Tobacco Company and one of the
best known merchandising and adj
vertising men in the country has or
ganized the Mainardy Rubber Com
pany and is it's President.
Thousands of Publishers and Pub

This new plan is the combined
work of experienced Rubber manu-
facturers and expert tire nerchan-
dising and advertising men.
The product is represented by sew
eral brands of tires. All are of
standard qualification and enjoy
large patronage in local fields.
The plan presents many logical
and much economies, both in manu-
featuring and distribution of tires
1t promises great savings in cost to
the consumer.
Mr.. Mainardy is doing needed
so = in line of manufactur.
ing which affects the pocket book of
nearly everybody. Much will be

BEING A MAN

If you can keep your head when all a.
bout you
Are losing theirs and blaming it to
you;
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubt
ing too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in
lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hat
ing,
And yet don't look too good nor talk
too wise;
If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat those two imposters just
the same; 4t
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken, 54
And stoop and build 'em up with
worn-out tools;
If you can walk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the
common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none
too much;
If you can fill the unforgiven minute
With sixty seconds worth of dis
lance run-
Yours is the Earth and everything
that's in it,
And-which is more-youll be a
man my son!

A POEM TO LEARN
Thanksgiving Day
By Lydia Maria Child

Over the river and through the wood
To granfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the wood
Oh, how the wind does blow!
1t stings the toes
And bites the nose,
AS over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the wood
To have first rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
cling Ealing -ling~
Hurrah for Thanksgiving day!
Over the river and through the wood
Trot fast, my dapple-gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like hunting-hound
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
Over the river and through the wood
And straight through the barn
yard gate,
We seem to go
Extremely Slow
1t is SO hard to waitl
Over the river and through the wood
Now grandnlother's cap l, spy!
Hurrah for the fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie.

NO STAMPEDE

The election did not bring out as
large popular vote as was sought,
but it impressively showed that those
who do take the trouble to go to the
polls can not be stampeded by social

have faith in the Constitution and are
not to be cajoled away from it by rad
icals who seem to offer the people
more prosperity and contentment than
they already possess. While it is
highly desirable that every qualified
voter cast ballot, the country is in
no danger so dong as our citizens con
duct themselves as they did on No

WHAT'S THE RRASONf

Less than two weeks after election
wheat rose above $3.50. The Radicals
accused Wall Street and the vicious
monopolies", during the campaign, Of
keeping up the price of wheat in order
to fool the farmer into voting the Re-
publican ticket. The Republican Par
ty having been continued in power it
would be the natural thing to do, if
this charge were true, to drop the
price of wheat back to where it was
in May. But somehow the wicked fl
nanciers have overlooked this little
item and wheat continued upward.
What reason can La Toilette and
Wheeler now give for this state of
affairs so at variance with their own

THE PROS" AND THE ICONS"
ARE HEARD

Republicans during the cam
paign voiced frequent criticism of the
Republican practice of taking testi-
mony from representatives of big in
prepared. 1t was charged that fav-
ored industries in that way dictate
the rates which are to be applied to
themselves.
Republicans have never sidestepped
that issue. The protective policy has
always been one of the cornerstones
of Republicanism Having announc-
ed their intention of extending pro-
lection where protection is needed,
sound judgment demands that ex-
pert advice be sought in order to de-
termine the relative cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad Few ma
tional legislators are specialists in
any particular line of manufacturing
affected by the tariff. They are
chosen for their general knowledge of
others when highly technical mea-
government and not as speciality ex-
perts. They must therefore turn to
sure like the tariff is being framed.
And when they seek expert advice
Republicans are not going to ask it
chiefly of foreign manufacturers. i'm
porters of foreign-mAde goods, or
Democrats welded to the idea of a
tariff Off revenue only. Those in
symathy with the policy of protec-
ton are largely depended upon for
advice as to how that protection shall
be applied. 1t is folly to seek aid
from those who are admitted enemies
of that policy. Believers in protec-
ton, expert along the lines of their
testimony, are those best qualified
to advice on tariff rates, and it is to
them that the Republicans turn.
Nevertheless, the opponents of pro-
tective rates have always had and al
ways will have fair hearing.

A VIVID ILLUSTRATION

Senator Couzens, who is reputed to
have received s33, 000,0 900 for his
share in the Ford Motor Company,
paid an income tax last year of So
676. Secretary Mellon, also wealthy
paid a tax Of $1,173,987. The dis
parity is accounted for by the fact
that the Senator's capital is invested
in tax-exempt securities, while that
of the Secretary is in productive en-
terprise, the income from which is
taxable. No criticism can attach to
Senator Couzens for keeping his mon
ey where it will bring him the high
est possible net return, regardless of
its effect on Federal revenue. But his
mall income tax is a vivid illustra-
cion of how high tax rates induce the
withdrawal of wealth from taxable en-
terprise and its investment in tax
exempt bonds. Hundreds of millions
of the country's wealth thus escape
their just share of the cost of govern
ment, thereby increasing the share
paid by persons Of modest incomes.
President Coolidge has worked un-
creasingly for reduction in surtax
rates of the point where the net in
come to the owner of sound taxable
bond will approximately the income

were included in the Melon tax plan
