ABOLISH THE TIP

A certain class of Americans are
nutty on the subject of tipping. They
are not only nutty, but they are nui-
sance to the rest of mankind.
The tip is an established institution
in many Of the old countries, but they
use their brains there as we'll as their
money. Where an American would
tip quarter or half dollar, the for
eigner in his own country would hand
over one Or two cents. And they get
just as much for their copper as the
splurger does for his silver.
There ought to be federal law for
bidding tipping of every nature and
fixing Jail sentence for both the Civ
er and the receiver.
When man goes into a hotel and
registers he expects to pay the pro-
prietor the established price of his
board and lodging. He should not be
required to pay also the waiter, and
the chambermaid, and the elevator
man, and the bellhop in order to secure
the attention and service to which
every guest is entitled.
Tipping is degrading, to both the
giver and the receiver
1t should be abolished by law, since
so many do not possess either the
brains or the nerve to abolish it by

among which is unemployment. The
enormous sale of tax-exempt securi-
ties IN the past few years is proof
positive that the system is wrong.
Surely the most rabid and biased
unionist would admit that there is no
shortage of labor, but a shortage of
capital. And when you penalize cap
ital in order to support paternalistic
governmental schemes, you chase cap
ltal right off the lot Instead of be-
ing ready in abundance for the i'm
perative needs of business, it hides
itself away.
Mr.. Underhill expresses the situa-
ton thus:
The question is whether the people
OF this country want to retain initia-
tive, ambition, thrift, and industry.
which have made the country and its
people great, or whether they wish
to have the Government take charge
of and supervise their very being from
their birth into the world, through
babyhood, childhood, youth, middle
age, and so on, until it places them six
feet under the ground, ordering them
to go and come at the pleasure of some
bureau, picking out their hfe's work
and endeavor, and taking the fruits
thereof, sitting and destroying COM
pletely every incentive to ambition or
thrift, and giving to the lazy, the
spendthrift, the Stacker, the same treat
ment that they accord to the ambiti--
Gus, industrious, and thrifty.
These are thoughts which the A
merican people should have continual
ly placed before them, and if ever
there was an occasion for advertis-
ing on big scale, this is it.
We need a gigantic cooperative ad
vertising campaign in America in the
cause of sanity and straight thinking.
Business enterprises could we'll afford
to divert part of their advertising
expenditures for this purpose. Every
long haired nut outside the insane
asylums is preaching wild fallacies
to the people, and nobody is doing any
thing about it.
We sold ourselves Liberty Bonds.
Why can't we sell ourselves America?

LETTING
george Do IT

Every dog mas its day, according to
the old saying, and this is the day Oh
the alf-cracked theorist, the unwash-
ed agitator, and the loud-braying
demagogue.
"Give US enough laws" they bray,
"and We will put work out of exist
ence Put the control of everybody
and everything into the hands of the
poor, downtrodden common people,
and 10, the millennium will appear!
No more sickness, no more bills, no
more unhappiness, no more poverty,
no more trouble! Every day will be
Sunday, all inequalities will vanish,
the human race will bask in eternal
sunshine, and human life will be end
less!"
Consider the remarks of Congress
man Charles L. Underhill, of Massa-
chusetts, commenting on the matern-
ity aid bill recently passed. He points
out that already the head of each fam
| lily in the land is working two days a
week to support the Government, and
that if governmental functionsI i'm
| crease in the next decade to the extent
| they have increased in the past few
years it will be necessary for man
| to work three or four days out Of
every week for the Government.
The socialistic labor leader is wholly
to blame for the erroneous idea that
legislation makes it possible to get
something for nothing. His argument
is that if you pass law, or produce
the condition in some other way, where
by it is necessary to employ four men
to do two mems work, the extra wages
paid the two unnecessary men help
to make prosperity, be cause there is
just that much more money put IN
circulation. He may not use this ex~
act language, but that is the interpre-
tation which his followers place upon
his teachings.
| We've got to have less government
instead of more, if we are to get back
to basis of living where the mass OF
the people really have chance. AND
instead of the socialists idea of taxing
only capital being correct, it is dia
metrically opposite. Our present in
come tax law is strongly tainted will

court APPEAL
High Tribunal Refuses to Reopen the
Hearing in Sheriff Custer Case

Madison-Efforts of Gov. Blaine to
obtain a rehearing of the case of Hans
Rodd, Oneida county sheriff, whose
removal from Office was held void in
April by the state supreme court,
proved unsuccessful Tuesday when the
tribunal denied the motion for a re.
argument, made by NJ. B. Olbrich, ex-
ecutive counsel.
Denial of the motion to reopen liti.
cation which grew out of Sheriff
Rodd's removal for refusing to obey
an executive pardon order freeing Pc
ter Christ, Rhinelander strike leader

are large numbers of people who
would welcome a return to the farm
if such could be effected. Generally
they are men of families who have
been brought up on the farm, but left
in their younger days to make their
fortunes in the city," and are now
marooned there, as effectually as if
stranded on a desert island.
1t costs money to change from
crowded city to virgin land and con-
vert the soil into a productive farm.
And money they have not-at least
not sufficient for the transformation
If the government could devise some
means of placing such families on un-
used land and aid them to the point
where they could become self-sustain-
ing and pay off their Indebtedness it
would work wonderful change in this
country.
Of course it would in time reduce
the price of farm products because of
the great increase in production. This,
however, would automatically reduce
living expenses, and that would bring
down the cost of labor, and production
would become less expens IVES and
wholesale and retail prices would be
lowered in proportion.
In other words, there would be a
general reduction in the price of every
thing throughout the country.
We lose a tremendous amount Of
foreign trade for the simple reason
that our cost of production is so great
that we find it difficult to compete in
world markets with other countries
whose people are not living at so rap
id and expensive a pace. This reduc-
| ton in foreign trade, together with
the rapid and constant influx of immi-
grants from abroad, produces stag
nation in our labor markets and Great
es our unemployed.
| There should be general reduction
| of all prices of every nature, begin
ming with the man at the top, who car
best afford it, and ending with the one
at the bottom, who can least afford
it.
It is useless to ask one element o.
our population to suffer a reduction
in revenue while other elements con
tinue to rake in their exorbitant pro
fits. That is both unfair and fool
hardy, because it leads to unrest am
trouble.
There can never be any great reduc
ton in table costs as long as a grea
portion of the land remains untille
and those who are at present workin
> the farms are compelled to pay exces
sive prices for everything they use.
A careful and honestly administers
| system of governmental aid to thos
| who desire to return to the farms an
become definite producers would go
J long way toward solving the most di,
ficult problem now facing the Amer
can people.
