struction. 1t does not in any way
declare it a misdemeanOr for a per.

does not charge him with a public Of

fair intendment the statute applies to
all architects. But such is not the
letter Of the statute. h To obtain H.
cense to do business under the statute
the architect must apply for registra-

fee Of SIC. 90, a certificate fee Of $4,000
and an annual fee Of $1,000, and pay
the expense of recording the certifi-
cate in the office OF the secretary Of
state. While such an occupation tax
may be we'll. enough for those who
choose to pose as licensed archi-
tects,' the statute would be clearly

tax on prOperty-nOt on men or on IN

sary and limited expenses of the

Then by Section IA, 1t is provided:
The legislature assembly shall pro-
vide for raising revenue sufficient to
defray the expenses Of the state for
each year, not exceeding 4 mills on

OF all property and also sufficient
sum to pay interest on the state debt.

With The Editors
CONSUMERS UNITED STORE co.


If the acceptance by The Chronicle
of the full-page advertisement of the
Consumers United Stores company
which appears in this issue suggests
thought of criticism, we have only
to remind them that advertising
space is our stock in trade in pre-
cisely the same sense that merchan-
disc is the stock in trade of the mer-
chant or that knowledge of the law
and of court practice is the stock in
trade of the lawyer. And if this re-
hinder is not satisfactory, it will
have to suffice, in any case.
For itself, The Chronicle entertains
grave doubts both as to the equit-
ableness and workability of what has
come to be known as the "Townley
chain store scheme" But that doubt
does not have the slightest bearing
upon the right of farmers to invest
their money in the enterprise. OF
course, farmers owe it to themselves
to investigate the proposition care
fully, and not to take for granted the
plausible representations Of solicit
tors. After all, the provisions Of the
store contract itself rather than the
ardent overtures Of the promoters is
what counts.
That The Chronicle was offered
this advertising patronage is, we take
It generous recognition Of its earnest
desire to deal fairly with the farmers
and with their efforts, through such
channels q appeal to them. 70 better

This week the judges have made no
default. Every day we have heard ar
guments in three of four cases. 1t is
my duty to examine the records or
every case before it Is argued and
% ring the bell when any lawyer at
tempts to argue immaterial points or
to mis- state the facts or the law. A
few lucid remarks do often relieve
the monOtOny OF an argument and in
duce clearness and brevity. Young
lawyers do some time come to court
with set speech on fundamental
principles OF the law with extracts
from the sayings OF numerous judges.
Then we may give them a gentle hint
that we know all about 1t and do not
play second fiddle to any other judges.
The best argument lawyer can make
is to state in few words and in proper
consecutive order the facts, the law
md the controlling principles of the
case. 81,
The following opinion is on the
right of the legislature to tax the bust
ness of an architect, a carpenter. a
lawyer or a clergyman. You will note
that every tax must be levied for a
public purpose and not to take mon
ey from one and give it to another.
Also that every law imposing tax
must state the object of the tax 50
as to show that the levy Is made for
4 public and proper purpose. -

STILL PLAYING THEM FOR
FOOLS

Won Capelle, Germany's minister of
the navy, is "a cheerful little cuss,"
as Artemus Ward would put it. He
tells the reichstag that the U-boats
are doing a bigger business than
ever, that Americas shipyards are all
merely on paper and that the allies
economic difficulties have been in
creased by Americas entrance into
the war.
1t is the business Of German min
ister to fool the reichstag and it may
be the duty of the reichstag to be
fooled but the world at-Iarge pretty
thoroughly realizes that the issue Of
this war depends upon just one ques-
ton, this:
Can the entente powers hold out
for six months?
Six months may not be necessary
put that's the limit Of the necessity
For q year our contribution to the
war has been largely ION paper"
comparatively speaking. We were a
nation of peace-lovers. Moreover, we
we're a nation of profit hunters-all
Of US; those not after 40 per cent
dividends were after big increases in
wages, as was natural, just and prop
er. For such a nation 10 even get
start in war was hard. Fighting is
the opposite of peace. Giving-out is
the opposite of golng-after.
But we've got the start; Within
the next few, months we will be turn
ing out armies, ships, food, munitions,
guns, war money at rate that will
astonish the world, particularly Ger
many. Moreover, it will be remark
able and contrary to past experience
and American character if, beside our
extraordinary production Of the ordi-
nary war means, we don't turn out
some extraordinary methods and ma
chimes for prosecuting war, to the
further establishment of the world,
particularly German, for, American
genius directed along special lines
has always produced wonders.
We may have started slowly, may
have wasted much and made many
blunders, but we have done much,
and, given time to apply our sum
total, we'll alter the aspect Of affairs
in Europe, Asia and Africa, SO sure
as God rules and right is might!
But we wouldn't say these things
were there any possibility that Won
Capelle or other German autocrats
would read and believe them. The
bigger the enemy's belief that we are
not seriously in it, the harder and
quicker that enemy is going to fall.
Go to it, Won Capelle! Fool EN-!
Fool EN-! You're fooling nobody
else.

THE METHOD OF THE MADNESS

: Major l.. C. Eckenfelder of the
French high commission explains the
method in the Teuton madness most
clearly and it must be admitted that
it has strong chance of winning, in
the present drive, if the German re-
sources are sufficient. Major Ecken-
fielder says in the Chicago Tribune:
ION one side, the Germans have
estimated that they would spend so
many hundreds of thousand lives of
their soldiers to break through the
British and the French armies. BY
the way, you remember that two
months ago the German press pub
lshed in cold blood that they would
go to Paris at the cost Of 100000 Ger
mans killed.
"On our side, the only policy which
has been followed 50 far is to try to
kin as many Germans as possible and
exhaust the strength Of the German
array before a certain point would be
reached. 1t seems incredible that a
modern army would behave like q
cloud of grasshoppers; nevertheless
every one must admit the fact that
the Germans are using the element
airy tactics of the grasshoppers.
According to the last events, the
Germans attack a position in this
way:
"They calculate how many divisions
must be sacrificed to keep the allies
machine guns, rifles, and cannons busy
to the moment when those different
weapons will be red hot and out Of
order or until the supply of ammuni-
ton runs out.
If they estimate that it will take
the sacrifice of three divisions, they
will launch six divisions to the as
sault, hurting that human flood in
waves at an interval OF loO or ~,
yards.
e cot course, before launching the
attack, they make preparation by
terrific bombardment during one or
two days, sometimes more, to destroy
our trenches, cut our communication
with the rear, stop the arrival Of our
reinforcements, and then, when the
waves begin to move towards our po-
sitian, they are preceded by q moving
basrage, like wall Of steel. Of explo-
siena u fire and smoke.

uatioa .of the allied troops defending
their positions.

right to acquire, possess and protect
property and to pursue and obtain

ions are all contravened by the act in
