The Pig With a Sense of Justice.

Inc rig WIN sense OF Justice.
One day when Giotto, the
famous painter, was taking his
Sunday walk in Florence, dress
ed in his best attire, some pigs
passed by and one of them, be-
coming frightened, ran between
the artists legs, throwing him
down in the mud. Giotto was
just in the midst of a long story,
which was thus quite rudely in
terrupted.
When he had picked himself
up, again, instead of becoming
very angry at the pig, as many
a man would have done under
similar circumstances he laugh
ed and said: People say these
beasts are stupid. but they seem
to me to have a sense of JUS
tice; for / have earned several
thousands of crowns with their
bristles, but / never gave one
OF them even a ladieful of coup
in my nfe."

ARE YOU EDUCATED?

1t seems to be about time that we had a restate-
ment of our definition of education. We are de-
handing things of the person call educated which
we may have no right to demand of him.
The tendency to look on the educated a super
intellectual seems to be hangover from the days
when Oliver Goldsmith modestly confessed to
yearning amidst the SWANS to show my book
learned skill" when he pictured the rustics ranged
around the village school master discoursing in
words of lea ned length and laundering sound: And
still they gazed, and still the wonder grew that one
small head could carry all he knew"
The sum total Of things 10 be known has increased
many hundred fold since those days, that even
Goldsmiths village master might be considered as
nothing remarkable. From this great store of knowl-
edge the schools pick out certain things which are
worth knowing and attempt to mpart this knowl-
edge to boys and girls. We remember only 4
small part of what is thus learned, and the chances
are that when meet someone who has remembered
the things which have remembered we call
him educated.
This, of course, is wrong Some of may know
things which we did not learn in school. 1t is
ceivable that may be most excellent teacher
in line without having heard Of Eli Whitney
and it also is conceivable that one may be able to
all of the Edison questions and still be fail
ure teacher.

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS.

Albuquerque business men have evidenced an
interest in the question of lower tolls shipping
through the Panama canal. These have realized
that the water is normally cheaper and that if
tolls are reduced there will be greater temptation
for railroads to reduce their freight rates to tide
water points and raise them shipments to the in
terror.
The canal handled 3S1, 900 tons of cargo from
the Atlantic to the Pacific in May. Sixty-four per
cent originated the eastern coast of the United
States. 23 per cent (all petroleum. from Mex
leo, Z per cent from the United Kingdom and 5 per
cent from continental Europe.
OF this westward traffic, SO per cent went to our
western states "a per cent to the Far East, 20
per cent to the west coast of South America and Is
per cent to Australia.
The traffic moving eastward was heavier totalling
proportion of shipments, having A per cent. The
west coast of South America followed, with 26 per
cent Australia third with 10 per cent. and
Hawaii fourth, with practically 10 per cent (all
sugar)
OF this eastward traffic SO per cent moved to the
eastern coast of the United States per cent to the
United Kingdom and &c per cent to continental
Europe.
The year which has closed was the best the
Panama canal has yet had. Even so. receipts from
tolls, $12,2SO,OOO, lacked S42OO,OOO of meeting the
governments expenditures for the canal
The canal is costing this government money.

to any further lowering of tolls particularly such
reduction would tend to stimulate the railroads to
lower rates to tidewater points and raise them TO

BEWARE OF FAKE EXPERT.

In connection with the proposed revision by con-
gress Of income and excess profits tax legislation the
internal revenue commissioner sounds a timely
warning against fake experts who offer their services
for consideration to persons making out their re-
ports,
There numerous genuine experts, men who
have made special study of the income tax and
prepared to solve the many problems it pre-
sens. According to plan for the protection of
taxpayers these experts register for practice before
the treasury. Their qualifications investigated
and they must satisfy the officials of their ability to
advise laymen regarding the law. The prevalence Of
fekers is shown by the fact that in the last month
some SO persons have been disbarred from treasury
practice because of Irregularities
Aside from Intentionally honest but ignorant ad-
vice often given taxpayers by incompetent agents.
the treasury has to deal with the situation caused
by those who offer suggestions evading the law
cooking up figures in reports to avoid
tain payments There have been many instances
where such advice has led taxpayers into serious
trouble.
II overpays the government the excess is re-
turned to him in time. There have been many such
instances. But beware OF the individual who has
wonderful plan for doing the government. The
suggestion indicates that he is the sort of per-
son to be given an extremely wide berth.
