PUBLISHING THE TAX ROLL

Right now in Lancaster is great deal Of talk
about correct assessments We may divide over
who should be assessor but we all agree that a
proper, fair and correct assessment we should
and must have.
The Herald believes that nearly everybody
wants to be fair. Most of us willing to pay
every nickel we should pay in Carrying the bur
dens of the community providing we feel sure
the other fellow is also doing his share.
That's where the sl1ullduggery comes in. Be
cause a blind man could see that injustices will
ing or not, have been perpetrated, we all take
the frame of mind that leads toward getting by
at the smallest cost even though we may know
we are not paying what we should pay.
This frame of mind is wrong but the tax fix
ing and assessing bodies are largely to blame
for it, Rumor and suspicion fill the air. This
man is accused (behind his back) of paying half
what he should pay on a valuable farm or bust
ness property. Homes that we know are worth
$4,000 to $4,000 are assessed for one-haH or
one-third what they should be assessed. Every
body begins to cheat. "If they can do it and get
aawy with it, hwy can't WEI" We do.
Publicity is the greatest check on skulldug-
gerry in the world. Few people are brazen
enough to have their little CRAFTS bazoned be-
fore gossiping world
The Herald believes the tax roll for Lancaster
should be published. We think the city council
should provide for this and be willing to pay FOR
having it done as a check against street talk,
but paying for it is not essential If the city is
unwilling to pay for it, the Herald will publish
the tax roll for Lancaster, item for item, parcel
by parcel name by name, tax by tax, without
charge as a matter of public interest All we
ask would be the O. K. of the council and proper
and clear copy.
No fair person need fear publicity. No hon
est man does fear it. If injustices are done they
will be apparent to ALL If skullduggery exists
it will stick out like sore thumb.
Turn on the light!

JAZZ MUSIC IS NOT TO BLAME
-O-O-O-

Much valuable newspaper space is being
wasted by lengthy editorials and meaningless
articles written by would-be reformers on the
of the matter is that the writer's are seemingly
ignorant of the real meaning of the word ''jazz.
The word came into popularity before the war
and was installed as superior over the old time
slang word ''rag-time," term applied to music
of fast broken rhythm When dance masters
originated the tango and One-step composers
started writing rag-time music to be used for
the new steps. Rag music has never been re-
modelled-the rhythm remains the same as ever.
Butts is played differently. The word 'jazz''
originated in the slums and was applied to music
''faked" by would-be musicians, the majority OF
whom couldn't read music if they had to- and
the rag" effect was produced by pounding, rat
thing, and haw-hawing by the musicians who
were ever trying to keep pace with the wiggling,
waggng diddling, dipping dancers.
This jazz music has spread into Europe and is
in the world to stay as long as our modern
dancers need it for their "hindoo movements y
The present day musicians are tired Of jazz
music-too much originality is necessary to
satisfy the dancers. They will welcome a re-
turn to old-time playing.
The present-day dance must he modified-it
is the ruination of the younger generation. If
new and more graceful dance steps are origin
ated jazz music will gradually wither away

W. J. BRYAN VERSUS EVOLUTION

Mr. Bryan has undertaken big job IN refu-
ting Darwin and scientific evolution. 1t is a
surprising thing that a man of Bryan's radical
ideas on political matters should be far be-
hind in science as to try to set the world back
hundreds of years Wilbur Glenn Voiiva, Dow
les successor in Zion City, contends that the
earth is fiat and that the sun travels around us,
but the outside world refuses to take him SER
iously guessing that he merely desires the adj
vertising the contention will bring him. Mr..
Bryan seems to have joined the school OF reIg-
ious thought that explains all phenomena by
saying God is Great" But the world is not
satisfied to sit down and chant platitudes when
knowledge may be had for the seeking And
there is nothing in religion or science that in
terdicts the search for knowledge. Whatever
facts have been or may be hereafter ascertained,
not one of them will conflict with any fact pre-
viousy known No two facts can ever conflict
if they appear to do So it is because only one is
fact Mr.. Bryan seems to think the world
should have buried it's head in the sand and
shut off its sight hearing and understanding
centuries before crazy scientists began talking
about the world being round, and about finding
remains of prehistoric man in the rocks, and
present form. No one need fear any truth of
nature, religion or science will be impaired by
all the facts that investigation can reveal

GETTING BY

"How does he get away with it?' Who has
not heard the question asked, asked it himself
in more or less these words For we do see men
getting by on a presumption to more ability,
more BRAINS more industry, more credit than
they deserve. It does happen, although not
nearly so often as people are inclined to think.
Where does it all even up? Apparently they
draw more out of life for less investment than
thousands who have not the trick of bluffing or
of carrying off an undeservedly high estimate
of their powers. Is there anything fair about
it? Who knows? Can anyone say that the ap-
parent easy going lightheartedness of some of
those who "get by" is real? May they not be
suffering continually the fear of balancing on
the edge of precipice? We don't know; it is
one of the unsolved questions about human ma
ture.
All that the man who lacks the knack of get
ting life on such apparently easy terms can
know is that for him to try the bluff game would
not be happiness but wretchedness. He has one
way wherein he can walk and be friends with
himself and be at ease in his own mind. Maybe
nature cheated him; mayhap he is prey to his
own fears. You can speculate all day about it.
But the only answer is there is something in a
man to tell him what he can do and "feel right
about it. and if he steps outside to initiate what
he believes is the course of some other mind he
has lost his moorings to what for him is the only
safe reality.-Miwaukee Journal.

His Name Was Not Samnson


Inc foreman of of negro laborers en-
ployed in wrecking an old house had Just hired
an additional big, stout-looking negro who had
asked for job.
"Well, what's your name?" asked the boss.
Simpson, answered the newly hired laborer
"All right Simpson," directed the foreman,
go over there where that pile of old material is
and carry it over to that loading platform
Quite anxious to make good, Simpson hustled
over to the pile intent on carrying out the order
OF the boss. However, it did not take him
moment to see that the pile was made of timbers
heavier than any two men could carry.
Slowly he walked back to the foreman with
puzzled look on his face, and said: "Boss, | said
my name was Simpson"
That's all right" said the boss, 81 heard YOU

EDITORIAL
DO WE NEED GOOD ROADS?

DO WE NEED GOOD ROADS!
At the risk of being called a bore the Herald
again turns attention to the question of good
roads Let us drop pose and pretension Let
us be frank.
The writer and most of his readers are tax
payers in this county. Some of us are heavy
tax payers, some of us are light tax payers.
All are tax payers, whether we pay to a land
lord or direct to the tax CATERERS.
Anything that is good for the county is good
for each citizen of the county. Good roads are
our greatest necessity and how to get them our
greatest problem.
A lot of cheating and mental hoodwinking has
been going on over giving good roads. The
state and federal governments are to blame for
this They have introduced a system OF Estate
aid" government aid" etc. The little idea is
to make us believe we are getting something
for nothing.
Forget it.
No one ever got something for nothing.
This may not be good English but it is good
sense.
Any roads we build we must pay for. Any
money thrown away on ill-adVlsed and foolish
road projects comes out of our pockets. No dl-
vine power from the outside is coming IN to give
ais good roads. They simply give US back what
they took away from us less the cost OF admin
istration chair warmers, spurs-o TEL
lows and the like.
In the past few weeks the losses to the Herald
from diminished advertising receipts, simply
because customers of our customers could not
get to market no matter how attractive the ads,
could be safely put at $50 week Ten weeks,
fall and spring, means $500 loss to u.s. This VIII
far more than pay our share for good roads for
five years
The same loss in greater or less proportion hit
every business man in the county We don't
know how to put the farmers losses but we ina
CINE that most farmers would gladly give $50 or
even 800 a year to escape the quagmires they
have waded through last fall and this spring.
The town people suffer in peace of mind. We
lose money by poor roads but we don't have to
travel them The farmers do travel. They have
the actual grief and misery Of it, let alone the
isolation, the loneliness, the confinement that
at certain seasons makes farm life what its
worst critics say it is.
We often dream Of good roads. We dream
OF broad avenues, white ribbons of stone, filled
with traffic winter and summer, which our
farmers are hauling loads without effort, on
which people are riding winter and summer to
their market towns as they will. We see the
farmers child attending schools regularly
without wading knee-deep in mud. We see
these fine arteries Of travel used winter and
summer for business or social purposes. We
dream of country life, ampliied and made
better one hundred fold by quick and easy me-
th0ds of locomOtion.
We dream of this system coming de-
mand from the people because they have seen
the need and are manfully willing to pay the
cost as cost we must pay When dream of
good roads we dream of democracy and a
greater and better America

THE HORSES PRAYER

'To thee, my master, | offer my prayer.
Feed, water and care for me, and when the days

do not whip me when going up hill. Never strike
beat or kick me when do not understand what
you want; but give me chance to understand
you Watch me- and if fail to do your bidding
see if something is not wrong to prevent me
from obeying.
"Do not overload me or hitch me where water
will drip on me- Keep me we'll shod. Examine
my teeth when | do not eat | may have an u-

me clean, cool water often. | cannot tell you in

A test of a dairy herd in neighboring town
showed SO reactors out OF 1875 cows.
Sc COWS were afflicted with bovine tubercu-
losis Of these when slaughtered IS showed
distinct signs of tubercular LESSONS One calf

Milk from these COWS had been peddled in
the neighboring city for years.
The best food for growing infants and young
children, next to mothers milk, is pure milk
from a healthy cow. The most dangerous food
in the world for growing children is tubercular-
ridden milk from tubercular cows Bovine tu-
hercules find ready soil in the systems of little
children.
The public health service should require all
herds furnishing milk for human consumption,
and especially for child consumption, to be tu-

more important than dollars.

would be to have the herd tested and to weed
out all reactors. We would sell our milk as alb

THE CITY MANAGER PLAN

Waterloo, Iowa, $4,000, defeated the city
manager form of government at a recent cleo
ton. Lately the trend has been away from
rather than toward the commission-manager
plan
The city manager idea is a panacea for civic
ills similar to taking something out of bottle
to cure disease caused by wrong diet and i'm
proper living methods. Sometimes she works
and more often she don't work.
1t is easier to take dose of medicine than to
cut down on food and put in six miles day on
the hoof and it is easier to shift the problem
of municipal affairs onto some new scheme OF
government than to take an intelligent interest
in an older method that is probably all right if
given fair trial
Thinking is one of the hardest things we do.
The Herald is not opposed to commission
manager plan of city government. We are OPP
posed to taking cures out of a bottle.
An intelligent interest in public affairs in
stead Of utter lack of interest all year and back
biting and abuse around election will do more
to advance civic government than anything we
know Of.
But we must think.

is THE PRESIDENT BRAVE OR ASTUTE

An Iowa republican newspaper says that
whatever else we might say of the president,
he has a courage that is lacking III a great many
congressman 1t took real courage to come out
any say that this is not proper time for bonus
Legislation.
To this democratic exchange comments
"'The president may be courageous, but he is
not making much of ''hit'' with the boys in
the trenches. Moreover, the question OF
whether or not the president is courageous is
not an issue. The bonus is the question, and it
cant be evaded by extolling the presidents
courage which seems to be exhibited at rather
unfortunate times.
To the Heralds mind the president is looking
forward to public opinion in 1924 rather than
the more or less heated views of the present. In
this Harding seems to be more astute than
most of us gave him credit for being He evil

ton too heavily at the tail end AS this is a
