Reforming 2 Fool.

As matter of brutal fact, the best
way to reform a fool is to rob him
until he is compelled to do better, in
order to live. Pamper a fool, and tell
him he Is imposed on, and he will con-
tinue In his folly. Strip him and he
will adopt more sensible ways, as a
matter Of necessity.-E. w. Howe's

WANTS LEGISLATORS ON
GOVERNORS TAX COMMISSION

Now that this extraordinary
session of the legislature has
been called to enact tax
reform measure, we had as we'll
view the whole situation as it
really is rather than as we would
like to have it.
The Governor appears to be
without any definite tax policy.
If he has one, he failed to sub
nit it to the legislature at its
regular session. He has pro-
claimed to the world and speci-
tically to the legislature that he
is in favor. of "tax reform"
but that is as far as ne has gone.
In this he is like the fellow
who didn't know where he, was
going, but was ION the way"
The announced purpose of the
Governor to appoint a commits
sion to formulate a tax reform
measure to be submitted to the
legislature sounds good and may
work out all right, but unless
members of the legislature are
placed on that commission who
not only really want tax reform,
but can lead in putting the
measure through, nothing will
be accomplished and the Gov
ernor will find himself still
floundering.-Albany Herald

$4,000 A YEAR
FOR SMILES,

There was a stenographer work
ing in one of our organizations
during the war. Office help was
scarce-particularly stenographers.
We were paying fairly competent
girls $500 per week. There was
one young woman on the force who
was thoroughly capable and she re-
ceived but $25. The reason for
this was she was so cantankerous
no one wanted her around. AS
much as we needed help the office
manager didn't care whether she
stayed or not.
One day he called her into my
office. "You are an extravagant
young woman. You must have an
Independent income"
She looked puzzled. 81 don't I'M
derstand."
"Of course you don't" he re-
piled, "else you wouldn't do it.
You are paying ten dollars per
week for something you don't want
and nobody else wants. You real
ize that we are paying you twenty
five dollars per week while other
girls are getting thirty-five dollars.
Do you know why?"
mo" She was regarding him in
tently.
Because" he replied brutally,
"you are so disagreable around this
office that We are not willing to
take you except at a discount.
She did not flicker an eyelash
but continued to gaze at him with
steady interrogation.
"You are humoring a character
trait that is costing you ten dol
lars a week $500 per year $4,000
per decade. Personally I do not
see how you can afford it. 1t
looks to me like rank extravaganza"
A look that mighgt have resembl-
ed quizzical amusement flashed
over her features. She was silent
for a moment as she looked
thoughtfully out the window. Then
she said frankly and with the most
amiable expression I had seen her
wear-"I had never thought of it
that way. l have realized that I
was perhaps a little-er-difficult
s6metimes. But l did not realize
! it was costing me so much money"

PRIcE-FIXING
THE CONSUMER.

One of the most pernicious and
audacious attempts ever made to
squeeze further pennies from the
already hard pressed consumed is
the move to induce Congress to
pass law permitting manufac-
turers to arbitrarily fix the retail
price at which their goods may be
sold and to compel retailers to
maintain these prices. There have
been raw deals attempted before,
but this caps the climax.
Such practice would create
nothing less than a vicious trust
composed of the manufacturer, and
the retailer, with the manufacture
er in autocratic command. Such
law would make the highest tariff
look like low hurdle. The pres
ent proposed law would give the
manufacturer absolute freedom to
name any price he saw fit and
compel the retailer to adhere to
this price.
II the manufacturer were given
this unrestricted power he could
be expected to name the highest
price for his commodity at which
the retailer could possibly sell it.
If this vicious price fixing law
should ever become effective, the
next logical step would be to per-
NIT the producers of sugar, flour,
and other necessities of life, to fix
their retail selling prices and these
prices would soar. 1t would make
legal the greatest hold-up game
that ever swindled "a long-suffer-
ing public.
A wise old adage says, "Competi-
tion is the life of trade" This
proposed price fixing law is a step
toward eliminating competition.
1t should be stepped on, and step
ped on hard. The price fxers would
entirely eliminate the influence of
competition in reducing prices or
in holding prices down. They
would permit manufacturers to in
flate prices and force retailers to
observe them. They would misuse
the great power of the Congress

THE ONE SURE WAY OF
BEATING THE SHARPER.

There is one sure way to beat
the sharper and only one sure way.
That is to keep your money out of
ils nands-keep 1t in banks.
During the first half of the
month of June, 1928, seventeen
thourand investors lost a total of
thirty-nine million dollars at the
hands of three get-rich-quick con-
Germs. Since the war three bill
Ion dollars have ben lost by the
investor of the United States
through the Vaccinations of bucket
shops and stoei swindlers. Think
OF three billion dollars-three
thousand times a million dollars.
/. always makes my heart ache
to see hard earned savings swept
away. An average man or woman
finds it difficult to work to save a
hundred dollars. 1t takes most per-
sons a lifetime to accumulate a
nest egg sufficient to protect them
when the rainy day comes and to
stand off the wolf when they are
stiffened with age or weakened
with disease.
The most contemplate species
of mankind is the sharper who
schemes to deprive these people of
the money for which they have
pinched and shaved, If the sharper,
wore his soul as he does his clothes
he would have po chance at
swindling anybody because his
pernicious personality would be dis
cernible bat he comes in tailor
ed suit, with a suave tongue and
a winning smile. he will deceive
most people who do not understand
the rottenpess Of the principles on
which he NRsOqarGss inyestment
When & man approaches you
with proposition that promises
you rich returns on your money
he is branding himself as one of
two things-he is either faker or
he is anN ignoramus, because no
sure investment will promise rich
returns. Anything that brings over
eight per cent can be viewed with
suspicion and the higher the per-
centage promised the greater
should be the suspicion.

Now the doors of education
Once again are opened wide
And the children of the nation
Troop unwillingly inside;
Are they not quite pleased and happy
Where there's knowledge to be got?
Well, to put it short and snappy,
They are not
Do they not=discover glamor
In the things their schoolbooks teach?
Do they not, IN learning grammar,
Sense the magic of our speech?
Do they not with eager yearning
Hurry to the destined spot
Where the lamp of wisdom's burning?
They do not.
Now vacations silly capers
Have been finished, put away,
Do they not find books and papers
More enthralling every day?
Do they not begin perceiving
Just how lucky is their lot
To be studying, achieving?
They do not.
With unwilling feet they're trudging
Back again to enter school,
Which to most of them is drudging
Underneath tyrant's rule.
1t takes many years to tame them
And to show them what is what.
Do I blame them?
