DUPONT

THE people Of Elko will long re-
memoer and appreciate the liberality
Of the Dupont Pharmacy in voluntarily
bearing the expense Of bringing to
Elko the flags for the battleship Ne
vada, and placing them on display
here that they might be viewed by the
people of this section. And there is
more than %llberality displayed in the
act. II is a pretty piece of patriotism
which reflects for the management a
pride for his state, a love for his coun-
try, and a high sense of good citizen
ship.
1t vas not MT Dupont's wish that It
be made known that he was bearing
this expense, but we feel that the pub
lie should know 10 whom they are in.
debted most. for the privilege of view
ing these flags that credit may be
given where it is due.
Hats off to the Dupont Pharmacy.
May its popularity increase n hundred
fold.

Letters Of the People
TAXATION AND EXPENDITURE.

Editor News-Times:
The huge cost of the proposed Will
liam St extension forces attention to
the whole question of taxation and
public expenditure.
Increased expenditure is not neces-
sarily an evil; and mere denunciation
of increased expenditure gets us no.
where. 40 thinking man nowadays
believes that growing community
can ever return TO the simpler ways
of its foTefathers.
A city that does not move forward
soon begins TO move backward; or il
il stands still, it mOlds, and rusts,
and rOts. and is altogether an unlOVe-
ly and undesirable place to live IN.
SanitatiOn-paved streets--conVen-
fences of pOrtatiOn-lighting ia
cilities-fre prOtection-gOOd water
schools, Fairgrounds. parks-theSe
and a hundred other things, must be
paid for; so that public expenditure
is necessarily always on the increase.
But all these things tend TO improve
local values; hence, one might expect
that, while the total amount TO be
raised by taxation must necessarily in
crease. yet the rate of assessment, II
properly equaliZed and distributed,
should not increase at anything like
the speed it is going.
And this is just where the shoe
pinches. You know. and l know, and
everybody knows. that tax assessments
are not fairly eVened up. And they
will not be until the people them
selves take up this question of taxa
ton in relation to values, and until
greater publicity is given to present
inequalities Publicity is often quite
a purifier. l don't blame assessors
personally; they, like all of US, are the
victims of a vicious system. Ii is the
system that needs overhauling. This
/ commend to your editorial notice
to your trenchant and fearless criti-
cism. and to public attention and
thought.
But to get back to the point we
started from. The fact that a grow
ing city like South Bend absolutely
needs so many things is just one more
reason why we should carefully scru-
tinize all new schemes for spending.
Our administrators ought not TO throw
away public money like a lot OF
drunken sailors. And an expenditure
of $50. 900 on this William ST. opening
would. it seems 10 me, be very fine
and large example Of just that kind or
expenditure. y L

publishers offices Of the foreisn-lan
guage press. We should ike to know
who nominated Emperor William and
Emperor Francis Joseph for munich
pal office in Chicago. More might be
said about the abuse Of American
passports. There are explanations to
be made concerning the so-called
"harbOr-plOt" at New York. Suspicion
IS easy and dangerous. and when di-
rected against another government. it
should never be cast lightly But the
circumstantiaI evidence is rather dam
aging. There seems to be a concert
ed attempt to split apart the people Of
this country into two hostile camps.
If German officials countenance that.
they are committing a very subtle
crime. They are attacking the popu-
lar foundations of our government
1t is a piece Of work which il will be
difficult for us to forgive.

enlisted for the European war.
In the naval battle off Chile the
Leipzig and Dresden fired more than
"a thousand shells, and only seven nit.
If the entire population of the world
resided in Texas there would be only
an average of ten persons 70 the acre.
The daily ration of a japanese
soldier in the field consists of three
little bags of rice and bunch Of
dried vegetables.
The richest man in the world is
Car Nicholas. OF Russia. He once
gave $1OO,0OO,OOO from his private
treasury TO Russia's war fund.
Both the heaviest and lightest
woods grow in the United States, the
former being Florida ironwood and
the latter the so-called cork OF Mis-
souri,.
Hiram Johnson, a farmer near
Waterville, y. Y, tells a beautiful tale
Of how he utilizes the digging pro-
pensities OF three woodchucks which
he captured. He says he has trained
them TO dig straight posthOles any
depth and size required.
A new method of growing corn has
given good results in dry-land sections
of western Kansas. The rows are
seven feet apart instead Of three and
one-half feet, but the plants are
twice as thick in the row. The yield
was double that OF adjoining fields
planted the old way.

GEORGES INGRATITUDE.

1 do not know Of a piece of
national legislation that mas had
its declared or underlying
purpose the promotion of business
AID the protection of investor,
labor, and consumer or that has
been based on sound twentieth
century economics and morals
George w Perkins.
What a very. very iconoclastic ut
terance for Mr.. George w. Perkins to
make. He renounces his idols. repu-
dates his gods.
If there has been a piece OF national
legislation. or for that matter a ma
tional legislation enacting body. in the
past decade, that some of the numer-
Gus concerns in which Mr.. Perkins is
a director, did not have a finger in the
making Of directly or indirectly. it
would take a search warrant TO 10
cate it.
If the statement is true. and far be
il from us to take upon ourselves the
burden of disproving it. it's principal
" because big business" as typiGed
by the New York Life ]. p Morgan &
Co. Northern Securities. ct al, are not
looking for national legislation based
on sound twentieth century eco
Monies and morals"
In the past the real big, brainy man
with the ability to conceive legislation
for the protection of the investor,
laborer and consumer" and suspected
of a desire TO do so. was effectually
"dissuaded" from becoming a national
lawmaker, or if one or two slipped
through, as a few have done, their
efforts were rendered abOrtive by a
majority of their corporatiOn-made as
sOciates
What constitutes the kind of legis-
lation Mr.. Perkins refers 10 is a mat
ter of individual opinion. good
many measures have been proposed in
congress which some several million
people regarded as sound morally and
economically. but big business" sue
ceeded in strangling them at birth.
And for which Mr.. Perkins now
evidences rank ingratitude.
