OR such educational and cultural articles as
books and pianos in modest homes.
Income should be taxed, not the things that
produce income. The taxing of dead stuff like
furniture is as foolish as it is futile Favori-
tism and gross discrimination are inevitable in
such stupid application of the taxing power.
Intangible personality should not be taxed at
all, for the effort to tax it is foredoomed to
failure, and the few who pay taxes stocks,
bank deposits and the like are those least able
to bear the burden-widows and orphans,
chiefly, whose moderate inheritances are under
going probate Humbug in taxation does not
even pay in revenue. 1t does not yield the
sums needed for the support OF government
1t does yield perjury and evasion on every
hand. These are, of course, demoralizing to
citizenship and they breed contempt for law.
Cease to tax household possessions, the farm
ers' implements, the lawyers books, the savings
bank deposits of the thrifty. Tax instead the
income of every citizen at so moderate a rate
that payment will be burdensome to none.
Revenue for public purposes greatly in excess
OF that obtained under the existing unjust per-
sonal property tax cannot fail to result from the
suggested rational change in taxation methods.

Demoralizing Literature.

The authorities of a number of cities recent
ly have stopped the sale of several publica-
lions that have grown popular among certain
classes because of the risqueness of their con-
tents. The publications are sold in Rock Is
land, and are to be had at a number of stores
about the city. Why any sane person should
want one of these magazines is beyond the
comprehension of the clean minded citizen, yet
the fact remains that there are more people
in Rock Island buying them than you would
imagine there are. The tragic thing is that
this type of literature falls into the hands of
the young, boys and girls who crave the
printed word when it borders on the forbidden
There isn't one redeeming feature about any
of these publications. Their stories mostly
touch on the vulgar and indecent They aren't
even smart. They contain some of the lowest
and vilest references, each seemingly seeking
to Guido the other in this respect
These magazines are doing real harm in
Rock Island and in every other community
where they are permitted to be sold. There is
enough SHINING as part of the regular daily
life of the~city without winking at open at
tempts to corrupt the morals of the peopIe
through the circulation of such Shiny Iitera-
ture as is here referred to. The local authorf-
ties have it in their power to prevent the
sale of this filth in Rock Island, and they
should lose no time IN taking proper action. in
the interest of the welfare of those who haven't
the moral stamina to resist the appeal of this
wicked reading matter.

Uncle Joe's Retirement.

It is likely that Joseph c. Cannon could have
continued in the national house to the end of his
days had he chosen to do 50, but his decision not
to seek another term is evidence of wosdom on
his part He will withdraw from public life
after remarkable record of service and with
out suffering the humiliation of forced retire
ment, an experience that is always present ir
the uncertainty of the political game.
Uncle Joe, representing the Eighteenth Hi
nois district, has spent more than half of his
Sc years as a member of congress. He is now
in his 23d term. during eight years of which he
was speaker of the house One of the most pic
turesque figures who has ever occupied seat
in congress, Uncle Joe has become interna-
tonally famed for his wit and good fellowship.
Despite his age. he has remained actively on
the job at Washington and has kept in close
touch with political affairs in the nation and
especially those in his home district in Illinois.
He is Republican of the staunchest type, and
when there arose in congress any question in
volving party divisions there was never any
question as to where Urcle Joe was TO be
found.
Yet beneath the surface of the announce
ment of the purpose of Congressman Cannon to
withdraw from public life there is discernable
note of pathos. Although not admitted by him
or his friends, there is probably feeling in
Republican circles in the Eighteenth district
that % terms ought to be enough to SATISFY any
man, which is an undeniable truth. And, too.
Uncle Joe has reached a time in life, it may
be argued, where he ought TO realize that he
is not equal to the demands of the position he
has been holding and which he has so credit
ably been filling In other words, Uncle Joe
has no doubt been compelled to acknowledge
that he is growing old. He is not the kind that
would admit he is too old for another fight,
but it is probable that he has been made to
see that he is not able to endure the campaign
hardships that he reveled in when he was
younger in years than he g today.
So that Uncle Joe will pass from public life
bearing the honors OF 46 years Of service and
with the satisfaction of feeling that he might
have held his title indefinitely had he willed
to do so His passage from the stage will be
regretted, yet it is but fair that one who has
served his country so long and faithfully as has
Uncle Joe deserves the surcease from labo;
md responsibility that will be his on the com
bletOn of his present term.
The people of Illinois and of the nation
will hope for Uncle Joe a continuation of the
joyful life that has always been his--at least
he has made us believe, as he tilted back in his
seat and dragged at that long black cigar that
he knew naught but happiness and content
ment-and that he may have the blessing of
good health for many years to come.

Sensible Taxation Methods.

In forceful speech in the Illinois constitu-
tional convention last week Walter H. Wilson
of the Chicago delegation advocated a small
uniform income tax without exemption or
graduation. Such tax, Mr. Wilson maintained
would yield the state large revenue and he
demonstrated the truth of his assertion by
citing figures from official sources showing
how enormous are the sums Americans spend
on luxuries and amusements. The convention
cannot afford to ignore the facts so slearly
stated by Mr.. Wilson and so effectively driven
home by statistics and argument Unfair and
unnecessary exemptions or excessive and steep
graduation should be avoided on principle and
in recognition of the common citizenship that
makes general support of'government badge
OF honor as well as duty. The convention
will also do well to heed Mr.. Wilson'S emphatic
advice to junk the bunk in dealing with taxa
uon There is no sense or justice, as he truly
contended. taxing tools OF trade-farmers'
horses. sewing machines. reapers or tractors

Ireland Still a Sore Spot.

Ireland is proving a disappointment to its
| friends The series of outrages which have
marked the past week are disheartening Some
Sim Feiners were held as political prisoners
in Ulster province, and we're sentenced to be
executed. OF course, there was no chance of
their being put to death. They had been re-
prieved in fact but the news of the reprieve had
not reached Dublin. 1t is charged that the
wires were cut. Sympathizers with southern
Ireland, represented to be remnants of the Irish
Republican army, determined to anticipate the
executions with foretaste of reprisals which
would follow them. They went across the
border and seized Ulster constables and other
officials. The Ulstermen retaliated. and the
fight was on. 1t is not necessary to assign
blame either to the government of Ulster or
the south. 1t the old story of irresponsi-
bles taking the law, their conception of law
into their own hands.
The whole border is strewn with the gun
powder of hate and bitterness and tho match
has been applied Order may be restored, but
the problem of settling the border controversy
of determining whether Tyrone and Ferma-
nagh counties shall be Ulster or SOUTH has been
rendered infinitely more difficult Confidence
in Michael Collins and Sir John Craig premiers
OF the two governments, has not been mis-
placed. They can help restore peace if they
will unscathingly rebuke their own disturbers.
Months after the American Civil war was over
Confederate privateers isolated in polar seas
continued to seize and destroy ships that came
from northern ports. They had never heard
that Lee had surrendered and that the Con-
federacy was no more. There was no wireless
in those days; but at the present time. with
methods of quick communication everywhere
at hand, there is reason why news should
not travel quickly. The word should go out in
every nook and corner of ireland that the war
is over,

For Universal Language.

Advocates OF an International language ars
now urging its benefits with renewed warmth
because of the likelihood of frequent and con-
tinued international conferences on all soru
of world matters. Colonel E. NJ. House is
among those who have taken up the defense of
either Esperanto or medieval Latin as a univer-
sal language. Colonel House points out that
such a language would not be employed to
replace national tongues. Its use would be
confined to making the existing speeches more
Ineligible to representatives of different ma
tons. Individuals would have to learn only
enough of the world language to help them in
their particular fields.
The traveller would need words necessary to
order taxis, inquire directions and transact
similar business in the course of his journey
ing. The scientist would need only certain
specialized words and phrazes helpful in get
ting start in communication with foreign
fellow scientists. The technical terms of sci
ence already similar identical in many
nations. Common linguistic bases exist in so
many departments of human interest that very
little more than connecting links needed
say the world language enthusiasts. There is
much to be said for this point of view. and yet
it seems to indicate at the same time a decreas-
ing need for such help. Why not develop
other common linguistic bases normally as
those already in existence have developed,
without straining to work out formal system?
or why not have everybody learn English?

in amazement.
He was right. 1t was the butler.
1t seems that Henry was not real
burglar-nOthing like that-quite a
duffer at it, in fact 1t was simply
manifestation of his interest in
his employers. He knew how anx-
lous they were TO be robbed, and as
1t made him nervous to sleep in

he had resolved to end the suspense
for both. Steal nothing, you under

lead to the belief that the burglar
had been frightened away. Thus
his employers could hold up their

whispered this explanation, he
swallowed his disappointment and

Now is the Time.

Along about valentine time l a.
ways feel particularly sorry for
those poor souls who depend on
golf for exercise. And worse still,
along comes my old friend Chick
Evans, the greatest golfbug that
ever worried the pesky little pill
over the pasture lot, and cheers
the old dodgers up by assuring
them that a daily half hour of in
door golf is about as good a physic-
al training as the Brady Symphony
Alas, even Chick slices 'em some
times.
But now let US chuck Chick and
come to the point. Exercise which
is to be of permanent and lasting
and certain benefit must be taken
every day in the year, not just in
certain seasons or on certain days
| when conditions happen to be
agreeable. Exercise daily, is quite
as essential for perfect health as is
washing the hands; and people who
neglect to take exercise are quite as
| unclean physiologically as people
are personally who omit washing
| the hands before eating, and quite
as much endangered by disease. Ex-
ercise does really merit the de-
scription internal BATH" for it in
creases the absorption of oxygen,
the great dutch cleanser of the
blood and tissues. If more people
could be prevailed upon to take
more exercise more days per annuin
there would be tremendous falling
of in the nations sick list.

or rather added two new move
ments both adagio, necessarily.
