Why?

Well, why does "shoemaker's child
never have shoes?" Why does the
average architect live in an ugly and
poorly planned home? Why does the
modish dressmaker usually look
dowdy? Why is the lecturer on the
Duties Of a Mother" always spin
ster?

Congress for each ship-S7, SOC, 900
while bids Of all private concerns ex-
ceeded that amount. Both ships are
scheduled to be completed within thir-
ty-four months.
Secretary Daniels announced that
Congress would be asked to appro-
pirate about 100000 to equip the
Philadelphia navy yard for battleship
construction. He said a decision would
be reached later as to whether the
electric drive system should be in
stalled on one or both Of the new

The ships will require ss,422,22o

tense in tho trial Of the eleven former
directors of the New Haven on the
charge Of criminal violation Of the Sher-
man law.
Mr.. Meilen testified that the reason
Col. Roosevelt ordered the exclusion of
the steamship feature was because OF a
Misunderstanding Mellen had with him

view with the then President In 1907

WOULD TAX THE WEALTHY
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE
Representative Heating States Con-
dition on Which He Will Sup
port Presidents Program.

Representative Edward Heating of
Colorado delivered an address last night
on Taxing the Rich to Pay for Prepared
ness" at the first meeting of the newly
Organized Rational Defense League, held
In the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce He said he would favor President
Wilson's program for increased prepared
ness if the tax for increased defenses is
put upon the shoulders Of the wealthy.
and that II necessary he will make pest
of himself on the floor Of the House by
asking who is going to pay for prepared
ness@'
The league adopted the slogan, who
VIII Pay for Preparedness? About one
hundred persons were present, and MRS.
Jessie Hardy Mackaye, chairman of the
executive committee of the new organiza-
ton, presided.
will be held in January. at which Clifford
Pinchot will speak on the conservation of
natural resources as related to national
defense.
Mr.. Keating's Address.
In his address Representative Heating
said. in part:
an all the band of estinlable gentle
men who have been advocating a bigger
army and navy not one has signified his
desire to stand the necessary extra tax.
Hence it seems to me that ways and
means must be devised to insure that the
burden be placed where it belongs. From
the general revenues should recommend
that S150,000,000 be appropriated annu-
ally, the remainder to be secured by the
imposition Of an inheritance tax and an
income tax. For the present this would
involve raising about S300.000.000 yearly
by these two taxes. which is very
moderate.
THE poor man Is already paying
enough taxes. Should he have an addi-
tional burden for defense lad upon him,
when, If the drums rolled tomorrow, he
would be the first TO march to the front?
III such a system OF taxation for de-
Tense were adopted. you may be sure the
rich man would not wish an eXtravagant
program. and that, with his power over
industry and the press, he would consti-
tuto himself an auditor Of defense costs"

THE KICKER

1t looks from the lack of interest
that has been shown at the CONNER
cial Club when the question of a cele-
bration of July 4th has been up for
discussion, as if We would have a
quiet, sane Fourth with nothing but
the paseant under the auspices of the
CIVIC League as an entertainment.
This may be very wise, as it will give
the ladies' a chance to demonstrate
thai an educational celebration is the
thing that is needed and necessary for
the good of the rising generation.
Walking around the city the other
day a number of places were noticed
Whore the light wires are strung across
the streets and hang %perilously low,
some of them with the insulation off.
1t is not necessary to wait until we de-
eide the power plant location in order
to remedy such dangerous conditions.
The straw vote idea of settling the
power plant question did not accom-
plish much good. But it did demon
strate that the smoky nuisance can be
largely if not entirely abated. In
E~verybody's Magazine for June on
page IT'S is the information that the
L. 5. government has demonstrated
that ii can be done. We refer this to
