u law enacted by the last legislature,
burlington is to attempt to encourage
the building of homes by exempting from
taxation for five years all structures
erected exclusively for residential pur-

An Opportunity for the Millionaire
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

It seems to be the working out of destiny that the surplus of wealth accumulated should be disposed or milonaires
 Every generation amasses more wealth than 1t needs The idea of this surplus being handled by the the representative of the collective peo pie is yet sociaistic dream At present the tenance of our institutions and the wherewhal for propagandas of progress must from individuals
 Millonaires are not very imaginative They are creatures of custom. They bestow their gfts there fore, almost entirely upon existing institutions.
 When man dies and leaves 900 he usually if he is benevoently inclined donates it to universities missionary societies libraries, churches, and the like.
 This is good There is no question but what it is better than the old plan of using ones fortune to endow family of noble idlers.
 But the trouble is that institutions grow old Very many of them are senile And instead of helping along the welfare of mankind, they distinctly impede it.
 There IS one direction which is hereby mended to all mlliOnaireS who may be looking about for some way to their money for the best interests of the human race
 And that is, to endow The School Republic. The School Republic is simply movement to begin the im provement of the human race at the place where it ought to be begun, that is, with the child
 We have institution called the Public School which is vaster and potential in its poss biities than any other institution in the world.
 The Public Schools have more to do with determin- ing the future of the nations and of mankind than any other organization.
 And it is very largely in the grip of the worn-out idea of autocracy.
 Schoorooms are little Prussias and school teachers are little Kaisers. f
 What children ought to learn and to be drilled in from the kindergarten to the last year in the unversty is above all things Self Government ! The School Republic is movement to teach Self Government to children.
 It Is supported and favored by those who believe in Democracy not only with their mouth but clear down to the soles of their feet.
 It is the only movement that is utterly and 100 per cent Democratic
 The School Republic proposes to make every school little replica of the United States to show the ch- dren how to elect their officers how to make their own laws and how to obey them
 It proposes to drill the children in Democracy and in Citizenship that when they come out of school they will not despse politics; but will be trained and enthusiastic politicians equipped govern themselves to take an interest in public affairs and by means of the education that they have received to make this na ton not collection of poor boobs managed by shrewd officeseekers but in all reality government "of the people, by the people and for the people"

whatever is saved or acquired is in part hers.
 There are several theories with which the modern domestic estab- lishment is experimenting. One is to make the home partnership and to have everything about the home held jointly. Another idea is for each of the contracting parties to hold his or her own share separately. In this plan the wife might receive a fixed salary for housework besides money set aside for her to pay certain of the bills. What she can save cut of her salary and expenses she puts away or spends to suit herself and the husband does likewise with his share of the budget.
 "What's Yours Is Mine"
 By some such scheme the home Of the business woman is apt to be run after marriage. But in many states it is only a courtesy arrangement by which the husband does not demand his legal rights. And in event of a disagreement or divorce. the wife finds that she has very little that her husband cannot control or in some states even dispose Of So. the femi- nine lawyers contend that the modern wife's scientific menage is built on shifting sand.
 It is difficult to get good many of the states to make sweeping changes in the old-fashioned, discriminating laws. women campaigners have found.
 Miss Maud Younger. legislative chairman of the woman's party, has said, Tn some states. like Louisiana and Alabama, which have just taken adverse action. it has already been shown to be practically impossible | to secure state laws. Further, state | laws are never permanent. The next state legislature may repeal the mea- sures passed by its predecessor" | Because of these facts, the wom- ans party is also working to have a | constitutional amendment adopted | giving women of the country legal equality with men. This amendment | is still in process of evolution. The party wants it to be worded so that it is foolproof and so that it com pletely covers the case Lawyers are now working on the amendment so that 1t can be introduced before congress shortly.
 The state bills and the amendment are intended to make secure wom- ems rights in such matters as owner ! ship and control of earnings, office holding. jury service, control of chil- dren. choice of domicile and name | The law of Louisiana provides that a wife must live where her husband decrees even if she supports him.
 It is interesting to note that in the 1 states where surveys have been made no statute provides that a woman must take the name of her husband Here is a right of which women
 might have availed themselves fol generations perhaps, yet few have done so. Those who went to law
 for their rights have, it seems. beer
 concerned with more vital affairs.
