 The small independent manufacturers of dyes are not clamoring for embargo only the great Chemical Foundation with confidence in its ability, if an embargo is established, to smother competitor in this country.
 We cannot but believe that the advocates of the embargo the ground that should encourage chemical development for defensive purposes. indulging in bald and barefaced bunk. offering a ridiculous appeal to patriotism But it is neces- sary that chemical should be stimulated and encouraged. why may 1t not be done by an out and out and definite subsidy?

 Before the dyes came from Germany though some made in this country by Germans using secret formulae. We believe there other dye industry in this country. The dyes excellent and cheap, marvelously cheap that  could not realize it until the war put upon the miserable substitutes turned out in this country in the name dyes. high priced and disintegrating of textiles that manufacturers of silks longer dared offer the usual guaranties Of their durability

Once my life was a thing of pain; Worn. down-trodden, I knew the strain Of labor amid the city's sush; But now for me Is the winds cool rush And woods and hedgerows darting by As in voluptuous curves I fly, Swinging along like a swallows flight Sweeping and swaying. swift and light, Cool, lower-scented, and clear, the air Sweeps from sky that is blue and fair: Below, the ribbon-white road slips past nd I above it ride free at last.

What Makes Taxss

Nearly always when tax levy has been liked IT It is higher than that of the previous the op- position raises a cry of extravaganza and unneces- burden. If lower. the party in power points to 1t with the pride of accomplishment.
 State city and county administrations hold the tax rate out as the ultimate goal of good government when as a matter of fact tax rate standing alone signifies nothing It is incomplete the problem. How old is Ann?"
 The tax rate cannot be compared intelligently with previous tax rate unless the valuation to be multiplied by rate is compared with the previous valuation Juggling with percentages does not clari- fly the situation there been changes in both factors-that is in both rate and valuation For in stance if a valuation has been reduced 25 per cent ard the increased 100 per cent. the tax will be increased 66 z-3 per cent.
 A The taxpayer is always hit in a tender spot his pocket. He is apt to finch whenever that spot is threatened and he takes alarm whenever he is told Is about be threatened So he Is apt to give much attention the subject of tax rates standing alone and meaningless The only way for the average taxpayer to make comparison is to put his bill year with his bill the previous year. Then he will know how much less he is pay ing but he may not know why he is paying more lesss he may not be unless he has followed closely legislation which alone determines the vol ume of taxes Governors and officials cannot deter mine that except through such influence they  have with the legislature
 In any session of the legislature certain min- inum amount must be set aside fer the support of the governmentto keep the officers and inst- tutions running salaries for officials, for clerical services for certain travelling and contingent ex- penses Though generally Is set aside for these purposes than Is necessary 1t does not vary greatly from year to year and is by means all nearly all of the legislative provision for expenditure.
 For the rest the administration Is in way re- sponsble. nor are officials Democratic or Repubu- Lobbies of outsiders lie down the legislators The latter importuned by their constituents who want bridge here. road there Others want . commission of sort set up. A thousand hands are extended toward the treasury and many of them get in.
 Many of these and extraordinary expen- ditures perhaps wise and profitable Ii may to the interest of taxpayers that of them
 should be made. So in his comparison that is an other thing the taxpayer to consider and sett. himself unconfused by the clamor of politicians

When was lonely and broke and blue;
 A sad bedragged and dreary sinner, forget, old friend, that you
 Took out to your house for dinner! Oh had had sympathy enough,
 Plenty of friendly words were spoken; But somehow all of that line of stuff
 Left my will and my spirit broken. But you were the who gripped my hand,
 Smiled in my eyes with your warm eyes shining, And said, haggard you scanned,
 T say, oldtimer, where you dining?" You the who grabbed
 And dragged away, in fashion jolly; To good home meal and welcome warm
 That lifted out of my melancholy You put courage into my soul Till most of my troubles forgotten; You made think that, the whole,
 Perhaps existence rotten; And thus my fortunes began to mend
 left your domicie like winner, And know that the royalest sort of friend
 Is the who carries you home to dinnerl
