As To Taxation

'The suggestion for the submission Of bama granting the right of cities and towns of this state to levy tax of $1 on the $10O, instead of the present limit of go cents, and the further right of ma jority of the voters to add s1 more to the tax rate for special purposes, thus mak- curr monstrous burden upon the people. ' said Frank V. Evans
 Every person who inhabits the city is taxpayer, no matter how poor he may be. If he be a house owner and occupant he pays tax on that home; if he rents from another home, shelter or place Of business, he pays the landlords tax in increasing rental
 Under the present constitution Bir- mingham's tax rate is s1 on the s100 based on an assessment of 60 per cent of real value by legislative enactment. Increase the constitutional rate to $2 on the s2co and the legislature has full authority to assess at 100 per cent of value, thus al lowing a loophole for changing our tax rate from a basis of 60 per cent to 20O per cent or three and one.third times the present burden on the taxpayer. suggestion that the legislature would not do this would not annul the possibil- ity of such action by the law-making body, which might be induced to heed the appeals of the treasury for enrich ment
 Every intelligent man will admit that
 in order to carry the state forward on the march of progress and development, money is needed; but in order to obtain it let us not tamper with the constitution. The way seems plain: Increase the adva- forum assessments by legislative enact ment to degree adequate to the neces- SitieS of the condition"

SYRIA'S FUTURE

From the New York Evening Sun.
 The reports emanating from Damascus that there is violent opposition through ont Syria to a French mandate should not occasion undue alarm The affec- tion of Syria, especially of Lebanon, for France is too well known to be open to discussion. It is attested by the popular ity and usefulness of the French charit- able institutions, by the multitude of Sy- rians who speak the French tongue, by the enthusiastic welcome always accord ed French officials. by the extent of cy- rian commerce with French ports, by the fact that during the war thousands of Syrian volunteers fought under the French colors.
 It is but natural that some Syrians should hope for complete independence for their country but for this she is not yet prepared. Not only is her popula- tion unpractised in government, but the multiplicity of races and religions would make united action impossible. We need only recall the events of1S41 1860 | 1896 and 1909 to realize that independence would mean the unloosening of agelong
 anmosities. As M. Etienne Lamy has said: Nowhere else are to be found in so small space so many races, reli- gions, conflicting interests and ambi- tions" Side by side are Arabians. Kurds. Armenians, Jews. Greeks, Chaldeans. Circassians, speaking Arabian, Kurdish, Turkish, Armenian, Hebrew, Greek and Persian and divided by faith into Mus sulmans Orthorox, Syrians, Maronites, Greek Catholics. Latins, Armenian Catho- lies. Islaelites, Gregorian Armenians, Druses and many other sects.
 If independence should come to Syria these conflicting forces could hardly be balanced. Civil war would follow, en- dangering the works begun by European Powers-railways, highways. ports, fac tories. schools, misions-and in the md the weaker races would be subjected to the yoke of the stronger. Syria is not yet ready to stand alone. She must have guiding hand over her certainly for years, before she can travel unaided the road to good government and prosperity.

 A n ANY of the officers and crew HWlI of the great RIA took occa- SVS sion, at parting, to declare their intention of coming back to the United States, some for visits, and some Ito stay" And most of them were attracted by the same lure money, money, easy money"
 The stowaway who is to be bundled back by water to take ais medicine, was frankest. He hoped for light punishment. and then, he announced, he was coming back here to fight Benny Leonard. Fighting here is easy money" said he. Possibly, 1t is the average proletarian point of view.
 Engineer Pritchard declared that he intended coming to New York "to settle down. q like the pay your chaps earn here" Several others licked their chops as much over the glttering TO- nance of mechanics wages as they did over the Bacardi rum. Possibly the former could make them forget to lament the disappearance of the latter.

 As befits senator from a pioneer dry state, Senator Capper, we are assured, neither drinks, smokes nor swears, but has a dry sense of humor. Sometimes 'his devoted employees do bit of swear ing for him, but are ashamed to be caught at it by their soft-spoken boss"
 It is chara cteristic of Capper that he seldom gives an order. If you have room" he will say to his editors, ',I should like to have you print this.' Or. T think we should publish this" One day a distinguished visitor to Topeka. on being shown through the big publish ing plant by it's proprietor, asked in- credulously, Are all these people work ing for you?"
 Well, yes,' replied Capper, after some hesitaton-then with chuckle-'I think half of them are." Incidentally. the Cap- per building is said to be the finest com nercial structure in Kansas, and when strangers in Topeka ask who the owner might be- there is no hesitancy but a world of pity for the questioner. in the reply, Why, Arthur Capper, of course!

European countries, and even in Eng land, by all but the most discreet, is highly flattering, and not untinged with envy. Of course they know that prices are high, but so are wages, and it seems inevita ble to them that where there is so much money going it must be easier to get than amid the surroundings familiar to each builder of air castles. The traditional belief in going abroad to seek your fortune has been intensified by the convul- sions of war.
 Well, Good luck to everybody" is hearty toast It would be a better plan for Englishmen and F'renchmen to come to America than for Ameri- cans to go abroad just at the moment. For the general attitude of most American travellers in what many of them seem to consider a first cabin manner" is bound to be highly irritat- ing to Europeans for some time to come. They have all the reason in the world to be impatient and worn out. They have been beaten up, abused, and their houses defiled; they are in no humor to entertain visitors. Let us all remember this. and try to welcome all corners with a cordiality wholly divested of any hint of patronage.

MANGIN IDOL OF POILUS

 ginning at the bottom like themselves.
 They turned the nickname of his ene-
 mics into an enthusiastic battle cry.
 Like the soldiers of other centuries who
 shouted the name of saint as they
 charged, all these picked fighters as
 they advanced in a bayonet charge,
 through the hail of the machine guns,
 falling in groups shouted with fierce
 ferver. Mangin the Butcher! Long live Mangin the Butcher" In the mo-
 ments of calm the name of this general and his terrible nickname were a title of glory for those who fought under him.
 i l have sometimes seen in the trains,
 among the other soldiers going home
 on a few days furlough, certain poilus who attracted general attention by the
 number of decorations on their breasts and the gold cordons hanging from their
 shoulders, by their fierce, determined air, and by their sharp, authoritative
 voices; they considered themselves su- perior to the other soldiers. And when they were asked to which
 army and to which division they be- longed they gave no numbers; details
 seemed superfluous. They merely an-
 swered proudly:
 T am one of Mangin's men,"
 And they added in their hoarse voices, looking pityingly at the other soldiers:
 Mangin the Butcher" was under the command of this ter- rible general in one of the most decis- i've and bloody counter offenses that the American soldiers made their de- but in France.
 This tells everything. What could surprise Mangin's war riors? For three years they had been continually on the offensive. Whenever
 a breach had to be made in the German wall they were called. How could those hardened soldiers. the last word in dar- ing and heroic madness. be atonished at another's bravery?
 And yet those warriors of Mangin, tried and tempted by three years of in- cessant attack, admired .he youthful daring of the American divisions. They were amazed at the heroic, unwavering
 frankness with which they defied death. storming the enemy's positions.
