MoUNTAINEERS HAVE
LAUGH ON GOTHAM

New York city papers from their
proud eninence IN the nations metropo-
lis. are accustomed to mention the
states In which there Is high per-
oantaxe Of illiteracy and considerable
lack OF school facilities With plying
disdaIn. They are also highly pleased
With The fact that great philanthropic
Institutions with their headquarters In
New YoFk, ore engaged In the work OF
Srtnanr saHEh,enment to these regions
Of intellectual darkness.
Nov the hackwoods has It's chance TO
rive New York city the we'll known
anors> laugh" When the schools Of
the metropolis opened few days ago
It was found that there were $500
children for whom there were no seats
and no room for seats In tho school
euildings.
II, in any OF tho southern states
which have not made rapid progress
from IN educational standpoint. there
should happen 70 b ss,Sso children out
Of school. or even half that number. New
York would rise UP on It's metropolitan
hind fee. and send forth clarion cry
that would reach from the we'll known
Atlantic TO the well known Pacific.
Tho New York papers are placing the
blame for this scandslous and deplor-
able condition on the present or past
administrations. according to politics.
But Il would appear that tho cause OF
such an, enormous shortage of school
facilities must have It's roots some dis
lance eaek-that New York. in fact.
has been more soundiy asleep TO tho
importance Of adequate school facilities
for her children than the mounta.ncers
whom the Big City takes such delight
In plying and uplifting.

HERE'S LAST
WORD ON TAXES
ExPANggs, TAXES ETC.

The taxpayers of East Chicago city
are appalled, at the high taxes which
they paying this year. The city
viii collect from the taxpayers Of our
city about $500. 10000 during the year
1921. This Is about four times the
amount of taxes which our city collec-
ted during the year 1871 the last year
Of the Callahan administration. These
high taxes have been caused by hi gh
and unnecessary expenditures. The eN-
penditures of our city for the year 1921
will be about $3.50. 10000. This is
fair estimate based on figures up to
November 1st 1921. The expenditures
Of the city for 1917 the last year OF
the Callahan admins tration, were about
$500. 10000. And the year 1917. was
war year. the first year of the great
war and prices were soaring. Police
men and firemen and other employees of
the city were quitting their jobs and
going to work In the mills. In order 70
hold these men, or at least a part Of
them. or secure others to fill their
places in 1917, 1t was necessary to raise
salaries and wages And yet in the.
year 1921 a year of peace and falling
prices. the city Of East Chicago is ex-
pending three times the amount Of
money that was spent during 1917.
In addition to these expenditures and
high taxes. the city has trebled its
bonded Indebtedness When Frank Cal
lahan went out of Office as mayor the
first Of January. 1918. the outstanding
bonded Indebtedness Of the city was
sl5o.455.oO on January lst. 1921 the
outstanding bonded Indebtedness Of
the city was s497.O65.O0.
The one who is responsible for this
large expenditure of money, high taxes
and Increase of bonded Indebtedness
more than any other: the one who was
financial manager of our city by virtue
of his office from January, 19lS 10
March. 1921; the one who approved
every claim paid by the city during
this time, who prepared all budgets and
tax levies and recommended all an
preparations; the one who. as City Con
troller. under the laws Of our state had
the right 70 prevent this expenditure
Of money, 10 disapprove any or an
claims and to refuse to recommend the
appropriation Of money, was John T.

publican ticket. He cannot deny IT,

The Decline Of Manners.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Man
ners have been declining, in the oplnl-
on of many custodians and curators
Of morals, ever since there were any
manners to decline.
In the Public Ledger of April 20,
1886, will be found two-column edl-
torial on "The Present State Of Socie-
ty." The writer observes: "Our
newspapers contain accounts of num-
erous frauds, robberies, arsons, muir
ders and other crimes, and these
things give occasion to many for say
ing that crimes are more numerous
now than ever and that civilization is
waning into barbarism.'
One can hear sermons like that any
Sunday in any city.
After-dinner speakers are accustom-
ed to joke for little while, then pull
a grave face and tell us. that we are
rushing headlong to ruin.
The welkin rings with the clamor
of those who are reforming one an
other Boys at school are reforming
their grandmothers and reading the
riot act to debutantes.
If we must have somebody to re-
form, why not begin, as Chesterton
suggests, with ourselves?
It doesn't help to cry forever, "The
world is very evil, the times are wax
ing late," and bewail the transgres-
sions of all the rest.
Everything that is said today about
costumes and customs has been reit-
Grated since Eden. Every age has
lauded some golden age before it,
n N11l 10 a
good.
The world is dreadfully young and
desperately unfinished, and there is
heap to do to bring in the millennium,
but merely "slamming" one another
isn't going to help. And the world,
with all it's load of sin and shame, was
never so good place as it is this
spring morning.

on experience and common sense"
On reading this, we assume, the in
tellectual zone Of which Atchison is
the center went back to its steady old
beliefs. ;,
It's a good thing for Aristotle and
Newton that Ed. Howe was not pre-
sent in their day. ''The earth is
round" said Aristotle. Waste no
time over this silly Creek" Ed. Howe
would have said; "if the earth was
round we should have known about it
long ago." And as for an apple being
attracted to the earth by gravitation.
Ed. Howe would have been sure that
apples fell because they were heavy.
The Atchison philosopher accepts
Aristotle and Newton because he was
not born early enough to contradict
them. But now, when DIR. Einsteln
suggests that perhaps the earth falls
against the apple, Ed. Howe is ready
to defend Newton.
Nobody will ever convince Ed. Howe
that the train with the revolving
wheels is really standing still while
only the earth moves. He knows.
