POWER TO SUBSIDIZE NOT AT

II democrats believe coastwise

tolls exemption is nothing else than
a subsidy-there has been no sur

create such subsidy. The govern

The moment the Panama canal is
opened the Tehuantepec railW~ will
be deprived of its business no matter

THE SECRET OF a BIG SUCCESS

Persistently sticking to a sound idea
and not being afraid of work are what
made the late Ben Keith the king of
vaudeville.
His first theater was in a small
room. He could afford only one usher
and one white uniform for that one
usher But every night Ma Keith
washed and ironed and mended that
one uniform, so that it was always
spotlessly clean: and twice each day
Pa Keith and Ma Keith took brOoms
and mops and dust rags and secured
every speck of dust and dirt out of the
little place
The rule of cleanliness didn't end
there. on the stage everything had
TO be clean. too; clean in appearance.
clean in suggestion. Ii was Ben's
idea that more Americans want clean
entertainment than want smut or dirt
or vulgarity. Sticking to this notion
like "A bull pup 10 bone made Ben a
multi millionaire
The secret of success in business
consists in supplying to the public
what it wants. But that requires first
/ knowing what it wants.
/ Keith knew.
There's always a field for the man
who knows-and who works and
dares.

BULLY FOR j. j. PASTORAL.

j. j. Pastoriza is tax commissioner
of Houston, Texas. bout a month
ago he received a letter from L. W.
Prescott Of Boston who said that he
had furnished city ard town asses
sors in Massachusetts with authentic
information of the stock holdings of
their residents in foreign corpora
tions, which stock is taxable under
the Massachusetts law" His kind
ness, he said, resulted in the taxa
ton of several million dollars worth
or personal property which had not
been declared by the owners, and thus
escaped taxation" He asked if the
Houston authorities would like to
have such information in regard to
residents of that city, Offering to sell
the information vt the rate of 81 a
name. Pastoriza replied as follows:
Il have your letter offering to Sc
cure assessments of personal prop
erty and charge 81 per name for
same. In reply will STAKE that this
city has ceased to act in the capacity
of a thief. We do not tax personal
property; we consider il common,
everyday stealing, to take in the
form of taxes any part of that which
man earns himself The land values
of Houston produce more revenue
than we need and we don't have to
subject our citizens to the ordeal OF
the seventh degree, or put them in a
position where they Will have to lie,
perjure themselves. and send their
souls to hell. If you Will read Prog
ress and Poverty by Henry George
you will get a line on what 1 an
talking about"
The resident of Houston, then. has
this peculiar moral advantage over
man living in St., Louis, Portland
San Francisco. and other cities in the
United States Houston does not
punish him for telling the truth about
his personal property, and does no
reward him for heroic lying about il
That moral change in Houston wa
Z brought about by Tax COMMISSIONS

a fair chance in school should know.
