MERELY COMMENT

Gee whiz, folks, but these are
tough days for the rich
The State street stores are pleading
poverty and want the rest of US to
cut down their taxes.
That means that the rest of US
must pay 'em.
The biggest property owners in
the loop are the Marshal Field heirs,
two lads who have several hundred
millions coming to them some day.
And now Levy Mayer, the rich
mans lawyer, wants real estate ValU-
ations for taxation reduced for their
benefit.
OF course, they won't sell any of
that property at reduced rates, be-
cause it's growing in value all the
time.
But it looks as if now is a good
time to plead poverty and sneak out
Of paying their fair share Of the taxes.
The more property a rich man
owns the more he hates to pay taxes.
And they think States Attorney
Hoyne is a bad citizen because he
wants the rich as well as the poor to
pay taxes.
How would it do for the poor to
raise a fund to start sOup-houses on
Sheridan road?
And to furnish gasoline and oil for
their limOUsines?
Pity the poor rich!
Why even Mr.. and Mrs. Katherine
Barker SpaUIding have only 100000
a year out of an income of a million
and a half.

PETERSON OPPOSES CUTS IN
TEACHERS SALARIES
The Baldwin senate committee,
conducting it's investigation Of
school affairs, has been carefully
drawing witnesses from among the
school board members in its quiz.
Every one of them had knocked the
organization of the teachers and the
way things are run by the board I'M
til Charles S. Peterson, chairman Of
of the finance committee, was called.
Peterson said that most Of those
who had talked so well for the trust
newspapers did not know what they
were talking about.
He said that the deficit which the
board faced had not been caused by
a raise in the salaries of teachers, as
several big business" men have
claimed. 1t was because 10000 more
children had applied for seats in the
schools during the last two years.
He told the senate committee the
best way to make up the deficit was
to borrow and that to take the money
from the salaries Of teachers was
wrong. They are getting less today
than years ago, he declared, because
of the high cost of living.
Myer Stein, with an eye toward
the newspaper men, brought out one
terrible point yesterday. Pianos could
be taken from schools without reqUi-
sitions if the engineers were not hon.

UNNECESSARY LOSS
IN MANURE HEAPS
Escape Of Nitrogen Through
Heating Where Piles Are
Deep Is Considerable.

City manure can be bought more
cheaply in some seasons OF the year
than In others. II Is common practice
to throw the carloads OF manure In
large piles to wait for use later on.
The chief losses come through heat
ing and teaching when manure is LETT
exposed. The amount OF loss depends
upon the conditions under which the
manure is kept.
Heaps may be made so deep that
there is relatively small loss from
teaching. but in such case the escape
of nitrogen through heating is very
great. Under average barnyard con-
ditions a loss from 25 to so per cent
is expected from piles OF manure ex-
posed for few months.
Even at the best, when manure is
kept under a roof and Is hard packed
and is supplied with the right amount
OF moisture TO prevent heating. the
loss is supposed TO be 10 per cent.
