TAXES VS. TARIFF
(From Boston Post)-

Any tariff measure that is passed now, with the foreign exchanges in chaotic condition and with the new lineup in foreign trade all a matter of conjecture, may be obsolete and practically worthless in a few months. On the contrary a revision of taxes with a lowering of the war rates on surtaxes would immediately tend to release capital for commercial pur- poses.
 There is not much sense in protect ing business that does not exist. Bur that is how Congress is fooIing away its time while business that might be developed is waiting to hear what one of the basic costs is to be

VALUES ARRANGED
 UNSClENTIFICALLY

The amount shown in the city's bal ance sheet was arrived at through an examination of the vouchers paid after January l, he claims, and from data supplied by the various city de- partmentS.
 Since the accounts of the city are kept upon a purely cash basis in the auditors office, there is no record for liabilities for materials and supplies purchased and services rendered up to December 31, 1920, which were not paid for at that tine-
 Part of the report is in the form of an operating statement of revenues accrued and expenses incurred con- trasted in such a manner as to show the resulting surplus or deficits.
 In this statement, MT Lill claimed that due to the method of keeping the accounts of the city, the books in the auditors office show a deficit of S9456, ,343.14 which is converted into a surplus of 10,790, ,490.9S, due to the bringing into account of assets of the city which are not recorded d on the books of the auditor
 The greatly increased amount of accrued surplus over the cash sur plus," he went on to say, lis due to the fact that the balance due on the arbitrary estimate by the auditor GOV ering collections from property and personal taxes for prior years is s457,4O9.44 Less than the actual ac- counts receivable after p per cent. of property and 75 per cent. Of per sonal taxes have been deducted to cover uncOll ectable items; and the further fact that there is included in the unexpected balance of appropria- tions an amount of SIS, 5000 to cover tax deficits. Nothing has been charg- ed against this appropriation and it is supposed to have been taken care of in the per cent. deduction from the tax on the grand list
 Again dealing with. a report of Auditor Heating, he said, ''The audi Er n a at January l. 1921, printed as a minute of the Common Council is misleading, as it contains balances of bond funds carried in the general 1edgeer, and these amounts have also been in creased in some instances by the amount of authorized bond sales which had not been made at the time his report was rendered He had also included amounts for anticipated col fections which were applicable to specific expenditures"

ARE EXECUTIVES LESS EEFI- CLIENT THAN THOSE UNDER
 THEM?

When the railway employees spokes- man told the Railroad Labor Board that the railroads could save a thou sand million dollars by far more eff c:ent management, the statement was scoffed at It was sarcastically ask ed if wage-earners who have never been able to rise far themselves were smarter than those who had won their way towards the top. The gen eral disposition was to take it for granted that railway executives knew their business and couldn't be taught very much by those under them
 Yet here comes a responsible com mittee appointed by Herbert Hoover when head of the American Eng1n- eering Council and makes the delib- crate statement that ''the responsi- bility for more than 50 per cent of the waste in industrial processes can be laid at the door of the manage ment and less than 25 per cent. at the door of labor!"
 The committees report would fill a large volume, so thoroughly was the whole subject investigated. Some of the findings are startling. For ex- ample, 75 per cent of the deaths and serious accidents in industry could be prevented through the general use of safety methods already available; apart from everything else, this would save three-fourths of the annual eco- homie loss. from these causes, of $3,- 900, 100000. Industrial accidents to- tailed 3,0OO.O00 in 1919. The eff ficiency of certain industries IS rated thus: Building industry 60 per cent efficient; shoe industry 65 per cent; average metal plant from 70 to 75 per cent. The margin of unemploy- ment, the committee found, amount ed to more than a million men. Bill lions of dollars are tied up in idle equipment High labor turnover Is one of the commonest forms of seri- ous waste. Both employer and em- ployeeS restrict output.-Forbes Mag azine (N-Y-)-

 Holt has deeds for the three lots, and is fully protected. He purchas- ed the lots in 1914, and but a short time later was approached by Salt man to buy the land The deal fell through and was never brought up again until Berg opened negotiations early last, March.

THE HATTERAS PIRATES.
From the Hartford courant)

CFrom the Hartford Courant).
 The report of the ravages of the Bolshevik pirate ship off Hatteras Is one of the most obvious effects of the recent spell of weather. While some of the missing ships were mis- sed in February, the romance of their fates awaited a time so not that it would be accepted by a. pubt1c over-wrought by physical conditions
 Bolshevik steamers have to get fuel and that can only be got from the shore. What are the ports of this marauder? It is incredible. The marvel of ship under full sail with the table set and everything in order and not a soul on board is no new thing. Every once in a while this story of course, with another name for the vessel, is reported In fic- ton it is one of the first favorises There are mysteries of the sea and these were before the mystery of Bolshevism developed
 Anbody who chose could gather the prevailing sea stories and build a good sensation on them at any time. There is more reason for believing Tn the sea-serpent than in the Bolshevik pirates. The question in our mind is, how long will this tale last?

SAYS THROW AWAY
TOOTH PASTES

A recent investigation made by
prominent dental authorities disclosed
the surprising fact that most tooth
pastes and powders do a serious harm
to gums and teeth instead of helping
them.
Tooth pastes contain coarse gritty
substances, 1t was found, which grad
ually wear tiny holes In the teeth
where decay germs can enter. Also
tooth pastes and powders break the
membranes Of the gums where the
germs of pyorrhea and other danger
GUS mouth diseases quickly gain foot
hold.
The only safe way to keep the teeth
and mouth free from disease and de-
cay germs is to use a thoroughly anti
septic liquid mouth wash such as Ster
oline. Being liquid, Steroline gets
between the teeth and cleanses all the
hidden spots which ordinary tooth
pastes and powders cannot reach.
Steroline keeps the mouth cool, sweet
and fresh, stops bleeding gums and is
a real preventive of the many diseases
contracted through the mouth. Brush
your teeth with 1t as often as you like.
You will never change, because Stero-
line gives the results and safety you
have always looked for.--Adv.
