WHEN BIG BUSINESS
IS AN ASS

Our neighbor, the Sun, upon
whom We are accustomed to rely
for a correct Interpretation of the
political sentiment of Wall Street,
bitterly complains that
"The business world feels itself
fettered by the general attitude of
political hostility to the higher
mechanism of business, a hostility
of which the president is the
principal exponent"
II the Morganized finance which
resulted in the Cla1in failure repre-
sents "the higher mechanism of
business" we have no doubt that
theel resident is hostile to it.
If the almost incredible financial
knavery that has been brought to
light in connection with the Rock
Island represents "the higher
mechanism CT business" we have no
doubt that the president is hostile
TO it.
II the sort of finance that wreck
ed the Frisco and broke the back
of Pere Marquee represents "the
higher mechanism of business" we
have no doubt that the president is
hostile to it.
If the corrupt manipulation that
were exposed in the lobby investi-
cation represent "the higher
mechanism of business" we have no
doubt that the president is hostile
to it.
II sneaking attempts to intim-
idate congress by means of form
kilograms and mimeographed let
tiers represent 'the higher mech
anism of business" we have no
doubt that the president is hostile
to it.
What is more, the country is
hostile to il and whenever the issue
is definitely drawn the president
will win and big business will be
beaten.
With every econumic question
that has come before him the presi-
dent has sought to deal prudently,
cautiously and sanely. No word
Of demagogy has fallen from his
lips. He has INDUCED in no reck-
less agitation: he has made no
incendiary appeals to popular pass
ion; he has neither denounced or
abused nur threatened. He has
sought to carry out no economic
policies that he has not elected
specifically to carry out, and vet
the great business interests Of the
east have fought him at every step
with every weapon at their com
mand. He offered them peace and
they have chosen war. Having
chosen war they can expect no
truce until the issue is decided.
They themselves have created a
situation in which there is nothing
for congress to do but go ahead
with the administra atoms program
and carry it through. Big BUSH
ness in politics is usually an ass. 1t
vas never more Of an ass than when
il undertook 10 bulldozc Woodrow
Wilson and this Democratic con-
gress. New York World.

STATE TAX SYSTEM
IS NOT EQUITABLE
Commissioners to Recommend
to Assembly Choosing of Tax
Officers by Appointment to
Get More Efficiency.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 25.- The
correction Of inequalities in the state
taxation system viii be one of the
vitally important tasks OF the 1915
session Of the Indiana general assem-
bly,, II recommendations made by the
state board OF tax commissioners are
Needed. The board has submitted its
report and the same ~ now in the
hands of the state printer.
The one great hIndrauce TO equit-
able taxation, according 10 the
boards report appears 10 lie in the
fact that local tax officers are now
elective, and therefore subseTVient TO
a large degree 10 the pleasure OF their
local constituents. Being property
owners themselves. as a rule, IL also
becomes their duty TO assess them
selves. While "a majority Of these To-
cal tax officers are conceded 10 be
honest and conscientious, they natu-
rally strive 10 save their own locality
from bearing a disproportiOnate bur
den OF taxation and consequently dis
criminate in favor OF those with
whom they are directly associated.
III the state tax board had the pow
CT 20 eQuallze by classes, uniformly IN
assessed valuations between the diff
ferent counties having like conditions
could be perfected to a greater de-
gree. it is pointed out.
Under the present law il is argued.
the amount OF personal or intangible
property, that is sequestered and hid
den is appalling. Thy report shows
that while practically all classes OF
corporate property in Indiana gained
in total amount assessed during the
past year, other personal property
showed a loss of nearly $500, 600.
Best results secured from this class Of
property has been either by the in
come tax. or the classification tax.
Ten states, Including Indiana, now
have constitutional amendments
pending for a classification tax.
The board suggests that the APP
pointment OF county assessors, instead
of their election. would result in
more harmonious work with the state
tax com mission and TN NJ many exist
ing dimcultes would be overcome.
one alarming feature Of the annual
report is the fact that the delinquent
taxes have shown an increase during
the past year The board declared
that the dropped taxi in Indiana
amounts 20 al 9ut $4,000,0OO annual
Is.
other recommendations by the
board are:
Increased efficiency in collections.
That public utilities be assessed by
the state tax commission, the same as
other transportation companies, in
stead Of 10y local taxation.
The making Of stocks and bonds I'm
Indiana corporations held by non
residents. taxable here.
Requiring administrators and eX-
ecutors Of estates 90 file a complete
schedule of property with the inherit
ance tax appraiser.
The substitution of the words

or Of state" in all sections of the tax
laws.

Whether the swearing i'm Of the

"MR. N0AD" LEARNS THE
NECESSITY AS WELL AS
VALUE OF ADVERTISING

That advertising is an indispensable
asset to the modern world and means
or alternating many difficulties Of the
busy man and woman was never more
wildly portrayed than through the
motion picture, Mr. NOad'S Adless
Day, which was shown at the Lasalle
theater yesterday afternoon and night.
Many amusing incidents were de-
picted in Mr.. NOad's Adless Day.
Mr. NOad" has a peculiar hatred for
advertising He awakes one morning
and on the way TO his office encOun-
ters numerous advertising features
all OF which arouse his anger TO the
extent that he destroys them where
ever possible. on reaching his office
he insists that the sign from his office
door be removed and proceeds 20 eject
from his Office a man who attempts
70 sell him publicity in book.
Failing asleep Mr. Noad" dreams
that through q good devil" he is per-
mitted one wish which may be full
filed. He asks that all advertising be
abolished. The wish is granted. He
goes home 10 find that there Is no
breakfast food. Because OF the lack
( OF signs he has difficulty in finding
+ grocery store. Finally succeeding
I he sees that there are no labels on
the various packages. Buying one ne
discovers at the table that il Is lawn
seed.
Mrs. Noad". he dreams, IS unable
/ TO find any advertising in the papers
which disgruntles the bargain seeking
woman. When he returns 10 his work
/ he meets with much difficulty in lOcat-
1 ing his Office. Street cars are with
! out signs, theaters have no display
cards and Mr.. NOad" experiences
difficulty at every angle because Of the
T lack of advertising.
