Editor Morning Journal,
The question OF municipal owner

the world-old struggle between the
patrician and the plehan, great stress
being laid by the ants on the propo-
sition that some people Will have TO
pay more taxes because they own
some property and Others escape alto
lgethcr because they don't own any.
Tho same line of argument would
bar the income tax. the inheritance
tax, and most any other form Of rails

pays no taxes has no vote in the mat

Speakers at tonight's meeting included several of- ficials of state and city departments ministers, business men and representa- tives of women's organizations. A tel egram from Governor Pleasant indors- ing the movement and expressing re- gret at his inability to be present was read to the meeting. A committee was appointed to make final arrangements for the famine parade,' which was originated by members of the House. wives league and other womens or ganizations.

HER SIIDE--ANID HIS WHEN A MANS RESPONDENT
zoE RECKLEY

Davids face frightened. He was about to say something as tribute 10 her, but did not. and, putting his arm about her. he let the action speak the more personal message. But the relief to him of being able to unour- den his worries on his wife and yet be absolved of the suspicion of weak ness helped to tighten his depression.
 What sends 8. man down in the dumps most of all, dear. is 10 fall down on the job of moving his wife to Easy street. Here l am nearly 50' and here you are headed not for but away from Easy street.
 Then think back to the men who started with me and the men who ran abreast of me. There are mighty few of them who aren't farther up the road to comfort and success than ]. realize, of course, that It hasn't been my fault, or inefficiency entirely. But when a mans down for a time, no matter how the brick came to be where he ripped, he's inclined to lay the blame to himself and gloom over it.
 You joked about tombstones clut- tering my landscape. Well, dear. I can almost see them. Each of them Is the tombstone of a decade in my life from now on. Here has passed away David Temples thirtieth year. And nothing much good to say about it. The same about the fortieth and the fiftieth-only worse. Tn all sin cerity, dear, I see nothing but strug- gle and not much else ahead. And it's not the vision to inspire one who has fallen to the foot of the hill and has got to gird his Joins for the up climb again.
 You've brought this funeral ora ton on yourself, Cora, dear, by in- sisting on your oneness with me. Now these are the things I tell myself These are the mountains that loom up before a man who's down below and make the going seem heavy. If you know any crosscuts or roundabouts, teach me them, little comrade, and then I'll give the lie to the man who wrote
 "'He travels the fastest who travel
 alone.'"

 General industrial conditions lost Eone of their long continued buoy ancy. The average of prices for man ufactured steel and iron touched a new high level and the pressure of demand was strikingly illustrated in the November statement of the Uni ted States Steel corporation, which dis closed an increase of over million tons in unified orders bringing the total up to a new record.
