essential, insures the moral develop
ment of childhood when properly
managed. All this implies an added
tax burden, but when analysed it Is
obvious that the cost in taxation i
Indifferent when compared to the yisi-
bic returns that accrue to the com
munity through such Improvements.
Property taxes in the cities Of Ur-
bana and Champaign are more than
double in comparison with a few
years ago, yet this increased taxa
ton is only an evidence that the actual
exchange value Of property is greatly
increased. 4 man who invested $4,000
in a property ten years ago is now
able to sell the same property, if kept
up to the standard at which he pur-
chased it, at twice the amount. Ten
years ago he was fortunate to be
able to rent his property at $40 a
month. Now he has no trouble to rent
it at $50 a month. The figures do not
lie. His taxes are advanced approx
mately from $50 to $120, but his rem
tai has increased from $3.50 to $500.
Counting that the present cost OF
maintaining his property has doubled
within that period he is still far ahead
of his financial status ten years ago.
Obviously this man has no reason to
complain of increased taxes. He
should, without objection, be required
to pay more taxes, while the man who
occupies his own residence, and has no
visible return except the privilege OF
living in an improved community,
should be taxed less in proportion.
This is a point of equity that has been
overlooked, probably for lack of prop
err legislation.
The law of the ancient Hebrew re-
luired that one-tenth of a mans re-
turns from his property, or from his
labor, be turned over to the govern
ment for the maintenance of his state
and religious privileges. Whether
the law was ever properly enforced is
question that history does not an
swer. In all probability the wealthy
classes were not required to conform
to the schedule.
This has always been the supreme
defect in taxation. The rich have not
been expected to pay taxes in proper
ton to those of moderate means, UNI
til the recent income tax, which is
likely to be repealed because of the
innumerable complaints that eminate
from the class who has been affected.
Undoubtedly there should be re-
form in the method of taxation, but
the supreme difficulty arises when
legislators, who are interested in de
creasing their own taxes, cannot come
to an agreement which would imply
equity for all.

CARELE SSNESS.

The Dead Letter office ir
Washington stands as a test
imonial of the common hu-
man failing-carelessness.
If everyone were careful in
addressing mail, there would
be little need for this branch
of the postoffice department,
More than two hundred
million pieces of mail matter
pass annually through the
postoffice improperly or care
lessly addressed, and seven
teen million of these ulti-
mately go to the Dead Letter
office.
If there is such a loss in the
postofhce department through
carelessness, it is difficult to
imagine what vast sums can
be charged up against this be-
setting sin of practically every
individual.
Material loss through care
lessness might be estimated,
but what irreparable loss
which affects the destiny Of
lives and souls2
The careless deed or word
that costs a life or causes hu-
man wreekage on the sea Of
life would probably have been
left undone or unsaid, if they
had been given more thought.
Addressing mail carelessly
or illegibly is bad enough,
but infinitely worse is the
careless act or words that lead
to tragic results.

FIRE OF ALCOHOLISM
STARTED BY BEER

Arthur Ostrander, writing
in the Detroit News, says;
The size of the fire has
nothing to do with the start
ing condition, as fires all
start slowly and increase as
they are fed. The fire of
alcoholism is started in the
same way, from easy begin
nings such as beer and light
wines. A glass of beer and
light wine, accompanied by
the words of moderate
drinker that There is no
harm in a glass OF beer or
wine is the match, oil and
kindling wood that starts the
FIRE of alcoholism that only a
miracle will stop short of tt e
drunkard 5 grave.
Why do the bootleggers
want beer to be exempted
Because beer is their bait for
trapping the young and mex
perinced. and SO they can get
lifelong customers out OF
our boys and girls, and you,
moderate drinker, are helping
them when you say that there
is no harm in glass of beer
or light wine
