everything we use and the high cost
of government is reflected in the
constantly increasing cost of living.
The tax question is not political
issue. 1t is business problem. The
solution does not lie in the adoption
of new and untried theories Of gov
eminent. Neither political quackery,
demogogic utterances nor group or
class legislation will reduce the tax
burden. The adoption, application
and use of business methods in the
conduct of every department and di-

INSECT PESTS NUMEROUS.
Undesirable Immigrants Not All in
Human Class,

Not all undesirable immigrants are
human beings. The most innocent
looking foreign plant or fruit may
bring with it disease or insect pest
happily unknown to this country.
The gy psy moth, boil weevil and
Japanese beetle are few of the for
eign trouble makers that have landed
on our shores in past year, and their
descendants still cost our farmers
millions of dollars in money and
trouble.
Since plant quarantine laws have
been put into effect, immigration Off
cials Of the Department OF Agricul-
ture keep unceasing watch at the
ports Of entry and along the borders
Of the United States. They have
found avocados-which may not be
imported from Mexico or Central
America-concealed in the center OF
loaves Of bread. And they have de-
tected the dangerous pink bollworm
among the cotton seed specimens OF
a traveller from Brazil. Frederic J..

PAGEANT OF LINCOLN
STIRS WIDE INTEREST

Intense interest has been shown in
territory surrounding Saltwater in
the forthcoming Pageant of Abra-
ham Lincoln" which will be shown
four nights, starting June II. Pro-
vision is being made to care for auto
mobile parties from radius of so
miles or more.
Many have tried to explain the
charm and lure of this vast American
epic. Some one has said that it de-
rives its power from the fact that it
is made up of matter that is close to
the heart Of every American. 1t is
as if some of the most intensely
dramatic chapters of American his
tory were unfolding before the spec
tator, with the heroic figure of
Lincoln ever in the foreground.
There are hundreds of actors and
there is action all the time. The vast
drama moves along with steady
sweep, like wide and deep river.
There are times when quick action
occurs, of course, as when Lincoln
and his volunteers fight the Indians
in the Black Hawk war, or when
Blossom rides nadly away to save
the life of her soldier lover:
The Minneapolis Journal said:
ut was run off like clockwork. Not
a minute was lost. There were no
waits. There is nothing slow or
formal about this pageant. From tine
moment the battery of searchlights
began picking out stages now mere,
now there, on the great field there
was action; punch might be a better
word"
When the pageant was given at
Bridgeport, ILL.,, last season it had to
be repeated fourth night to ac-
commodate the crowds. The Fridge
port Leader said that the audiences
were amazed at the vastnes5 cf the
spectacle and the ever changing pic
lures"
The production is being given by
the Auditorium management fer the
benefit of the auditorium civic center
project.
