BEST MEDIUM FOR PUBLICITY

Hugh Chalmers, head of the auto
mobile corporation of the same name,
remarked to the ad club that news
papers are the best medium of pub
lefty" and added that he docs not
place advertising copy with newspap-
ers because he agrees with their eul-
torial, but because they have circu-
lation and reach the people
The statement of the reason for
advertising through the papers is
sound statement and well expressed.
The fact that Mr.. Chalmers advertis-
es heavily through the press and is
successful in business adds the
weight and force Of expression to his
views.
The newspaper has proved itself
in strenuous competition with other
mediums of publicity to form the
most effective means of reaching the
public The intelligent advertiser
uses the paper without the slightest
regard to its political position or ed
ltorial expressions upon questions Of
public policy He buys advertising
space, not because the paper is of
this party or that sect, but because il
has a circulation among purchasers of
his goods He carries on his adver-
Using as he carries on his other bus
mess. He invests i'm advertising in
a paper because it promises good re-
.urns on his Investments Spokane

4 REVOLUTIONARY TALE

Colonel Edward NJ. House, known
as president Wilson's unofficial ad-
wiser, is said to be author of a novel
entitled Phillip Dru: Administra-
tor, published anonymously. The
publishers announcement mentions
this report and states further that
Colonel House has refused to deny it..
A recent article in the North Ameri-
can Review says the same. Whoever
the author may be, he has no need
to feel ashamed of his work. The
story is a tale of a revolution in the
United States led by Phillip Dru, who
becomes administrator and revises
the laws. Though he makes the mis-
take Of providing income and inher-
itance taxes, some wiser legislation is
told about in the following:
He directed that the tax on
realty, both in the country and
CITY, should be on the following
basis: Improvements on city prop
erty were to be taxed at one fifth
OF their value and the naked prom
erty in the country at two-thirds
OF its value. The fact that coun-
try property used for agricultur-
al purposes was improved should
no tbe reckoned. In otner words
If A had one hundred acres with
eighty acres of it in cultivation and
otherwise improved, and b had one
hundred acres beside him of lust
as good land but not i'm cultlva-
ton or improved, BIS land should
LI saXed as much as AS.

The one hundredth birthday ami

I'm cities and towns, taxation
was to be upon a similar basis.
For instance, when there was a lot
say, one hundred feet by one hun
dred feet with improvements up
on it worth three hundred thous-
and dollars, and there was another
lot of the same size and value, the
imrroyed lot should only be taxed
sixty thousand more than the un-
improved lot; that is both lots
should be taxed alike and the i'm
prOYement on the one should he as
sessed at sixty thousand dollars,
or one fifth of its actual value
This, Dru pointed out, would
deter owners from holding unim-
proved realty TO rthe purpose of
getting the unearned increment
made possible by the thrift of their
neighbors. In the country it
would open up land for cultivation
now lying idle, provide homes for
more people, cheaper the cost OF
living to all, and make possible
better school, better roads, and
better oportunity for the success
ful cooperative marketing of pro-
duets.
In cities and towi.s II would
mean a more HOMOGENEOUS popula-
ton, with better streets, better
sidewalks, better sewerage, more
convenient churches and cheaper
rents and homes As it was at that
home nor rent one near his work,
but must needs 20 to the outskirts
Of his town, necessitating loss of
time and cost of transportation,
besides sacrificing the obvious
comforts and cOnveniences of a
more compact population"
1t would have been better had ad-
Dru abolished all taxes
n improvements, incomes and in
together with all other
axes on labor, and taken the entire
entail value of land for public pur-
oses. BY the time the year 1920 is
ere, the date set i'm the book for the
evolution, the reforms told about
herein will hardly be considered rev
