THE DECAY OF BRITAIN.
The Empire 10 Doing Very Well De-
spite the Prophets.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Among the combatants engaged
in the battle of wits over the present
European conflict will occasionally be
found individuals who assert that the
British Empire is becoming decadent-
is. in fact, already on the down grade.
For many years has this warning cry
land sometimes earnest wish been
raised. Even such friendly critic as
Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his English l
Traits" (1847), wrote: III we VIII
visit London, the present time is the
hest time, as some signs portend that
il has reached it's highest point. III
is observed that the English interest
us a little less within few years, ana
hence the impression that the British
power has eliminated, is in solstlce' or
already declining"
A few years later 1889 DR.. Rein
hold PAUL.. German historical writer.
IN his work. pictures of Old England,
writing of London in the Middle Ages,
concludes that "its reputation, magni-
tude and influence in regard to the rest
of the world have, of necessity, IN
creased with the Importance of the en-
pire. and who can say when this IN
crease Will nave ItdNnNh iNo ihoA
height? Prophecies have indeed been
rife for more than two hundred years
that the summit of its power has been
attained. and that a retrogression from
its high position is inevitable; but how
long will such prophecies continue to
be equally far from their fulflment?"
Let US now come back to our own
times and read what a German writer
named Wilhelm Brand has to say upon
the subject in "The Westminster Re-
view" for August, 1911: "The greatest
empire the world has ever seen. The
largest industry, the biggest COM
merce still going up by leaps and
bounds the most powerful navy, the
mercantile feet immense, and all pro-
tected by nature, by an impenetrable
silver streak; that is the land of the
British. Art and science are progress
ing steadily; wealth and general well
fare increasing"
In refutation Of the decadence boyle
let us consider some facts-commercial
facts, IL you please; let US take the
figures for a period of several years

HARDWOOD FLOOR WILL Be
INSTALLED At COLOSSEUM
ROLLER SKATING ON CEMENT
FLOOR WILL BE CONTINUED
FOR TIME, HOWEVER.

Manager Harry L. King Of the Col
osseum announced today that new
hardwood floor will be installed in tho
big amusement place at once. The
floor will be built in sections, l6 by
feet and will be Of maple. Work was
started today i'm the g. 4 II. shops on
this Improvement, and it is planned to
have it complete and ready for install
lation in about ten days.
As the floor will not be laid at the
Colosseum until all of the sections are
complete, roller skating will continue
on the cement noor until that time.
The big rink will he open for skating
tonight, Wednesday and Saturday
evenings OF this week.
The principal objection TO the ce-
ment floor is the fact that considerable
dust is raised by the skaters. Since the
roller skating season opened one week
ago tonight, the popularity Of the sport
has been attested 10 by the splendid
crowds and the management Of the
rink feels that the installation Of the
new hardwood floor will contribute
greatly 90 the enjoyment of patrons.
Work will be pushed vigorously until
il is completed.

ACT ON BUDGET
OF 1915 TAXES


For the first time since 1906, Calumet
township will consider the advisabilty
OF raising taxes for the townships
general fund at the regular meeting
10 be held on Thursday afternoon.
when the 1915 tax budget comes up for
consideration.
Since the year above mentioned. CAL
umet township has raised no taxes for
general purposes. the only receipts be-
ing the liquor tax collections and the
amount saved by the township due to
the fact the treasurer is paid stipu-
lated amount each year instead of be-
ing paid under the old fee system. Re-
ceipts from these sources amount to
approximately s5,400.
out of this must be paid i'm addi-
tion To the salaries OF township Off
GERS, rentals and incidental expenses,
the cost OF elections. etc. an annual
expenditure of from $4,000 to $4,000.
This year election expenses alone will
amount To close To $4,000, and il is ap-
parent the remaining funds will be in
adequate to meet all the demands upon
them
The general fund now has an indebt-
edness To the highway Improvement
fund amounting to $4,000 and II this
is To be wiped out, provision must be
made to raise additional money for the
general fund.
1t is proposed that the township
levy $4,000 taxes for general fund pur-
poses, this being the maximum allow
ed by law.
Items on the township tax budget |
which undoubtedly will meet with ap- |
proval are as follows:
Road repair fund E. .......S 6,l3l.41 |
Improvement fund 15,036.96 !
School District No. / ...... 16.71700 !
