Why Did Lentz
Come Back?
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.


G. w. Lentz, of Danube, Mimi,
motored lis miles to Minneapolis and
parked his car in noparking zone.
"A traffic officer tagged the auto with
a notification to report to the head of
the tariffc squad. Lentz, it is re-
ported, not being wise to city traffic
regulations, supposed the tag merely
an invitation to meet the traffic squad
head in a social way. So, after his
business or diversion in the city had
been attended to, he motored home.
There he learned, from more, travel
ed townsman, the significance of the
Tag, and the following morning he
notored another 115 miles to Mime
apo1is and reported to the head of the
traffic squad, who fell upon his
{Ientz's) neck and historically sob
bed out his emotion.
The adulation of Lentz seems bit
,overdone, and before subscribing to
the tribute as due an autoist who in
these iawdefying days drives lis miles
to obey the law, one should wish to
hear from Mrs. Lentz, and to have a
schedule accounting for every hour of
Lentz's time in the city. Why did he
go to Minneapolis in the first place
and where did he go after he parked
his auto? Was his manifestation of
civic virtue only pretense, an excuse

obedience to our laws.

ODeQlence TO our laws.
The Flag contains thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white, representing
the Is original states; and star for
each state of the Union. The Field
of the Flag is the stripes, and the Uni
on is the blue and the stars. The
coIors of the Flag are red, represent
ing valor; white representing purity,
truth and home; blue representing
loyalty, sincerity and justices; and its
stars representing the federal union.
The arrangement of the stars on the
Flag is regulated by law and executive
order. An executive order, issued
October 26,1912, provided for 48 stars
arranged in six horizontal rows OF
eight stars each Starting in the up
per left hand corner and reading each
row from left to right, gives the star
of each state in the order of the
states ratification of the Constitution
and admission to the Union. The star
representing Minnesota is the eighth
star of the fourth row, the 32d state
to ratify the Constitution and become
part Of the United States.
The dimensions of the Flag are fix
ed by an executive order issued May
Goth, 1916. The length should be just
10 times it's height. The Union, or
part of the Flag on which the stars
appear, should be seven stripes high
and its length .76 of the height of the
flag. The stars are five-pointed, with
one point directly upward. When a
new state is admitted the star is not
added to the flag until the Fourth of
July next succeeding the date of adj
mission. The Constitution is the
basis of all law, and the Flag is its
symbol Always respect it.
The Flag should be raised at sun
rise and lowered at sunset. It may
be raised at other times but should
never be left out overnight, except
when it is under the fire of an enemy.
On Memorial Day the Flag should be
displayed at half-staff from sunrise
until noon, and at the peak from noon
until sunset.
In raising the Flag to half-staff or
half-mast, it should always be run to
the peak and then lowered one breath
of the Flag In retiring it, it should
first be run back to the peak, then re-
tired. It should never be allowed to
touch the ground.
When the "Star Spangled Banner"
is played or sung, stand and remain
standing at attention in silence until
it is finished. When the flag is pass
ing on parade or in review, if you are
walking, halt; if sitting, rise, stand at
attention, and uncover.
The Flag should never be worn as
the whole or part of costume. AS
a badge it should be worn over the
left breast. In decorating, the Flag
should never be festooned or draped.
Always hung fiat. If hung so stripes
are horizontal, the Union should be
in theleft upper corner. If hung per-
pendicularly, the Union should be in
the right upper corner.
When the national flag and another
flag fly from the same pole there
should be double halyards, one for
each flag. The flag should never be
placed below person sitting. It
should never be used in such way
that it might become soiled. When

GEORGIA, $32s,2SO,OOO.
NORTH CAROLINA, $4l2,S74.OOO.
SOUTH CAROLINA, $2G2,61S,OOO.
ALABAMA, S24O,OOl,OOO,
VIRGINIA, S239,7S2,OOO.

In 1920, this crop if divided evenly
between all the people would have
given each one $111.63 apiece, while
in Alabama the same division would
have given each person $102.24 and in
Virginia $1O3.84.
\ OF this group Georgia is the richest
state per person. The assessed realty
valuation was $1,145,S17,052 while
Virginia shows $S23.534,709 and South
Carolina $2OS, 1S9,65O. These values
are the basis of taxation from which
source the state revenue is in the main
is secured. While corporations and
capitalists pay the tax, the amount
of that tax is added to the cost of
operation; and the man who buys the
ticket pays the tax; the corporation
or capitalist pays no tax, he acts as a
middle man and collects it from the
consumer. This total tax valuation
when prorated among the people is an
index of what each individual con
tributes to the maintenance OF the
government. In Georgia the assessed
realty valuation per capita Is $395.67

NORTH CAROLINA, $193,35.
SOUTH CAROLINA, $l23,63.

Assuming that the tax rates are
about the same or at least high enough
to afford the people good and eff
cient government, it stands to reason
that man in Georgia paying on 1895
should receive approximately three
times the protection that one in South
Carolina paying on only 1923 receives,
yet the opposite is true for the tax
payer in South Carolina receives just
three times the protection afforded
the tax payer in Georgia.

was $2O7.33 in Georgia and $169.SO in
Alabama The assessed realty valu-

life in Georgia is of no less value than
in Alabama, yet although the Georgia
citizen produced $3753 more and paid
taxes on 1854 more than the Alabama
citizen, Georgia invested only 81 cents
to protect that citizens health, while
Alabama invested 6.7 cents, more than
twice the amount for the same pur-
