that the many people kick paying taxes is because there general belief that the taxpayer only gets about 50 cents worth of value from each dollar he pays out. We believe the Chicago right when he makes this statement because for years we've heard tax payers complain that their money wasn't being spent economically they would spend if was left to them They vast squandered all sdes and they re- azs that private in the country pays much for what buys Uncle Sam has to pay for the same thing or the service In other words there IS general belief that Uncle Sam gets less for the dollar he spends than private citizen gets for hs The Chicago attorney may be right But when he says toxpayers only get 50 cents worth of value for each of their dollars believe Holbrook taxpayers will agree that he's putting the figure little high.

COSMOS
Vaudeville and Pictures.

A bill of high and refined entertain
ing value at the Cosmos Theatcr this
week presents In three Of its acts un-
usual novelty and no little charm.
The Marsh Company's offering. "Once
Upon a Time" is a dream romance as
merry as 1t is fascinating and features
C. Leland Marsh and Billy Zeck with
a quartet OF attractive girls, each Of
whom has a charm Of her own. Like
the Four Amaranths, the other big
number of the bill, IL comes from the
realm of the high priced theaters and
is presented at the Cosmos precisely
as elsewhere.
TIL Four Amaranths, a foreign on
ering of pantomime, remarkable and
unusual feats of equilfbrism and
something of the Pierrot and Column
bine act. 1t is handsomely staged and
costumed and presents some very de-
lightful dances by the two young
women of the quartet.
Martinetti is another exceptional
feature, magic, sleight-of hand and
pretidigitation, smooth. surprising and
laughable in it's simplicity.
Al and Angie knight present a
pretty sketch called Five Years
After" which is marked by good
songs and entertaining comedy, with
a striking finish; Martin and Goodwin,
singer with an excellent voice and
a pianist of ability with an Italian
dialect, blend comedy and music in
their number and Joe ROLAND and
Elsie Ray close with a merry Offering
Of songs. jokes and repartee that is
entertaining and amusing.
The added feature for the matinees

romance of the roof-tops, "The From

Mr.. Meighan's many good pictures.

B. +. KEITH'S-
Vaudeville.

Decidedly unique is the Offering of
Tameo katiyama, the "American-made Q
Japanese with Napoleonic mentality"
at B. +. keith's this week. Not only
can he do two things at once, but he
doubles that, writing backward,
carrying on conversation with his
audience, reading, and at the same
time performing an intricate mathe,-
matical problem. 1t is doubtful IL
any vaudeville act OF this type has
ever before been seen here. and
Kajiyama was accorded q warm well
come.
Such feat as writing different let
ters and words with both hands at
once is simple for Kajiyama, and he
tops 1t off by writing all on one line
ave different names, some upside
down and others backward. Erasing
four OF the names disclosed the re-
mainder-Dempsey.
The four Marx brothers. assisted by
Hattie Darling, share with the clever
Japanese the headline position this
week. This is a musical girly act.
full Of pep and punch. It was well
received last night.
William Demarest and Estelle Col
lette, in josh musical act, made a
hit. Sallie Fisher, once of musical
comedy, has a sketch that Claire
Hummer must have written with his
left hand while studying a railroad
time table.
Marie and Mary Mcfarland. with
Thomas Griselle at the piano, enter
tained with operate selections. Marie
Walsh and Irving Edwards have a
pleasing song and dance act Miss
Walsh's Egyptian dance was spoiled
last night by it's fast tempo. but that
can be easily remedied.
The Keynes, hand jumping equi-
librists; "The unusual Duo" skaters,
and the usual Keith features round
out the bill.

House Democrats Who Vote for
Farmers Tarif Threatened
With Punishment.

Disciplinary measures may be
adopted by House Democratic leaders
toward Democratic members who fail
to agree with a majority of their
number in a stand on tariff and rev.
enue legislation.
II is possible that loss OF desired
important committee assignments may
be the punishment meted out to recalci-
trants. This Is to be determined fol-
lowing a caucus to be held tonight by
the Democrats to consider action to
be taken by the party on the emerg-
ency farmers tariff bill, which is to
be called up in the House tomorrow.
At the last session of Congress
there were forty Democrats who
broke from all party moorings and
supported the Fordney emergency
tariff bill. with its high protective
duties on agricultural products. Most
Of these members are in the present
House. The bill coming up tomorrow
Is similar to the Fordney bill, and
consistency would require these
Democrats to vote for IT again.
Representative Kitchen, Democratic
leader, has prepared a strong indict-
ment OF the proposed legislation. He
desires united opposition to IL from
the Democrats, and urges that IL the
necessity ever existed for it's passage,
that necessity has passed.
