SOME FACTS
CONCERNING TAXES

Those who have the say about the
expenditure of tax moneys FREE
quently speaks Of the wastefulness
of armies and navies. They wish,
as does every one else, that such
might be diverted to serve other
purposes.
But as rule they have very
little to say about our standing
army of tax collectors and spenders
which is more than five times the
size of our army and navy combin-
ed. In this connection the recent
report of the taxation committee of
the Michigan Bankers Association
is particularly interesting.
The committee asserts that, in the
past fifteen years, more than l.
100000 laws have been passed in
the country to control the lives and
business activities of our people,
and that one individual in twelve
of our population is supported by
the taXpaying public in one way or
another. In the state of Michigan,
SO per cent of the wealth newly
created every year goes to pay for
government-state, local or nation
al.
The United States government
pays salaries to 100000 civilians
and the several states have more
than twice that number on their
payrolls. Add their families and
dependents and you will understand
the surprising totals and the cost
of our governmental housekeeping.
Is it any wonder that tax-free Sc
curities are popular, and that so
many supposedly upright citizens
are to be suspected of forgetfuI-
ness in the matter of their tax re-
turn?

u. S. FIRE LOSSES
THE GROWING GIANT.

1t would seem from the ever-in-
creasing fire losses in the United
States that the adult portion of our
population is congenitally careless
IN its handling of fire hazards and
reprehensibility Indifferent to the
economic waste by burning.
Since it is difficult, or impos-
sible, to teach an old dog new
tricks it has been recognized by
educators that in order to stem the
tide of destruction by fire, the
younger generation must be brought
to realize thLJ me lneineration of
material Wu4ICh at the rate of ST.
429,75o day represents national
danger, and must be taught the
rudlments of fire prevention so as
to wage successful battle against
the flames.
There has consequently been
growing movement for fire preven-
ton education in the schools, and
eleven states have already placed
upon their statute books measures
calling for such instruction. Only
fifteen minutes week are devot-
ed to the subject, but it is held
that even in this space of time
much good may be accomplished.
In order to meet the demand for
standard work of instruction, the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, with the assistance of the U. S.
Bureau of Education, has published
manual known as Safeguarding
the Home Aginst Fire" and this is
the basis of stduy in practically all
Of the states.
There can be no doubt that the
teaching of fire prevention in the
schools will cause the coming gen
Grafton to become fire conscious in
the proper sense. The economic
benefits of such a constructive
movement can scarcely be over
estimated.

WATCH THE BIRTH AND
DEATH RATE STATISTICS

Western Europe's population in
creased 6 millions between 1910
and 1920, despite its loss of about
20 million lives in connection with
the war and Spanish influenza.
This fact, announced by mortality
statisticians, shows that nature al
ready has more than restored Eu-
rope to normal in the matter of its
most important loss-human life.
This, of course, will not become
wildly noticeable until the babies
and young children of the present
grow to manhood and womanhood.
Right now there is a decided short
age of grown men cover there"
France checks up and finds that
last year it had 759,846 births,
against &c., deaths. This was a
population gain of close to 1000
with the birth and death rate al
most identically the same as they
were in 1913.
But Frances population is
increasing so slowly that her mill
tary heads are worried.
They have not forgotten that in
the so years before the World War,
Germanys population nearly doub-
led while Frances showed very lit
increase.
Frances nightmare is the German
Cradle.
In the early days of the war,
France began to have more deaths
than births. Austria found itself in
the same fix in 1915, Belgium in
1916, Germany in 1917 and italy in
1918.
The only important European
warning country that did not fall
victim to diminishing population
during the war was England. II
had more births than deaths all
through the war, though the sur.
plus Of births over deaths dropped
from $4,000 in 1913 to as low a.

TARIFF LEAGUES
ENDORSEMENT FATAL.

One incident in connection with
the recent Senatorial election in
Minnesota illustrates the failure of
the ancient Republican arguments in
behalf of the tariff and shows the
difficulty of deceiving the farmer
regarding the effect of protection"
on his budget.
The American Protective Tariff
League applauded the nomination
of Governor Preus as the Republi-
can Senatorial candidate and
through its organ, the American
3 Economist, commended him to the
good wishes and suffrage of all true
stand-patters.
The American Economist publish
ed an editorial declaring that the
best way to contribute toward fair
prices for grain and other farm
products was to "elect Governor
Preps to the United States Senate"
The editorial pronounced Governor
Preus probably the most popular
man in public life in Minnesota, {"
and reminded its readers that he
was. the nominee of the Republi-
can party, "the only party that has
ever legisiated in favor Of fair
prices for wheat and other farm
products"
1t looked like good Republican
propaganda, this "boost" froom the
organization that represents the
Special Interest for which the Ford
ney-McCumber law was enacted.
But it don't impress even Governor
Preus, He disavowed the Republi-
can masterpiece Of tariff legislation,
blamed it for much Of the distress
among farmers, and said he had
learned that low tariff is better
for the peoplesof the Northwest"
1t didn't mislead the voters of
Minnesota, either. They rejected
Governor Preus, even after he had
disowned his partys tariff. Instead
they gave their votes and the Of
flee of Senator to man who rep
udiated the national administration
and all its work, including the
FOrdney- McCumber law.

ADVENTURES

We marvel at adventures of old
Who braved the dangers of an unknown world;
VINO sailed IN cockleshels where tempests swrled
Fearless in face of perils manifold
We marvel, now, at dauntless men and bold
Who race with death. who climb the arching skies.
Or slash through jungles whence dread fevers rise
"Ah, these we cry, care of heroic mold"
Yet during every moment we draw breath
Some dauntless woman bears her agony;
Descending to the very gates of DEATH
That some human life may come to be-

Are greatest of adventures on earth!
