ORGANIZING. THE LADIES
Women of the u. G. T. Can Organize
I'm Several Ways and Do
Much Good.

Some councils of the U. G. T. of A.
have failed to interest the ladies in an
associate organization to the subord-
mate council, because the only form of
organization conceived of is a ladies'
auxiliary with perhaps a ceremony of
nltlatlon. However much. men may
indulge in and enjoy such things, there
are very few ladies who care for such
ceremonies. The u. c.. T. does not have
a recognized ritual for ladies, although
some have been written and used.
1t is found hat by far the most pop
ular and successful organization
among U. c. T. ladies is a simple form
or association, or club, with a presi-
dent, a secretary, a treasurer n an
executive committee of four. Such or
CARNATIONS are sometimes known as
auxilaries, but they are about as often
called the u. C. T. Women's club, Ladies
of the u. c. T., Ladies' Social club,
Women's Club of the u. C. T., or some
such appropriate designation.
The women organize for charitable
and philanthropic work and devote
themselves especially to maintaining
the social features of the council.
Sometimes they have literary pro-
grammes at their meetings n some-
times not.
The only authority needed to organ
ize the ladies of a subordinate council
is the sanction of the senior couselor
or the executive committee of the
council.

FOR ROADS Plan
The Tax on Tobacco Would Build
National Roads in Every
State.

Hon. stanton Warburton told in his
address at the recent Federal Aid con
vention how he would raise the mon
eys necessary to construct, at govern
ment expense, a system Of good roads
connecting all state capitals:
az propose" he said. ito raise this
fund by an increase of the internal
evenue tax on tobacco. I have fire.
duently been asked why do I propose
that? i do it simply because, whether
you build the roads or not, the tax
ought to be re-instated. The tobacco
tax is the lowest tax assessed on any
luxury in the United States of Amer
lea or the world at large. There is no
other luxury in the United States or
the civilized countries that / know Of
that bears 81 low a tax. will give
you the history of it. The tax On to-
hacco at the close of the val was from
$50 to $40 a thousand on cigars, vary
ing according to the value of the Gig
ars. The tax On smoking and chewing
tobacco was, / think, either "a or 80
cents. possibly So cents a pound. Now,
as a matter of fact, compared with the
tax on other luxuries in other civilized
countries, that tax was awfully low,
not a third as much as 1t should be-
1t is not a third of the tax in n civ
ilized country in Europe on tobacco.
TN 1873 we had a surplus. Dur in
come was a great deal larger than our
expenditures. So 1t was necessary to
