THE CITY BEAUTIFUL MOVE
MENT

Someone remarked the other day
when a certain proposal OF local i'm
provement was being discussed, tha
beauty is a luxury. We cant af
ford It." Was he right?
Here is one plain fact, and any
experienced real estate man can verl-
fy It from his own observation. Take
a street Of plain, simple houses, with
no attempt whatever at ornaments
tion Of any kind, just naked wood,
bricks and cement. Suppose some
morning this spring the residents
should get together and decide that
the street looked too bare and com
monplace.
Suppose they all agree to spend
$50 in planting shrubs and trees,
grading and sowing grass seed. Let
them also agree to spend a few hours
a week in keeping the place neat and
in planting and tending flowersa
What would be the effect? Com
plete results, Of course, would not
show the first year. The second sea-
son the hard angles between earth
and walls would be softened by a
nest of Towering shrubbery. In a
few years more the young trees, par
ticularly II well selected with some
quick growers, would provide some
shade and green.
The selling price of those places
would pick up as soon as the shrubs
got started. When the trees get a
little bigger, the whole character Of
that street would have changed. 1t
would suggest culture. care, refine
ment. People from other districts
would look at II longingly and would
snap up empty houses. Eventually
a place that cost $4,000 would be
likely to sell for $4,000 to $4,000,

BEING BROKE IS AN AMERICAN
DISEASE

We do not know just what the per
capita wealth Of the United States
may be. but did it ever happen to
strike you that most Americans are
chronically broke?
In spite OF all the optimistic re-
ports Of the savings banks and the
postal savings institution and the
building and loan companies, most
Americans are always broke" The
majority of savings banks and postal
savings depositors are foreigners.
Foreigners have cultivated intensive
living. They have conserved the en-
ergy Of agricultural lands; they have
intensified their habits of living; they
have an inborn faculty for thrift.
And why? Because the necessity of
saving has been beaten into them in
a stern schooling-poyerty!
In the homes OF many native Amer
leans thrift is scorned because it is
considered a sort OF neighborhood
disgrace TO be poor. II Willie Jones'
papa gives him a dime any time he
wants it, Johnnie Smiths daddy has
just naturally got TO do the same.
Willie and Johnnie straightaway ex-
change this money for luxuries and
repeat the touch" the next day.
The thoughtless expenditure of
small sums of money is one of the
chronic symptoms of the American
disease-of being broke.
And being broke" is not voca-
tional malady; 1t attacks the man-in-
business-for- or-himself Just as 1t fastens
itself upon the humblest wage Garner,
only that its effect is not compara-
tive. Somewhow, 1t seems that the
middle-class worker--and we cannot
deny that in democratic America we
deliberately cultivate a certain class
distinction, determined by ones earn
ing (and spending) capacity-is the
victim Of this disease.
Great honors await the scientist
who discovers the germ OF improvi-
dence and a curative serum therefor.

RURAL CREDITS BILL

Both the senate and house have
passed a rural credits bill. The two
bills will possibly be turned over to
a conference committee, where the
differences will be compromised and
the bill will undoubtedly soon be-
come a law.
There are many differences be-
tween the senate and house bills to
be adjusted. The senate measure
would capitalize each farm loan bank
at $500, 900, the houses at $3.50, 900.
The senate would authorize loan
associations with unlimited liability,
the house would not. The senate
would limit loans to so per cent, with
no recognition OF Improvements; the
house proposes to grant 900 per cent
on land values and 20 per cent on
value on permanent insurable i'm
provements.
The senate proposes that no loan
shall be made II the three members
of the local committee are not unani-
nous in their appraisement; the
house would require a majority re-
port OF the committee. The senate
makes the minimum loan 5000; the
house, OF 800. The senate would
charge borrowers 10 per cent in
terest on all defaulted payments; the
house would charge only contract
rates. The senate would require
local associations to make good all
defaults within 30 days after notice
from a land bank; the house would
provide special reserve to protect
associations.
The senate bill requires advance
on the principal in sums
OF 800 or multlples and the house
s25 and multlples. The senate makes
the actual earning power Of the land
a principal factor and the house
makes the agricultural value the prln-
clpal basis OF appraisement.
Under the senate bill local asso-
Citations would be required to hold
25 per cent OF net earnings as re-
serves and might refuse TO declare
any dividends to borrowers, while the
house would require all net earnings
to be paid to borrowers as dividends.

because OF the reputation and desir-
ability of the neighborhood for resi-
dence.
People who say that beauty is a
luxury know very little about hui
man nature or business. A beautified
neighborhood is accepted as a sign
OF higher scale Of living. People
feel that in moving into it they are
improving social station, not to speak
of the pleasure to the eye which
beauty always gives.
Is not the city beautiful movement
good business investment?

Whittier Are We Drifting?-The
Troubles Of Capitalistic Church.
(By Henry G. Gilmore.)

(By Henry G. Gilmore.)
Startling facts, which by no means
paint an enviable picture for the con-
temptation of sober-minded people,
have just reached me from the effete
east, where the inroads of high So
ciety' and, with it, the dominating
influences that follow in the wake OF
accumulated wealth have asserted
themselves with poignancy that sets
one reflecting whether, after all,
there is any true religion in the land.
With the thought that the average
individual is drawn to church for the
purpose of being musically and intel
lectually entertained, plus all that
may follow in the way of effecting
social and commercial alliances, one
is staggered at the sight of such
scripture texts as follow-and all
they INDEPENDENTLY suspended
sometimes from the walls of the sa-
cred edifices themselves: God is a
Spirit and they that worship Him
must worship Him in spirit and in
truth" "The Lord is in His holy tenn
pie; let all the earth keep silence" !"
and other like passages. These clear
" set forth that meek spirit, con-
trite heart and devout reverence for
the great Creator of the universe
should be the chief motive for the
assembling of ourselves, to render
thanks for the great benefits that we
have received at His hands and other
Acknowledgements of His gracious will
and favor. All of which is in strik-
ing contrast to the worldly situations
continually confronting us in the pub
lie services of the church and private
devotions in the home.
Recent occurrences at the aristo-
cratic Episcopal church of Newark,
N. j., suddenly throw into the lime
light the humiliating spectacle of a
rector being reproved by his vestry

Need Of Proper Publicity.

Editor Tidings: Recently, in the
Portland Oregonian, there was an
item the matter Of which was fur
nished by gentleman who had been
In Ashland, telling Of what had been
done by the way of developing Lithia
Park and of the bringing in of the
waters from the various springs. The
item was in an inconspicuous place in
the back part of the paper On the
front page of the same issue, or OF
one preceding it by day or so, there
was telegraphlc item under the Ash
land date line, which told how a petit
tion was being circulated here for the
recall of Mr.. Greer from the springs
water commission.
The latter item was sent from here
as a matter of news about question
that is of little interest outside of this
city except that 1t intimates the posi-
billty of the downfall Of man, and is
of no value to this community al
though 1t will be read by hundreds,
while the former item, contributed by
one who felt an enthusiasm that

WIRELESS OPERATOR HERE FROM MEXICAN
 PUNITIVE FORCES
Son of Review Foreman Visits Parents for First Time Since
 U. s. Troops Left Border to Put an End to Pancho Villa.

James Combs, son of J. R. Combs. foreman of the Reviews composing room, and a wireless operator in the United States Army, is visiting his parents in Bisbee from his present station at Colonia Dublan, Chihuahua.
 High hopes, according to the signal corps man, are entertained by the forces of Uncle Sam, now in Mexico, that an order for the withdrawal of the forces from Mexico will be issued at an early date. He says, however. that the common understanding is to the effect that such an order will not be issued until the middle of NOvem- Der.
 Combs tells many interesting stories of his work as a wireless operator during the first part of the expedition. He was stationed at Culbertson's ranch on the New Mexico-Chihuahua border, when the order was issued to move. With Col. Dodd's command. of the Seventh Cavalry, the signal corps com pany, to which he was attached, struck into the desert mountains of western Chihuahua.
 Of conditions in the war stricken Mexican state, upon the arrival Of the United States soldiers, Combs story is old. He merely reiterated what has been told many times before. condi- tions unbelievable to the ordinary mind.
 Speaking of present conditions. hot ever. he says that in the neighbour hood of the American expeditions line of march, the Mexican population, the Chinese merchants and restaurant keepers and others. are waxing fat on the real silver brought into the coun- try by the troops of the north.
 Young Combs expects to stay in Bisbee several days and then return to Columbus from which point he will go to Colonis Dublan and rejoin his signal corps unit.
