Golf is not absolutely necessary.
There are people who get along with
out II. Some Of them live to green
old ages. too. No golfer Will believe
that. but 1t is true, just the same.
Two Of my neighbors scout the
idea that golf is any more fascinat-
ing than vegetable gardening.
When 1 point out 10 them that
vegetable gardening is unsatisfying
because it backs the gambling COM
pick, they told me that they bet on
gardening just as golfers bet on holes
and add scores.
Jones. who lives next door to me.
il already 10 cabbages up and Il 10
grow on Brown. who lives three
doors up the street. At So a cabbage
that is 500 ahead. but he thinks
that p own will pick up a cabbage
now and then before the first of Oc-
tober when that particular game
ends.
Both Of them insist that they get
Just as tired and nearly as dirty IN
playing a round of string beans or
onions as I do in playing a round Of
golf
OF course they have no caddies to
blame when they drop a row of po-
tatOes or top an asparagus path with
a hoe. but they can always take their
FL temper out on the family. If any
member Of it is standing around TO
watch them play.
Supplying The Professional Element.
They club together TO supply the
professional feature. which makes
golf so aIluring. by hiring an Italian
gardner TO sell their garden tools 10
them. He buys rakes and trowels
and spades at the wholesale price,
varnishes them and stamps his name
on them, and sells them TO the gar
den club members at So an imple-
ment in advance.
For So an hour he Will teach them
10 swing a mattock. and assure them
that If they keep It up for 20 years
they Will win all the cups offered by
the club.
Now and then when he IS feeling
in a particularly good humor he Will
dig around the course with them. or
get his friends with big regulations
TO come over to the club and space
an exhibition row OF lettuce plants.
Just at present none Of the courses
are overcrowded. and there IS no
trouble in getting a starting time
when the gardeners go out 10 hoe of
on the first potato bed.
But they tell me that IN time, when
people become educated up 10 the
advantages o fthe new pastime. Il

bership Of the clubs. and 20 put the
green fee up 10 SO. so that each

they be allowed 10 rake through.
All the unusual conveniences are

ing locker rooms and showers. and

4 NEW REMINDER.

Before the st OF this month large number OF
citizens must pay to the government special taxes
the total OF which runs into hundreds OF millions
OF dollars.
When these taxes are paid, necessary perhaps,
every dollar that is collected will be passed along
10 the consumer and be reflected in the cost Of
living
Chief of these taxes is the special tax Of 81 upon
every thousand dollars of capitalization value
OF stock of corporations Inasmuch every large
or medium sized industry is owned by a corpora
ton this means in effect a tax upon carital in
crease in the operating expense, a sum that must
be before the labOrer can hope for his wages
or the buyer of products expect any reduction in
prices.
Special lines Of business and occupations are
called upon TO contribute. Pawnbrokers must pay
500. Owners of taxcabs and drivers Of autos for
profit must kick in with $50 for each Those
who operate bowling alleys must pay $40 for each
alley
These trick taxes are devised by Congress to mis-
lead the public from the real cost OF government.
They are evasions, OF course, from an honest fac
ing OF the debts Of government and the distribu-
ton OF that uron those who benefit.
Perhaps. too. there may be the hope that this
taxing OF special classes detract attention from
the fact that men who are entrusted with the task
Of collecting a few billions Of debts making
little Roadway and that until those debts are col
lected. huge Ievies may be expected.
There is more than a suspicion that the govern
ment loans will not be paid until the friends of
those who control the finances OF the United States
collect their private claims against these debtor
governments. For these governments borrowed
huge sums from the big bankers OF this country
who are also anxious to collect
These special taxes ought to suggest TO those
who pay them that their selfish interest lies in
eIecting congressman who viii demand a straight
sales tax and who will dare to ask that this gov
eminent collect It's loans before permitting the
big bankers TO collect theirs
