THE SMALL TOWNS IN lowAAso ILLINOIS

When one roe back to the small
town in northern Illinois where he lived
thirty years or more ago.. he finds or
fails to find many things that send him
home better satisfied with the small
towns of Iowa. Those little towns over
in Illinois are full Of rich men and
packed with wealth, filled with fine
houses and good people. But the fine
houses lack electric lights and the
sewerage most progressive little Iowa
towns demand and are content to re-
main without paving on their main
streets when practically all Iowa towns
of all sizes are laying pavement. The
people are the same people as those Of
Iowa. but neither the farms MOI the
small towns display the progressive
ness and snap that characterize the
average Iowa small town community Of
late years.
OF course many residents of the small
Illinois town are retired persons who
have come to the town to live on their
rentals and investments. That makes
a difference. There are more of them
in Illinois than in Iowa. But the aver
age retired man in Iowa demands on
veniences like electric lights and sew
erage.
Iowa or Illinois, the small town
needs to sit up and take notice. h
more progressive it is the more pro-
gressive class Of retired persons it at
tracts. The little town may as we'll
keep it's own progressive retired farm
ers and others as to see them go to the
bigger towns. A progressive retired
farmer is a resident to be welcomed
and even sought by n good town. This
general talk Of the retired farmer as a
spoke in the wheel applies to the other
class that is content to deprive them
selves of modern conveniences If they
are to help pay for them.
The little town grows largely by &C
erection Of retired people from the
farms and business who desire to live
we'll and quietly. If it offers the same
personal comfort that the large towns
afford it will keep its W and attract
others. Men and women prefer to live
close to and among their old n~eighbors
and friends.
This is 1916 and not 1896. People
to live in the Twentieth CEN
fury. those who are Twentieth GEN.
fury so propose. If we are to keep our
own and attract the most progressive
of other communities we must furnish
the goods they demand. II our frlends
of the small towns in Illinois would
take a tour Of inspection among sim
liar towns in Iowa they might learn
much that would be to their advantage.

THE COAL. FAMINE.

Inc coal famine is something WnlcH
happens every winter, just as the ulti-
mate consumer is beginning to accum-
ulate Christmas presents and chill
.blains.
Owing to the unpleasant habits OF
the climate In the northern states OF
our great country, people fnd it neses-
sary to start furnace Ares in the latter
part Of September and keep themial;vS
until June Is, when. as a rule, the fur
mace is allowed to expire and nothing
is burned except gasoline and cleo
tricity. Every ear q lot of new hot
air furnaces are sold to people who never
had one before and are unable to APP
preciate their appetite for hard coal,
and this creates a new channel for the
use of coal and real religion. The main
reason for the annual coal famine,
however. is the European war, as 1t Is
necessary to heat nine-tenths of the
Russian army on foreign soil.
IT is a suspicious fact that a coal
famine never starts in to do business
except during cold weather. There are
lots of times every year when such a
famine could exist without creating any
comment or hard feeling. but it always
remains in the background until a
mans coal bin is as empty as Il city
church in August. How much better
1t would be if the coal famine would
come along in July, for instance, when
people can sleep III of doors with their
pores wide open and perspire with the
utmos freedom. We sometimes wonder

MORE FEpERAl TAXES comI1e.

Our people in these United States
must 0 be taxed for 100000 ore
revenue in order to meet the pending
deficit in the national treasury. That
bluff which was put up to Carranxa
and preparedness have taken vastly
more funds than can be raised by pres
ent taxes.
Another increase in the income tax
or a tax on teas, coffees and sugars
and perhaps an increase in import
duties may become necessary even un-
der a democratic administration. A
bond issue is being considered sut
bond for the purpose, of paying Wn-
ming expenses are about as unsound in
finance as borrowing money with
which to pay grocery bills.
This situation is serious from the
Wilson administrations standpoint. 1t
means thin picking for congressmen
who want $4,000 p~ostoffice buildings
in their districts. 1t means economy
all along the line and the president is
determined with his veto to see that
there Is economy.
Republicans are gingerly approach
ing the possibility Of seizing control of
the house for fear that they may get
under a democratic burden. More
taxes are sure to arrive.
The thing to do with the income tax
is to spread 1t out over more incomes.
In this way it will raise immense sums
without confscation and it will be d
safer tax for congress to handle when
it is paid by more voters. Congress-
men will become responsible to more
of our people.
The next best bet would be an in
crease of taxes on booze and obacco.
With the south in the saddle. at Wash
ington no new tax on tobacco can get
by, but new taxes on booze ought to be
considered. There is not much use is
suing bonds for the expense on the
Mexican border for that job is not yet
done and 1t may ever be Just begun.
We have nothing like the Panama
canal in the way of permanent i'm
provements to show for our money. A
wise man may go in debt for a house
or a farm because he has the farm to
show for his money. Neither nations
nor individuals are justified in passing
their current expenses on to somebody
else by borrowing money

living would be IL, instead of increased
individual income increased Individual
productivity were cultivated,
Here. of conrsc, is the real solution.
Thrift whtcf. saves money at the ex-
pense of adequate living is not thrift,
but extravaganza. But the II Of
thrift which saves time and strength,
u~tilizes them for productive purposes
instead of d;ssipating them in foolish
ness-that is thrift indeed.
Suppose the women's bridge club de-
voted its afternoon a fortnight to sew
ing for the household? 1t might adopt
some cooperative scheme, nor need
prizes be lacking. With a little intel
lis renee in it's direction it could be just
as entertaining and very III less
nerve wearing.
Suppose the man OF the house were
to spend less time at the movies and
use some OF his leisure time teaching
the children how to use tools. The
family which is skillful with its hands
about the work Of the house saves
much money. and adds pleasure to ex
istence as well as real wealth to the
household.
It's not too sOon to plan for a little
garden. In fact. a window garden may
be started now, providing experience,
and giving the kitchen garnishes.
There is scarcely an individual who
can not. by thinking a little. discover
some ~avocation which produces real
wealth at the same time that 1t rests
him from his regular work. The great
need of the country is for the kind OF
recreation hat adds to u vigor and
prosperity instead OF detracting from
them.

THEIR CREDIT STILL GOOD.
Fart Dodpp Messenger.

Great Britain and France, it is IN
nounced. are seeking to float mother
huge loan in the United States. The
money is to be used In establishing
credit for further purchases Of war
munitions.
The federal reserve board blocked a
move recently by English bankers and
J.. P. Morgan to negotiate a loan on
British unsecured short term notes in
this country. The principal objection
the board had to this oar was that 1t
might tie up a tremendous volume Of
funds in loans on which the bankers
could not realize readily. According
to the view Of the board, it was not 80
much a question Of the ability Of the
British to pay but a question of wheth-
er the British would pay when the real
money was needed here.
There will be difficulty in financing
this new loan. according tn bankers IN
this country. American and other Sc
curities Of the gilt-edge variety are to
be offered as collateral and this Is all
the American banks want. There is
plenty Of money in this country. 1t is
simply a question Of letting 1t out on
proper security.
The British still hold a great lot OF
american securities. It Is estimated
that it is several billions of dollars
worth. Then they have billions Of dol
lars invested in South America. This
will be offered as security for the new
loan. The British, quite naturally
would have preferred to get their loan
| without giving collateral. But they are
| going 10 give collateral and get the
money. And England has sufficient
collateral 50 there Is little danger tina,
she can not get all the money she needs
for some time.
And 1t must not be overlooked that
from a business view. the placing OF
this loan Is a good thing Tor the Unitct
States. As was pointed out when thu
last big loan was completed, these
countries are the best customers the
United States q ever had and they
are simply asking for credit. And
what business house will not extend
credit to its best customer?

AtMERdCANIzING ALIENS.

iiISo -.
The board Of education at Washing
ton has begun a campaign to make it
compulsory for non-Ens!!sh speaking
aliens to learn the English language.
OF course. the American spirit q not
wholly be implanted, by teaching X
language. There are a great many
people born in this country who stu
have more in common Nth the land OF
their race origin than with their ma.
tive country. But the chances Tor as
ximilation into the American spirit are
greatly decreased where a person Uses
only a foreign tongNe.sS
= Employers Of labor suffer from ina
bility Of employees to speak English.
TO get better work day by day, one
must appeal to brains, and arouse in
telligence. That can only be done by
careful explanations of the reason for
things and the philosophy OF the ma
terial substances that a man ihandles.
Signs, broken jargon of speech and
abuse never accomplish that.
When alien work people do make
an effort to acquire English. their ef-
fort should be recognized by employ
ers for its full value. The moment
aliens realize their pay envelope vii!

proficiency in our language. there Will
be more interest in acquiring our
