HAPPINESS AND
UNHAPPINESS
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
BY JAMES T. cRoZIER.

Last night while lying In my bed
Some thoughts kept running through
my head;
When | get up again, | said
I'll surely write them down.
SO now I'll do the best ! can
To fix them for the printer man,
To let the JOURNAL readers scan
I'll send them into town.
Two souls with but a single thought
should feel as all young people ought,
BE discontented till they've sought
Some one TO tie the knot.
They'll be no longer on the brink,
Together they must swim or sink
'Tis always best that each should
think;
Theirs was a happy lot.
Sometimes they're not a happy team,
Quite often something comes between,
One thinks the other false or mean,
And then they separate.
These words / write all know forsooth
That each thing happens is the truth,
The love for each in days of youth
Is gone-and such is fate.
A lady asked me yesterday.
Where do you get such thoughts, /
pray;
The only thing that ! could say,
Sometimes when I'm IN bed.
Quite oft before ! get 10 sleep
Into my noggen such things creep,
And fasten there so firm and deep
They will not leave my head.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES
THAT SALOONS CAN'T SECURE
REBATE OF FUNDS.
PAYMENT HELD TO De
NO MISTAKE OF LAW
If Saloon Ceases to Operate, Remainder
Of Tax Must BE Credited 70 Loss
Saioonists Threaten to Bring Suit
Another Ruling Declares Telephone
Companies Can Collect in Advance.

Des Moines. June 2S.-Replying to
an inquiry sent in from Iowa City, the
state department of justice has given
an opinion that saloonkeepers can not
claim rebate of the mulct tax if not
permitted to operate for the full period
for which payment is made.
Owing to the fact that the Des
Moines saloonkeepers are asking the
county for refund of $6,450 OF the
mulct tax paid in the first quartz:
of 1915, the ruling may have an i'm
portant bearing on the local situa-
ton.
The department says:
with reference to refundinS TO
the saloonkeepers portion of the
mulct tax paid by them, l will call
your attention to the decision Of the
supreme court in the case of Alters
VS. City Of Estherville. t. the effect
that when such tax is paid the pay
ment is no mistake of the law and
can not be recovered back"
Polk county officials have refused
to refund to the saloonkeepers and the
latter are threatening to bring suit
against the county.
Another interesting ruling recently
given by the state department OF JUS
tice is to the effect that telephone
companies may charge for service in
advance, providing there is nothing
in the franchise to prevent it.
There have been rumors that some
of the Iowa cities are about to be hit
by an increase in telephone rates
Increase in the number of subscribers
is claimed to be the reason for the
proposed move. At the Des Moines
telephone exchange it is declared that
no raise in rates is contemplated in
Des Moines. The local exchange is said
to have crossed the 10000 mark in
number of subscribers, several months
ago.
