WHY NOT TAX PARASITES?

Why not an income tax on aiens-GH aliens?
The tax should be a graduated one on a scale that would not pinch
the poor day laborer too hard, but which would put a big crimp in the
income of the big fish.
Such a tax would be no more than just. Because no foreigner
is making his home under the Stars and Stripes unless he is getting
value received in some form II other.
And yet there re thousands of aliens in the United States here
solely for what they can get who are avoiding giving in exchange for
this great privilege a single cent OF a single thought to the welfare of
the land that has given them every material and spiritual thing they ever
possessed.
They have avoided becoming citizens, because that would involve
assuming the duties and responsibilities of a citizen. They are hOrding
their savings or sending them across the seas, and many of them even
hope to carry their worn-out carcasses back to defraud the land they
have exploited from even the poor fertiizing value of their bones.
Perhaps not every alien is ungratetul for the blessings bestowed
upon him. 1t may simply be a matter of sentimen that constrains him
to cling to the land of his birth. But these kind certainly would be only
too glad to pay in form of money what they cannot pay in service as
citizens.
And the other knd-wel they should be made to cough up; and
if they don't like It they will know very we'll what to do; and the
quicker the better.
You have heard the motion.
All in favor of making the alien pay his way by a special income
tax, say AYE"

German Children
Still Being Drilled
By Military Officers

BERLIN, Nov. l - ASSOCIATED
ress)-Charlottenburg scholars in
the higher schools are being trained
for two hours in the afternoon in the
art of using machine guns, hand
grenades and rifles, according to a
Charlottenburg citizen who writes to
the Peoples Gazette, the popular edi-
ton of the Tageblatt.
The writer declares that during the
past few weeks he has had repeated
opportunity to witness the training in
a military sense of children between
IL and 16 years of age, on a big field
in Charlottenburg.
The training was carried out in the
same way as during the best days of
the imperial regime. The man in
charge was a lieutenant, and non-com-
missioned officers conducted the train
ing. with the use of all the military
curse and command terms used in the
old army.
The Peoples Gazette appeals to
Minister of Education Haenisch,
who is responsible for the upbring-
ms of youth" to investigate and elimi-
nate what it calls a "~scandalous situa-
ton"
The Independent Socialist news
paper Freiheit had a similar story of
hand grenade and machine gun in
%struction recently. Although it was
printed co~nspicuously, no attention
was paid to it by either the police or
the Ministry of Education. The PEG.
pies Gazette asks whether the author
tiles cannot, or will not, answer

FAITH IN ONES FELLOW MAN

A prospectus charging upon the demand for fruit products
throughout the world, and upon Hawaiis potential ability to supply
this demand at a big profit, has been received during the past few days
by a good many Maui people.
The booklet is accompanied by a subscription blank for stock in
the company, which presumably is an island corporation, but of which
few persons on Maui have ever heard.
The company may be absolutely sound, its proposition may be guilt
edge, but no one will be justified in investing in it on the showing it
makes through its prospectus.
There isn't a line to indicate who is back of the proposiion-not
a single persons name appearing from cover to cover. There isn't
a line to indicate that the company has a bean in way of assets, where
it intends to operate how it plans to go about it, capitalization of the
company, where incorporated or by whom.
In fact most all of the things a person ought to know before max
ing an investment are conspicuous by their absence. Investors are
asked simply to send their money to a certain office in Honolulu and
presumably to trust in heaven that they will ever hear from it again.
We strongly suspect however that the proposition is better than
its own printed matter would indicate; but simply for the reason that
no professional crook would ever make such an amateunsh job of his
bait for suckers.

Hawaii is once more gloating over what her legislators succeeded
in drawing down in way of appropriations from the last legislature.
She has good cause to chortle for the grand total is 81, 46,40O, of which
more than 100000 was from general fund revenues and advances.
The balance was from the loan fund.
Nobody begrudges Hawaii any of the good things that have come
her way. The only point in mentioning it is to call attention to the
fact that they didn't come of their own accord. The people of the
Big Island are notorious scrappers among themselves, but they have a
way of getting together when they want something and going after
ii as though they really meant it. The results are apparent.
If you received a letter from an unknown correspondent who gave
his address as-"Hul, Wood, S. o., what would you make of it? But
do you suppose your own address is any more ineligible to a mahhini
when you give it observation-disclosures, Maui, Y. H."
OF course your correspondent would not give such an address, but
instead would write it-"Hul, Wood Co., O." And likewise yours
would be much more understandable to him if you sad-"Maui Co.,
Hawaii" It is a sure sign of provTnciahsm when a person takes it for
granted that all creation mders his local idioms.
The Hlo Board of trade is apparently much agitated over the posi-
biity that the army authorities intend to abandon the Ki1auea army
camp in favor of one to be established on the Kula slopes OF in vicinity
of OInda.
So far as is known the army officers are working up the Maui pro-
position on their own initiative. 1t would seem that the least Maui
could do would be for the chamber of commerce to ask to be permitted
TO help in any way possible.

Don't Risk Neglect

Don't neglect a constant back . ache, sharp, darting pains or urin- ary disorders. The danger of dropsy or Bright's disease is too serious to ignore. Use Deans Kidney Pills as have thousands of other kidney sufferers.

Buy a bottle of Chamberlain s Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy be- fore leaving home. AS a rule it cannot be obtained when on a hunting. fishing or prospecting trip. Neither can it be obtained while on board the cars or steam ships and at such times and places it is most likely to be needed. The safe way is to have it with you. Adv.

Returns Home

J. J. Karnes, who has been down in Texas for the past three weeks returned home Tuesday. Joe reports everything lovely in that state, the ground is covered with rich and lucious grasses and beautiful flowers are blooming every where. The Cotton crop is now about one foot high and corn about three feet. The people are rejoicing over the prospects for bumper crops this year. It will be remembered that the past two years have been very dry in that state and naturally the peo- pie are jubilant over the return of the prosperous outlook. Mr. Karnea says that from the time he arrived at Holbrook until he reached the Gulf he was con- stantly surrounded by those who were talking oil, oil, oil, and he says that all along the line they are preparing to bore for it.

Where is it?

l W AASAS AS A%S
 There is an enchanted spot in Apache county. where in the Spring time, the visitor is greeted with the gladstone carol of birds arrayed in mating plumage and wing with each other in praising the great creative Force that gave them being. Where gentle zephyrs fan the cheeks and drive from the Erow of man all care and envy and malice and create in him a longing to get down real close to Mother Earth and learn of her wisdom;
 Where feecy clouds of gossa- mer. tinged with purple and old gold, vie with the flowers on the hill sides as to which shall en- chant you most;
 Where both sun rise and sun set, of more than Italian splendor, calls out the very soul of the artist;
 Where mum CT ous bubbling springs, icy cold and crystal clear, furnish the only beverage God gave to man;
 Where in the summer season Heavens artillery reyerberates from peak to peak and lightning plays fitful pranks among the old monarchs of the forest and bounteous showers renew life in the thirsty soil; Wh ere lucious grasses grow knee high over the rolling hills and sleek kline brewse and sleep in contentment and grow fat; Where bountiful harvests of ROld- en grain may be grown to bless the farmers efforts and where earth and sky and ali the forces of nature combine to make man kind content and fill his heart with love and his soul with beauty;
 Where in the Winter season, old Boreas reigns supreme and the gentle snows come down and cover the earth and all imperfect ions with g pure white mantle of charity.
 This is Gods country and Atos- cacita sits like a gem in the midst of it.
 The writer in his little log home stead cabin, bids his friends well come and will entertain them with a bachelors's hospitality, which includes a feast on sour dough biscuits and frijoles. For the HERALD force we will kill the old fat hen. Come.

Tuesday St Johns was again made to rejoice over the return of two more of her soldier boys, this time it was Charley Duke, son of Mir. and Mrs. B. Y. Duke, and Lawrence Davis, son of MT. and Mrs. Alma Davis. Both of the boys were in France and took part in the great drive which re- suited in the huns being stopped and the armistice being signed. Charly was very badly shaken up when his pack was struck by a shell and torn from his back and knocking him senseless, and Lawrence was taken prisoner on November 10th just one day prior to the signing of the armistice, and was immediately turned loose. The people are certainly proud of these boys as they are of all of them who left to do their bit for the cause.

OUR GREAT NEED

The world today needs, this
 nation needs, even this com
 munity needs a solemn return to and an earnest revival of the old fashioned virtues of the Christian household. The age is one of exaggeration, excitement and ex- rravagance. People cannot be content with the peaceful, humble way of living; they crave the swift, scintillating, feverish life. with scant regard for the higher standards of morality, so long as there can be found an easy way of having a good time. The Sabbath as a day of worship and rest is regarded as an anachron- ism by a world gone mad in pleasure-seeking; the Ten Com mandments are. violated un- ashamed by respectable" people every day. RidicuIe is heaped upon the homely virtues, and modesty and morality are openly scorned. The home and its steadying influence upon the life of youth is neglected, frivolous parents setting an example in light-mindedness to their unso- phisticatsd offspring. Even the moral training whose foundation must be laid in the home and buttressed by the church is turn ed over to the school and the state; People hire profess onals, most of whom never felt the joys nor knew the responsibilities of parenthood,, to. implant in the children's. minds the lessons which in the 'old-fogsy" days were learned at mothers knee or in the fathers arms. The fami- ly Bible has ceased to have chief place upon the parlor table, in many a household it is not to be found at all. Today one seldom sees the family vending it's Sun day way to meeting or Sunday school; in summer the outdoor at- fractions are too alluring, in win ter the weather is too cold. Man. kind seems to be forgetting God, and to be caught in a mad whirl where wealth and ease and pleas ure are the deities to which ad- oration is paid.
 A change in these respects is the greatest need of the hour. The world has emerged from a dreadful reinstatement, and mems hearts should be receptive to the impulses of humility, instead of being lifted up in pride. For the true teachers and leaders of men the occasion offers a glorious op- portunity and to them makes a profound appeal. The watchmen upon the towers should be doubly vigilant, the shepherds of the flock trebly patient and indus trious. For the great Enemy of mems souls is abroad, clothed in pleasing disguises, and working in devious but deadly ways to plant temptations in the way of the unwary, bring to naught the purpose of human redemption, and make mockery of the sacrifi- ce of Him whose resurrection from the dead the Christian world commemorates. = Ex.
