a level that approximates the pre-war rate. So
long as taxes are onerous, they will figure prom
inently in the cost of production and consequent
ly will manifest themselves in the high prices
which the consumers must pay for commodities.
The tax problem is not local to America alone
but is a burning question all over the world Ev-
cry nation is suffering from the imposition of
high taxes to raise funds for the administration
of governmental affairs. Expansion of business is
impeded and desire to undertake new projects
langushes under the burden. Wherever you turn
you hear the complaints Of people seeking relief.
s. Federal taxes cannot be reduced until the cost
of conducting the government becomes less
When billions required where formerly mil
lions suffced the taxpayers are the ones who
keenly feel how expensive modern government
has become. #..> .-.- r. ~ s..'+
Partly we are to blame for the condition.
Eliminating the war costs and the moneys that
are expended to pay for the military and naval
establishments, we find constantly increasing
appropriations for new services which we de-
mand from the government. So long as We make
demands for services, which past generations
did not ask of the government we will be forced
to pay the bill for the additional expenditures.
u Congress cannot reduce appropriation bills if
we make demands for services from the govern
ment, and insist that our representatives vote for
them. Many of us do not realize that we pay for
every service which the government gives. Some
of us seem to believe that the payment of gov
ernmental expenses does not fall on every citizen
of the country either in direct or indirect taxa
ton.
If more of us knew that it isn't select few
but the whole country that pays the appropria-
tons which are made by congress- we would hes
itate before we advocated the expenditure of vast
sums of money.
1t is folly to believe that the "other fellow"
pays the cost of conducting the government.
Every one pays his share. If we want prices to
retain pre-war basis, taxes must come down J,
but they cannot be reduced very much if we ex-
pect the state and national legislatures to appro
pirate money lavishly for purposes that could be
omitted from the bills. Our appeals for economy
are vapid expressions if we do not cease asking
congress to make additional appropriations I.

Oh. forty learned professors toiled
on, the long years through: they were
not cheap-iohn- guessers they knew the
things they knew; the midnight oil
was burning that they might gather
learning; all designations spurning,
they delved where knowledge grew
They toiled while vain carousers
assailed the winners watts, and they
wore baggy trousers and prehistoric
hats; for men of learning never get
much for their endeavor: the coins
for fellows clever at punching others
Stats. The fighter meets fighter, eX-
changing foolish swats; and then the
winning blighter with Colonel Croesus
trots; who would not be a bruiser
when cen the battered loser becomes
wealthy snoozer, and buys some city
lots? A Dempsey calmly seizes two
hundred thousand bones for whipping
sundry cheeses or inefficient drones;
but oh, the men Of learning! They
always are returning to pawnshops
with a yearning to get some transient
loans. They soak their books of
knowledge, they soak their cows and
cats; their sons must go to college,
their wives must have new hats; their
income is SO slender each wears but
one suspender; pugs get the legal ten
der for smuggling domes and Stats.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TRUSTEES RESIGN
Officers of Publishing Society Disagree

BOSTON, Nov. 30-The trustees Of
the Christian Science Publishing society
submitted their designations to supreme
court yesterday following a disagreement
with the directors of the church as to the
method by which the trust should be
transferred, according to u statement
issued late last night.
The reason given for this action was
vigorously denied by Judge Clifford =.
Smith, chairman of the committee on pub
locations, who stated that no question of
the sort had arisen between the two
bodies and intimated that the designations
followed the determination of the trustees
not to cooperate with directors in any
way.
This action of the trustees, which as
was foreshadowed Il few days ago, again
throws the matter into court, petitions
that the court shall examine their ac-
counts. discharge them from further re
spOnsibility, appoint new trustees and

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 3O-A coun-

who Monday night invaded the home of
Col. w. Cooper Proctor, president of the
Proctor x Gamble Co, of Glendale, a
suburb of this city, and stole jewelry val
ued at from $4,000 to 100000.
Colonel Proctor was away on a hunt
ing trip and the bandits forced Mrs. Proc
ter, her sister, Miss johnson, and the
aged cook in the home to stand with their
faces to the wall when, with revolvers
drawn, they entered the house. Mrs. Proc
ter was compelled at the point of pistols
to 90 upstairs with two of the robbers
and open the safe which was in closet.
From this the bandit took the 'jewelry.
Before escaping the robbers made the
three women 90 into the cellar with them,
where they prepared to bind them with
ropes. Mrs. Proctor pleaded with them
not to do SO and asked them to picture
their mothers as being in their position
The bandits needed her plea but they
bundled the women into a laundry room in
the basement. The women finally escaped
by crawling through a cellar window.

plOyment to $50, OO0-Relief May
Be Temporary.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The ma
tional conference on unemployment has
been instrumental in putting between l.
100000 and 100000 idle men and wo-
men back to work, Secretary of Commerce
Hoover believes. .s.. .
Based on the last labor department
statement of 100000 unemployed, this
would be reduction of nearly .One-third
lin the nations idle in the last two months.
New roads will put 100000 more idle
men on payrolls soon, reports to the con-
ference Indicate. Governors of 30 states
have reported that, within two months,
they can start work on more than 5000
miles of road improvements.
Hoover made it plain he believed this
pickup of industry may be only temper
airy and that January and March may
see the gain entirely wiped out.
4 general revival of building has been
the biggest factor helping the unemplOy-
ment situation, reports to S. f. Hunt, Sec
rotary of the national conference, show.
Twenty-seven states, comprising the
northeastern section of the country, re-
ported the awarding of building contracts
involving S31S, 03O,600 in September, and
1894. 977, 900 in October, both figures set

step made in that business toward pre-

soon as increased business warrants them.
We have realized that our custom
ers must have lower prices" Mr. Johnson
said. and there has been a slight re-
duction in the price of supplies, BUT we
will keep the same wages, the same help,
and the same quality. OF course, we will
suffer temporary loss at the start, but
prices had to be loEer, and some one had
to begin. We are confident that in
sreased business will soon take care of
the loss
