Who Pays the War Piper!

Just as the majority of rich men escaped great sacrifice
during the war, SO are they now escaping paying the cost Of
war. Government moves in a mysterious way its wonders to
perform.
Take the case of honest John Smith, who has spent 100000
in building his business. John gives work to so men. He pays
his village and county taxes and perhaps a personal property
tax. On his business property he pays a school tax though he
has no children. He pays his share for county road improve
ments and maintenance, but he is too busy to use the roads.
Also he pays a state and corporation tax. Then he turns around
and pays an income tax on any profit he makes and a surtax if
he makes much profit. He had a hard time keeping his business
alive while he was away at the front.
Tom Jones, who kept the home fires burning during the
war, is rowing In quite a different boat. His children go to
school. He drives his motor car along the county roads. He
enjoys the fire and police protection that John helps pay for,
and ne benefits by all local improvements. Tom invested
100000, too. But Tom was wise in his generation. He put
his money into tax exempt securities.
Tom, being successful, with quite a bank roll, often is heard
criticizing John because John does not spend another 100000
to enlarge his business, and the Washington wiseacres, our
national experts on taxation, wonder why it is that all the
John Smiths don't expand, and why all the Tom Jones decline
to go into business, and also why lots of the rich men have no
money to lend for business expansion.

PARLOR BOLSHEVIKS

We are perfectly willing to de-
nounce in unmeasured terms the
mar who manufactures the bomb,
who occupies the soap box, and who
breathes out his'anathemas against
the government. We don't seem to
understand that those characters are
the effects Of a cause and Of a con-
dition.
The colleges that teach ~collectiv-
ism, socialism, ~syndicalism, which
are all synonymous terms, are the
producers of the bomb maker and
the red mouth, soap box agitator.
Respectable people who open their
parlors to the agents Of Russia are
the creators Of the bolshevism that
Is moving In the highest circles.
There are many rich, fashionable
women In the different cities Of the
country who throw open the doors
of their palatial homes for drawing
room meetings at which there are
addresses given by designing
agents. Such women encourage law
lessness. They are laying the foun-
dations for attacks on this govern
ment. They are enemies of the gov
eminent, and their parlors are the
halls of conspiracy against right
eousness and representative govern
ment- The parlor bolsheYik is an
other name for Satan.
Some of the rich who have come
into their possessions and whose in
tellectual ability and moral stamina
and constitutional morality have not
advanced with the same degree with
which their riches have increased
are the easy prey of the enemies Of
the government who enter their par
Tors to teach the infamous doctrines
that are today menacing the whole
of land.
Awake, awake, idle rich who en-
courage the parlor bolsheYik in his
attack on u government No man,
no woman has a constitutional right
to open his or her home to one who
speaks against the principles Of our
great representative republican form
of government.
Snch mon. and women are traitors
to our system Of government.

Justice Needs a New Dress

We are prone to criticize the metropolitan press for its
sensationalism. which in the light of our peaceful lives and
environment seems strange and is abhorrent to Us. Perhaps We
are SO far rem wed from the spectacular in life that we have
come to regard actual news records as coorful imaginative
writing. We should, however, be thankful for the imagination
shown in some of the metropolitan comments on the news of the
cities, for it may serve to arouse the people to a deeper sense
of old-fashioned American justice.
Commenting on the trivial sentence given to two New
Workers who stole 100000 from their gulable customers,
Arthur Brisbane sets down the following motto: eff you want
to steal in the United States be a wholesaler: this is no place
for a retail thief"
Some persons may regard this as rabid literature. Actually,
however, 1t seeks to drive home the fact that the sooner Dame
Justice puts on toys more in keeping with the times, the less
reason will there be to worry about the spreading of unrest.
Nothing can be more helpful to the nation than sharply calling
to public attention any indication that there is one law for the
rich and another for the poor.
The public mind is rapidly reaching the boiling point. With
political leaders responsible for the appointing and electing Of
our judges, and the exhibition of justice we experience as a
result, no wonder party lines are breaking down.

STUDENTS At YALE
MAKING own KICK
Reported Adding Yeast to Unler,
mented Grape Juice

New Haven. Nov. 12.--It was learn
ed today that a number Of Yale stu
dents had recently been summoned
before the dean OF the academic dc
partment and questioned as to the
presence in their rooms of fermented
grape juice, said TO have been pur-
chased without the kick" which was
Injected by the recipients by the ad-
dition of yeast. Some time ago an
agent of a grape juice company took
orders on the campus for the juice
which was delivered after 50 long a
time that many thought his visit was
a hoax. With the grape juice, accord
ing to the students came directions
for adding the yeast. Many followed
the directions and found that tho
recipe worked all right, it is stated.
According 10 one of the students who
was called on the carpet, the deans
office in some manner obtained list
of the students to whom grape juice
was shipped. Those involved received
an invitation TO visit the dean and in
TO other questions were asked
as to their views on drinking in gen
eral. No further action has yet been
taken by the university authorities
Dean Frederick s. Jones of Yale said
tliis forenoon that the facts as report
ed were substantially correct and that
the matter would come up today be-
fore the faculty and student commit
tee on rules. A number OF the mem
bcrs Of the student discipline commit
tee arc said TO have sat in with the
dean when the students were aues-
toned. About 80 students are in.
volved in the matter, most of them
being members of the three upper
classes.

323 MILLION CUT
URGED BY MELLON
Also Comes Out Strongly Against
a Soldier Bonus

Washington. Nov. 12.-Federal lax
revision under a program applying
reductions TO the entire range OF per
sonal incomes and estimated TO cur
the nations tax bill next year ny
s323,0O0, 900 will be recommended 10
congress by Secretary Mellon.
Outlying his proposed program in
letter to Acting Chairman Green OF
the house ways and means committee,
published today, Secretary Mellon de
clared that, contingent on the non
rassage of d soldiers bonus bill. there
should be for this yeat and for the
next four or five years revenue sur
plus above ordinary budget eXpendl-
lures. including the fixed debt charges,
of something more than 0,o00,o00.
This. he said. gives a reasonable mar
gin for tax revision and reduction.
Opposes Bonus
\ soldiers bonus measure, the sec
rotary asserted, not only would post
uone tax reduction flor many years
10 come" but would mean an increase
rather than decrease in taxes. The
treasury. he said. adheres to the
theory that the country would prefer
a substantial reduction of taxation to
the increased taxes that would neces-
sarily follow from a soldiers bonus.
In the tax revision, which he sug-
gcsted he made effective next Janu-
airy 1, MIR, Mellon recommended that
taTes ON earned incomes be reduced
- Per cent and the rate of normal
% ,-re an, incomes fran, A Nor
y Per cent to 8 per cent and s per
cent, respectively. He proposed that
tho sVr'lN rates be reduced by com
m"n"in- application at $4,000 in
st'a' co. $4,000 and scaling them pro
Frc-t'. upwards to - per cent on
l---4u 81 Of 100000.
Explains Tax Plans
Proposed changes in the earned in
rome and normal tax rates would
mean loss of revenue. the secretary
estimated, of S197, 00O,O 600. the saving
TO taxpayers falling largely in the
lower income brackets The proposed
scaling down of the surtax rates, he
predicted, would in the long run. mean

WHY TAKE
LAxATIvES?
Discovery by Science Has
Replaced Them.

Pills and salts give temporary relief
from constipation only at the expense
of permanent injury, says an eminent
authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a mean as simple as Nature it
self.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because 1t
acts like this natural lubricant and
thus secures regular bowel movements
by Natures own Observation-Disclosures.
AS Nujol is not a medicine or laxa-
tive, it cannot grippe and, like pure
water, 1t is harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is used in leading hospitals.
