what home OF Ger tain size or style
will cost in their immediate localities.
and by consulting them the prospec-
tive builder will get reliable figures.
Without doubt the most satisfac-
tory method Of securing a home is
to build it. BY building the owner
gets home of the right size for his
family; its exterior appearance and
interior arrangement will conform to
his ideas of how a home should be
laid out, and he will be able to keep
his requirements within the range Of
his financial ability.
This is the year Of home building
and every man Of family who has
been paying the high rents now de.
handed Is either building a home Of
his own or considering building one.
While it is considerable of an under
taking to assume the financial obliga-
tons necessary in most cases. when
the home is finished. the owner Is
more than compensated.

name is sometimes applied to verses
which are merely mixture of Latin
and the unadulterated vernacular of
the writer. This type Of verse has

During the last few years one idea
about home building has been radical
Iy changed. That idea is regarding
the size Of the house. There was a
time not so many years ago when
practically every one who built
house had in it a number Of "spare"
rooms. There was q parlor on the
first floor that was seldom used IN
less there was company. A spare"
bedroom. or two, usually was incor-
porated into the plan for the second
floor. Now there are practically no
spare" rooms, while in the cities
many homes and nearly all apart
ments are constructed so that one or
two rooms do double duty-are used
daytimes as living room or a din

beds become bedrooms at night.

room for a medium-sized family Is the

THE poll tax is not a bonus tax.

THE poll tax is not a bonus tax.
L 1t is unfair to our service
men to refer to it as such.
The bonus law did not contem-
plate poll tax. When the people
of this state demanded a bonus
law for our service men, and when
they voted for it by overwhelm-
ing majorities, they did not have
a poll tax in mind.
The poll tax is unjust and dis
criminatory. The bonus is just
and right.
If the bonus law could not have
been obtained except by forcing
a poll tax upon the people Of this
state, it is possible that many sol
diers and sailors would have will
ingly foregone the bonus.
Our service men are too big and
too brave to ask something that
is not right.
And the poll tax, violating the
essential principle of taxation
that it should be borne by those
able to pay in the proportion of
their ability, is NOT right.
To mention the poll tax, there
fore, in the same breath as the
bonus, is an insult to the veterans
of this state.
The poll tax is an invention Of
politicians at Olympia, mainly the
same politicians who at first OPP
posed the bonus. The poll tax is
a scheme to make small property
owners and rent payers assume
taxes that should be borne by
larger property owners. That's
all there is to it
1t is claimed the poll tax will
raise between two or three million
