TAXES NOT AN UNJUST BURDEN

The average man takes an entirely
wrong view Of taxation. He generally
looks upon il as necessary evil, TO be
avoided so far as possible.
When We stop 70 think that il is our
contribution and fair share Of the ex-
penSe Of an elaborate system of
schools, highways and police and court
protection and our fair share for the
care Of our poor, insane and criminal
our present taxes should not seem ex-
cessiye or burdensome. Most Of us
pay a very small amount for the ben
eft and advantages we receive.
Looked at in the light Of a contribu-
tion 10 a good cause, does il seem
excessive, when we realize that SOC
year from each poll tax payer, $500 a
year from each man with a grand list
Of 81 900 and so on in proportion, for
a perod Of Is years will pay almost the
ntire cost Of bond issue Of $4,000
900 and the interest, for a magnificent
road system for the State? We ought
20 be glad to do il.

4 REVOLUTIONARY DISCOVERY.

When YOU get tired OF reading of the eXpendi-
lures of millions dollars for battleshps of the
great. fortunes spent for standing armies. of the
vast effort spent on destruction you will be re-
freshed by the fact that this government has
financed a cbauImoogra plantation in Hawaii.
Eight years hence it is expected that the govern
uent will produce oil from the fruits of this tree
with an unpronounceable name.
This enterprise viii erase the most dreaded word
from the dictionary if the statement Of scientists
be taken Ii correct
From the earliest ages the one word that brought
a shudder by It's very hopelessness was leprosy.
It existed in the early days of written history
and in the Bible typfies the great dread on
the part of man.
Medicine has been unable to discover-its cause.
II comes and SO terrible S its scOurge and
devastating its power that the only method which
either scsence or government has thus far been
able to use in stopping It's spread the isolation
Of it's lonely island in the Pacific there
to spend their days simply waiting for the end.
Now it appears that older than the science Of
medicine was the knowledge i'm India that oil
from the chaulmoogra tree would do much for
skin diseases II was tried the members of
the epcr colony-and it cures.
Then began the search for the tree. 1t s found
only in the deepest junsles of Burma. 1t IS
guarded by wild elephants and man-eating tigers.
The Story Of the hunt FOR these trees and their
seeds is one of the great dramatic episodes Of
science.
The entire world supply furnished by bar
barous tribes who traded the output for few bits
OF glass-and to the hopeless condemned creatures
waiting and Struggling against their own despair
it was priceless.
The amount spent in starting this enterprise is
piufuliy smau-about the operating cost Of the
senate on summer day when senators break
forth into oratory.

impossible. but now we would n0t

windows closed"
In this letter were other interest
ing things. They spoke of their
simple diet. the homemade bread.
and particularly. their sensible use
of quantities OF milk.
II is surprising how many persons
go through life-many of them Hv-

ped its wild dash and saved the occupants of a
buggy from injury
Il had thought about doing something heroic
for years" said this boy whose companions have
been largely his books.
When he other boys playing, full of strength,
Of vigor and complete. he envied them the chance
to perform the heroic.
That new cult would trace his mental action to
a sense OF inferorty which inevitably turned his
thoughts away from his own deformities to the
strength of others.
Normal bsys do not dream of such adventures
as grasped his Imagination. They are more intent
upon play and the healthy exercise of youth
Had he permitted his thoughts to dwell uron
his limitations. had he permitted self-pity to
his soul and destroy it. had he caught
the dream OF accomplishment there would have
been rescue in such dramatic fashion when this
horse began its stampede.
But he had figured in his mind just such
situation. When the chance came he did not
oringe in fear but met the opportunity for which
his mind had been prepared.
He acted automatically. rather than by vortion.
What this crippled youth did can be done by 9TH
ers in far different directions
Are you satisfied with the way YOU are handling

Someday, that opportunity will come What YOU
thinking today viii have much 20 do with the
way YOU II you have dreamed and hoped
and pondered on the big chance YOU Will act as
automatically did the deformed boy when his
dramatic moment arrived.
Perhaps you have secretly admired the masters
of bis enterprises and perhaps criticised th2ir
methods and compared them with what you would
do II your own small ENTERPRISE was a giant in size
You may have turned your thoughts TO politics
and dramatzed yourself a leader. You will not
he one unless YOU are ready for leadership.
