THE BLUE PENCIL MARK

AS an effective and inexpensive
means of calling to a subscribers at
tention that his paper is in arrears
the Herald places a blue circle
around the name tag where such a
condition exists.
During the past week the response
has been excellent but we still find a
few who through oversight or neglect
have neglected to either remit or call
at the Office.
We find, from experience, it is easy
to collect paper bill where the
amount needed is around 81 to put
the subscriber in good standing.
Where the amount runs above ye' !.
it becomes harder and harder to COL
lect. Therefore, we expect to very
shortly stop all papers more than a
year due.
Trusting. however, that with all
honest subscribers the last step will
be unnecessary, we again ask you to
give the matter your prompt atten-
ton. Thank you.

REVIEW BOARD
SWINGS AK ON
HIGH VALUA TONS

The board of tax review for Ian
caster city met Monday and adjourn
ed after a days deliberations until
Thursday, July 5, at 10 a. N.
Three requests for revision were
acted upon Monday. Henry Zenz re-
ceived a cut on his 75-acre place near
the cemetery from $14,500 to $12,625.
Curtis Totman's cottage near the
Evangelical church was cut from ST.
700 to $4,000. The canning company
asked for and received a cut. Their
1885 acres was dropped from $4,000
to $22,7O0.
Now is the time for any taxpayer
to make kick and if he has valid
grievance it will receive attention.
The tax books are open SO that any
person can readily find out what his
assessment is. Then if he wants to
he can appear before the board of re-
view Thursday and state his case.
If you have "a holler coming

paying time and then abuse the city

The Pendulum i'm School Affairs
MAY Swing too Far the other Way.

A disinterested observer at the
school meeting Monday night might
gather that forces favoring economy
regardless of school welfare were in
the saddle.
The main idea of those favorlng
prudence and conservatism il school
expenditures has been to prove in
needs and meet them according to the
districts power to pay rather than to
swing the ak mercilessly upon every
proposed investment.
We do not want to see the radical
visionary in a position to bankrupt
US nor do we wish to give control to
the man who is "agin" everything
simply because it costs money. AS in
everything a happy medium is the
aim desired.
1t is time for the great body OF
fair minded liberals to assert them
selves. These, we believe, comprise
the bulk of the people of this district.
Let us have a school program that IS
progressive, sound, possible Of reall-
z3tion and in accordance with Jn9
power of the average taxpayer to
meet.

We Play at Democracy.

In republic where we are SO far
removed from the days Of the De-
claration OF independence that we
cannot remember its aphori8ms, we
still pretend Democracy. We make
no serious attempt at working it out.
We think of this when we see the
struggles between capital and labor,
between black and white, between
Jew and Gentle, between Protestant
and Catholic, all the ancient enmities
of race, conditions and religion.
Jesus, a great democrat, said: :"
give you a new commandment; that
ye love one another" Upon thess
words hang all the law and all the
prophets. Without them nothing else
aVaiIs.
Democracy, the square deal, equal
ity before the law, give and take, all
are summed up by the philosophy Of
Jesus Until the world learns this
lesson wars and strife will continue.

Is a Stream of Immigrants
Iniuring American Life?

Is constant stream OF the bottom
strata of European life injurious to
American ideals, culture, and homo
gepeity?
without a question Of a doubt it IS.
The other day eleven ocean liners
landed 10000 aliens at Ellis island.
They came from % nations.
Probably so percent OF these imnl-
grants are grossly illiterate accord
ing to our standards. 20 percent, per-
haps, will be credit and help to US.
Happily for us the settlement OF
the farms in this country came half
a century ago when British German
and Scandinavian immigration was at
it's height. This is called 'Nordic"
blood Mixed with the Nordic was
some central European, south Ger
man, Swiss, ETC., known as alpine"
stock Both bloods have been in
valuable to the United States. They
Immediately went to work clearing
the land and putting it to the ploW.
Forests were removed and replaced
by tillable land. Swamps were drain
ed and made to produce. Arid re-
gionS were cleared of sagebrush and
soapweed and brought to blossom
with life-giving plants. The debt we
owe these stocks is incalculable. but
we have repaid it by giving them
prosperity such as they never could
have dreamed of, much less attained
in their former homes.
Now the immigrant goes into in
dustry. There he is needed too.
Some one must mine the coal, slaugh-
ter the meat, melt the metals and
build railroads. The American born,
having brains for something more
profitable and less killing, will not do
this hard, dirty and dangerous work.
So we import immigrants.
Unfortunately, however, the nature
of conditions under which the indus
triaIIy used immigrant must live do
not lend themselves toward assimila-
ton and eventual citizenship. Homo
geneity is impossible of attainment.
Instead we have a thousand little
Italics, little Slovakias, little Tur-
keys, and so on.
It is difficult to reconcile the actual
demands of industrial development
the retention of our culture and ideal
ism. If we allow our industry to flag
we face decadence If we put indus
try first and Americanism last we fall
into another furrow.
The only solution, as we see 1t, IS
A deeper interest in the newcomer
and a great humanity toward his fu-
tire here This is nothing more than
enlightened selfishness. 1t we do not
do this he will drag us down to his
level.

NEW PROPRIETOR
OLD ABRAMS FARM

consideration being $31,000 1t is
said that Mr. Lindner will divide the

on the north half. The new farm will
be devoted to dairying, while the
homestead will be continued as q
general grain and stock farm. 1t is
said also that Mr. Lindner plans to
move here, but this last is probably

A tame, but rather humorous school
meeting Monday night resulted in the
passage Of the 1924 budget without
dissent and the election of three new
board members.
Geo. Tuffley succeeds F. j. Clan
vile as clerk for three years.
Albert Wiedenbeck from the first
ward and Frank BidweIl, North town,
succeed Mrs. Addie Austin and Mrs.
Lambert Groenier as board members
for two years.
A resolution empowering the board
to charge nonresident pupils tuition
where such pupils tuition was not be-
ing paid by some other municipality,
passed easily. The student must pay
each semester in advance the amount
to be fixed by the board.

purchase for $1,000, of the Howell
lots, 150x200 feet, south of the North
school, lost viva voce. 1t lost again
