Where Taxes Go.

While it is the intent of the
series of on Tax Money Squandered
to call attention to leaks Of incom-
potency and graft and point out
remedies to check these alone are
responsible for high taxes. We
will have higher taxes than we had
twenty or ten years ago even when
every dollar of tax money is hon
estly spent.
We predicted that the war would
affect our mode Of living. All the
overseas men learned the value of
good, hardsurfaced roads. They
will never be content again to plow
thru the mud on public highways.
In addition to that is the increased
use OF the automobile by rural
people. Its use is dependent upon
roads that never fail. We cannot
have hard roads without paying for
them.
The selective draft showed that
out OF 2,4oO, 900 of our young men,
one third could not read or write in
any language. 1t so aroused us in
regard to public education that we
have been demanding better schools
schools that would attract the
boys and girls. Never before has
there been such a building of
school houses, better than ever be-
fore. Districts seem to vie with
one another to see which can put
up the most elaborate school build-
ings. In this respect we have
overdone good thing. We have
built foolishly, not wisely. There
are many school buildings in towns
and cities far more elaborate in
$Sh'l uStioh tLdI lnG students Will
find in the wealthiest colleges and
universities. Some OF the consolid-
ated schools Of the rural dis
trlcts are for too elaborate in cost
ct construction or were built when
cost was abnormally high. Such
schools become burden to the tax
payers.
These are local affairs, voted for
by the people who later complain
OF high taxes. Those who com
plain would not want to surrender
the good roads, the good schools,
the various things that governments
do for them which they used to do
for themselves or used to go with
out. So do not blame anybody.
We could reduce taxes by setting
civilization back fifty years. But
who wants to do thata Nobody
Successful Farming.

Kay Firm Succeeds IN Goal.
to Build Artistically; Five
Dwellings Completed

Keeping their promise Of building
homes that are different in conven.
fence and arrangements from
those Of other builders. the firm
Of Kay-SchnIder- Kay Company has
succeeded In erecting dwellings with
seven rooms. including a completely
inclosed. plastered and papered
sleeping porch, at moderate price.
without sacrificing essentials in con.
struction or material.
As additional features to the ex.
ira room, these homes contain a
tiled bath room, with a built.in tub,
as well as buiIt-in bath fixtures,
and white enamel metal recessed
medicine cabinet.
The kitchen contains q metal
cabinet Of liberal size, in addition
to & large, one.plece. porcelain
enamel apron sink, equipped with
q swinging double faucet spout,
soap dish, on adjustable legs and
concealed hangers.
The gas range is high grade, IN
keeping with the general equip.
ment.
Following this exclusive scheme
OF house artistry, the ordinary metal
door knobs have been replaced with
glass knobs.
The electrical fixtures have been
selected to harmonic with the other
features.
The arrangement of the rooms Is
such as Is usually found only In
higher priced homes.
This Is the initial operation Of
Kay chnider- Kay Co. Several OF
these homes having been bought.
one by a real estate operator, be.
fore the roofs were on. II seems
likely that the homes and their ap.
pointments win satisfy the most
discriminating buyer.
These dwellings are expected to
set new standard for homes for
person Of moderate means.
This operation consists of over
twenty homes, five OF which are
about completed. eleven of which
are in course of construction, and
the balance to be started In the
very near future.

In Washington, in New York,

interesting phases of home-making
at present is the systematic, one
might almost say professional,
reconstruction and modernization
Of old homes. It is not only
a salyaging process of much
economic value, but it is also an
absorbing and educative enterprise,
and is having no little civic value

and an assembly of pioneer citizens
who came to do her honor, Mrs.

ed of her ascent on the ladder of life
A birthday cake studded with sixty

tacle, and what with short, interest
ing speeches, delightful music and re-
ferences to beautiful "reminiscences in
the life of the honored guest, the

THE BLACK CHIEF
(5y Rev. w. E. Harris)

(By Rev. w. E. Harris)
He Is man, a great one, roo,
The man of New Orleans,
Whom Harding told to take the rein
And duties for Uncle Sam collect.
His name before the senate came
During the late Presidents regime,
To be chief DER white and black
In the Crescent City of the South.
Behind closed doors the Senate said,
This thing will never do
We can't afford to put him there,
He is colored man.
Our President is wrong, said they,
To do a thing like this;
The South is white, not black, he
knows,
And white is white, and white must
rule.
With great defiance they turned Cohen
down
To appease the whims of Bourbon Big
Otry
Twas not because he did not know,
Twas simply because of race and skin.
Our press and pulpit did speak out;
AS citizens we did protest-Our Presi-
dent heard,
And did stand firm against all rabble
cries
The Senate's verdict did not change
The views of him. although he's gone
While yet alive he said to Cohen,
You are the boss mt New Orleans
'Tis in my power to make you chief,
Although your name has been held upy
That l will do against all ODDS,
And hell from it cannot move me-
Prevaricate, did he? O, no,
He stood his ground until the last,
Til cruel fate came her way
And took him from this earthly
sphere.
But in his stead another rose,
His policies to carry out,
\ scion of the East is he,
A blessing to the human race
He loves the right and hates the wrong
To one and all he has announced
That justice must and shall prevail
Within the bounds of this great laad.
This country in his hands is safe
Because the law he will enforce;
| The Constitution he does respect
And by it stands like Gibraltar's rock
Who is this of whom we speak?
| So firm, so brave, so true, so just
| Coolidge, Coolidge. Calvin Coolidge,
| The President of L. s. A.
| The other day, like Harding, he
| Sent in the name of Cohen, too,
| Before the Senate to be confirmed
! Comptroller of the New Orleans port.
! The solons as before refused
To listen to the nations car,
And thus once more did wrong tri-
umph
Where justice should have held full
sway.
| But their rejection, what of it?
Is Cohen chief? o yes, tbs true,
| He's chief because the President
| Would not send in another name
| This action of the nations head
| Did change some Solons' minds,
The seventeenth day of March they
met,
And by one vote gave Cohen his job.
Now that he's chief, let us rejoice
| Who liberty doth love,
| Give God the praise in everything,
A miracle surely has been wrought
