The Republican Policy.

With Congress now at work and
the chieftains comforting at Wash.
ingtoD, the country begins to get
some idea what line of policy the
Republican majority proposes to
establish. A number of very sig
nificant indications have already
appeared One of these is the an,
nouncement of Republican leaders
that they will favor the elimination
of the luxury taxes.
Now on what ground do they
make any such propositions as
this? They ought not to burden
the country with any more bond is
sues. They must realize that these
debts not merely have to be paid
in full, but that they involve a
heavy charge in taxes each year for
interest. all of which must come out
of the pockets of the people And
if they do not propose to raise this
money by luxury taxes, where will
they eet.it? 1t is not likely they
will propose to tack any more on
incomes?
These new luxury taxes have not
aroused any serious protest. The
man who pays $500 for a pair Of
shoes scarcely thinks of the 20 cents
additional he must pay for the tax
1t is an absolutely fair assessment
because it comes on the people who
can best afford to pay it
And if any of these people fee
they can't afford it. they have theil
very easy redress. That is simpl J
to come down to the level of ordi'
nary folks. and buy the class O
stuff that appeals to the great ma
jority of the people
The Republican leaders. in THU
proposal. are showing their eve
present tendency to consider legis
lation from the viewpoint of people
of wealth. They hear the mile
grumblings of their rich neighbors
who are slightly diseruntled owe
these new imposts, and ignore tn
sufferings and struggles of the pool
They would better think twice an
many times before any speedy re
peal of a class of taxation that is s,
wholly fair. so little burdensome.

High Cost Of Speeding.

Never drive your car at high
speed over any road, much less a
rough and slippery one, says j. F.
George, local dealer in Chevrolet
passenger cars and trucks. The
slight gain in time saved will not
offset the liability of an accident
nor the pounding and racking to
which the car is subjected. Usually
the time saved is unimportant
when figured in dollars and cents.
The resulting repair bills which in
time are sure to follow, are never
unimportant:
Il hes been demonstrated. that
the motorist who drives his car at
an excessive speed pays much
more per mile for gasoline, oil and
tires than the one who is more con-
sentative
In addition, q car which is driven
at high speeds all the time is in the
repair shop at frequent intervals.
which adds to the cost per mile of
operation
1t is not the question of how
many miles are covered in given
time that counts. but the number
of miles of useful travel that can be
obtained at the least cost for fuel.
oil, tires and repairs.
In times of emergency when to
stop suddenly is absolutely neces-
sary. remember the speed at which
you are travelling combined with
the road surface may spell safety
or disaster for you, the occupants
and your car. One cannot always
observe closely road surfaces when
travelling at high speed; the necessi-
ty of watching the road for ahead
prevents So avoid excessive
speed. is a rule to be observed.
When. approaching a turn. slow
down. Some one else may be trav-
cling in an opposite direction. Have
, your car under absolute control SO
that stop may be made quickly
and within q few feet.
. Observe the rules of the road.
Have due respect for those who are
using the same highways, remem'
bering that courtesy and considera-
ton to others will always win fol
you the same return,

Causes Of Fires.

A report Of fires in the state of
Illinois for the month of April show
ed that the great majority of fires
are due to few prominent causes.
Out of 1853 fires thus reported, 322
came from sparks on roofs; 81 from
overheating of chimnys, f1ues, etc;
los from stoves. furnaces. and their
pipes; and 131 from matches and
shocking
With an enormous fire loss going
on all the time, people ought to be
more careful about these causes
which start so large proportion Of
fires. The number starting from
sparks on roofs is startling and
should be a warning. People who
cover buildings with slate and other
fire proof material, avoid one cause
of worry, and probably save money
in the long run.
From the number of fires that
start from over hot heaters, it is
evident that many buildings are
wrongly constructed. Wood is al
lowed to come too closely to pipes.
Builders ought to be ashamed to
put up houses and leave such haz,
ards as this unprotected. If wood
is to be placed next such heat con.
ductors, it should be carefully cover,
ed with non. combustible material
Many people will throw a lighted
match into waste basket or box
of infiammable refuse. 1t may
show no sign of fire for hours. and
then break out in the middle of the
night. Stores where packing waste
is coming in all the time are cen
ter of danger. II takes a stor,
keeper some time to keep all thi
flimsy stuff cleaned up. But i
everyone would do it, the INSURANCE
on business property would be mucl
less.
Probably the number of fires
greater where people do not owI
their homes. The occupant of rent
ed property is apt to have a Nv
should worry" attitude. The result
must be to increase the cost c
rents. Landlords will insist on a re
turn sufficient to pay them for tax
ing the risk of careless tenants. N
doubt some of the people OF Monro
City are careless in all these respect
and some OF them will live to r.
greet 1t.

UNIQUE Missouri Suit.

A suit Unique ia the annals of
legal circles of the State and a de-
cision in which will set precedent
for similar suits in the State, is one
in which Mrs. Oma Bradley, 40
years old, has made an application
for a widows allowance from the
estate of her husband, j. R. Bradley.
He was killed at Eldorado Springs.
April 4, and Mrs. Bradley is allege d
to have been an accessory before

The granting of the allowance
was protested by Floyd Jacobs,
public administrator of Jackson
County, on the ground that persons
responsible for the death of another
cannot benefit from such death.

Americans Worship Money.

The world. wide impression of
America has been expressed by the
phrase the Almighty Dollar" The
people of this country have com
monty been regarded as nation of
money seekers
President Wilson spoke up against
this conception, in his address few
days ago before the French Academy
OF Moral and Political Science. He
Admitted that the United States
had devoted itself to material enter
prises with extraordinary success
But he claimed that underlying all
that there is deep sense of justice
and humanity.
A sperficiaI observer could easily
get the impression that American
thought is centered on money The
conversation in clubs and homes
relates very largely to dollars. Peo-
pie spend and enormous amount OF
time talking over schemes for money
making, and how much this or that
person earns
Most people now look back with
regret at the way the United States
during the first three years of the
war. devoted itself to making money
out of the sufferings of Europe
While every principle of right, jus
tice, and humanity was being trampl
ed down into dust and blood. Amer.
lea, like the priest and the Levite
of old, passed by on the other side
until it appeared that its own rights
we're being trampled upon.
