WHO DOES YOUR THINKING?

What is it that sets man above
the rest of the animals kingdom? ?
Is it not the power to Think All
through the history Of the world
there have been few great
thinkers, aid there have been a
great many who let some one
else do their thinking for them.
Which kind are you? Do you
think for yourselff People who
think for themselves are human
being living on high plan;
those who let others think for
them are living in a rut where
prejudice, fogysm superstition
and ignorance prevail. The world
is full of people who travel in a
rat and seem to like it, although
it is close scrouging.
The habit Of thinking is not
easy to acquire. 1t means that
you must reason, use the facul-
ties Of your mind, about things
you see and hear. 1t means cul-
tivating an open mind. 1t means
self control. It means that you
refuse to accept the ready-made
thoughts of others until you have
analysed them. Are you letting
some one do your thinking for
youl The next time you notics
yourself saying: II think so-and.
so," ask yourself the question.
Twas that my thought or mott
We see all the time men who
think controlling those who do
not-in business, in religion, in
politics, in war, in everything the
thoughtful man rules. Sometimes
and particularly in politics, he
rules selishly. Very, often do
not use their reason. A hired
himself at the expense Of those
who do not use their reason. A
hired agitator, in the pay Of IA
natics or extremists-whose mar
row minds object to this, or that,
or the other thing-plays upon
the feelings of his hearers. The
unthinking, after listening to his
TRADE, exclaim, "He's right! !
think there should be a law
against It'll" Do you think, or
are you only rejecting the sug-
gestions of clever talker! The
greatest Snowman the world
ever knew said: "The American
people like to be humbugged. !"
He certainly knew what he was
talking about for he made a for
tune in that Observation-Disclosures
Press.

OF course it is the duty Of the
newspapers to keep the public
informed on such subjects as the
war tax, but what is going to be-
come Of those communities where
the newspapers fail to look at it
in that light
In matters affecting the whole
people, as the war tax does, the
government might properly adopt
some means of placing in the pos
session of all the people affected
by the tax authoritative informa-
ton concerning it. One way If
doing this would be by properly
advertising the provisions Of the
law in the newspapers.--Beau-

WAR TAX IGNORANCE.

uc 1Tdmc1S VI CAc law pAOVNA
ing for the war tax only followed
the common practice in this
country when they failed to in
elude in the law q provision for
proper advertisement of the law
20 as to inform persons liable to
the tax. Ignorance Of the law
excuses no man" and in this par
SECULAR case ignorance Of the law
lays the ignorant person liable to
. penalty Of so per cent Of the
amount Of the tax to which he is
liable. When the war tax law
was adopted a summary Of it was
given to the newspapers to pub
lish as news, and further than
that the government has done
nothing to inform the public as
TO the particulars of the provi'
sions Of the law.
The newspapers have been the
only source of general informa-
ton on the subject Of the war
tar. The newspapers have had
70 collect their information at
considerable expense and they
have been compelled to devote
considerable valuable space to
the explanation Of the law.
The Canadian government does
things differently. It does not
expect the newspapers to stand
the expense Of digging up and
printing information as to the
laws passed as war contingency
measures. Canada has passed
laws similar to our war tax meas.
IRE and in each instance the law
has contained provisions for the
adequate advertising Of its re-
Gpirementa
The Aberdeen American, CON-
1henting on the lack of provision
for proper dissemination OF in
formation rs to the requirements
Of the war tax, says:
Here is situation quite typi-
cal o. the backhand way in which
the government goes into things.
A war tax was passed which
stipulated long list Of taxsble
articles and levied certain as
easements upon various lines Of
business. This was the enact
ment which the people are pre-
sumed to obey. Yet there is no
provision for notification Of adj
vertisement. Indeed, collectors
are especially cautioned that
nothing is to be spent for news
paper publicity.
IL yor happen to be listed IN
the taxable trades and don t
know it, there is no provision
for telling you, and yet if you
have not paid the tax by the pen
atty date, the fine is an added
50 per cent for your ignorance.
Uncle Sam doesn't worry. He
