work but that it offers the solution Of
twentieth century Industrial problems. At
first though one would be inclined to
scoff at such a view as worse than lu-
dicrous; yet the author makes his con
tention at least plausible and establishes
an ingenious yet genuine connection be-
tween the conditions of Crusoe's island
and of present day America For. in the
face OF almost insuperable difficulties, Cru
soc succeeded because he was free and was
urged onward by no external impulse; be-
cause he was self-coufident rather than
slavish. and had the opportunity to give
scope to his inherent powers. In the same
way the laborers Of to-day may accom-
plish the seemingly impossible il they are
released from artificial letters: II their
damned up natural powers are given
normal outlet; if the method OF freedom
rather than OF force becomes generally ap-
piicable in industry. and IL each man is
encouraged to take vital interest in the
enterprise he serves rather than to act as
a mere automaton.
\ commoner method than the one en-
ployed by Mr. Jackson is that of historical
analogy-the method whereby we attempt
to arrive at an understanding OF the pres
ent through a study OF the past. Such IS
the course pursued by Charles W. Gould
in his book on America a Family Mat
ter. Strange to say. the family matter
dealt with by the author seems at first
glance to have more TO do with the ancient
Egyptians. the Romans and the Greeks
than with modern peoples. for the volume

WOMEN MUST PAY
POLL TAX IN 1923

Beginning with tn1 coming
year women will be required tc
pay poll tax as a concomitant OF
equal rights, according to a de
cision of the Court Of Appeals.
This is in line with other states
where the same question has
arisen since suffrage was CON
ferrcd on the women.
This will mean that wherever
poll taxes exist they will be re-
CURED of women above legal
age. In most counties Of Ked-
lucky a poll tax of $3.50 is levi
ed, to which nearly every mu-
nicipal;ty adds an addition tax.
Neither Jefferson county nor the
city of Louisville imposes a poll
tax, but such an impost is the
rule rather than the exception
elsewhere in the state.
While poll taxes are imro ell
on all males of legal age, col
lection OF same only is assured
from those owning property. AS
a result, every shcriff's settle
ment' is cluttered with a long
list Of delinquents. 1t may BE-
that when the women are sub
jeCted to such a tax the rate Will
be reduced where poll taxes are
levied.

The defense persisted in getting
Miss Snapp to set some day as the

came to the exchange. She finally
said it was the Monday before the
murder was discovered, in direct con-
tradiction to the defendants testimony
that it was the Wednesday or Thurs
day following.
Emory Kimball, brother of Hard
mans divorced wife, was called back
in rebuttal. He said that all Mrs.
Clyde Douglas told him the time he
and she separated from Hardman and
Mrs. Renaker, going off in separate
cars, was that "she hoped Scobee and
his wife would patch ptheir troubles

man had told him he would be
rich now if that other fellow in
France hadn't backed Oat. and
that he would give 500 to him il

Kimball also said that Hard

only woman was in charge.

Robinson said he was able to fix the
hour, as it was his usual time for
breakfast an dhe was waiting t. be

Monday he had carpenter build him
a meat house and he was back with
the workmen all of Monday. Robin
son further said he knew it was be-

working on the road had just passed
