than $4,000 per year, evoked retort
in kind from a subsequently formed
club of young men, pledged that in
cases where girl has been brought
up to need that income, the parents,
responsible for that sort of training
shall be called upon to furnish the
income. Sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander. But the probability is
that when Cupid takes hand club
pledges have no more force thar
tricky pledges have in congress.

Separate Assessment.
"As a means to this end we favor
the separate assessment OF land
values and improvements. and an eff
oient publicity OF assessments.
Insuificiency os Other Methods.
Under the present unjust system
Of taxation the ultimate consumer pays
all taxes. The merchant and manu-
/ facturer shift their taxes by adding
them 70 the price of the commodities
they sell. and the landlord adds his
onto his rent The present system
leads TO political Juggling. fraud and
injustice and discourages industry.
Land Value Taxes.
The official figures OF the commits
sioners Of taxes md assessments in
New York city during the past four
years show that land values have in
creased at the rate Of $3.50 000. 900
per year: and in Cleveland. O.. at
the rate Of sl.777,O0O per year. or az
the rate Of $1,000 per capital: and so
on in every city where through the
medium OF the separate assessment
the land has been accurately valued.
Every babe that is born adds this
value 10 the land Every immigrant
adds value 10 the land. He produces
wealth by his coming and then is
charged an annul rent for that which
he himself has produced, the wealth
that the worker creates is given to
another. who In turn levios tribute in
the form Of land rent from him who
produced It. The city is a wealth pro-
ducer on a large scale. Is It not OBJ
vious that hero is a source of reve-
nue far in excess OF the needs Of any

"Until such time as the city is able

Local Option in Taxation.

tenn above Outlined. we favor local

dislike Of the citizen to ally himself definitely with
any party, and by the rise ana fall of new parties
every few years. The action OF the legislature of
Pennsylvania at its last session providing for the
nomination and election of the judiciary on a non
partisan basis, and also in enacting a law putting all
third class cities under the commission form OF gov
eminent and requiring the councilmen to be selected
by a nonpartisan ballot, clearly shows the trend OF
the times. Such a management would have been
inconceivable ffty.seven years ago.
1t is only when one compares the past with the
present, looking carefully into the changes that have
occurred, that he begins to realize how amazing has
been the c%ountry's progress since the day Buchanan
was elected. And this change has not been confined
to our country. Everywhere truth has been advanc-
ing and it is a new world, and a far better one, we
are living in today.

of the season, an entire change OF
program Of attractions will be pre-
sented. The photo plays depicted on
the screen will be the offerings of the
Mutual company, and consist of 5000
feet of animated cen Of drama,
comedy and daily events of the world.
The offerings Of the Mutual com,
pany will be offered at the Grand for
the first time in the west and will
be a great improvement over any 9TH

amusement seekers. With this grea,
change of motion picture service and
these leading p~hotoplays, offered in a
strictly modern theater, which Is not
surpassed this side Of Chicago, this
new show house bids fair to be pack
ed to capacity for the balance Of the
season.

strong programs during the week

A Pure Textile LQW

The needs of a pure textile law to prevent the
counterfeiting of woolens, silks and linens and for
the protection of the public, will be urged by tbs
True Textile league from headquarters in Chicago,
authorizations in fabrics, particularly silks, having
reached an acute stage. 1t is the poor man, who
cannot pay a large price for a suit of clothes, who
suffers the most from the shoddy woolens, it is said.
and in the case of silks, the loser is the housewife
who pays a good price, hoping to get a silk dress
equal in durability and weight to those which were
made years ago. Retailers everywhere complain OF
the substitutions and frauds by which their customers
suffer, and a bill now pending in congress proposes
for textiles the same security that the pure food law
has given to foods. 1t is to have critical scrutiny
with a view to it's endorsement or amendment. "A
check must De put upon the methods which prevail!
in the textile trade and by which the consumer suf-
fers," said a representative 0 fthe new organization.
Heretofore, there has been nothing done in the mat
ter, because of the unwillingness Of manufacturers to
attempt to reform trade conditions. BY tacit consent,
the substitutions have gone OF, the public has been
mulced for many millions every year, and none but
the manufacturers of shoddes and loaded silks have
benefited. The pure food law has shown food manu-
facturers that honesty is the best policy, and tae
same is true in regard to textiles and the clothing
into which they 60. A pure textile bill should be
passed by congress and would effect a saving to the
public, particularly the wage-earners, of millions in
the aggregate, in money, and actual suffering besides.
Many a man who needs the warmth of wool buys a
suit of clothes which he thinks is wool until he is
out in a soaking rain. Quite abruptly he is unde-
ceived. That wool there is in the threads is on the
outside and soon is washed off. Many a widow owes
her bereavement to this very fact, and money values
of a law requiring frank and honest labelling of tex
tiles would be but the smallest factor"
That splendid social uplifter, Boies Penrose. seems
to have triumphed again in Pennsylvania.
