You may not like the looks OF the
girl who chews gum. but she is prac-
ticing a habit which spread into
America from Mexico in the early part
Of the last century and which is today
making miliienaires. She does not
look any worse thah the women who
dip snuff or the men who chew to-
bacco, who also sustain a great husi-
ness. In old times gum was chewed
because 1t was new fad. but in these
days it is pepsinated for the dyspeptic
and n.edicated for all; and it IS ehewed
in the home. the places of amusement
the churches and also in the trenches,
for it has become q necessity among
army supplies. Ard this habit puts
fifteen hundred thousand dollars a
week into somebody's pockets; and
this is not one-fourth as much as is
expended for tobacco which is ten
times as filthy and no more satisfying,
How can q girl be a good sport IL she
doesn't chew gum when most of the
male sports chew tobacco? We do not
commend it, hut it is apparent they
might be chewing something worse.

business the less expense in proper

would be unknown. 1t is a false idea
to say our city is larger and expense
bigger. If the city is larger isn't the
income also larger in proportion to
the expense. Should there not be a
balance each year for a rainy day
to make up for further improve
ments? If not, something is wrong.

BONDS AND TAXES. - At the
coming election the public will again
be asked to vote several million dol
lars in bonds for city improvements.
This should remind the taxpayers
what taxes they had to pay this year.
In many instances it exceeded 20 per
cent more. While the increase is by
leaps and bounds the income on most
property is rather on the increase. It
is like paying good money for poor
returns.
Why do you vote for bonds? It is
the hobby of our administration at
most elections to encourage more
bonds and advocate lower taxation.
They seem to forget to tell the voters
that if they vote for bonds it means
more taxes. Both of the two parties
have a joker up their sleeve in the
way of bonds. If the bonds are voted
there is prospect for a good political
business; there are contracts to let;
contracts sometimes cause graft. 1t
would be wiser not to vote new addi-
tiOnal bonds until like amount of old
bonds are retired.
Why vote for improvements if con-
ditons don't justify it. It is like plac-
ing an additional mortgage on your
home every year.
Taxes would be less or more nor
NAL from year to year if the city was
managed the same as any other large
business enterprise, The larger the

THINGS NOT PUBLISHED
Every edition of the trust press
shows their bloodthirsty tendencies
in not telling anything about the nu-
merOus strikes, the labor troubles
and starving citizens. Instead every
page is full of preparedness.
Why don't they say what the pre-
paredness is for. 1t can't be for the
people, the workers; if that would be
true they would mention something
about the strikes, the poor starving
people getting wages barely. suffi-
cient to buy food. Why is this? Is
it that the plUtocrats have brains
enough to see that labor troubles
need more soldiers?
The Day Book should expose this
underground scheme to grind the
last bit of energy out of workers by
getting them to fight one another.

FIRE WRECKS

Loss

WYANDOTTE. Mich. March az
Fire Sunday afternoon destroyed
one-fourth OF the buildings OF the
Pennsylvania Salt Co. in Wyan
dotte. with loss estimated at $500,
900. Frequent explosions were fea'
lures OF the blaze. and the lives OF
iremen were continually endan.
gered by flying debris.
The fire started in the salt dry.
ing room OF the storage depart.
ment. and il gained considerable
Roadway before FIRE apparatus ar
rived.
Within an hour the flames spread
10 two adjoining departments. and
at 4 O'Clock. ali three were in ruins.
IL became necessary 10 appeal 20
Detroit for help. and Gre tug was
sent down the river aiding material
ly in quenching the flames.
Officers OF the company blame bad
wiring for the confagration. The
explosions. they say, were due TO
aoerylene gas. used FOR welding.
