LAW MEANS MONEY LOSS
Disregarding the ordinance pre-
pared by Commissioner of Public
Service Ferry, an ordinance will be
introduced to the council tonight
which will compel the taxi companies
to accept a reduction of 10 cents in
their rates for the first half mile. If
this ordinance passes they will lose
money, according to Ferry.
Ferry advocates two classes of
service, one for the business man and
the other for the pleasure seeker.
The first would cost 80 cents for the
first half mile and the second would
cost so cents. Taxis would be dis
tinguished by colOTed star.
The department of public service,
by compiling one of the most
thorough taxi cab rates ever. made,
proves that the companies would not
lose money with this plan in opera
ton. Representatives Of every COM
pany will oppose the ordinance to-
night because they will lose money
if it is accepted. Lobbyists for the
taxi companies prophesy its defeat.

Good Taste in Planting.

Tou have seen some residences over
furnished and Others under furnished,
and yet you know furniture itself does
not constitute the merit or the demerit
of the home, so much as does the distri-
button of the parts and the atmosphere
of the place. The good taste" of the
occupants is the final test.
To some extent may we apply these
contrasts to the home grounds, particu-
larly to those grounds that are small
enough TO be dominated by the residence
and to have the home-like and domestic
feeling. There are many recognized prin-
ciples and maxims touching the subdivi-
sion and arrangement of the home
grounds, as there are for proper devel.
opment of the interiors; but all these
must express themselves finally in this
indefinite test that we know as good
taste.
As in the attractive residence there is
some free space, so in the grounds there
must be something like an open area.

CAN THEY LIVE ON $1,000?

MONCbCeAO EAIUeSS.J
Not long ago we heard bevy OF
young women discussing the question
OF whether young married couple
could live on 800 per month and not
be considered unduly Close" by their
friends. So in order to reach a basis
for belief they agreed upon the cost
of the necessary Items entering into
the question and adding them together
solved the question ,aftirmatively by a
close shave. There was a good deal
Of chatter about the cost Of living now
as compared with the expenses Of q
decade or two ago.
One equation they left out OF their
calculations, and that was the dfspo-
sition OF the young people as to econo
my. There are couples OF thrifty
disposition who would regard an IN
come Of 800 q month as a basis OF 2
competence. Without appearing mean
they would live well and put third
OF their earnings into interest produc-

they would not entertain with expen-

in order to retain the friendships worth

Incidentally-and only Incidentally
Mr.. Fitch was elected to the Illinois
legislature in the progressive victory Of
two years ago. Fitch's meter. however,
was as an author. not that of the poll
tician.
There is similarity existing between
the rise OF Bob Burdette and of George
Fitch. Both were newspaper writer's al
Iowa desks. both struck a new lead in
the field of hunaor and both became
figures of national prominence. Bur
dette was granted the statutory limit of
mans years. Fitch died in his prime.
Both We're appreciated thoroughly IL

both were personally beloved of Iowans

GEORGE FITCH.

The announcement of the death of
George Fitch today will be met with
regret and sincere grief by the editors
and newspaper writer's of Iowa; for
Fitch was man well beloved of the
fraternity.
George Fitch developed his talent in
Iowa and gained public recognition as
a hurlorist by his work in this state. A
little more than a dozen years ago
column in tbs Council! Bluffs Nonpareil
under the caption "Frolics Of the
Types" displayed the touch OF master
hand. Il was good, clean, keen, new
humor. Nobody seemed to know just
who vas making it. The editor who Is
writing this wrote to the "F'rolics of the
Types" requesting the name of the
name OF the new star and received
letter signed George Fitch" a name
unknown among the huaorists. The
Times -Repubiican then did something
it does rarely and then only as an ex-
preston of its sense of special merit,
credited its reprints of the "Frolics
stuff" to George Fitch in the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil." Its lead was fol-
lowed by other Iowa papers and the
name Of George Fitch became a familiar
one across the state.
Fitch left the Nonpareil to become
managing editor OF the Peoria Tran
script Herald. but his talent was that
Of the writer rather than the reporter
