CITIZENS TRAFFIC ASSN TO GET
AFTER AUTO SPEEDERS

Mayor Thompson has been instruc-
ed by the council to appoint COM
mittee of citizens to be known as the
citizens traffic comm.
Municipal Judge Joseph SABBATH,
speeders' court, is the sponsor of this
order, which he holds will curb many
violations of traffic and speed law by
autoists.
Today the Judge will head COM
mittee which will call on the COVER
nor. They will ask him to include in
his call for a special session of the
legislature a bill imposing prison
fine on speeders and persons who
drive auto while intoxicated.
eve also need a law which will
compel a more strict examination of
persons driving an auto" said the
judge 1850. -. .-...,

''In some ways golf is like base

keep your eyes on the ball and your
mind on what should be done with it.
In baseball pitcher has to keep his

he has gone to this thing of getting

WONDER If WE'VE GOT A RIGHT
TO HAVE YELLOW JAUNDIcE?
Pretty soft for this Yellow Taxi Cab
bunch.
They got together about six
months ago, put UP lot of cash, adj
vertised in the newspapers that they
were going to operate yellow cabs
and then, when they got into bust
ness, secured injunctions preventing
the indescriminate use of yellow by
cab owners.
They went into court and had two
hardworking cab owners fined $50
and costs just because they painted
their taxis yellow after the fashion
of the cab company, which seems to
have patent or copyright or some
thing on yellow.

SUITS AGAINST SOME QUEER
APPRAISALS GOING NICELY
The suits to set aside the queer ap-
praisals of school properties are pro-
crossing.
RosaIie Cavanna of Paris, France,
filed answer to the board of educa-
ton. She says the 1915 valuation of
the State street lot which she holds
under a school lease is not too small.
However, Mrs. Cavanna has leased
the lot, between Monroe and Madi-
son, to Ike Bezark at figure much
greater than the one she pays the
school board. Part of the difference
she spends in living in Paris.
The lot was valued at $407, 800 by
the appraisers. They admitted that
they had taken off Is per cent of the
valuation because of bad business,
the war and several other things.
These etceteras, according to mem
bers of the school board who want to
see the children get the money which
belongs to them for their land, should
not figure in the setting of rentals as
the appraisers had only the right to
determine the true cash value of the
school property.

Constipation is practically always

quency, especially in men between forty
and sixty. The use of tobacco has
much to do with causing the disease;
the other principal cause is too much
heavy food.
It is as important to know how to
prepare food so that it will do the
body the most good as it is to prepare
soil for good crops; it is as important
to know how to feed people as to feed
pigs. Yet the government every year
spends millions in determining what
is good for land and what is good for
pigs, but not one cent to learn how to
feed people.
1t is not how much food we eat, but
how much we digest and use up. Over
eating means underdigesting.

tions to his record than any other liv

hours as the average man; he eats

appalling It ought to be investigated
as far back as the proper figures can

This fund WAS created for "a specific

you may designate in the appropria-
ton bill. and to no others.
1.-The specific items. so far enumerat-
ed, give a fair outline of how the re-
duction in taxes recommended by me
can be accomplished. An increase of
the indirect revenue for the ensuing
twelve months, and the savings in the
various departments of the state as
carefully tabulated and computed, will
produce the reduction of one million
dollars in the direct levy, if strictly
adhered to by your honorable body
School Districts.
school districts have also formed
the habit of useless expenditure of
money. Schools are necessity and
should be fostered, safeguarded and
encouraged, but no unnecessary ex-
penditures or waste should be permit
ted. 1t is just as wrong to waste the
taxpayers money for school purposes
as for any other.
1.-THE law permits and compels GER
tain levy to be made annually for
school purposes The amount of this
levy, so authorized by previous legis-
lation, was based on a low valuation
of property; since then a higher val
uation has been taken as the basis for
assessment The result is that we have
high levies, high taxes and high ex-
penditures. l believe for school pur-
poses, as well as for municipal pur-
poses, that so per cent of the actual
cash value should be the basis for the
tax levy. This would encourage econ
omy and would compel the officers who
are handling the peoples money to
practice the same economy that they
would for themselves.
