4 Spain makes this statement:
ITO create an international journal
fhich shall be the expression of the
ommOn ideals that flourish beneath
Pie boy scouts flag throughout the
forld; and with that journal to CARRY
p the farthest corners of the earth
he common desire for physical and
poral redemption for which men OF
Goodwill In all climes are striving, will
e to endow with a new strength, with
PIE winged and powerful strength of
frltten thought, this gigantic crusade
universal brotherhood which already
|lnds with strong links the youth of
Pll countries, without distinction of
iace or frontier.
The boy scouts of Spain, who are
forking for their country and for their
elibelng, follow the Inspiration of
Paden-Powell's immortal doctrine,
Fanhot forget that they ara part of

Fney have brothers with the same de-

Negro Youths Make
Living Off Tails of
Rats; Get 'JiP Each

It isn't the redskin who bites the dust
at the point of the trusty weapons of
some of the kids of Indianapolis. It's
rats.
Since Jan. 1, 6,5Ss of the longtailed
rodents have been done to the death by
those who were wont to emulate Dead
wood Dick, There are records to prove
it at the city controllers office.
Late last year the Womens Department
Club conducted a rat determination week
One of the features of the campaign was
the appropriation by the city council
of $1,000 with which to pay bounty
of cents for every tail of a rat caught
in Indianapolis and brought to the city
hall The idea took hold with the young
sters so we'll that they continued to bring
in at-tails for several days after the
campaign closed, so city officials decided
to continue paying bounties as long as
the fund lasted.
At the beginning Of this year there
were 5000 left in the fund. To date there
has been paid $329.40. which at the rate
of five cents per tail equals 6s5SS tails
accounted for.
Several negro lads have been making
neat piece of pocket money every week.
as witness the fact that today one turned
in and was paid for ninety three tails,
others ninety-eight, lightweight, eighty
four and down to 'ffty-one, the lowest
number reported.
The tails are placed in disinfected con-
tainer and destroyed at the end of the day
to prevent Il health menace and to keep
enterprising youngsters from picking
some Of them up and bringing them back
for q second bounty.

LET THE WHOLE STATE BE INVESTIGATED

The MlddleSeX COuntv lax Dodru Id pooh hou"N
by the State Board of Taxes and Assessments to increase
valuations in this county. The state board declares that
it finds that property in Middlesex county has been as
sessed at less than fifty per cent. of its true value, in
Raritan township the assessment being but 1875 per cent.
of the true value. Under the law passed by the last legls-
lature the state board is given authority to go into any
county and demand a REIMBURSEMENT of assessments where
II has reason to believe the valuations are not at their true
value.
Morris county is in the same boat with Middlesex
in this regard. We have Union county to thank for the
action against Middlesex, while it was Essex county that
demanded action in regard to Morris. 1t remains to be seen
whether the State Board of Taxes and Assessment will wait
for complaints to be filed by one county against another
before going into the matter of local valuations, or whether
Il will proceed to investigate the entire state and bring
about a uniform re-adjustment everywhere.
Middlesex does not claim that taxation here has been
based on true value. 1t does maintain, however, that the
valuations here are as high as the average throughout the
state. While in one or two counties the assessments may
be higher, taking the state as a whole MiddleseN is no worse
than the majority Of the counties.
Now. the question is, does the Stale Board of Taxes
and Assessment expect to ignore all the other counties
unless there is a specific complaint lodged against them?
IN order to assure an equalization of assessments every
where must the counties begin a grand campaign against
each other?
Julging from the attitude of the state board when Nor
ris county asked for an investigation of assessments in
Essex county, it would seem to be necessary not only to
make charges again a county, but be able to convince the
state board than an investigation is really necessary.
This would mean that each county would have to begin
shopping around into neighborng counties in order to
secure the evidence necessary to induce the state board to
lake action. 1t is not a pleasant thing to do. In fact, many
counties even though knowing that the valuations are low
in another county will refrain from making charges because
it is human nature to dislike a squealer, so to speak.
1t ought not to be necessary for the different counties
10 be fighting each other in this manner. Now that the work
has begun and the state board has found such inequalities
in two of the counties, the only fair thing to do is to start
a systematic investigation to cover the entire state. 1t
cannot be that Middlesex and Morris counties are the only
culprits any more than Essex and Union can be the only
yirtuous ones.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-12-30
CHRISTMAS CLUBS AND THRIFT

There was recently paid out in this city a large amount
of money in the form of Christmas clubs. This has helped
"a three ways. 1t has enabled many people to have money to
pend for Christmas when they otherwise might have been
Short of funds; it has helped the merchants by giving many
people extra money to spend, and it has taught a lesson in
thrift that cannot be forgotten.
We don't know where this idea of Christmas clubs
originated, but it was one of the finest customs that has
ever been established. By putting a few cents away each
poses OF a little loose change in one way or another each
week without knowing where it goes to. But if at least
a part of this loose change is put in some Christmas fund
being conducted by the banks of this city it is gradually
aecumula6ng until, at Christmas time, just when one wants
money the most the little savings from week to week
come back in a goodly sum that is surprising.
And right here is the lesson in thrift about which we
have been hearing so much lately. If a few cents each
week will afford so much at Christmas time, why not a
systematic saving through an ordinary savings account
where the money can draw interest and then get interest
On interest until, in the course of a few years, it really
amounts to a tidy sum which can be used to invest proftably
or to help tide one over hard times?
Learning to save a little out of whatever one gets is the
Foundation of success in life. Never before have there been
so many inducements to save and never has the way to save
been made easier.
Incidentally, besides the personal advantage of syste-
matte saving, there is the advantage to the nation and to
society in general. The money that is gradually accumula-
ted in banks is, in turn, loaned out to assist business to get
hack on its feet. The quicker that business RECEIVERS from
the world upheaval caused by the war the quicker will pros
lperty return for all of us.
Christmas clubs are now being formed for next year.
They seem like small things in hemselves-mos of them
consist of putting aside Systematically nickels, dimes and
quarters, but their effect is nationwide. 1t is to be hoped
that the spirit of thrift will be instiled into the minds of
many as a result Of the Christmas clubs last year resulting
in the opening Of many regular savings accounts; at the
same time, may the list of Christmas clubs for the coming
year be the largest ever.
