TAXATION

When certain well-meaning people
discuss means for augmenting the
federal revenue they suggest adding
another tax on the automobile.
They go on the theory that if man
has money enough to own a car he
can afford to pay an additional tax
for the pleasure of its use, apparent
ly giving no thought to the fact that
the car owner is already paying hea-
Willy for that privilege.
When the tax assessor comes a
round he lists mans automobile as
a part Of his property upon which
taxes are paid.
He pays an annual license fee to
the state and to the city in which he
lives. 1t is true, however, that IN
some of the smaller towns no license
is required.
He pays an excessive price for the
gas and oil which he uses, and in
some states one cent gallon of the
cost of gas goes into the tax fund.
This simply adds, a cent to the price
of gas.
There are many excellent automo-
bile repair men, but the country is
overrun with a lot of sharks who
know about as much about the mech
anism of a car as a doctor does about
shoeing a horse. The car owner
doesn't find these birds out until they
put his car on the ''blink" and he has
to have the work done over again
The law affords no protection against
these sharks, unless he takes the mat
ter into court in the way of a civil
suit.
If a pedestrian or a child suddenly
steps in front of moving car with
out warning and is injured, it is al
ways the driver who is at fault and
who pays the bill. Public sentiment
never comedies that it is possible fo1
| him to be in the right.
The automobile is in greater use
today than the horse and buggy, anC
motor vehicles are rapidly displacing
the wagon in commercial use.
We hear no crying demand for pla
cling a special tax on wagons and bug.
gies, nor on horses or mules.
And yet periodically some excellent
citizen arises and demands that the
motorist be soaked again.
The car owner has been we'll pluck
ed, as it is.
He should not be pared to the bone

DRESS UNDER BAN

Overseer Voliva, of Zion City, Il
linois, the religious community found
ed by Alexander Dowie, is having
considerable trouble with the women
of the town in the matter of dress.
He decided some time ago that they
were immodest in their attire and
commanded that no woman should
henceforth wear a waist of transpa-
rent material showing the skin above
the middle of the forearm or one ex-
posing the neck below it's junction
with the collar bone. The venalty
named was incarceration in the jail
without the privilege of bail. Fur
Their, it was asserted that in case a
fine were assessed, there would be no
escape save to work it out on the
streets.
The drastic ordinance does not APP
pear to have fully accomplished its
purpose. Two women at least have so
far been arrested and committed to
Jail.

HOW VENETIANS OUTWITTED
WOMEN

In these days we hold that nothing
much can be accomplished by force
IN the regulation of other peoples
conduct.
A better way than Mr.. Voliva's
would probably be that adopted by
the men of Venice, Italy, several CEN
turtles ago, when they became jealous
because their women were running a.
round too much. They struck upon
the plan of putting high heels upon
the women's shoes, thinking that the
impeachment would limit their move
ments. To make the women like the
innovation, they adorned the high
heels with precious stones and other
ornaments. The plan worked beau
tifully. High heels became the vogue
the women often vying with one an
other IN trying to increase the height.
This was the beginning of high heels;
and even yet many women seem to
ike them. y gataa

Because the home merchant sells

GAS and SUBS.

The disarmament conference to be
held in Washington in November may
result in the limitation of ornaments
and the reduction of standing armies.
IF it accomplishes no more than these
two things it will justify its exist
ence.
But for the sake Of humanity it
should do more It should put an end
to submarine and gas warfare.
The whole world knows the horrors
of submarine warfare-how even the
helpless women and children have
fallen victims to the hornets of the

a hundred years by their use.
The man who shoots another in the
! back without warning is called a
coward The submarine is no better.

Icf the degeneration of mankind.

did not burn women and children.
The use of gas in warfare comes
dangerously near to being on a par

Since the close of the world war,

en and children falling victims to its
deadly fumes. Such attacks will come
from the air. The temptation to an
nihilate will be too great for an enc

Classes and submarines should be
outlawed among the nations of the

WHY NOT TROT
OUT DAWES Again

The United States Shipping Board
has come about as near to giving
something for nothing as it is human
ly possible to do and yet escape-and
that, too, on a mammoth scale.
The board recently contracted to
sell two hundred and five wooden
ships for $4,000. These ships were
built during the war at a cost to the
government Of about $1,000 100000.
The shipping board might as we'll
have given them away. The junk in
them is worth more than the price re-
ceived for them, although the ships
are said to be in good condition.
Somebody made a mint of money
when these ships were built at gov
ernmental expense, and somebody
else will probably make another mint
through their "sale"
The benevolent taxpayer foots the
bill
Four hundred and thirty thousand
dollars for ships that cost a thousand
millions of dollars, more than two
thousand times the price received for
them!
How long would a private business
enterprise survive if managed in such
loose manner?
President Harding turned General
Dawes loose on the governmental de-
partments in Washington. No doubt
the dignified department heads and
bureau chiefs wriggled and cussed
and fumed, but Dawes is an artistic
cusser himself and he knows how to
WELD a pruning knife. The result
was saving to the taxpayers of mil

Little green melons that may be

are delicious stuffed and picked. Cut

one teaspoonful salt, one tablespoon
full minced horseradish, one table

WILL WOMEN END WAR

The position of women in the busi-

world, since the suffrage amendment,
gives them a new and grave response
bility in regard to war
During the world war, Lord As
quith said, without the aid of women
England could not carry ON the war"
If this statement was true, the con
clusion is that it lies within the power
of the women of the world to prevent
any possible future war If such
condition were to arise again, which
responsibility would they assume
that of helping along a war, or would
they take a stand that would prevent
war?
VIII it really be the women of the
world who will put stop to war?
The international Women's Suffrage
Association, with Carrie Chapman
Gait as president, and the Women's
International League for Peace, with
Jane Adams at its head, and other
fourishing women's peace societies in
different parts of the country, all
count in the direction of peace and
there is not an organization or league

Law Saves Caruso Family


1t is interesting to American wom
en- to note how Italy has handled the
estate of the great tenor, Caruso, who
died recently, leaving only will
made before his marriage and there
fore containing no provision for his
wife and child.
In America, the terms of the will
would doubtless have been carried out
regardless of the injustice inflicted
upon his immediate family. In fact,
the ancient date would have made no
difference; for even if the will had
been made within the last month of
his life and by it he had deliberately
disinherited his wife and child, it
would in all probability still have
been held valid.
In Italy, no man is given the power
to dispossess his dependents in any
such manner. Rather, the law holds
that their claim cannot be disregard
ed or extinguished. So the Italian
court made short shrift of the will in
this case and gave one-half of Caru-
SOS estate, which amounted to APP
proximately five million dollars, to his
little daughter, Gloria, while the re-
manning half was divided among his
wife, brother and a favorite nephew
