IN DEFENSE or BACHELORS
Proposition to Tax Single Men Has
Aroused Active Opposition of
Philadelphia Scribe.

One of those business mems aSSo-
Citations which so often are effective
as goads to drive municipal ambition
to the heights now invites the lifted
eyebrow by suggesting that tax of
two or three dollars a year be paid
upon every single man, remarks the
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The notion is rooted in injustice.
Obviously the business gentlemen are
married. The single man, especially if
he be young and thoughtless, is, about
the highest taxed citizen in the COM
munity. He is mamma for the laundrieS
and he pays as much to have his but
tons Sewed On--lOnely man that he is
AS some real estate owners put up
in formal taxes. He is the mystical
element which enables the restaurant
owners to pay high rents for expensive
quarters in the central sections of the
city, for he is politely robbed every
time he sits down to a desOlate meal.
Though he exist in his rooms as lone
somely as q chambered nautilus, yet
he is taxed to the hilt indirectly, since
it is from him that the overload of
the premises collects the money de-
manded by the house owner, and it is
a certainty that the man who really
owns the real estate doesn't pay his
taxes out of his profits.
The city should rather mix a little
philosophy with its taxation theories.
Thereby it might do double service
to the community. Special taxes
might be levied against the diamonds
worn at dansants, and especially on
the diamonds which obese red gentle
men wear on their little fingers at the
cabarets. Special taxation might go
down the line from that starting point
to take in fur coats, high hats, jeweled
slippers, the tenth highball, and the
other nonessentials SO plentifully in
evidence all about.

DISPOSED OF DREAD ENEMY
Remarkable Intelligence Shown by
Prairie Dogs in Buryino Rattle.
snake Alive.

1t would not seem a very easy thing
to bury snake alive, but that is what
an Oklahoma man saw some prairie
dogs do.
He was resting under tree when he
noticed comm0tion among some prai-
RE dogs near him. They would run
up to certain spot, peep at something,
and then seamper back. Looking more
closely, he saw 10 to 20 dogs about
q rattlesnake, which presently went
into one of the dogs holes.
No sooner had it disappeared than
the little fellows began to push in dirt,
evidently to fill up the hole. BY the
time they had pretty well covered the
entrance the snake stuck his head up
through the dirt, and every dog scam
pered off to q safe distance, all the
time barking.
The snake crawled to another hole
about rod distant, and went In. Then
forward came the dogs again. and all
went to work to push up earth to the
hole. This time they succeeded, and
completely covered the entrance. This
done they proceeded to beat the earth
down, employing their noses for this
purpose. When they had rendered the
earth quite hard they went away. The
observer examined their work, and was
surprised to find that they had packed
the earth in solid with their noses, and
had sealed the snake inside.

Paris reports that there is not win

troops returning from the front will
march beneath the Arc de Triomphe.

amusement Of paying high prices for
the ground on which the Carthagenians
were encamped.

Discussion as to the best names to
be given to women launching out into
new callings, continues to hold an hon
ored place amongst the topics of the
day in England. The debate on con-
ductress or conductorette is passed,
but another discussion has been raised
by farmer in Sussex. He advertised,
some time ago, for a "cowman or a
cowlady," and at once the matter was
taken in hand, says Christian Science
Monitor. 1t was contended that "cow-
lady," in any event, would not do, and
that "cowwoman" was ugly. An
earnest plea was accordingly made for
cowgirl" Whatever may be said as
to the superior merits of this last term
it is certainly true as one authority
points out, that the word need no more
connote ingenious youth-one objec-
ton against it-than does cowboy"

UNIVERSAL TRAINING.

Public opinion has gone forward with
long strides since the outbreak of the
European war. The discussion in con-.
gross over the continental arny plan
and the National Guard had an excel
lent educational effect upon public
opinion, says Washington Post. For the
first time the people reached an under
standing of the difference between com.
pulsory military service and univer-
sal military training. They found that
the latter might be as useful in times
Of peace as In times of war, giving ALI
young men the benefits of military dis
cipline and physical training. The bal
lot taken by the United States cham
Der of commerce shows $50 votes in
favor of, and only Sc opposed to, a
system of universal training. Forty
three states were represented in that
ballot. The business men In "a of
these states-at least all the business
men affiliated with the chambers of
commerce and boards of trade, work.
ing in conjunction with the national
chamber-voted unanimously in favor
Of military training. In 10 others the
vote ranged from more than 100 to /
to 2 to 1. This overwhelming testi-
mony from that section of opinion
watch is not only conservative. but is
also closely concerned with the actual
cost and with the economic problems
which go with any system of universal
military training, must inevitably have
its effect upon congress.

One-third of the farmers of New
York state would be better off finan-
cially if they would place what money
they have at 5 per cent, and hire
out as farm laborers, according to the

AGA. Another third of the farmers are
just about breaking even, while the re-

SAN LUIS DRAINAGE
PLAN CONSIDERED
Kansas City Men Have Scheme to
Reclaim 100000 Acres of
Seep Land

A plan has been submitted to the
state land board by a group of Kan
sas City capitalists for draining 300,-
600 acres of scep land in the San
Luis Valley, and thereby reclaiming
the land for settlers
For some time the federal govern
ment has had under contemplation
the building of a large canal from the
San Luis lake to the Rio Grande
river In this way the seep land of
the valley would be drained, but it is
probable the project will not be car
ried out for some time.
The new plan which has been sug-
gested is to turn the San Luis lake
into great catch pan, where owners
of adjoining land could dump their
water after draining it, A large
area in this way would be converted
into an artificial lake, which event
"ually would have to be drained off
by canal to the Rio Grande river.
In the meantime, however, the ad
Joining 100000 acres would be nut
into condition for immediate use.
The land board has taken the pro
position under advisement and if.
after inspection of the plans pre-
sented, they are considered feasible,
the state will cooperate in the re-
clamation project.

R ROADS
WORK fewer men
Western Roads Hold Record
per 100 Miles of Line.
Eastern Roads Employ Largest
Number-SOuthern Next.

Railways in the western district OF
the United States apparently are able
to operate satisfactorily with far fewer
men per hundred miles of road than
are lines in the eastern and southern
districts. Statistics compiled by rail-
ways of the United States show that at
no time during the last ten years have
roads in the western division employed
as many men in proportion to their
mileage as have the roads in the other
two divisions of the country.
Western roads hit the high mark in
f19O1 when 544 men We're employed
for every hundred miles of line. There
was q big drop the next year, how
! ever and the average fell to 44S- Then
it began to climb and in 1910 reached
the $50 mark. Another slump came
the next year and not until 1913 were
more than 500 men, per hundred
miles, employed on western lines.
Roads in the southern district near
hundred miles than have western
lines. Their record year was 1913.
when SIS men were employed per
hundred miles. During each of the
last three years their lead over west
ern roads has been heightened.
Short Lines Responsible.
Shorter lines are responsible for the
lead of southern railways. While
293.S50 men were employed by roads
in the southern district in 1914. west
ern roads employed 653,634 during the
same year. Practically the same ratio
has been maintained during the last
ten years excepting in 1910, the only
year in which western roaoss employed
more men per hundred miles of line
than were employed on southern rail-
ways During that year 1912 men
drew pay from western lines as OPP
posed to 223. 257 on southern lines.
Eastern roads hold the record for
number of men employed per hundred
miles of line, there being no time dur
