with which Mary intrigued the
wealthy woman into buying, not one

fectly honest with her. The customer
was a woman past middle ago. She
had admired a youthful CONNECTION,

AN signs furnish a basis for the
prediction that for the next three to
five years. at least, there will be in
this country work for all who want it,
and occupation for every useful enter
prise. 1t will take not less than five
billion dollars expended in repairs and
reconstruction to put the railroads
back on an efficient working basis.
1t will take nearly half that sum, it is
estimated. TO supply this country with
the needed residences properly to
house its people. While this recon-
structfon work is in progress, there
viii be a ready market for all the farm
products that can be raised. The log
ging camps, the saw mills and planning
mills, the mines and foundries, the
paper mills. the packing houses. the
textile and clothing mills, will all be
working at practically full capacity.

SORERNG TIP.

Happily for the country, the dis
turbed conditions in it's Industrial life
which prevailed for several months
following the signing of the arnistice
seem almost wholly to have disap-
peared. There is not a big strike in
progress anywhere. The country is
SOLDERING up.
1t is not denied that there are many
EMBELLISHMENTS in the workings of the
industrial organization. but most of
them are due to the liberty of choice
and freedom OF action which is al
lowed to the individual. Each person
is free, so far as circumstances will
permit, to live his own life, providing
he does not unduly interfere with
others, to choose his occupation. live
where he wants to, and in a general
way govern his habits and manage his
policies as he pleases. Each farmer
may plant what he chooses, and if
with the vicissitudes Of the weather
and all market conditions it happens
that too many plant one thing. the
price for that year may be below the
cost of production. And If an undue
number of persons prefer to live in
towns instead of in the country. it may
be that the cost OF food will become
very high as compared with the wages
of town industries.
Conditions are continually changing
in the industries. so that a surplus of
and places. In general the response
bility is upon each individual to order
his own life and to find the place in
the industrial organization where he
will be useful; perhaps society might
well do more to protect the individual
from the vicissitudes with which he
must contend, and to help him to
achieve his greatest usefulness. That
is always a proper subject for con-
as population increases and the indus.
tries become more specialized.
The business organization is what
it is not because it was so planned OF
any authority or concerted effort
made it so. but as the result of nat
ural development under the free play
OF the evolutionary forces of society
1t Is still subject TO change by the
same forces and is changing all of tn,
time. 1t will surely take the form
best adapted to serve the wants of thu
community as the community itsei
: changes and develops. But this mean
that it will be gradually changed b.
: the business community itself, thru
the competitive efforts of many mind
to render the most satisfactory service
and not by the plans and agitation o
5 theorists outside OF the business com
munity, or by having the business o
the country taken over by the politi
cal organization.

The current year promises to be a
busy one for Topeka mechanics. Many
new buildings already are in process
of construction. many others are be-
ing planned and still others probably
will be started as the building season
advances. Capitalists apparently have
become reconciled to the fact that
there is little If any hope for decline
in the costs OF material or labor. Rents
have advanced sufficiently already to
compensate for the added cost of con-
struction and will continue to rise
along with prices of everything else
If such advances shall continue.
Given a little time the law of supply
and demand will assert itself in any
line of business. The building of
houses is no exception.

pear TO be in a hurry to test out the

other winter. If the new law do not
work. perhaps it can be so changed
that II will work.

EXCESSIVE PROFITS.

Excessive profit taking, declares
Senator Capper, is beginning to men
ace business. Certainly il is. But since
the government is one of the bene-
ficiaries of excessive profit taking
thru the medium of the excess profits
tax. the senator might perform dis
tirct service to business and to the
entire country by putting thru con-
gress bill repeating that tax.
No form OF taxation ever has been
devised that relieves the ultimate
consumer from the burden, but il he
could pay his tax direct to the govern
ment without its passing thru the
hands of men who are in a position
derive a distinct benefit in the way of
money saved.
For every dollar paid into the
United States treasury in the form of
excess profits tax, the manufacturer
probably lays aside a dollar or even
more fer himself. A similar process
was in operation when we were col
lecting the bulk of the federal revenue
thru a high tariff. The tariff elm
mated foreign competition to an
extent sufficient to enable the man
ufacturer to sell at an enormous ad-
vance over the cost of production
These excessive prices the consumer
paid in order that the government
might derive revenue from the
system while the output of our fac
tories was sold abroad for lower prices
than it was sold at home. For in
stance, Singer sewing machine made
in America could be bought in Ger
many and shipped over here for less
money than it could be bought at
home.
Since the ultimate consumer must
pay all the taxes it would be cheaper
for him to pay direct. This can be
done thru a sales tax, which already
is in operation in a limited way. If a
man pay a tax when he buys a theater
ticket, hat, a pair of shoes or a
toilet article he knows how much he is
paying for the support of his govern
ment and he knows that what he pays
is going straight where it belongs,
without being subject to a rake-off
by any third party. as is the case un-
der the excess profit tax law.
An extension OF the sales tax system
to every article OF daily consumption
would tighten the burden of the tax
payer, who then would not be forced
to pay two dollars in taxes in order
that the government might get one
dollar in revenue. A sales tax suffi-
cient 70 meet the requirement of the
treasury would be more than balanced
by the lowered price of goods. 1t
would prove superior to a stamp tax.
which being paid by the dealer en-
ables him to add two dollars to the
selling price of his goods for every
dollar paid in for stamps.

Politics in our day is classified by
Henry Ford in his Dearborn INDIE
pendent as not so much a popular
matter as professional matter, In
stead of being always the exact effect
of the whole community's thought
upon public questions. he says IT is
often only the community choice be-
tween two limited programs prepared
by professional partisans who them
selves have personal aspirations to
serve or whose welfare is linked UP
with the personal aspirations OF
others. All Of this may be true. but
there is little evidence apparent of an
carly change. John J. ingalls, lost an
election to the United States senate by
