FORT LEE DEPARTMENT

Mr.. Schall was asked by the Pali-
sadian why he cast his vote against an
audit of the borough's books, and he
replied:
Because the council voted to retain
the services of Mr.. Weisker, the pres
ent auditor. Our taxes are already
high enough and | could not see the
consistency or fairness to the tax-pay-
ers in duplicating the cost Of auditing
the bOrough's finances. As chairman
OF the finance committee | therefore
opposed the audit. | do not believe
That it was fair for me to favor a
double burden upon the taxpayers.
great many people of the borough
IN every quarter of it, however, believe
that regardless of Mr.. Schall's posi-
tlon 1t sometimes may be necessary to
audit an auditor, and besides most peo-
pie think that Mr.. Weisker is merely
the bookkeeper for the tax collector.

OUR SOLDIER DEAD.

IN FLANDERS fields, where peoples blow"
IN France where beauteous roses grow,
lnere let them rest-forever Sleep
While we eternal vigil keep
with our hearts love-with our souls

For all our Fallen over There"
Inc sounding sea between us rolls
And in perpetual requiem tolls
Three thousand miles of cheerless space
Lie 'twiXt US and their resting place;
twas God who took them by the hand
And left them in the stranger land.
Inc earth Is sacred where they fell
Forever on 1t lies the spell
VI nero deeds in Freedoms cause
And men unborn shall come and pause
10 say prayer, or bow the head,
SO leave these graves to hold their dead
Let not our signing nor our tears
Fan on them through the coming years,
Who on the land, on sea, in air,
With dauntless courage everywhere,
Their homes and country glorified-
Stood to their arms and smiling died.
Great France will leave no need nor room
mat we place flowers on their tomb
And proudly Ger their resting place.
VIII float forever In Its grace
Ger cross. and star, and symbol tag,
Their own beloved country's flag.
The morning sun will gid with light,
The stars keep holy watch at night

The summer flowers about them grow,
The sweet birds sing their springtime call,
Gods love and mercy guard them all.

Whose OK Is Gored?

"Ohw says the timid in shocked
tones, "this would be revolutionary.
1t might work in a new country, but in
an old established country like this it
would never do" Well, England is a
much older country than this, and yet
it is commencing to abolish the priv
ileges of the land owning dukes and to
land holdings. 1t seems right when ap-
piled to others. 1t is only when it
comes home that we feel it. Land
titles should be based on usage and
not on mere possession. The law sells
out small home. owner that doesn't
pay his taxes. 1t will sell out a land
monopolist that doesn't pay his rent

Another Good One,

In similar spirit we consider the
prosperous business man, who loves to
take good, cold, fOaming glass of
beer on a hot summer day. Why should
be deprived of that privilege just be-
cause few jails should become empty
of drunkards? Nothing gives me
greater pleasure than to see lot of
saloon keepers buy barrels of wood al
cohol, mix it up into whisky and sell it
among their customers so as to kill off
few hundreds, blind the rest and
then turn to the community, saying
"Here's your prohibition" 'Hah !"
say l. "Now will people learn not to
deprive me of my liberty?"

ROME TAXES BACt. IT'S OWN
Demolition Of Pretentious German
Embassy In Eternal City Has
Deep Significance.

Today on the Capitoline. the SMALL
est geographically, but historically the
most important of the famous seven
hills of Rome, there is the sound of
hammering, the fall of masonry. Here.
for many centuries. was centered the
religious and political activity Of the
Roman empire. and here in the last
half century Germany had established
herself imperially. residentially. In
the Palazzo Caffarelli, built near the
site Of the great temple of Jupiter,
consecrated in B. G. 500 was the Ger
man embassy, with the throne of the
emperor of Germany. Near at hand
was the German Archaeological insti-
tute. within its garden the famous
Tarpeian rock, to be visited Of recent
years only by obtaining the key of the
gate from the German authorities. On
the piazza. RomuluS is said to have
founded his asylum and here in the.
centuries before the Christian era, as
in the middle ages Rome had the seat
of her government. 1t was here that
from house to house, from terrace to
terrace, Germany up to the year 1914
was steadily spreading her domains.
The statue of Marcus Aurelius by
Michael Angelo was in the piazza of
the Capitoline so also were those of
Constantine and his son, but there
was room for Others Today, however,
the Palazzo Caffarelli with it's six
teenth-century architectural beauties.
and it's Teutonic decorations, is being
removed from the capital in carts. The
authorities have decided that this sew
enth hill of Rome belongs to the past
of Italy and they seek beneath the
floors of the German embassy further
foundations of the great temple OF
Jupiter built by Tarquin the superb.
that other last of the kings.

Algerian Women Waking Up.

In no countries have the barriers
which have hedged women In been
broken down to larger extent by the
war than in Mohammedan countries.
The women in Algiers have taken
charge Of the estates and businesses
and handled the money of their hus-
bands who have gone to fight or who,
in many cases, have gone to France
to work in munitions plants and facto-
ries for higher wages than those they
can command at home. The women

New States to Start RIGHT

The Jews are being urged to adopt
the single tax as the sole means of
raising revenue for the new state of
Zion, and it will probably be adopted.
Similarly appeals are being made to
the new state of Armenia to adopt the
same system. Will anyone have the
nerve, to- suggest that these new gov
ernments go back to the system of
the private ownership Of land that OBJ
tains in the United States? Every one
knows that that would be advancing

Tax Away Taxes.

Now substitute this sum for the sums
raised by taxation and you have the
complete idea-that is, all taxes should
be abolished entirely. Now you see
you may thrash around and beat about
the bush on all phases of the question,

can imagine all kinds of disasters, but
