Commenting on the demand for re-
form in taxation made by President
Wilson in his annual message to con-
gress, the Detroit News truthfuIly
says: The administration will greatly
strengthen itself with the people If it
win avail itself of such opportunities
as offer to evidence sincerity in its
avowed desire to effect reforms of
this kind. And it is not at all under
the necessity of awaiting the rather
slow processes of legislation. There is
nothing to hinder the president from
using the authority he already pos
sesses to put the brakes on reckless
expenditures. to curb the departments
OF government in their tendency to
secure each for itself the maximum of
appropriations without regard for the
mounting general budget and to make
sure that such taxes as are collected
are expended economically and wisely
Power now rests in the hands of the
executive to effect noteworthy reforms
in these directions,

QUITE PERSONAL, INDEED.

For over five years, now, 1 have
been writing these little talks every
day. My business is not that of a
writer. 1 am business man, at the
head of my own business. ] started
writing at the suggestion OF friend.
1 worked my way thru high school
and college and came to Chicago sew
eraI years ago to carve my fortune.
I began at the bottom and worked my
way up-you see. 1 ran an elevator
at the inspiring salary OF three dollars
a week!
I had my ups and downs with q
vengeance, for outside the very nature
of the job. was only paid monthly
which was rather discouraging. But
one day / walked out of the elevator

passenger.
Now, run a business and help en-
tertain about seventy five million
folks daily. thru a newspaper syndi-
cate. It's a wonderful business and I
love it. But the happiest thing l do
is to write these little talks-between

MouLon Musings
BY ROY X. MoULTON.
Sizing Up the Cosrnic Urge.

Sizing Up the CosInic Urge.
Contentment lies. in the opinion of
some, in being privileged to pick to
pieces that which has been well done
by another.
The face value of a dollar Is now al
most as much as the interest on it
used to be.
The news that phone companies are
going to have service bureaus is en-
couraging.
per cent beer won't have much to his
credit to be notable for.
The economic situation seems to be
overcrowded.
All the political towards" should
be lined UP against a wall and given
a plunge bath of publicity.
Ticket speculating" is not that-it's
certainty.
How We Have Spent Our Life.
We are sc years of age and this Is
how we have spent our time:

Six months sleeping.
Nine years lodging bill collectors.
Two years waiting for trains.
Three years waiting for wife to get

Two years chewing tough beefsteak.
Four years looking for jobs.
Six months working.

Many who were loud in their de-
mand that the rich be made TO pay
the cost of the war. now are just as
loud in th,ir denunciation of the ex-
cess profits tax. But it is better late
than never in getting right on the tax
proposition. Most people have known
all along who was paying for the war.
a tax OF any kind usually can be
shifted by everybody except the ult-
mate consumer. 1t is he who is pay
ing the cost Of the war.
