There is better illustration OF this than the mir

California, when mans life home, business or
pocketbook was safe from the cutthroats who over
rode police and courts. But sooner had the citi-

1t would seem unnecessary to reason on this very
obvious proposition. Fear Of penalty is the prime in

men and women behave within the bounds Of recog-

of penalties makes clubmen behave with due regard to
the feelings Of their fellow club members within their

criminal will tell you that he lives more in fear Of
being tricked betrayed and compromised by his COM
panions than by any activities Of the police the
courts.
No crook ever trusts any other crook. Even In the
middle of criminal undertaking crooks stop and take
precautions and watch their partners in the enter
prise. Always criminals are betrayng each other,
acting stool-pigeons to the police and exhibiting
the most perfect evidence that fidelity. dependabiy,
selfrespect and any whatever Of honor have
part in the criminal makeup.

Uncommon Sense The Real Luxury Ta*
BY JOHN BLAKE

afford-for luxuries that you learn to
want merely because other people have
them ia tax not only on your earninss,
but on your future.
II you have more money than you
can spend. no one 10 going to object to
your wearing 500 Overcoats or even
buying q yacht.
But IL you are getting these things
at the expense Of your own future yo,t
are putting a luxury tax ON yourself
which Is far harder to bear than any
ever imposed by the Government.
THE dcsite to have all the comforts
L that other people have is natural,
but It IL very hard to tell just what are
comforts and what are luxuries. And
II you fall into the way Of being too
comfortable you will soon be about "a
progressive as the cat which curls in
purring comfort before the fireplace.
And you will not be as wise as the
cat, for she has the knack of making
human beings provide for her and Siv-
ing no return. That ts a knack you
Will never possess.
You nre FREQ from the Government

yourself from tho really burdensome
luxury tax by your own efforts.
