FOR MORE COMMUNITY MUSIC
Boston Newsraps. Makes Strong Point
of Its Value in Creating a
Sense of Unity.

The growth of community music
means many things, remarks the Bos-
ton Herald. 1t means an endless
source of pure pleasure to those who
listen, and far more to those who par
ticipate. 1t means mighty stimulus
to the love and understanding of good
music. 1t means that at last we are
beginning to weary of being enter
tanned by others and mean to create
and perform our own music, through
our own efforts. Most important OF
all. it means that America is discover
ing at last that she is united nation
and is expressing her joyful sense OF
unity in song.
Let US see that the children have
their share in this national awakening,
a voice in this national chorus. Let
every village, town and city gather its
young people and train them for
community chorus or orchestra. There
could be no surer means of making
them loyal to each other and to their
country and Of preparing a musical
future for the nation.
The word war has taught US, for one
thing. how 10 come together as COM
munity for spiritual expression in
song. We shall be the richer If we
preserve and cultivate this practice.

Taxation on the Hon:.

The necessity for giving proper attention to real
estate taxation brought to notice in paper
by Harrison g. Riley. president OF the Chicago
Title and Trust company, which read 1T the
recent convention of the Real Estate Association
of the State of Illinois in Champaign. In his paper
Mr.. Riley said:
1T is undeniabe that real estate and. therefore,
the home keeper, pays an increasingly unfair
amount for the support of the government and
the convenience of the people. A lazy indifference
and stupid lack of Intelligence In the levy and
collection Of taxes must be corrected, that real
estate bears only equal proportion of the eX-
penses of government and of civilization with
other classes of property.
Heretofore real estate has furnished so
per cent of the revenue needed by the state the
several counties and the uHnumbered municipal
and quasimunicpal corporations.
Personal property, which equals very likely
ing any fair proportion of governmental expenses.
Il suggest that the new state constitution Shall
have ONLY two restrictions the power OF the
general assembly to levy and collect taXes-v.z !:
That all taxes shall be equa and uniform
THE provisions for taxation and special assess
ment in the new constitution should be flexible
that property and earning capacity can be reached
and an ircome tax used substitute for spe-
cifc taxes upon classes Of property difficult TO
reach or the value of which ii is impossible TO de-
termine except by an assessive body much too
heavy and too dangerous in character to he toll

man catching them is onto his bust
ness and gives them the help that lies
within his power to give them"
According to Lajoie, the catcher has
the best opportunity to get information
on the batter. Not only can he get
information on the man at bat, but he
can communicate with the pitcher
through a code Of signals. Larry says
he would like to have an expression
from some of the star fingers of a
few years back. 81 never sought their
opinion on this matter" he declared,
but | would be willing to lay little
bet that everyone of them will give
their catcher a lot of credit for their
success" Lajoie predicts the umpires
will become more disguised with the
rules against freak pitching than the
pitchers themselves, because the in
dictator handlers will be obliged to
watch every move of the mound man.

the veteran as the discussion drew

Oeschger, although having all the
natural requisites to make a great
pitcher, was prevented from taking his
place in the ranks of the leaders owing
to his inability to get the ball over the
plate. Pitching with a delivery re-

was able to throw with terrific force
and also disclosed curve ball that
