THRIFT AND LIFE

The federal luxury tax" collected for
the past year, seems to indicate nation
al expenditure of Sj.OO0O0O.00O for lux
uries There is an excellent text for
homilies on thrift, and the moraIists are
making the application accordingly. With
all due regard. however, to the need of
care in spending money, it may be said
that the moralizing should not be car
ried so far as some utilitarians are
carrying it. .-.-.--..-
Where to draw the line between nee
essaries and Injuries is always a difficult
question. 1t is a truism of American life
that the Injuries of one generation be
come the necessaries of the next. This is
what material progress means. Many of
the basic needs of working people today
were once expensive Injuries for kings.
Moreover. the fact that the government
classifes certain things as luxuries for
taxation purposes does not necessarily
make them such. Let it be granted. how
ever. that this estimate is correct. What
of it?
Five billion dollars is something over
$50 apiece, or $3.50 for each family. Let
it be said right off that perhaps half that
sum is surely iustifable. when judged by
any rational standard of living.
To try to save the whole sum would
mean that the entire population was get
ting down to a basis of bare necessaries.
Because one is thrifty, shall there be no
ice cream and cake. no tobacco, no drama
or music. no candy or flowers, no fine
books or pictures or furniture, nothing
better, or nothing calculated to confer
more pleasure and interest, than the bare
needs requires?
1t would be a duh life. indeed if all
strictly unnecessary expenditures. or
even all so-called foolish expenditures,
were barred The craving for change,
fun, comfort. amusement and art is hu-
man and wholesome. if not INDUCED in to
excess. 1t is good for the cramped soul
to have its fling once in a while, for the
sake of the freedom and power that
come with it.
Expense accounts and bank books are
important, but life itself is something
more than that, and in an occasional
breaking away from the restraint of OPP
pressive thrift, people really live. If
they have got so habituated to mechani-
cal thrift that they cannot spend an
occasional dollar literally, without
agonies of remorse, they have stopped
living.

In the DAVIS News

Frank L. Walsh, the Irish American
leader who may be refused permission to
land in England. has been national fig
ure since 1919. when he acted as
chairman of the federal commission on
industrial relations which President
Wilson appointed. Earlier in his pro-
feSsional and civic career in Kansas City.
where he began the practice of law in the
nineties, Mr.. Walsh has shown. himself
to be a grim, tenacious hardhitting COM
Blatant and a relentless and ruthless prob
er of venality and proiiteering. During
the past few years, since his retirement
from public Office. he has devoted himself
almost wholly to promoting the so-called
Irish cause in America. In the further
ance of this cause he has made several
visits to Europe and delivered numerous
public addresses. Officially, he has been
known as council for Eamonn de Valera
and the Irish republic in the United
States.

"a DYING CITY"

Every Russian dispatch for three years
has emphasized the appalling waste of
Soviet rule and the shrinkage in urban
population. Scores of prosperous cities
looted by Bolshevist mobs and terrOrized
by local committees" have seen their
industry and commerce ruined and che
more substantial element in their pop
ulation driven into exile or annihilated
by the Red Terror. Petrograd, before the
war a city of two million souls, has sui
fered most of all. At last reports its
inhabitants numbered less than 100000.
Now the Russian Soviet Council OF
Labor and Defence has taken steps to
revive the city. The Red leaders have
promised preferential privileges in fuel,
foodStuffs and transport, and they are
striving to coax back the many thou
sands of workmen who left to escape star
walton or butchery. They hope to save
the remnants of the business of the city
which, they admit, is only one-sixth that
of pre-war days.
Whatever may be the shortcomings of
their political, social and economic faith.
the Reds have much in their favor, for
Petrograd is one of the few cities in

Prices Then and Now

burlington Free IGeSS.)
Now that the prices of some of the
necessaries of life have begun to soar
again you may begin to realize that the
Free Press has been advocating a buy
ing movement while prices were low as
measure of thrift Since people have
short memories, it may be well to com
pare some of the prices which are still
low with corresponding values year
ago.
During the past week the people of
Burlington could buy 100 pounds of SUI
gar for $639. or a little better. In 1920
sugar sold at one time as high as S2f
per hundred pounds. The contrast be-
tween prices for various other commo-
dities in 1920 and in 1927 is also pro-
nounced
A still better idea of the effect of high
prices and lower on the breakfast table
can be gained from more general
statement. \ neghbor has prepared a
list of necessaries at different prices
containing the following: Sugar, l0C
pounds; potatoes, Ione bushel: coffee
ten pounds; lima beans, p pounds; ma
Wy beans, % pounds; peas, | dozen cans
corn, l dozen cans; tomatoes, ! dozer
cans: flour, | barrel: rice, 10 pounds
common syrup, ! gallon; eggs, / dozen
corn fakes, 5 packages; cornmeal, p
pounds.
This list of commodities cost a tota
of s64 90 in 1920 In 1927 the same list
of commodities in the same quantities
cost only $500. Are you still insisting
that the cost of food has not fallen?

the world which, made to order, have
justified the foresight of their founders.
Alexandria in Egypt, Constantinople
and Bagdad are other classic examples of
the fruits of genius. Peter the Great
knew that his growing empire required a
window on the Baltic. and he put his
finger on the map and said I'm have a
city. there" Two hundred thousand Of
his subjects died in the marshes of the
Neva before that city was. but its rapid
and steady growth for two centuries bore
witness to the genius of its founder.
Civilization is very largely a matter of
trade, and the routes of trade are al
ways determined by the lay of the land
and the water, the way the rivers flow
and the winds blow. Where trade routes
converge. there the growth of cities is
inevitable.
Even Bolshevism, the worst foe of
civilization. could not undo the work OF
nature When BolShevism is forgotten
along with history's nightmares, there
will still be a great city on the Neva
There has to be.

In a city where confiscated liquor had
outrun the governments storage capacity,
the United States marshal the other day
dumped several thousand gallons into

big crowd gathered. Men came with
buckets and cups and dipped the mixed
whiskey and filth out of the gutter as it
ran. Some of them knelt down and drank
from the gutter. Some drank from their
hats. \ boy whose hat had holes in it
dipped the hat into the whiskey as if it
had been a sponge, and squeezed it out
into his mouth. \ man was seen filling a
pop bottle with a teaspoon. \ driver
got down from a wagon, stuck his
bearded face into the gutter and then
rubbed the liquor into his hair, so as to
lose none of the odor. To such depth

wisdom of aboishing whiskey, there it is.
