S275,OOO to purchase new equipment for the n1u-
nicipal light plant is legitimate, even in period
of excessively high prices and with the city in a
bad way financially.
If the improvements made possible by the
bond issue not made, the plant will soon de-
teriorate and be unable to provide continuous
service, SO that this expenditure is a public ne
cessity of the highest order.
But other improvements that can go over for
year should be postponed by all means. The
municipal government must be administered
with the greatest economy in it's history, and the
best thought of the community focused on all it's
functions to prevent leaks and throttle unneces-
sary expenditures
Just a wise man frugally husbands his
dollars by cutting down expenses, so must the
municipality not only exercise economy but also
scrutinize carefully every purchase made with
dollars that have lost fully SO per cent of their
purchasing power.
This is municipal platform with which no
citizen can find fault and which recommends it.
self to every taxpayer. Taxes can be kept where
they now if the city authorities pledge them
selves to a program of economy.
And the full contamination of this program
depends in no small measure upon the taxpayer
who will not advocate measures adding to the
burden of treasury already staggering under a
heavy load.

about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon: apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not ALL of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy eyerv
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and

John ]. Ingalls, walked into immor-
tally through the penning of single
sonnet called opportunity" 1t stands
as one of the masterpieces of English
expression. And yet his philosophy
was all wrong. He commended that OPP
portunity knocked but once--and then
went away, never to return.
The fact is that Opportunity never
goes away from people. 1t tags them
around-it rings bells before their
very faces. 1t uses every art to arrest
attention. And yet there are people
who smile, unthinkingly complain, and
say that they never had a chance.
People are unfair to Opportunity.
Opportunity keeps knocking and

Money Worries of the Cities

Richmond is not the only city in the United
States with financial worries. Chicago tried to
interest bankers in loan of $12,OOO,OOO on
school tax per cent anticipation warrants, but
was turned down. An effort made few weeks
ago to borrow $15,OO0,0OO on per cent corporate
tax anticipation warrants also met with re-
sounding rebuff.
Chicago bankers bluntly told city authorities
to keep their expenses within the revenue.
cty's credit, they said, is determined identically
as is that of the individual. Banks will not ex-
tend loans to spendthrfts who have penchant
for spending more than they earn neither will
they permit extravagant municipalities to bor-
row money.
Richmond is perilously near the limit of its
ability to borrow money. Rigid economy must
be the watchword in all departments if the city
is not to "go broke" A loan of $4,000 to meet
general municipal expenses for the current year
illustrates the depleted state of the treasury.
With this in mind, the conservative citizen
will not insist on public improvements or in
creased expenditures, for the only method where
by the requisite revenue can be raised is by
floating bond issues or increasing the tax rate
The tax rate is high enough it is. If the
city could float bond issues the citizens would
have to pay interest annually on the bonds,
which ultimately would mean increased taxes,
and in the end the taxpayer would have to raise
enough money to retire the ISSUE
To escape increased taxation the city must
keep its expenditures within the revenue that is
raised by the present tax levy and other sources
Of income. There is no other way out. Every
dollar that is borrowed must be repaid, principal
and interest, and the taxpayer is the individual
who will bear the brunt of the payment
Some improvements are absolutely necessary
to protect the city. The proposed bond issue of

Where Are the Empty Freight Cars?

Rumors flying thick and fast that the
shortage of freight is an artificial one pro-
duced by railroad officials themselves.
Empties are shunted from one division to an
other, switched sidetracks, or needlessy held
up in repair yards, is the gist of the rumor that
holds the roads themselves responsible for the
freight congestion which is Sitting production
and preventing distribution.
The charges have been repeated SO often and
have grown so immensely in the telling that it
oehooves railroad officials to come into the open
with statement of facts and figures showing
exactly where the freight cars are and how many
Of them are actually in
If the rumor develops into fact, the govern
ment should lose no time in instituting prosecu-
tons that will prevent forever repetition of
situation inimical in it's effect on manufacture
and commerce and potentially freighted with the
stuff that creates social and industrial unrest.

Answers to Questions

E. M.-What is the Tammany So
c1ety?-The Tammany society is a
Democratic political organization in
New York City, named in honor of ST.
Tammany or Tamanend, a noted In
dian chief 1t was founded May -,
1888, for benevolent and social pur-
poses, but eventually became an i'm
portant political body, controlling To-
cal and, to some extent, the state gov
eminent, in the interests of the Demo
cratic party. The society was for
mally chartered in 1905. This organi-
cation was formed in 1889, being the
erect of a popular movement in New
York, having primarily in view a coun-
terwe1ght to the so-called "aristocrat-
ic" society Of Cincinnati. 1t was es-
senually anti-federalist or democratic
IN its character, and its chief founder
was William Mooney, an upholsterer
and native born American of Irish
extraction. 1t took its first title from
noted, ancient, wise and friendly
chief of the Delaware tribe of Indians,
named Tammany, who had for the
want Of a better subject been canon
lied by the soldiers of the Revolution
as the American patron saint. The
first meeting was held May IL, 1883.
Inc act OF incorporation was passed
In 1866. The grand sachem and thir-
teen sachems were designed to typify
the president and the governors of
the thirteen original states William
Mooney was the first grand sachem.
The society is normally a charitable
and social organization, and is distinct
from the general committee of the
Tammany Democracy, which is a po-
lltlcal organization, and cannot use
Tammany Hall without the consent of
the society. President Wilson receiv-
ed the support Of Tammany at the last
presidential election
