All this demands a large public
fund which is obtainable only through
taxation. Only those who think in
terms of manhood, womanhood, civil
cation, and opportunity will have a
vision sufficiently broad to apprehend
the present day needs. Those who
think in terms of dollars and cents
will have little care for the moral and
intellectual development of human
life and will object to a tax that does
not mean larger profits.
The development of intellectual and
moral life through public funds OBJ
tanned by taxation is a thing of COM
paratively recent origin. Public
schools only recently gave place to
private or UNCONVENTIONAL institutions.
Public Fairgrounds and parks as well
as community buildings designed to
be utilized purely for rest, recreation
and entertainment are products of
twentieth century civilization. Twen-
ty years ago parks were kept for
scenery. keep Off the grass" was an
imperative order with blue-coat to
enforce it. Times HAYES changed, but
some people without vision have not
changed

So it is with all public improve
ments. There is a background for the
necessity of improving the public
school system. When a nation i'm
ports a million foreigners a year foi
score Of years it must Americanize
their children. Unfortunately there
is no private system whereby this may
be accomplished. Churches are tied
by UNCONVENTIONAL lines and can offer
but little relief. Philanthropy will go
long way, but its power is too linn
tied, and is confined to classes.
With the progress of civilization the
social responsibility for the care OF
children becomes a paramount issue
If immortality and delinquency are to
be eliminated something will have
to be done in a social way for chill
dren.
Thoughtful parents have come to
the conclusion that children's play
may be made a means of moral edu.
cation to those who are lacking in
proper parental training, as well as
those who are reared in the first fam
lilies of a community. Consequently
they are interested in a program OF
supervised play. They are anxious
for children to have an opportunity
for culture in moral ideals, so that
delinquency will be reduced to a
minimum.

Taxes and death are necessary evils
Neither apparently can be indefinitely
avoided, probably for the reason that
no administration has yet solved the
problem of running a government
without taxes and no scientist has
fathomed the mystery of death.
1t is a question whether the human
race would be profted if both were
eliminated from the category Of bur
dens that Cypress humanity. Prob
ably not, for both cause men to think
and prepare.
Taxes may be diminished if voters
are willing to pay the price, which of
course implies that society must be
willing to dispense with the conven-
fences that are provided by improve
ments, such as public schools, con-
crete roads, court houses and the
maintenance of public offices, armies,
postal services, etc, as well as the
proper administration of government.
Civilized people, however, are not
willing to make this sacrifice. They
are more willing to add to the burden
of taxation by developing such pub
lie benefits as they now have, and to
continue to maintain them on a higher
plane of efficiency.
Taxes do not make people richer.
They merely signify that society is
richer in pubic benefits. There may
be periods When taxes are loweted
for the sake of experience; but such
periods are brief. The general trend
is upward. Champaign county need
never look forward to a general de-
crease in taxes. The progress of
civilization will not permit it. The
preservation of life will soon demand
that subways be constructed at all
intersections where streets and rail
ways or street car lines cross. The
increase of automobile traffic will
make such improvements imperative
and civilization will have eventually
to decide whether it will pay increased
taxes or permit large percent Of its
population to die prematurely.
Improvements must keep pace with
invention. If Champaign county had
no automobiles it would not need con-
crete roads. If farmers were not
anxious to get their grain to market
without unnecessary delay the county
might have dispensed with the $780,

OSCAR Z. CARL
STROM FOR AT
TORNEY GENERAL

A plain statement in which he says
ne will protect the peoples interests
and will not be a tool of the Traction
Monopoly.
II believe that a man ought to re
main a man in every walk of his HE
and in every position that he occupies ;
and as look back over the history OF
the last three years in Illinois, want
to add my condemnation, utter ana
absolute, of that method Of destrue-
tive political warfare which has been
carried on in this State by the present
Attorney General, his political allies
and supporting newspapers.
81 believe a man ought TO be Dig
enough to stand before his people with
something constructive to present to
them; with something honorable and
decent to promise them when he asks
for preferment at their hands, rather
than having of necessity to resort to
the condemnation of his fellowmen In
the hope that by trampling upon them
he may arise 10 some position OF adj
vantage for himself"

900 bond issue and let its farmers
hibernate for the winter as did the
pioneers. Or if merchants had beer
willing to continue on the scale OF
business as transacted in the eighties
or early nineties they would not have
favored the road bond issue. Both
farmers and merchants, however, saw
increased profits through concrete
roads; they saw an immeasurable
waste of money and time under the
old modes of travel Concrete roads
mean larger profits to merchants,
farmers, and workmen. They mean
greater opportunity for entertain
ment. They make life worth living in
the 10Th century.
