moderate means. The law as appned
in the past has been the practical
confiscation of the income of small
property owners and those in receipt
of small incomes.
Up to the present time this system
of taxation has never resulted in the
confscation of the property or in
come of any wealthy corporation or
individual, but no complaint has been
publicly voiced against this system, at
least seriously, until the. past year
when began to initiate the enforce
ment of these revenue laws against
all alike.
In seeking this enforcement my
first step has been to declare for the
enforcement and to carry out the
idea of collecting by suits, or other
wise, the taxes against large delln-
quents and taxdodgers first. There
are over forty thousand delinquent
taxdodgers in Cook county. No suit
has yet been begun for delinquent
taxes under twenty dollars. The spe-
cial pleader for privilege who
penned this editorial would safeguard
prominent individuals from black
mail or punishment by business or
political enemies.
For twenty years past numerous
attorneys and politicians in Chicago
working in conjunction with the as
sistance of the employees of the coun-
ty attorney have so used the same
revenue laws without newspaper
complaint. The Office of the county
attorney has been the home of graft
and it's record reeks with graft.
Within the past ten days one of my
assistants who was seeking to col
lect just taxes from delinquents re-
ceived a check to his order for one
half the legal taxes, with another
check payable to his order for TWEEN

HOYNE'S REPLY TO AN AMERICAN EDITORIAL
OTHER PAPERS TURNED IT DOWN

newspapers a statement on Thursday
in which he took a fall out of
Hearst's American because of an edi-
torial jumping on the tax system.
None of the trust papers printed the
statement. Then he gave it to The
Day Book and The Day Book here
gives it to the public just as Mr..
HOyne gave it out:
There was an editorial in an even
ing paper of yesterday on the sub
ject of Sane, Just Taxation" It is
said that the present system of tax
alton is unfair, unavoidable and it
is not applied" and that if the taxes
were literally and universally ap-
piled it would mean practical confis-
cation of income. 1t is urged that
laws ostensibly for the benefit of the
public should under no circumstances
be used as agents of oppression,
blackmail or personal punishment.
1t is said that the present tax laws
might be used for the purpose of
blackmailing prominent individuals,
and that they might be utilized by a
dishonest or hostile newspaper in the
punishment of business or political
enemy. This matter is said to be
very serious as it has been neglected
too long and should be neglected no
longer.
The Board Of Review at the pres
ent time is presided over by Roy o.
West, who has been the. dominating
genius of the board for many years.
This editorial contains in substance
the special pleas for privilege and
other defenses which he has uttered
publicly and at meetings of the Board
of Review during his incumbency of
that Office. The editorial reads as
though it was written by him, Julius
Rosenwald, some taxdodger or an i'm
ported editorial writer who never
read the review laws of Illinois.
AS a matter of fact, the present
system of taxation in Illinois has

the Montmartre with it's curious cafes
conducted solely to lure pleasure-seek-
ing Americans, but that district around
the Luxembourg, along the boulevard
Mont Parnasse and the boulevard ST
Michel, peopled almost altogether by
struggling art students.
ITO the casual observer the bohe-
milan life in this section of the French
capital is gay. and care-free. but con-
cealed from view is another phase OF
Iife-one of hard work, of hope, OF as
pirations and often of pinching poverty
and cruel self-denial. Only one thor

The Social Evil.

The social evil about which you read
and hear SO much is the custom of buy
ing presents for people. Zeb Simpkins
and Mrs Zeb Simpkins achieve the 18th
anniversary of their excursion to the
marriage halter, and decide to perpetrate
a little celebration in honor of the event
No sooner have the invitations gone forth
than some cheerful idiot gets busy with
subscription paper and handles suffi-
cient funds from prospective guests to
buy a fine present The invited ones feel
it would be a violation of social ethics
to go empty-handed into the presence of
their hosts, SO the Racket store and bar
gain counters do a land-office business
in those lines of junk which are consid-
cred suitable for gifts. Children four
years old and over are seldom allowed to
attend the birthday party of little
friend without a previous visit to the five
and ten cent counter of some business
house. with the result that their ideas
and social ideals get started off on
tangent which leads entirely away from
correct and wholesome views of social
proprieties. In short, we have become so
hog wild on the subject of gifts that one
half the population is afraid to ask its
friends in for an evening for fear an un-
selfish effort will degenerate into dona-

us to believe it has kept its promise.
He states the proposition as If it We're

be no controversy; and his proof--if
he thought it desirable to offer proof

are a little tired of SO much talk and
SO much action with so much injury

high moral purposes and undoubted
earnestness cannot induce us TO be-
lieve that black is white because he
says it is.
The Democratic administration is
going to be judged finally by the re-

the President would have 1t, by the
fact that he has been successful in
having certain legislation passed. II
it is good legislation-and that has
certainly yet to be proven-he will

Campaign Against Cancer.

campaign against cancer has been
inaugurated
The American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer is cooperating with
the Twentieth Century Club and the
| Pittsburgh Academy of Medicine in
arranging a great public educational
meeting on cancer, to be held in the
Soldiers Memorial hall, Pittsburgh, on
Tuesday evening, February 8, 1914.
And here are some points to con-
slider:
Cancer is of greater frequency in
ADULT life than tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, typhoid fever, or digestive dis
eases.
In 1913 there were about $4,000 deaths
from this disease in the United States.
One person in eleven at ages forty
and over dies of cancer.
One woman in eight and one man
in fourteen at this period of life is
attacked by the disease with fatal re-
suits.
Largely because of public ignorance
and negligence this terrible scourge
now proves fatal in over ninety per
cent. of the attacks.
OF the $1,000 deaths from this dis
ease in the United States in 1918 about
10000 were deaths from cancer of the
stomach and liver, $4,000 from cancer
of the uterus and other organs of gen.
Grafton, 1900 from cancer of the breast
and about $4,000 from cancer of other
organs and parts.
Cancer respects neither race, creed
nor social position.
1t is the common enemy of all man
kind, attacking rich and poor alike.
1t comes at the most useful period
of life, at the age when the care and
guidance of children and business re-
sponsibilities make the mother and
father most useful to society.
Cancer is at first invariably To-
cal disease.
IT'S EASILY CURED when recog-
nized and removed by competent sur
gerry early IN its course.
1t is practically always incurable in
it's later stages.
Delay in thorough examination and
prompt operation if the disease be
present is not merely dangerous-it
is fatal.
