No legislator who votes to abolish
the tax commission will take unto him
self much credit in after years for so
doing. The tax commission Is the on
ly organized body for studying taxa
ton OF the state. Every dollar of taxes
saved to the people of this state has
been saved as a direct result Of the
work done by the commission. The
state board of equalization, which sets
for ten days reviewing such figures
as the various assessors lay before it
and pretending to equalize taxes is
worse than a joke. 1t is a fraud on its
face and a coward in making Its ad-
justments. The state officers are al
ready overburdened with details, and
to impose this great task upon them
of equalizing values and regulating
taxation methods, as an after-dinner
task, is an expensive folly.-American

WHO RUNS THE PAPER?

In a neighboring county, a clergy
man took the editor of the local paper
to task for accepting certain adver-
Using contract. The good man for
got that for years the editor had given
freely Of his space to help the church,
had printed columns of notices of SER
vices, meetings, supper, entertainments
and lectures all free. In donating this
space the editor had given much more
than the equivalent of cash. He had
given publicity, and thus had done
more to support the church and pay
the minister's salary than any other
three members of the church.
An editor has but two sources Of In
come-his subscription list and hia
space. Yet in this case, when he sold
his space he lost subscriber. OF
course no one need subscribe for the
paper unless he wants to, but no sub
scriber should want to dictate to the
editor as to what he should publish.
Many editors will not accept certain
kinds of advertising. Other editors
cannot afford, perhaps, to be SO indie
pendent. Business conditions often
govern these matters. For years a
rich and prosperous Philadelphia
weekly, Of national circulation. declin-
ed to publish the advertisements of
cigarette manufacturers. Now that
paper is accepting the cigarette ad-
vertisements. Perhaps the editor needs
the money, and who will blame him
if he sells his space to the American
Tobacco company? We hear that Col
lier's, too, is letting down the bars a
little. That's all right Let them down
further, as long as takers, grafters and
swindlers are kept out. No one can

that paper big or little. 1t is the edi-
tors paper, and it is his living. He is

From all indications in Mexico the
United States will find plenty of work
as peacemaker Carranza's offense
against the foreign representatives
will compel this country because of
the Munroe Doctrine to guaranty safe
ty to the citizens of foreign countries
while the present state of anarchy
reigns in Mexico. While it may be
the right of Mexico and Mexicans to
enjoy their little shindy unhindered
yet that right has now passed beyond
national liberty to that individual IL
cense. Mexico has no government
and can have none until such time as
this country adopts the same course
OF protectorate over her that has ere
ated order out of chaos in the Phillip
pines and in Cuba. The attitude OF
watchful waiting is not appreciated
in its right light by the warning factions
in Mexico and a good sound American
spanking looks like the best remedy
for the trouble there at present.

REk UTILIZATION OF TIE DANCE.

REE ABILiTATION OF TIE DANCE.
When the waning popularity of the
waltz and two-step and the craving for
novelty in ballroom dances afforded
the, opportunity for innovations three
years ago, there vas a grave danger
that the transition from old to new
might lead to tolerance of steps and
figures of, to put it mildly, an immod-
est origin and tendency. Against this
possibility it became the duty of ladies
and gentlemen to oppose their infiu-
ence, and the recent history of the
ballroom records how Immediately eff
fective their prompt disapproval was,
The new dances came, and conquered,
but in them is discernible nothing Of
the character of those which for a
short time threatened society. They
offend in no way against good taste,
and 1t is a noticeable incident of their
progress that even the tendency to
rompishness has undergone a steady
decrease as they have developed. 1t
was inevitable that the difficult and in-
tricate steps, though brought to high
state Of excellence by few, should re-
main beyond the ambition of the great
majority, and that simplicity should
regain its place on the dancing floor.
The complete success with which good
morals and good manners have main
tanned themselves Is marked by the de-
cision of the Emerald Society of Brook
lyn to hold its annual ball this winter
as usual, says New York Sun. Last
year this festivity was abandoned, out
of respect to Bishop McDonnells oppo-
sition to the popular dances. This
year the Improvement in these amuse-
ments Is so firmly established that
Bishop Mcdonnell feels under no OBJ
legation to protest, a fact which may
be accepted as recognition by a con-
sentative authority of the final recess
sion of what once constituted a real
danger.

appear rather hazardous proceed

as barricades, when they would be OF

heavy traffic daily travels and takes
chances of being speedily ushered into
eternity of anything should go wrong.
These grades are disgrace to any

The strong note of protest made
against interference with American
shipping to England and Germany, has
the right ring and will if backed up
by President Wilson make him many
friends among the people who are
not jingoists in the least. To enforce
national respect may cost us some
thing in sacrifices, but it must come
sooner or later. The outcome of the
present war has little of bright pros
pect for this nation which eventually
must settle commercial supremacy
with the winner. To quietly sit by and
allow the American flag of our grow
ing merchant marine to be driven from
the sea is to later court disaster when
the time comes for active campaign
for commercial advantage Sympa-
thy of this nation should not be with
either Germany or England in the
present war, but concerned altogether
for American existance as a world
power When the English Americans
and the German-Americans will for
get that England or Germany repre-
sents to them anything but ancestral
memories and that here in this great
country is their home and opportuni-
ty,s Americanism will then triumph.
But this idea will never enter their
heads as long as this nation signally
fails to protect and perpetuate Ameri-
canism as the truest form of liberty.

LIE ODA1N FONOIV1
BACKS UP MAYOR-ELECT. -
Graham Taylor is angry. He is sore.
In his article in Saturdays Daily
News he says IN speaking of the
mayor-elect: But, there is neither
luck nor management in his PROPOSE
ton, trust the policeman on the beat
to give a dollar where it is most
needed. ...., ..
1t probably is not the scheme that
Mr.. Taylor condemns, but the horror
of some reformer losing dollar, or
anybody being entrusted with a dol
lar except a so-called reformer.
To me, the mayor-elect's PROPOSE
ton is the best and most practical
thing yet suggested to help the needy
outside of state supervision of the
poor and needy who cannot work,
and employment for those who can
work. 1t shows the mayor-elect's
practical sense and warm heart and
the difference between him and the
cold, calculating "reformers.
l know from long experience that
such dollar, as Mayor-elect Thomp-
son proposes, will be of more benefit
to some poor person in time of need
than $1,000 would be to them in the
hands of some "reformers," or $10,-
600 in the hands of the United Char
tiles.
The needy dollar, or the dollar in
need, is like first aid to the injured"
when a person is bleding to death.
The doctor on the spot saves a life,
like the dollar in need, and some
times saves a soul.
The doctor miles away, where he
cannot be reached, is like the dollar
in the hands of the United Charities,
hard to get, and before you can get
it life is gone, a soul before its God.
A life that could be saved by needy
dollar in the hands of a policeman,
and lost through the red tape of or

"reformers" to know that for two
years as lieutenant at Desplaines st.
station it cost me monthly from SIS to
SIS in nickels, dimes and dollars to
the needy, the stranded and the I'M
fortunate Jack Malloy of your staff
will vouch for the truth of this state
ment - and yet some people think
that needy dollar given to a police
man to distribute in time of need is
a dollar lost. It's dollar lost to the
''reformer." In conclusion I'll say
that Mayor Thompson's proposition
is great, that along with being a big
man he has big heart, and the name

POOL .HALLS.-Being a reader of
your Day Book since the first day it
was published in Chicago, and know
ing that you are a believer in equity
1 want to voice my sentiments regard
ing pool halls.
Are all poolroom owners to blame
for the crimes that are committed in
Chicago by the so-called habitues of
poolrooms? ...
There are thousands of young men
like myself that frequent these plac-
es, but they still maintain their moral
standard in the community. AS soon
as crime is committed the so-called
reformers place the blame on the
poolrooms. If it were possible to take
the statistics of young men in Chi
cago that frequent these places you
can rest assured that you would find
SO per cent of them are young men
who work every day and have never
had any trouble with any one.
There are many other reasons for
crimes being committed by those inn
beetle degenerates than that of fire..
quenting a pool hall.
1 have been a frequenter of pool
halls for the last IL years, still work
every day and have never entertained
any thoughts of committing any
crime because 1 happen to go to a
pool hall.
Don't condemn the pool halls be-,

The woodlands ak has been clear

from which medicine are derived

Habit VIII Grow Upon You.

Conquer the habit of worrying if
you want to be happy in this world.
Worry will grow upon you, becoming
little worse day after day until it
holds you in such an unrelenting grip
that you are a veritable slave to its
dictates. Shake off fear, fill your
mind with happy thoughts, look into
the future unafraid. and be thankful
for the blessings of the present.
No matter how bad your condition
you can always find something to be
thankful for. If you are poor you may
have health, a blessing many of the
rich would be willing to pay for dear
ly. If you are i'll you may at least
be happy in the tender ministrations
of friends and relatives around you.
Look at any condition for the good
there is in it, look for the best, do
your best, and you will have no cause
TO worry.
