this cataclysm that had come on
both of them.
well, Miss Thatcher, have given
you a lot of work today" said era
shaw, "bUt there will be very little
more And now have a great and
trust pleasant surprise for you. Miss
Thatcher, there is something 1 want
to tell you"
Little Miss Thatcher was totally
unable to prevent the electric thrill
that ran through her. The very
word! 1t was coming at last! Amazed
at her prescienee, she only stared at
Crashaw with her weepy eyes.
'Since you have been here" he re-
sumed; your work and your devotion
have inspired me with the greatest
admiration. Miss Thatcher"
The treasurer broke off in aston
ishment. Miss Thatcher, always so
staid and self possessed, was weeping
on his shoulder. And then she looked
up at him with a face that was so
radiant that the treasurer was no
longer astonished- glad.
He did not know how it happened,
either, but his arm had fallen about
her is the most natural way in the
world. Mr. CrashaW was so very big,
and Miss Thatcher so frail, that
there was one position toward which
they inevitably gravitated. In fact, if
any Office boy had happened to enter
at the moment he would have seen
Miss Thatcher seated almOst-nOt

urer's knee.
my dear" faltered Crashaw,
wondering how such a wonderful
piece of luck had come to him, and
whether he had blurted out anything
which might have been construed as
a declaration.

and she saw no prospect Of ever re-
ceiving $25 to start. What would her
ability count against the magic of
personality?
That she lacked sorely, and she
only waited while the memorable
months flew by. She was too honest
to look for another position until Bry-
ant & Co. dispensed with her services.
So she did nothing and it was week
before Crashaw was to leave that
the blow fell
It came in the shape of curt Of
fetal letter, intimating that her serv-
ices would be no longer required one
week from that date.
Little Miss Thatcher had not nerved
herself for the blow, though she had
expected it so long. She cried all
night and went down to the Office the
next morning with red nose.
All that day Crashaw kept her
buster than ever before IN his private
office. It was not until five o'clock
that he leaned back in his chair and
watched Miss Thatcher attentiVely.
He was chuckling to himself, kindly
man that he was. He had known
that Miss Thatcher would be dis
charged, and he had arranged to take
her over on his staff with the original
Bryant, who was starting another
business. He knew that the new peo-
pie, with their tricky ways would
eventually have to go under, and per-
NIT Bryant to buy back the control
But he needed Miss Thatcher, and he
had always felt sorry for her,
Somehow her clothes seemed old
maidish; and he was sure that she
was a devOtee of the chatting dish.
He wished she had some good man to
take. care of her.
She was never pretty, and not in
the least degree so at the present
time, with her eyes swollen from
weeping, and her nose decidedly pink.

YOUNG ROCKEFELLER-There is
no way by which the law can expel
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., from this
country, but there are ways by which
the people of the country can make
it plain to that young squirt that he
is an undesirable citizen. One way
would be for the legislatures of the
various states to pass resolutions to
the effect that he is an undesirable
citizen of this country and menace
to civilization and humanity.
Public sentiment is hostile to the
author of the Colorado outrages. All
that sentiment needs is organization.

THOSE BIG sALARIEs.-It We

be interesting to know just what
Blair, Busby and Budd do to earn
those outrageous salaries. They are
no wiser in general information than
the general run of men. There are
plenty of men in the employ of the
companies who can route car lines
and run the street railway system.
The chances are that most of the
brain work in management is done by
experienced subordinates anyhow.
Why the big salaries then? Is it
because they know the little trick of
getting long hours of work out of
thousands of employees for small pay?
Is it because they understand finan-
cial juggling and know how to con-
vert franchise values into millions of
watered bonds and stock?
Is it because they know how to
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-19

persuade council and legislatures to
do the things they want done for the
benefit of the companies?
Is it because they know how to get
by with small property returns for
taxation, to elect judges and persuade
city administrations to let them use
the city police force as a. private
army?
The city is interested in those enor-
nous salaries. The people have to
pay them. So the public would prob
ably be interested in knowing just
what Busby, Blair and Budd do to
hold their jobs and pull down those
fat salaries.

PUBLIC oWNERSHIP.-Why isn't
now good time to organize Public,
Ownership League?
We will always be in danger of
strike and trouble so long as the pub
lie utilities are run for private profit
instead of public convenience. There
is an irreconcilable conflict between
public service and private profit.
For instance, the street railway
game is to pack the most possible
people in the fewest possible cars,
because that's the way to make the
most money and pay the biggest divi-
dends on watered stock.
And in order to protect their special
privilege of exploiting the people the
street railways and other public util-
tiles find it necessary to play politics
and control municipal and state gov
ernment-which means that politics
and government must be debauched.
The people of Chicago have voted
three times for municipal ownership
and apparently are no nearer to it
now than when they started. If such
an organization could be completed
outside the parties the sentiment Of
the people in favor of public owner
ship could be organized for effective
work.
If the people of Chicago who be-
Heve in public ownership ever get to-
gether in one organization outside Of
all of the parties the people can get
what they want /.

nent questions on taxation recently
propounded by F. Williams in The

Mr.. Williams asked two questions
as follows:
1. If a per cent tax is laid on the
groceries in the stores, will the price
of groceries rise or fall? Answer:
Undoubtedly the price of groceries
will rise per cent and the consumer
will pay the freight.
2. If per cent tax is laid on
the 100000 vacant lots in Chicago
will the price of lots rise or fall? An

PLAY FAIR.

PLAY FAIR.-Brother men, I'M
derstand we are by courtesy of the
publishers of The Day Book allowed
the opportunity of expressing our no.
lions upon public questions free from
any charge for space occupied. Let
us try and not be ridiculous in our
affectation of learning, nor con-
temptible in attempting to criticise
one another.
The demand is imperative that the
public life keep above the customs
and manners of those who represent
the law and gospel. All so-called
learning and higher civilization is
now cutting but poor figure about

common sense today is greater than

knowledge of political economy to
know that the authorities on this
question without exception agree
that the price of lots would fall be-
cause a tax on land values is the one
tax that cannot be shifted to another
person. The result of this action
would be to encourage house build
ing and all other useful industries and
discourage the vacant lot industry.
The owner of the vacant lot would be
compelled either to improve his land,
which would give employment to
labor, or to offer it for sale, which
would flood the market and so reduce
the price.
If, however, not per cent tax but
all taxation were placed upon all land
according to it's value, irrespective of
improvements, and industry relieved
accordingly, Chicago would expert
ence an immediate boom such as has
never been known. The problem of
unemployment would be settled per-
manently. And, best of all, this would
be prosperity whose bottom would
not fall out at the beck and nod of the
money power.-James A. Meade.
