Hotelkeepers Blame Taxes
For High Scale of Prices

The hotelkeepers agreed practically
to everything and promised everv-
thing, but they called the attention Of
the public and Of the press to the fact
that they are not masters of their rates
and that they have got to pay. since the
war, the most formidable taxes to the
Treasury.
"Before the war" declared Mr.. Bar
rier, president Of the syndicate Of all
the French hotelkeepers, zone Of the
well known hotels Of Paris paid 15o.-
600 francs Of taxes per annum As
there were about 100000 days of Gus
toners, this amounted to one franc
and half per customer and per day.
Today the same hotel pays 1000 900
francs Of taxes to the state: this rep-

the coming season? That
ls the great question, and
1t is question widely discussed by the
public and the press
. The press and the public have
launched great offensive against the
high prices of the hotels. They have
launched that offensive because thew
want to ses the greatest number Of
Americans come over TO France; and
they want the Americans to come for
moral rather than for n material pur-
pose. France, more than ever. believes
IN the fairness md impartialitv Of
Judgment of the Americans. She thinks
that if the Americans can sec her
working hard, trying to dress her
wounds and 10 repair her ruins. her
self, they will be the first to silence the
nasty and odious accusations Of foreicn
propaganda. In fact, France would
even pay, If she could. in order that
as many foreign visitors az possible
might visit her now and Judge her on
the spot. Therefore, a great pressure
has been brought to bear upon all the
tourist organizations. on all the raiI-
road companies, all the hotel syndicates
to show the utmost courtesy and mod
Grafton to foreign guests-especial]v
TO American guests.
AS The Tribune has already an
nounced, Marcel Knecht. who was =
member Of the French commission in
the United States during the war and
VINO Is now on the managing staff Of
the "Matin," has laid down, before
all the Paris hotelkeepers, assembled in
meeting, the principal claims of the
American visitors. He summed up the
whole case in one sentence: "please
remember that American travellers are
our best friends and your best Gus

and customers"

Majority and Plurality.

A candidate in an election receives a plurality of votes when he obtains more than any other candidate, and he receives a majority of votes when his total is more than all others. The plurality is thus the excess of votes received by any one candidate over those received by the candidate hay ing the next highest number of votes while the majority is the excess Oi votes received by the candidate hav ing the highest number over those received by all the others together Thus when a candidate for office, out of. say 10000 votes, receive 4.0OO and two other candidates receive respec lively $500 and 2,50O, the first is elected by a plurality, though he has received less than a majority of the whole vote and he is said to have plurality of 800 votes, the difference between 4,000 and $500

 They helped the COW puncher to his feet. He took limping step or two. Every move was torture to his out ragged flesh.
 "Can you get me a taxi? That Is, if you're sure you don't want me in yore calaboose," the range-rider said, leaning against the wall.
 Well let yuh go this time."
 Much obliged-to Mir. Jerry Du- rand. Tell him for me that maybe I'll meet up with him again some time and hand him my thanks personal for this first-class wallopin'." From the bruised, bleeding face there beamed again the smile indomitable, the grin still gay and winning. Physically he had been badly beaten, but in spirit he was still the man on horseback.
 Presently he eased himself into a taxi as comfortably as he could. Home. James," he said jauntiIy.
 "WhereF" asked the driver.
 "The nearest hospital" explained Clay. I'm goin' to let the doctors worry over me for while. Much obliged to both of you gentlemen. l always did like the Irish. Friend Jerry Is an exception"

CHAPTER V

Arizona Follows It's lawIess Impulse. |. The Sea Siren was already begin ming to fill up when Clay descended three steps to a cellar and was warily admitted. A near-Hawaiian orchestra was strumming out a dance tune and a few couples were on the floor. Wait resses, got up as Loreleis. were mov- ing about among the guests delivering orders for refreshments.
 The westerner sat down In corner and looked about him. The walls were decorated with crude purple crayons of underfed sirens. A statue of nude woman distressed Clay. He did not mind the missing clothes, bue she was so dreadfully emaciated that he thought 1t wise for her to cling to the yellow-and-red draped barber pole that rose from the pedestal. On the base was the legend, "The Weeping Lady," After he had tasted the Sea Siren fare the man from Arizona sus- pected that both her grief and her anaemia arose from the fact that she had been fed on 1t.
 A man in artists velveteens, minus a haircut, with large, fat. pasty face. sat at an adjoining table aT' dis coursed to his friends. Presently. dur ing an intermission of the music, he rose and took the rest of those present into his confidence.
 Bourgeois to the core" he an- nounced, speaking of the United States. What are the idols we wor- ship? Law, the chain which binds all cnslaved people, thrift, born of childish fear; love of country, which is another name for crass provincialism. I-I am a Cosmopolite, not an Arneric. n. Be- hemia is my land, and all free souls are my brothers. Why should get wrinkles because Germany sunk the Lusitania a month or two ago? That's her business, not mine."
 Clay leaned forward on search for information. Excuse mG for buttin

bored in like wild bull. Clay caught him off his balance, using a short arm jolt which had back of 1t all that twenty-three years of clean outdoors Arizona could give. The gangster hit the pavement hard.
 He got up furious and charged again. The Arizonan, busy with the other man, tried to sidestep. An uppercut jared him to the heel. In that instant of time before his knees began to sag beneath him his brain flashed the news that Durand had struck him on the chin with brass knuckles. He crumpled up and went down, still alive to what was going on, but unable to move in his own defense. Weakly he tried to protect his face and sides from the kicks of q heavy boot. Then he floated balloon-like in space and vanished into uncOnsciOusness.
 
 Clay drifted back to a world in which the machinery of his body creaked. He turned his head, and a racking pain shot down his neck. He
The Holbrook news., 1922-07-07

moved a leg, and every muscle in 1t ached. From head to foot he was sore.
 Voices somewhere in space, detached from any personal ownership, fioated vaguely to him. Presently these re- solved themselves into words and sen tenceS.
 Were not to make a pinch, Tim. That's the word he gave me before he left. This Is wan av Jerry's private little wars and he don't want judge askin' a lot of unnicessary questions, y understand"

At that they may have given the bye more than he can carry. Maybe it'll be roses and nice black carriage for him yet"
 Clay opened his eyes, flexed his arm muscles, and groaned. He caressed tenderly his aching ribs.
 Some wreck" he gasped weakly. "They didn't do a thing to me-out- side of beatin' me up-and stompin' on me-and runnin' steam roller-over the dear departed"
 "Whose fault will that be? Don't yuh know better than to start fight with a rigiment?" demanded the ser geant of police severely.
 That wasn't fight. It was a waltz" The faint, uncOnquered smile of brown Arizona broke through the blood and bruises of the face "The fight began when Jerry Durand and his friend rushed me-and 1t ended when Jerry landed on me with brass knucks.

Silly English Superstition hat Her Milk Would Make the Hair
 of Baby Red.

A director of a London dairy com many told a correspondent recently at a dairy show a circumstance illustrat- ing belief that existed not long ago in connection with a cows milk.
 Ii was in the days when many Lon don dairies kept a few cows at the back of the establishment, partly to give the impression that the daily milk supply was all derived from these cows. or to enable the proprietor to meet the wants of his customers in special cases for infant feeding. The shop had been closed for the day, when a woman called to ask for new milk for a baby. This was supplied.
 Shortly after the woman called again and asked: "Can you tell me the color of the COW you took that milk from?'
 The owner of the establishment said he was not quite sure, but would go and see. He went and returned say ing: Tt was a black COW, but why do YOU want to know?'
 "Well. sir" she replied, If it had

possible that you rescued her out of job?"
 The young man nodded his head rue fully. That's exactly what 1 did. After all her trouble gettin' one I've thrown her out again. I'm sure enough fathead."
 You've been down to find Out?' she asked with a sidelong tilt of her quick eyes.
 'Yes. I went down this mawnin' with Tim Muldoon. He's a policeman 1 met down there. Miss Kitty hasn't been seen since that night. We went out to the Pirates Den, the Purple Pup, Grace Godwin's Garret, and all the places where she used to sell cigar ettes None of them have seen any thing of her."
 "SO that really your championship hasn't beer so great help to her after all, has it?"
 "NO."
 And I suppose it ruined the busi- ness of the man that owns the Sea Siren"
 T don't reckon so. I've settled for the furniture. And Muldoon says when 1t gets goin' again the Sea Siren will do a big business on account Of the fracas. It's Kitty Pm worried about"
 q wouldn't worry about her if were you. She'll land on her feet" the girl said lightly.
 Her voice had not lost its sweet cadences, but Clay se1sed in it some thing that was almost touch of cool contempt. He felt vaguely that he must have blundered in describing Kitty. Evidently Miss Whitford did not see her quite as she was.
 The young woman pressed the start CT button I've must be going home: I have an engagement to go riding with MT. Bromield."
 The man beside the girl kept his smile working and concealed the little stab of jealousy that dirked him. Colin Whitford had confided to Lind say that his daughter was practically engaged to Clarendon BrOmfield and that he did not like the man. The range-rider did not like him either, but he tried Loyalty to kill his distrust Of the clubman. If Beatrice loved him there must be good in the fellow. Clay meant to be a good loser anyhow.
 There had been moments when the range-rider's heart had quickened with a wild, insurgent hope. One of these had been on morning when they were riding in the park, knee to knee, in the dawn of a new clean world. It had come to him with a sudden clamor of the blood that in the eternal rightness of things such mornings ought to be theirs tili the youth in them was Quenched In sober age. He had looked into the eyes of this slim young Diana. and he had throbbed to the certainty that she too in that moment of tangled glances knew a sweet confu- sion of the blood. In her cheeks there had been quick flame of flying color. Their talk had fallen from them, and they had ridden in a shy, exquisite si- lence from which she had escaped by putting her horse to a canter.
 But in the sober sense of sanity Clay knew that this wonderful thing was not going to happen to him. He was not going to be given her happiness to ] hold in the hollow of his hand. Bee | WhitfOrd was a modern young woman, practical-minded. with a proper sense
