Press Comment
Near East Relief


Near east relief is something which
ought to be much nearer 70 our hearts
than the scenes of desolation are to
us geographically. A touch of pity
makes the whole world akin. When
people are actually and helplessly
starving to death, it is time to lay
aside our partisan whims and national
anttpathies, and give the human ele-
ment in us full play. Feeling this
way aboet it, we are trusting that
the people of Chattanooga will make
generous responses to the wide flung
Macedonian cry now being heard in
our midst. The appeal seems irresist-
ible to a Christian heart.
This newspaper feels gratified in
noting the awakening of our people
to the awful situation in some foreign
countries. More than a year ago we
incidentally gave a start to a local
movement to aid in this work of sal
vaging human beings, and while there
was much indifference, some $4,000
came as offerings from tender hearts
to help the helpless. Now, the need
has grown upon us and the whole
country has heard the call. In this
situation we believe Chattanooga will
do her full duty. She nearly always
does.-Chattanooga News.

Governor Hardee Begins

Governor Hardee Begins
Governor Hardee has announced his
first plan for bringing about badly
needed reform in the taxation scheme
of the state by calling the tax assess
ors together for a conference with a
view to making assessments in all
counties uniform. A workable plan
may be long in development, but the
start is in the right direction.
Under the present practices taxa
ton laws passed by the legislature
do not have full effect, especially those
designed to support the school sys-
tens Of the state, all because each
county keeps it's valuations as low az
possible in order to keep from paying
into the state treasury any more than
1t has to. This plan is obviously, a
detrirnent to the progress of the state.
Millage for school purposes is limited
and the lower the valuations are re-
duced the less the schools get in pro-
portion to other institutions supported
by county taxes.
If all the counties of the state would
assess a full value, the state nillage
would be reduced and all would pay
alike. The millage in all counties
would be reduced and it would not go
out to the world that the average
mi1lage in Florida is about forty.
There are many other very serious de-
fects and evils in the present system,
which prevails entirely through suf-
ferance, and if Governor Hardee is
successful in having a general revision
of the plan he will have done the
state a service which will repay any
obligation he may be under to the

Meat Industry Regulation Bill

The senate by a decisive majority
passed the bill providing for control
of the packing industry. There was
no Itartisan division.
The bill would create a federal live
stock commission of three members,
appointed by the president, to have
jurisdiction over the livestock indus
try. This commission would have DOW
er TO issue orders, collect and dissent
nate information, have access to pack
ers' books and have general super,vi
sion over packers, stock yards, COM
mission men and similar agencies. Re
view Of the livestock commissions or
ders would be provided by the bill.
which also prescribes rules for conduct
of the packing business and stimula-
tons against monopoly, unfair trade
practices, engaging in unrelated
industries and other similar acts. Vol
untary licensing of packers also is pro-
vided
The tendency toward governmental
regulation of business is not altogether
free from concern as to how far it
may go before it becomes more re-
strtctive of individual initiative than
it is Of benefit to producers and con-
sumers. Since it is almost certain
that the bin will be passed by the
house, we may soon have an actual
demonstration of business regulation
that will be a guide for a permanent
course. 1t is to be hoped that it will
not prove an expensive lesson.-Miami

Adventures of
The TIUins
THE BEAR AND THE wALRUs
BY Olive Roberts Earto:,

TIE DEAN AMI Tx "ALnOS
1t was odd that an iceberg should
appear in. the ocean right under the
twins as they sailed through the air
in their Green Shoes toward the cave
of the bad fairy called Snitcher-
Snatch.
Had they not been so curious, no
doubt they would have been across the
world in no time, and on their way
back with all the stolen toys. But
little folks are curious, you know, and
if you were to see an iceberg so near
to you, particularly one that looked
exactly like a castle, I'm sure you
would wish yourself upon it at once.
That is, if you had Magic Shoes. Well,
having Magic Shoes right on their
feet, and having the usual amount of
curiosity in their minds, Nancy and
Nick wished themselves onto the ice
berg without losing a minute.
Down they came floating ever so
quietly through the air, and landing on
top of the roof. Yes, it was a roof
the iceberg had, and the nearer they
came the more it looked like a cas-
tie. Then the twins discovered that
il was a castle indeed.
Round a turret at that minute came
a huge white figure growing dread
fully.
Nancy screamed. ooh, Nick, it's a
bear. Where shall Re go?'
whats the matter?' exclaimed the
polar bear gruffly. 81 won't hurt you.
My growl is worse than my bite. Be
sides I'm not hungry. I've just eaten
a large fish. But. look out for my
friend the walrus!"
The walrus overheard and gave a
sort of sharp bark. Just wait, I'm
coming" he snorted. MY eyes are
too little to see what you are, but you
smell good. and my teeth are sharper
than my eyes. Are you seals or fish,
or sea-birds? I think I saw you fly

"We're twins Nick told him.

THE CREATION OF A SELF.

TIE ShENiioiN VT - 0EIFS
The first Of duties is the creation Of
a self. This is the more easy and the
more difficult because every man
starts with the work already far ad-
vanced. His height and form and the
color of his eyes and hair are de-
termined by the conveyance in him
of lines of ancestry that reach back
to Adam, and he cannot by taking
thought work any material change in
these parts of himself. We are what
we are. in part, because of hereditary
influences which we cannot trace, or
can trace in part only.
The infant knows no boundary Of
division between himself and the
world. 1t is a great day for him when
he learns that the little pink hand
waving before his face is under his
control, and another great day when
he discovers that the little pink toe
which he has succeeded in getting into
his mouth responds to his advances
with a sensation different from that
which he feels when he chews cor
ner of his blanket. He has begun to
discover himself.
This wonderful thing which we call
self is not wholly matter of hered
only necessary component. There is
in every man a something which
makes him not only like every other
man, but something which makes him
individually unlike other men. He who
seeks to ignore the element of likeness
will find himself an Ishmael with his
hand against the hand of every other
man: but he who seeks TO ignore that
in himself which makes him a self has
committed the objectionable sin. For
him there is'no hope: he has become
a suicide of his own personality.
The late German kaiser could not
hire or bride or compel any other man
to sit in a dentists chair while an
American dentist filled the kaiser's
teeth by proxy. Every man must suf-

ITO the Editor:-
II see in some OF our state papers

bill, oassed by the 1917 Legislature. to
go into effect Jan. /. 1921, Is not

The pay Of all county officials shall

applied to all pedestrians. Everyone

road, where he has legal and moral
right to be, takes his life in his hands.
