Dear K. c. B-I read what you wrote about

your apparent sympathy with service men,
until recalled that by the article Of the day

your effusion over the "hissing" Of your Jap

Schools Face
Breakdown

HIS omihous statement was
made recently by the new
Federal Commissioner of
Education, DR.. John ]. Tigert:
The educational system Of the
United States Is almost at q
breakdown.
Free public education is democ-
racy's cornerstone. If it crumbles
the whole structure falls.
Upon what does DR.. Tgert base
his alarming Judgment
Upon these facts, among others:
Only one pupil in four com
pletes the. instruction in the
elementary grades. In eighty
cities where school conditions are
most favorable only half the
pupils 60 through these grades.
In no State are more than Is
per cent Of the enrolled pupils
completing the high school course.
In thirty-seven States the per-
centage is less than ten.
Of all high school pupils more
than half get no farther than the
first year.
Yet in every school district in
creasing difficulty is found in
providing sufficient school build
ings, equipment and teachers to
accommodate the growing elemen-
tary attendance. In none is the
teaching staff adequately paid.
DR.. Tigert suggested no remedy.
But there is one. It is to change
the method of grading so that
each pupil may advance as rapid
ly as desirable and none be put
back, to go over old ground.
Only by accelerating the rate of
progress and saving the tremen-
dous costs Of needless Implications
and delays can the school plant
Be made to produce a satisfactory
product at a price the taxpayers
can afford to pay.

The Poor PLesiOsaurus.
OMEBODY reported having

COMEbODI reported having
- seen a living plesiosaurus in
an Andean lake in Patagonia
and in an instant an expedition
was organized to capture the
monster, dead or alive. The last
plesiosaurus on record died about
10000, 900 years ago and scientists
want to find out whether this one
is a direct descendant or merely
a distant relative in some COL
lateral line.
A real, honest-to-goodness pie
siosaurus ought to be about sixty
to eighty feet long and should
look something like the dragon
which st. George slew.
The Sociedad Protectora de los
Animales of Buenos Aires-which
is about the same as our societies
for tbe prevention of cruelty to
animals - is now protesting
against the capture of this animal.
eff scientists want to study
the creature, says the Sociedad,
"let them do it in a humane way
in its habitat while it is enjoying
full liberty
We heartily agree with the So
ciety dad. A plesiosaurus ought
to have the same rights as any
other animal. 1t ought to be con-
sidered innocent until it's guilt is
proven. 1t should be left to
founder about its lake to it's
hearts content.
What harm did plesiosaurus
ever do anyonei Think of it's
mother and Of its dear, little
young ones. If you want to COM
municate with it, why not take a
trip to Patagonia and pay a
friendly VISIT If the plesiosaurus
should be out, you can always
leave your card.
It is rumored that the Sociedad
is about to open a branch in
Afghanistan for the prevention Of
cruelty to fleas.

PLATFORM MEN.
EDITOR OF THE TIMES;

EDITOR OF THE TIMES;
In answer to article headed Litigation
Expected Over Fares" I would like to correct
the very false statement made by Col. Charles
Keller that platform men Of the railroad are
uneducated and unskilled. II the Intelligent
gentleman will look up the biography Of some
OF our platform men who have been good busi-
ness men and lawmakers. he will find them
United States Senators. railroad presidents, and
bankers. These broad.minded men received
their education by the country fire-side and on
railroad platforms.
II this gentleman cannot find any better
weapon to fight the railroad company with
than his narrow personal remarks which are
untrue about few employees. It would be
advisable to put the work in the hands Of
higher and more capable tribunal for research.

Truth About
q Sales Tax.
n HE sales tax is not a painless
tax. No tax is painless.

ACI VIC uoNC w ~ w ucutASIc
and we have to pay taxes.
The only question about dentists
is: Which gets the best results
with the least hurti
Same with taxes.
The sales tax gets the most
money into the Treasury at the
lowest cost Of collection and with
the least pain to the taxpayers.
That is the only argument about
its painlessness, and it's a good
argument-good enough for. any
common-sense person.
But the real argument for the
sales tax is something different.
Everybody can see that bust
ness is in the dumps. Everybody
can see that millions Of workers
are idle. Everybody can see that
factories are closed or running
with smaller forces.
Everybody can hear the farmers
complaining that they can't sell
their products for a fair price, or
else can't sell them at all.
And anybody who can think
straight knows that there will be
no good times until capital is
ready to employ more labor in
producing.
There must be work and wages
to make the workers able to buy
goods before the merchants can
buy from the farms and mills.
AS long as excessive income and
profits taxes destroy the earnings
of capital invested in industries
that. employ labor, just SO long
capital will refuse to branch out
and will curtail investment.
No law will change that.
Therefore, the real argument
for the sales tax is that it will
relieve industrial investment of
destructive taxation and 80 start
the wheels of industry again.
That is why the Canadians are
satisfied with the sales tax,
though probably many Of them do
not know why they are. But if
they cannot reason it out on eco
nomic principles, they can SEE
THE RESULTS, and that's
enough for them.
You can't make investment un-
profitable and have continuous in
vestment.
Income taxes are all right. Cor
poration taxes are all right,
Profit taxes are all right.
But they are all right only so
long as they are not destructive.
When they pass that line they are
all wrong.
With a small sales tax applied
to wholesalers and jobbers, as in
Canada, enterprise will be un-
shackled.
Then capital will begin to in
vest in industries, and men and
women will begin to have work at
good wages and the merchants
will begin to have customers and
everybody will begin to be more
prosperous.
It's just like the story Of the
House That Jack Built. Only
this story is true.
Most of you folks who are op-
posed to the sales tax do not un-
derstand how it would work.
And, for that matter, a lot Of
those who argue for the sales tax
are in the same fix. That's why
they do not use the right argu-
ments.
It does not take a profound
thinker to understand the sales
tax. All that is needed is clear
explanation.
Then any man can see that
