THE HUMAN SIDE OF A NEWSPAPER

paper, reference being to a country town small
city newspaper, the big city newspapers of to-
day have no personality.
Yes, there truly is human side to news
paper but all too often this fact is lost sight of by
the general public. There is heart to a news
paper that is warmed by every favor and loyal
support, as we'll as chilled and hurt by every dis
courtesy, and the newspaper has human side
that responds as becomes humanity
Every good business in the small town
recognizes his home paper friend. Though
he may not always agree with the policy of the
paper may have good cause to differ, he realizes
that it has a personality that he wishes to cult
vate rather than antagonize This is the human
side of a newspaper. Being human the home pa

good opinion of the business interests and the
general public.
Nowhere does the admirable principle of reci-
procity fit in to better advantage than between

exists between the business men and the news

into partnership in the game of skinning the pub
lie. All import and local taxes on goods are
clearly paid by the buyer.
1t is just as true today that the consumer pays
the tax as it would be if all assessments were
laid directly upon consumption.
Therefore, why not accept that situation frankly
and SO place the tax burden as to secure the maxi
mum of economy in collection and the maximum
Of equality in distributing the weight? Shoots
plan fails to do that because it leaves untouched
the big load of taxes which are habitually shifted

Daily Poem
LITTLE MRS. CRICKET

Myrtella SoutherlandD
Little Mrs. Cricketts singing in the
grasses
For the bright warm sunshine and
the Ealmy breeze,
For blue skies above her where each
white cloud passes,
Always she is thankful for such
joys as these.
Little Mrs. Cricket called goodbye to
summer,
Summer she was fond of, summer
was so fair.
But Il kindred spirit is the bithe
newcomer,
Autumn with her gorgeous LEAKAGE
III her hair.
Little Mrs. Cricket oh, she never
bushes
For the dusk of evening sweet her
simple song,
Pleasant as when Maytim6s bobo-
links and thrushes
Caroled of their gladness through
the moments long!
Little Mrs. Cricket always is con-
tented
Filled with hope and vision, wee
philosophers
Trouble she's forever gaily circum-
vented,
Song of sorrow, comrade, we'll Just
follow her.

Probably the most equitable tax system possible
al this time would be enc which simply placed upon
all production, at a uniform rate, duty sufficient
to meet the needs of the government. Such a
system would mean radical change from the
present 1t would have to abandon the theory
that taxation is an instrument for enforcing moral
ity, as exemphed in the whiskey and tobacco
taxes or that it is a corrective of righteousness,
as in the tax on various articles supposed to be
used only by the rich, and proceed entirely upon
business principles. AT the present time. rate
of seven or eight per cent, if closely collected.
would probably meet the nations requirements
Even if it had to be ten per cent, however, with
the doing away CT three fourhs of the tax collect
ing machinery and the elimination of the present
pyramiding of profits en- overtaxed articles, it
would be actual relief of perhaps one-half of
the burden that rests upon the people.
Shoots plan is only step. and very hating
and imperfect STEP in the direction of sane taxa
ton. and the utmost that can be hoped for it is
that it will lead to discussion which will bring
out the obscured fundamentals of the taxation
question and lead to clearer popular views.
1t is to be understood that the plan here dis
cussed is very different from the so-caled SALES
tax by some other nations and widely discussed
some time ago, that being about as vicious sys-
tenn human ingenuity could devise.

AUTHORITY OF THE DECLARATION

Declaring that the exclusion of the Bible from
the public schools as provided in the constitution
of the state of Washington, Is a violation Of the
principles of the declaration of independence, the
Presbyterian church in New York is preparing to
start a movement to have the matter adjudicaed
and the obnoxious state constitutional provision
nullihed.
Now, without discussing the merits Of The church
controversy, it The purpose Of tbs article TO call
attention 10 an error that is almost nation wide and
which is evidently shared by the religious body in
question. Fiat IS, ihat The declaration Of indie
pcndence is part of the organic law of the land
1t IS net. Legally, al tbs limc, il has no more
authority than the constitution of Ioiaos Atlantis
And that fact opens a curious phase in the history
of this country which, for reasons to be guessed
rather than positively stated never has had ade-
quate historical treatment
It was undoubtedly the intention cf the trainers
Of the declaration TO make it the basis Of the new
naions political system. 1t embodied the finest
ideas Of the new school Of political philosophers
school Of political philosophers whose shibboIeth
was human liberty 1t constituted an ideal foun-
dalton for a government as nearly perfect as hui
man fraily would admit. 1t served great pur-
pose in firing the patriotism CT the soldiers of the
revolution. They fought for the highest ideals
ever held up before mankind.
But when the war was over and the ndepend-
ence Of the country achieved, an entirely ndepend-
ent school Of thinkers came the front The con
stitudon lacked a good deal Of being a perfect
democratic doctrine And in the hands of fed
eralistic supreme court most of the democracy
that forced into it by the Jedersonian wing of
the convention was squeezed out. The American
organic law as it exists today is something widely
different from the system contemplated by the
Declaration of Independence.
The old declaration is historical document
valuable chiefly recording the highest aspirations
Of liberty. But it is not law. mores the pity and
its adoption al this time as such would automatically
repeal nearly half the statutory laws of the United
States and throw hundreds of thousands Of pros
porous Office holders out of their Jobs

SHOOTS TAX SCHEME.

Senator Smoots products tax scheme will not

justify its rejection. Nevertheless. in principle, it
is nearer sound than any of the measures for rails

rich and places it On the poor is not well taken.
The tax burden is already on the poor There
is not tax of any real importance in The whole

profits are first paid by the buyer after which the

with an optimistic smirl l say that she's the
stuff. Oh, where, ask, would be our wheat and
radshes and beans, if summer didn't send the
heat that ripens all such green's? Oh, where
would be the luscious fruit, the pumpkins and the
maize, if Summers sun refused to shoot its Justly
famous rays? But as deftly spring conun-
drums such as these, wish that Summer would
take wing, and send early freeze 1t is no
treason now it's DER, or fading to its rest to
say that Summer is bore, and now and then

Autumn makes her bow, and hands us hints of

sizzling Summer comes again, if am still on
earth, will point out to melting men her virtue
and her worth; and as l boost her varied charms,
I'll sigh, in accents drear, I'D gladly give two up

Democrats in the senate acted wisely in decid-
ing not to make the peace treaties a party issue
They not afford to seem to stand in the way
of the restoration of normal conditions, nor can
they hope as the Republicans did when the Yer
sales treaty was offered, to make campaign is
sue out of it Therefore their proper course is to
vote they please individually, let it come to a
veto at once, and give the majority party no ex-
for its failure to satisfy the public with its
taxation and tariff policy.
