VACATION.

VACATION.
The greatest boyhood JOY I knew
Was when the days Of school were
thru
And we were free. What greater JOY
Was ever known 10 girl or boy
Than when they turned the school
door key
And set the shrieking youngsters
free?
The last few weeks seemed like a
year
To me. The world 80 full Of cheer.
outside; the flowers all abloom
The fragrant breath Of their perfume
Kept cOaxing me 10 steal away
From school and work 10 romp and
play.
There I would sit with mind afar,
out where the joys Of nature are
Just dreaming OF the joy I'd find
When cares of school were left be
hind.
Neglected, there. my books would lay
While l dreamed study hours away.
Yet today the seifsame JOY
/ knew when I was but a boy
Comes over me the time Of year
Vacation time Is drawing near.
JOY. 10 ramble off somewhere
Away from work and worldly care.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
The terrible Turk, we are told,
Was modest and gentle and shy.
BY the kindest OF instinct controlled,
Till the day that his country went
dry.
But as soon as the Prophet Mo-
hamet had banned
All drink with a kick as unlawful.
And barrooms were banished all
over the land,
The Ottoman's conduct was awful.
The Russians, observers declare,
Were always light-hearted and
gay.
Misconduct among them was rare,
Till their vodka was taken away.
The moment, however, that Russia
went dry
The cruelest impulses stirred 'er
And now she awakens the echoing
sky
with riot and bloodshed and muir
der.
This data would lead one to think
That people whose natures are
mild,
As soon as deprived OF their drink
Forthwith become savage and
wild
| We say in our haste. When the
booze is served out
With quite unrestricted profusion.
l It puts all the violent MISSIONS to
rout"
But that's mistaken conclusion.
/ It's not that all hootch is suppressed,
AS ill-jnformed students assert,
/ That rouses the peacefullest breast
To acts that are sadly overt;

4 TAXLESS CITY.

There will be no more taxes in Long Beach
Calf. say the news dispatches An oil gusher has
been struck city property and It's revenues will
be more than sufficient to run the government pro-
vide for improvements. and pay al the bills.
Advocates Of the single tax theory Of taxation
viii find in this municipal phenomenon new argu-
for their theory that all cities should really
be taxless pay citizens rather than
to require contributions.
They will point the fact that every city
great social values which now in the hands of
individuals but which. they assert the result
Of the toll OF generations and maintained by the
common labor OF all citizens.
The oil well at Long Beach happened to be on
a bit Of property poor and undesirable to pay
taxes and was taken over from its original owners
for failure to Fay assessments for improvements.
Had it remained in private hands, the oil would
have gone TO its owners his heirs. quite likely
in that city TO live in Europe or some far distant
state; VINO had made direct contribution
10 the growth and building OF the city other than
the investment of a few dollars
That oil well makes the property vauable--but
with all It's gushing wealth less valuable than a
similar plot would be the corner Of Forty-sec-
ond St and Broadway in New York
Madison in Chicago
The value at Long Beach comes from beneath
the surface. The values Of the other plots in the
great cities from the fact that millions OF
people must pass these daily in their reg
ular business, creating by merely living near
them
1t required special genius or thought on the
part of the original owners or these corners 10
make them valuable. The values are not created by
the great buildings erected upon them These
could be torn down-and they are torn down and
replaced with larger about every ten years
and the land values would still remain.
There are sources ofw wealth that have vet baan
untapped traced to their original causes
Not every city has oil gushers beneath its soil
But every city has communal values quite as rich
and some day. perhaps, in a changing system which
already includes taxes, inheritance taxes and
other so-called soclalistc theories there will come
the time when cities a whole take stock Of
their real assets.
Taxless cities may. in time become the rule not
the exception.
