Conscious Goodn ess

When we become conscious that
what we do or say or are is well done
or well said or good, we begin to go
back. Self-criticism is good. Self
enthusiasm is a weakness. A bad
little boy is one whose self esteem
teaches him that he is smarter than
his pIaymates, and he tries to show
off. Habitual criminality is egotism
a distorted view of the criminal S
cleverness. II God could realize His
perfection, He would not be God.
He would be imperfect. Many re-
formers are reformers through their
conscious goodness. Admitting their
own correct lives, they would force
others by law to live as they do. No
artist is truly great who is satisfied
with his work. No woman is beauti-
full who is conscious of her beauty
Heaven would not be heaven if the
saints and angles realized the
degrees of their goodness. Conscious
goodness is the beginning of an evil
end. 1t worships itself at the front
of the temple. 1t is the eclipse over
the sun of growth.

She Was Wanted

A few days ago business per-
sonal" appeared in a newspaper, in
serted by sweet-faced little woman
made helpless by rheumatism, who
asked simply if anyone wanted a
grandmother. Then she spent a
troubled, sleepless night, wondering
if anyone would see her ad, or, see
ing, give it heed. The world was
due to ieer and sneer--but it didn't.
The next day from all over the
state, came offers to the little grand
mother. Several hurried to the
address given, to find themselves too
late, for at sunrise a widow with a
little daughter had adopted" a
mother for herself and grandmother
for her little one. And more !:
Offers of financial assistance poured
in, and physicians offered free medi-
cal service for her rheumatism. So,
at eventide, the sun which had risen
on sad and hopeless woman, shed
its rays upon countenance wreathed
in smiles and eyes that shone again
with hope.

Governor Signs Terminal Tax Bill
Snecial to The pele

Madison, Wis.,, July 16. Gov
ernor Phillip this afternoon
signed the Nye terminal tax bill
providing for the refunding to
local communities of taxes col.
lected on railroad owned
elevators merchandise docks,
ore docks, and wharfs.
The bill which became law
when it was signed by Governor
Emanuel Phillip today, grants to
Superior some relief from the
heavy burden inflicted by the
enactment of the railway ad
valorem tax which took nearly
one. third of the taxable property
of the city off the tax rolls and
turned the money derived from
it into the state treasury.
Bills introduced in past legis-
latures were either killed or. as
was the fate Of the bill passed
by the 1911 legislature, declared
Unconstitutional by the supreme
court of the state.
Assemblyman Ray }. Nye
introduced the bill which was
signed by the governor today.

Baxter, twas the man who put
the bill through" Both of the

Under the new law the state

against the property. the same
rate being used as in assessing
other railroad property. The
money will be collected by the
state and then refunded to the
city treasurer.

law the tax will be refunded to
the cities IN which the property
is located.
