TAX THE BILLBOARDs

Many state legislatures, as we'll as
the federal congress, are casting about
Ter new subjects Of taxation. and GENE
one hns suggested that there should
Ike tax on billboards.
Doesn't this strike you as good
suggestion?
Newspapers and magazines and all
other advertising mediums pay taxes.
Why should the billboard escape?
True, It is poor advertising med
.um. hut really that is one Of the best
Of reasons why 1t should be taxed
1axing billboards out Of existence
would not be a step in the wrong di
rection.
A billboard is an cyesorc at hist.
md the more you think about 1t the
less reason there seems to be for Its
existence.

MAKING SATISFIED WORKERS

The workman who does not like his
work will not be good workman. En-.
ployers are beginning to realize this
and are beginning to make their work
attractive.
Labor unions may take the wrong
course ut times, but 1t won't do any
good to rail Mt the labor unions. An
attractive job will do more to make an
employee satisfied. and make him a
good workman, than anything else in
the world.
This is true of workers in the mass,
and Of workers as individuals. A dis
satisfied employee Is not satisfactory.
at any price.
II you can't make your employee
satisfied. II you can't make them take
an interest In their work, you had bet

SPEED IT UP

When the administrative branch Of
a European government finds itself
out Of harmony with the legislative
branch. 1t promptly resigns. New men
are appointed who will carry out tho
wishes Of the legislators. who come di.
rect from the people. This has hap
pened within the past few weeks in
France and in Italy.
France has republic. while Italy
has constitutional monarchy. Each
comes nearer being democracy than
the government Of the United States.
No cabinet has ever resigned in a
body during the entire history Of the
United States. No president has ever
resigned. But 1t has frequently hap
pcned that the president and his cab,-
net were at loggerheads with the Con.
gress.
1t takes long time in this country
to get the popular will. as reflected at
the polls. put into effect A president
elected in November does not take Of.
fee until the March following, and the
congress elected at the same time as
the president does not meet until De
cemebr Of the following year unless
the president calls 1t to meet in spec.
ial session.

ment, for the most part, but some I'm.

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency Of medical science Ia
toward preventative measures. It ia
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one Of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows =
cold or attack Of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development Of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlaiu's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication Of q cold appears
SO As to get rid OF 1t ,with the least
possible delay. 1t il folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this rem
edy may be obtained for a trifie.

Proposed Reform Of Calendar.

Prof. Rene Balre OF Dillon. has a
most revolutionary plnn for calendar

year. from July. and give February 30
days. The LIST. 7th. 18th. 10th and
25th Days Of each month would be
Sundnys-sixty TO the yenr. and New
