WHO PAYS
TAX FOR THIS
LUXURY
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

Snorfc IrdftarN


NEW YORK, April est is all
very clear, now. When a couple of
business men like Messrs Ilearns
and Dempsey set blithly forth on a
pleasure tour OF Europe, we raised
| the interrogative eyebrow and Won
dered who was going to paE the
luxury tax. Kearns and Dempsey
are all for luxury but they pay the
freight from the gate receipts. The
first intimation that the receipt was
about to lift itself from a feeble ell
bow and look around a home came
yesterday.
1t came in the form of a cable
gram from George Mcdonald, Brit
fish promoter, to Dia Dolings. Brit
ish fight manager now in this coun-
try. George wished to ask Dia what
he might be able to do from this end
OF the wire about Dempsey-W Wills
fight in London.
The cablegram read as follows:
Can you get Wills to come to
London TO box Dempsey. (Signed)
George Mcdonald, Regent Palace.

Could ia get Wills?
1t seemed entirely possible. Mr.
Wills appeared quite enamored of
the idea and suggested that he

In front of the great churches
III New York city for weeks past
there has been a bread line every
night, fifteen hundred strong.
Many in that bread line. toward
the end of the war, were select
ing $l2 silk shirts and asking
the man in the shoe store if he
didn't have something better
than the $l8 shoes.
This newspaper, along with
others. urged workers to rem
ember that high pay would not
last and to keep some of it.
Sooner or later, good times
will come back. Then again this
and other newspapers will say,
Keep some of it." But always
there will be rapid jump from

This is mistake. say bird au-

he is commonly proclaimed.
SparrOwS may eat a little
grain or small fruit, but they
will also eat quantities of weed

insect pests which would work
much greater actual damage
than the birds. The very fact
that the SparrOwS are so numer-

regard more valuable.
Even if they are noisy and

THE CIVIL SERVICELAW

There has been a lot of talk
about the integrity OF the civil
service law as applied to post
mastershipS and the like. There
has been such talk for a long
time, and it bohs up anew with
every change Of the administra-
tiOn at Washington. 1t is a part
of the political game.
1t is a fact, however. that the
criticisms always come from the
minority party.
The truth of the matter i
that neither political party has
ever allowed the civil service law
TO stand in the way of any an.
pOintment that was wanted for
political reasons.
The civil service law is Of
practical use in assuring thar
applicants have at leas, S,,f1
ticlent technical knowledge to
I'LL a particular job, but that is
about as far as it goes.
The necessary proficiency be.
ing shown, the balance depends
upon political pull, if there Is
competition as to the job.
Most OF us wish the law We're
administered differently, but if
is not, and never has been. and
at present there is no assuranc..
that it ever will be. We had
just as well recognize a fact.

A CHAMPION EATER

William Lee kept bOaSting
that he could eat as much as any
man in Philadelphia. and
Michael Yaffe bet him $25 that
he couldn't. They went to a
restaurant to decide the ques-
ton.
William won, but after it was
all over he couldn't get up from
the table. He told the doctor,
who was called in, that he ate
a 12-pOund turkey, So oysters.
two pounds of pork chop, II
eggs, two slices of ham, a large
beefstew, three loaves of bread.
IL cups of coffee and six bottles
y. sTsA1s water The doctor fe-
lieved him of the $25 that he
had won. and says he will get
well.
/. 1t was a mOnStrOuS meal, but
Bill weighs 238 pounds and is
six feet four inches tall in his
socks.
A teaspOonful of wood alcohol,
sold as real whiskey, would have
done him more harm than the
big meal, for if he had swallow
ed it, the undertaken and not the
doctor would have been sum-
mOned.
In g0rging to win the bet, Bill
showed more sense than the
man who takes chance with
bootleg liquor.

THE BONUS

There is room for honest Diff
ference of opinion over the
soldiers bonus matter.
= There are those who believe
that the men who served the
country in the world war should
be given some substantial recOg-
milton of their services by a
grateful country, while there
are others who believe that a
mans first duty is to his cOun-
try, and that none of those who
did not suffer by reason of
wounds or disease or accident
while in the line of duty should
be paid anything more than
they have already received. All
the people are agreed that the
country cannot do too much for
those who were disabled while in
the service.
But whatever ones views
may be, all of us agree that if
congress passes a bonus bill ii
should be because the members
of congress honestly think il
should be passed and not
through hope of gaining votes
or fear of losing them.
A bonus given under such
circumstances would be worse
than no bonus at all. A bonus
given Under such circumstances
will be resented by those who
receive it.
The congressman who re-
Spects himself or his position
will not consider or 1ScusS the
political effect of his vote, but
rather the business of the prop.
sitiOn before him. And the eX.
service men will be pretty hare
to fool in the matter.
