WILL TRY TO SAVE WORKS OF FAMOUS MOUND BUILDERS"

Of opinion were actuated by common
opposition to what became known as
wisconsin, are today falling asun-
der. The serious feature of the sit
uation from the party's point of view
is not that the party is not working
tremendously, but that the fundamen-
tai differences between Republicans
are today as great, if not actually
greater, than they were in 1912"
And then, as if to show the helpful
and constructive efforts of the Demo-
Gratis in behalf of honest taxation, the
Post adds:
"The Democrats have seized this
opportunity to propose to the Pro-
gressive Republicans certain definite
amendments which might be written
into the pending tax bill to make it
more acceptable to both"
All Of this, mind you, comes from

cided that it was so good, that it
should not die, so at once asked all
the trade papers, printers magazines,
and the great printers supply houses
what they thought of the idea.
The officers of the National Edi-
torial Association were written to,
and in fact some two hundred letters
were sent out.
The result was, that everyone wrote
that the idea was just the thing, and
by common consent it was decided
that the week of November 7 to IL
be adopted as the week to be known
as Subscribe For Your Home Town
Paper Week" ..., .
1t is now up to the newspapers of
the country, the home town papers,
to see the wonderful possibilities of
such a week, where in every locality
readers will be asked to subscribe for
the local weekly, and in addition to
the home town paper where they were
born-if they were not born where
they now live. -
In this way, every home town paper
will help every other home town pa
per, and by concentrating the efforts
to one week, or three or four weeks,
the home town paper will receive the
publicity it is entitled to.
The home town paper is ever ready
to "boost" for the other fellow, to
Print item after item about this and
that kind of day or week-the time
has come for it to boost and blow its
bugle for itself, to print several col
umns about itself and all home town
papers, to put on a campaign of pub
licity, and take advantage of what
other papers will do.
In other words, throw its hat into
the ring, and put up fight that will
get it somewhere instead of sitting
On the side lines and hollerin' for the

Surtax Reduction of Rich 80 Times
Greater Than of Others

Concerning the favoritism shown
the rich taxpayer in the reduction of
surtaxes in the Republican tax bill,
Senator Simmons in his masterful dis
cussion of the measure said:
"Surtaxes have been reduced from
65 per cent to 32 per cent. They have
come down to the deadline in that
way, and what is the result? The re-
suit is that these 10000 taxpayers on
the upper side of that line are to get
further reduction in their taxes, a
little stipend from the people of the
United States, of $90.O00,000 year,
while those 100000 taxpayers, earn
ing between $4,000 and $4,000 year
by toll and investment and all The eff
forts which characterize the miscel-
laneous population of the country, get
a reduction of only $18,000,O00 on ac-
count of the surtax.
every single solitary man who
stands on the upper side of that line
this modified army of millionaires
that has just finished its successful
drive against Congress and the Ma
tional Treasury-has got his surtax
rate cut. 1t has ben cut more than
one-half. That is the millionaire
class who, VIXEN the members of it
want their taxes cut down, becomes
a begger class, begging aims of the
government and of the hundred mil
lion Of people of this country. They
get their surtaxes cuti n half.
Glow about the poor unfortunates
who are below that dead line which
the Republican party has drawn?

EFFICIENCY IN
BURNING UP MONEY

We call your attention, kind read
er, to the worlds most efficinet "burn-
err of money!. Referring, of course,
to the modern battleship.
Uncle Sam is on the eve of putting
into commission the tremendous
dreadnaught Maryland" She will
have cost FORTY-TWO MILLION
DOLLARS from start to finish,
enough money to build and equip 200
handsome school houses in the state
of Maryland-each handsome and big
enough to house 1000 pupils.
The Maryland has eight 16-inch
guns, each of which cost $256,OOO. A
few shots-a dozen or so-puts such
a gun in the scrap pile; burns up a
quarter of a million dollars in a sort
of off hand manner.
But in addition, each shot costs $751;
900 for powder, metal, shell mechan-
ism. etc. You couldn't shovel $40
bills into your furnace fast enough to
equal the Maryland's little trick OF
burning up money.
Then for upkeep each year the
MARYLAND win cost $750,000-three-
quarters of a million, not counting
salaries. The wage bill is another
100000 a month--which amounts to
one million, two hundred thousand a
year. Thus, it will cost two million
dollars year to keep the Maryland
in commission. You could hire one
thousand professors year for that
sum.
Whittier are we going? How long
can this country stand such expendi-
lures?
Bloodshed, barbarism and the ut
ter bankruptcy of mankind are not far
ahead unless the nations "come to"
pretty soon.

HUMANITY'S REAL NEWS
IN HOME TOWN PAPERS
. by r. T. Porte. Written for this
newspaper

1t is a notable fact that with all
the wonderful things that have been
written about the so-called country
new spapaz", very few of them real
i2e all their possibilities, or what an
influence they are in the world.
1t is also a notable fact that very
few of the readers of those papers
realize what loss it would be to them
and to the world if the Country pa
per" should cease to exist.
The large papers. with immense
calculations, tell of "world happen
ings" as they understand them, and
display heads telling of the latest
scandals, prize fights. and the mis-
fortunates of humanity.
But, it remains for the "local pa
per-" the country weekly, the
"home town paper, to really give the
news of the world, or that of Mr..
Common People and his wife.
1t is time that the country newspa-
per should do something to place it
self on higher plane, and also make
some noise. Just one paper to start
something would not amount to much,
but if $4,000 country papers would
join in the chorus, noise that would
go around the world would be the re-
suit.
Some time ago l was going through
some trade paper, or bulletin of a
state press association, or something
of that kind, and noted that somebody
wrote that it might be good idea to
