The following differences may be
fairly drawn:
1. That over two-thirds of our ex-
penditures are entirely outside the
control of the commissioners.
2. That this proportion is con-
stantly increasing.
8. That the greatest growth in tax
alton is in those matters most com
pletely controlled by the taxpayers
themselves, to-wit: District roads
and public schools.

believes she. has a common cause with
the United States in the struggle for

Allies by granting to Germany this
6pgle right for which the imperial
government maintains it is fighting.

miles behind its nightlit sky lines,

Pacific, where your United States, In
the midst of the world war, is cele-
brating the forgotten triumphs of civ
ilization in the two California exposi-
tions. And it is your country. You
have discovered America, with your
heart as well as your brain.
Within a few days / was within the

happy people, and ! had been used
to seeing only sad people. Every
where l saw smiles, and l had been
used to seeing only strained, unsmil-
ing faces. Everywhere, everybody
was busy. l heard talk, talk. talk,
of busy, earnest men; l missed the
hate that l had become accustomed
to; / missed war; l saw none of its
terrible mark. And every minute I
thrilled at the thought.
This wonderful, peaceful country,
is my country"
And l kept wondering why all those
about me didn't thrill at the idea.
But they all seemed to take it for
granted. Americans, at home here,
discovered, see one side of the pic
ture only. Most of them haven't dis
covered America yet.
