dinance for regulating and licensing
signs and billboards.
This matter has been pending for
several months, and it is the desire
Of the present City Council to take
some definite action The tentative
draft Of the ordinance provides for
the height of signs and billboards,
distance from the roof or edge OF a
building, or distance from building
and street line If on a vacant lot. The
ordinance, after it has been submit
ted to City Solicitor John w. Hux-
ley to ensure the legality of its pro-
visions, will provide for a license fee
to conduct business, a fee for permit
to erect a sign, and a charge for each
square foot or span of % feet or
fraction thereof.
A delegation Of local junk deal
ers, headed by John Stirlith, Of
Stirlith & Bro, succeeded in induc-
ing City Council to reduce the IL
cense fee for wagons from $50 to
S25, but failed to obtain a reduc-
ton in the license fee for junk deal
ers' stores, which is 5000 under an
ordinance enacted three years ago.
The junk dealers pleaded that trade
is dun and that the license fee
required would drive some of them
out Of business. The selling price
Of junk, Mr.. Stirlith said, has drop
ped S5 per cent in the past two
years, and newspapers from s2.10
to 20 cents per hundred. Mr.~Stirlith
also pointed out that other lines of
business are not being taxed as
heavy as the JUNK dealers in pro-
portion to the amount of business
they do. Acting President Alexan-
der r. Abrahams told the delega-
J tion that it was at the solicitation
, of the junk dealers themselves that
the existing license tax was fixed by
City Council three years ago. In
reply to pleas Of business being bad,
some of the Councilmen expressed
the opinion that the junk dealers
are not the only ones suffering from
business depression.

takers, and a delegation of taxicat

HE WANTED TO BE HANG.
ED QUITE PUBLICLY

A Chicago murderer who
was hanged one fine morning
recently. kept the newspaper
readers of that city entertain
cd during the last week Of his
life with his denunciations of
capital punishment. One day
10 suggested that they pub
licly hang him in Grant park,
which is the lake front adjac.
ent to the business section and
its teeming millions. He said
that hundreds Of thousands
would see him swing and that
the gruesomcncss Of capital
punishment would be too
much for IS per cent of them.
He forgot to speak about the.
effect on those hundreds of
thousands if they had all wit
messed the fearful spectacle
when he walked into a restaur-
ant and shot the proprietor
dead, nor the gruesomeness to
the people in the dining room
when the murdered mans
blood was spattered over their
tables. We rather imagine
that those diners thought pref
lty well of capital punishment
at that particular moment and
wished that they could pull the
rope.
Thus it is with all assassins.
They forget about their vict-
ms whose joyous lives they
have blotted out. of the wives
and mothers and children
whom they have stricken with
grief. They only think of their
own miserable selves-of the
terrible thing it is for the law
to take a life that had no com.
Function in blotting out anoth-
or life.
Perhaps capital punishment
should be abolished in the pro-
,motlon of a greater civiliza.
ton, but certainly there are
two sides to the question.

JUST RESTING

When a fellow brings up at
the end of a long run he is tir-
ed and wants a rest. He wants
TO look around a little before
ne takes another squirt.
That about represents the
business situation today.
1t has been moving at a wild
ana strenuous pace for a nun.
cbr OF years, and now the per
iod of relaxation is at hand.
1t is resting and sizing up
the situation before it begins
another gallop.
we have much the same
thing at every presidential
election.
AS the time approaches for
the incumbent to retire from
Office business interests begin
to wonder what the new man
will be - and WHAT HE
WILL DO.
Capital always has an eye
open for breakers ahead. It
never goes blindly onto the
rocks of uncertainty.
After the new president has
been inaugurated, and uncer-
tainties begin TO crystalize in
tC something definite, business
will be able to make a fairly
accurate survey and determine
just what line of action it is
advisable to take.
That, in all likelihood, will
