 Long ago Mother Lorimer stimulated me to taking what she termed "a speaking part" in the world events. insists that wives have a long neglected duty facing them.
 Man is an amiable creature who ex- poets to be amused, according to her theory, and who is kindly while he is amused. and grateful to the entertainer. He will gladly stay where life is gay, but when he is bored he simply gets up and goes where things are not so dull. Often he leaves home simply because some woman, wife or mother is not onto her job as an entertainer.
 Just because women fought so stren- uously for prohibition and used a vast reservoir of energy in the battle. Mother thinks they ought now to put some of the same kind of brains and force into devising a social scheme to succeed the saloon.

TAXATION

The war brought radical changes in taxation. yet the old. obsolete taxing machinery is still in vogue. and to date there isn't even a tangible and substantial movement on foot for a change.
 Before the war the heaviest burden of taxation was imposed by cities, counties and states. The average city dweller paid his city about s20 a year. his county and state about $S a year and Uncle San4 about S10 a year. The rural dweller paid his county and state about $S a year and Uncle Sam s1. But the average to Uncle sam for the sober man Of both the city and coun- try was about s5 and the other $1 per capital was paid by the drinkers through taxes and liquor.
 But since the war city, county and state taxes are Insignificant compared to those of the federal government. The average to every man, woman and child, demanded by the Washington government, is S60 a year, in itself nearly twice as much any city dwelier paid before the war to all gov ernments and nearly four times what the rural man paid. ~
 Heavy taxation brought on by the war hasn't touched the national
