OWNING A HOME.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat All in
telligent and responsible plans to
make it easier to buy a home are TO
be commended and deserve coopera-
tive aid. They promote the welfare
of individual citizens and of the COM
munity as well. Does it pay flnan.
cially to own home? Let those who
pay rent taake pencil and figure it
out for themselves. The profit on the
side of ownership is lalsu and sub
stantial, without regard to the incl
dental increase in the value Of real
estate in the country. A man who
is his own landlord saves money, is
secure against high and advancing
rents and notices to move, and Is
encouraged to make improvements to
his own liking. He is better citizen
because more attentive to what goes
on in public business and at the bal
lot box. His interests are on the
side Of order and wise measures of
progress. To be free from rent is in
itself a sure and constant dividend In
money.
Various methods to increase home
ownership have been devised. Other
methods are under discussion. Long.
time payments with reasonable in
terest rates are feature common to

IOWA AND ITS TEACHERS

Sioux Cityq Journal: The an
nouncement is made by DR.. Leonard
r Ayers of the Russell Sage foun-
dalton, that Iowa leads all the otner
states in educational porgress during
the last five years. But there Is
Hv in the ointment. The figures sub
mitted by DR.. Ayers are based on ten
points of progress, which, with the
rank In each which Iowa holds at
pn t of Iowa's
Es+;,nate Rank.
i. Per cent. of attendance of !,
pupils ...... ....',,,
2 Days of attendance by all
pupils -......'....
3. Length of school year. ........ I
4. Proportion of pupils in high
school ........, ........ >
5. Percentage Of boys to girls III
school ....... ....... .
6 Amount of expenditures per
chllQ -. ''..''
7. Amount of expenditures per
child of school age ....... D
8. Amount of expenditures per
teacher a
9. Amount expended for lines
10. Amount expended for teachers
salaries .......... ..........-35
Averaged and compared with like
averages of other states gives Iowa
the head of the column. But it will
be noticed that while the state ranks
third in the amount of money expend-
ed other than for teachers salaries,
it ranks thirty-third in amount ex-
pended for teachers. Gratifying as
the other figures are to the pride OF
an Iowan, it is humiliating to know
that a state whose riches equal those
of the empires of antiquity, is sur
passed by thirty-two other states in
the money it pays to those who are
largely responsible for its greatness.
True, the per teacher expenditure
ranks the state higher. but even that
is SO low that it is shame to- the
state and ought to be changed.

Pool Halls Doomed

Sac Sun: The editor of the Coon
Rapids Enterprise is making a de-
termined fight to awaken the people
of his town to the evils of public pool
halls, and is seeking to have town
government elected that will put
them out. Sac City has been without
pool halls so long that once in while
there are people who wonder why
they are not restored. The fact Is
that the younger generation has for.
gotten the vicious effects of the in.
stitution that was abolished from the
town more than twenty years ago.
There is no good in the commercial
pool hall. 1t is run for profit, and it
cannot be run for profit without in.

ingly deleterious to the young life of
the town.

this is less than the producers and handlers ada
iii order to cover their surtaX. The cost OF col
lccting the revenue would also be lowered; and
it is argued that capital would flow INTO indus
tries from which the existing taxes drive 1T
away.
Considering the question broadly, it can be
argued that tho consumption tax proposed
would tend to individual economy and at the
same time to increased production, both OF
which would have effect OF bringing prices
down. The Present system penalties the man
who saves his money and sets it at productive
work Similarly, as has been often pointed out
on property invite increased as
sessments which are in effect fine upon the
citizen who builds and beautifes Both seem to
be wrong in principle, and any system OF col
Letting revenues which obviates such dlsad-
vantages deserves consideration when advanced
by practical men who have given the matter
careful thought.
The crying need of the land otday, and OF the
world, is greater production, more commodities,
more of the necessaries of life and more judi
cious expenditure for the things that can be
done without.

WILSON'S FATAL WEAKNESS.

Forbes Magazine: John u. Rookie.
Teller once remarked 10 the editor
of Forbes Magazine that it was a
sure sign that man vas not really
big man if he disliked having olAer
big men associated with him. Mr.
Rockefeller attributes the phenome-
nal success OF Standard Oil largely to
It's ability to attract executives Of
conspicuous ability. Measured ty
this yardstick. President Wilson has
written himself down net a big nan
Ever since he selected his original
cabinet the impression has been
prevalent that he did not wans other
brainy giants around him, but want
ed lickspittles, puppets, spineIess
fellows who would obey his behests
with all the docility of school boys.
Lansing reveals afresh this lament
able phase of the presidents make
up.
Were the president of any large
corporation to be stricken down With
an illness incapacitating him for
months, he would not, on returning
TO duty, dismiss his next-in- command
for having called heads of depart.
ments together for council. but would
feel justified in dismissing him if ne
had not held such conferences. After
all, the United States government is
today huge businesslike organiza-
tion-or, at least, should be, although
unhappily it is in many respects the
reverse Of businesslike. What Amer
lea needs is not an autocrat in the
white house, not schoolmaster who
insists upon treating cabinet minis
tiers as schoolboys, not detached
theorist or litterateur; burt level
headed, broad gagged man accus-
toned to handling large affairs and
handling them in an efficient, prac-
teal, successful way.

st, Louis Globe-Democrat The
national board Of underwriters
have issued the statistics OF the
fire losses, showing the yearly
damage by fire to be $3.50, 100000
in the United States. The
amount covered by insurance
was $3.50. 100000, almost all OF
which 1t declares was either to-
tally or largely preventable Fires
caused by lightning are classed
as unpreventable, but nearly all
other causes are in q measure
preventable. At least half OF
them are considered easily SO If
proper precautions are taken.
Saving $4,000, 900 year would
be equal to the earnings at 6 per
cent on capital of $2,93S, O00,-
600. Surely that is something
worth saving in the industrial life
of the country,
Losses as listed above are only
the actual damage done. They do

DEFECTS OF OUR TAX SYSTEM.

The New York City Chamber of Commerce
urges the immediate repeal of the excess profits
fax. the surtax on incomes and reduction Of
the federal income tax, all of which are power
tul agencies in limiting production and holding
1lp the abnormally high prices which now pre-
vail The report Of its committee to this effect
was unanimously adopted by the Chamber; and
las a. substitute measure to maintain government
revenues tax on consumption instead of pro
tuction was proposed. 1t was stated that a tax
of one per cent. on all purchases involving a
dollar or more would yield the government six
hundred millions, and that a tax Of five per
cent would produce revenue enough to render
unnecessary the taxes on estates, on incomes,
corporate and individual, and the so-called ex-
cess profits tax.
The system suggested, as will be seen, is a
TAX on outgo instead of on income; and this is
favored as less injurious to business and less
destructive of individual incentive to accumu-
late and employ capital. 1t is not a prudent
thing, says the committee, to shake the conf
dence of those who accumulate it's capital, by
attacks upon the institution Of private prop
nrty. nor to discourage their abstinence and
seH-dcnial by draining from them the fruits of
their labor. The present high prices to the
consumer, as is pointed out, are very largely
due to the pyramiding Of production costs by
manufacturers and dealers in the attempt to
offset the excessive taxes imposed at all stages
In the process of production and distribution
The undoubtcd consensus of the men best
able to pass opinions the matter is that the
taxes referred to obstruct the return of pros
porous conditions. A tax on outgo paid by a
Stamp at the time of purchase would not have
this effect; and while it would add one per
rent to the cost of the dollar article bought,

FIRE LOSSES AND CLEANING UP

not include the interruption
of manufacturing and business
caused by destruction of the
plant or the store building, with
consequent loss to the capital
employed and still greater to la.
Dor in the matter of wages not
earned. There is ample reason
in the above figures for cam
paign of carefulness and fire pre-
vention in the United States, and
especially for the annual cleanup
campaign which our cities have
practically adopted as means
of destroying refuse that should
never have been permitted to &C
cumulate. Cleaning up around
the home, inside and out, in the
yard and in the alley, is one OF
the best precautionary measures
against fire as well as a sanitary
measure of great value to the
public health. There are both
money and health in it.

Ter to buy their goods of catalog

Lord, to see, in spite of my knocking,
1t is beginning to grow. Some day
Il feAr will be called upon to put
pavement in front Of my property and
who knows, may have to keep the
streets up in front of my business.
This, 0 Lord, would be more than
II coulda bear. It would cost me
money, although all have was made
right here in this town. Them too,
