Ripping Rhymes
By WALT
The Young Ones.

The children of these wasteful
times have no respect for modest
dimes. It's not their fault: they
see their dads like drunken sail
ors blow the scads; they're taught
by every spendthrift dub that
money grows on tree and shrub.
They hear no parent wise uplift
his voice TO preach the creed OF
thrift. And when they've grown
to mans estate, and find it theirs
TO pay the freight, the habits they
have learned today will make
them prematurely gray. Ere long
these booming times must pass.
and men must scratch to gain the
brass; and youths who've learned
to blow ii in, but not to store 1t In
a bin. will have a handicap so tall
that it will force them to the wall.
Do parents ever pause and think
as they blow in the shining chink
for furbeiows and costly lids. how
they are bringing up the kids? Or
don't they ear a holy whoop II
kids of theirs should reach the
soup On. let's get back TO frugal
ways. and save against the rainy

Presidential primary today will de-
eide before nightfall whether their
governor, Frank O. Lowden, or Gen
eral Leonard Wood shall be their
choice for nominee of the Republican
party in the November election.
This will be the only contest OF
the primary that will be decided by a
vote of the entire state. In seven OF
the twenty-five congressional dis
tricts, however, the contest for dis
trict delegates to the Chicago con-
vention promises to be hard fought.
In these seven districts, candidates
for delegates who have indicated their
intention of supporting Governor
Lowden, are opposed by delegates
who are recorded as having no prefer
ence, While in one district. the first,
no avowed Lowden delegate is on the
list. In the other seventeen districts,
however, none but Lowden men APP
pear on the ballot.
Contesting candidates for election
as delegates are found in the Sec
ond, third and fourth districts, all of
which are located in the city of Chi
cago, and the tenth, fifteenth. six
teenth and twenty-second districts,
located outside of Chicago.
There are no candidates entered
for Presidential endorsement honors
on the Democratic ticket, Governor
Edward l. Edwards, of New Jersey
having withdrawn his name after it
had been properly presented.
The ballots upon which the women
will mark their votes will be separate
from the regular ballots. This is be-
ing done in order to make it a simple
matter to throw them out, in case adj
verse rulings to the voting of women
are received after the primary.

WHEN STRIKES ARE NO MORE.

Civilization advances slowly. Some

their own differences between them

the challenge to single combat in
which a person who had a grievance
against another settled that grievance
on what was then called "the field

duals were fought often resulting in
the death Of one of the participants.

A Taxpayer Complains

Editor EVENING NEWS:
Having recently returned from an
extended business trip, n of my first
requests was for local news and
through the columns of the EVENING
NEWS l learned that our tax rate
was the highest in this county, and be-
ing a taxpayer L was more h in
terested.
1 also learned of the proposed plans
of the Board of Water Commissioners
for the erection Of &new acquiduct,
which l think is very much needed
by this city, but, why in the face of
such high taxes load up the taxpayers
lsary?
According to your ape the water
commissioners have made the follow
ing agreements:
/. Paid Mr.. johnson, $4,000 for
plans and are going to pay him $1,000
per month In a consulting capacity.
2. Agreed to pay Mr.. NJ. +. Larson,
city engineer. $4,000 for supervision
lfees.
What I would like to ask and feel
that I as a taxpayer have the right
to know Is:
Why pay Mr.. Larson $4,000 for
| supervising his work Is he not al
ready being paid a good salary as city
engineer? Isn't this part of h work
OF the CITY. NALaI w VIC pay hI
flor?
Is not Mr.. Mason, who is superin-
tendent of the Water Department and
an experienced hydraulic engineer,
capable of taking care of this work ?
He has had more experience and with
the assistance Of a junior engineer
who would not cost the taxpayers $780,
1000, l think could handle the job with
more satisfactory results and less poll
tics.
Why pay Mr.. Johnson $500 pei
month? Why pay him a salary a
all? Can no one but himself interpref
his drawings? If this Is the case
what have the water commissioners
paid him $4,000 for?
Why is II the commissioners refus'
to handle the affairs OF the city il
the same business-like tina
they do their own? l am sure !
one of their employees had put through
a deal like this one some one woul'
lose their Jobs.
There seems to be a general feeling
in 10th parties that the taxpaye
should be soaked.
