Why He Was In Wrong,

It was at the club. Busy business men always manage to drop in to the club, and when they are at the club they always manage to gossip about somebody, Baker was reading the evening paper when Horton sank in- 10 the seat at hls side. In little gusts the conversation played about the character of other members of the club.
 Now this fellow Barnhart," said Baker, Ines a queer proposition" "What's queer about him?" asked Horton. "He never got on my nerves"
 9 T know" said Baker, but yet somehow he always seems to be get ting in wrong with people," That's strange" replied Horton, "I never hear him make any wise cracks"
 No, he doesn't" said Baker, But he's always making bad breaks!"

RACK TO SKOOLL

(With a Bow 10 Felix Feist, Jr)
 A education is a grate thing to have in case you are ever called on 10 make a speech wen you grow up, and the only way 10 get education is to keep rite on going back to skool after every vacation no matter wat your personal feelings may be.
 The ferst few days after vacation are very exciting finding out if your new teetcher is eny good and who all is in your class, and after that you have pritty neer whole yeer 10 think about next vacation.
 Fellows would probably appriciate a education more if they had to pay for it insted of getting it free and forced on them at the same time but on the other hand if you asked them to pay for going to skool they would feel so insulted they would probably all run away from home.

ADVICE TO ASSESSORS: SPARE THE TRINKETS

The board of assessors, having been relieved by the Legislature from filling some of their more or less oncrous and timc-consuminG duties of the past, such as swearing in lists of automobiles and real es- tate, this year threaten 10 give more attention 10 other phases of tho law.
 Beginning on October 1 they will begin their annual pilgrimage throughout the city, and calculate 10 add considerably 10 the total of personal property heretofore un- taxed because it was regarded as more convenient 10 let the small fish alone while catching the big fel- lows.

REGULATION IS NOT NATIONAIIZATION

John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, has taken John Hays Hammond, chairman of the |. S. coal commission of 1923, to task for suggesting the federal regulation and oversight of the coal industry, claiming that 1t should not be overlooked, in view of NJ. Hammond's statements, that the first intimation favoring nationaliza ton of the mines since the anthra- cite coal strike started came from Mir. Hammond. and not from the miners.
 If Mir, Lewis mistakes regulation for naturalization, that Is his blunder. We can scarcely under stand how man of his intelligence could make 1t, .
 The railroads are being regulated by the government through the h. terstate Commerce Commission, but that does not mean the railroads are nationalized. If the I. C. C. like wise regulated the mine industry the latter would be as far from being nationalized as the railroads are.

ing the ordinary citizen on hli household belongings and such other trinkets of living as he may have about the premises may be all right in theory, but in practice nothing Is quite as unpopular and more likely to lead to political irri- tatlon. To enforce the slate law to the letter would amount to a se- rious raise in taxes. The poor man may be perfectly willing to pay a tax on \ fiivver. but when 1t comes 10 taxing everything indoors from the family photograph to the baby's toys, howl of anger is fully justified. The assessors had better watch their step and not get too snoopy when on their rounds. Tn fact, they ought to be compelled to be blindtolded.
 It Is noticeable from the list of taxables that radio receiving sets are not specifically mentioned; per- haps they come under the designa- ton of "other musical instru- ments." But whether they ought to be included under this heading Is a matter Of opinion. No court has yet determined whether static comes under the head of music.
 It is also learned from glimpsing over the list that home brewing sets are not included. These pos sibly may come under the heading of farming tools, private libraries or furniture.

RAIL MERGERS BECOME
 A MAJOR ISSUE

President Coolidge having taken firm stand favoring rail mergers by compulsion if voluntary merg CTS are not taken this hitherto quiescent subject can be regarded as certain to figure in the debates of the next Congress, and it may be a major issue in the next politi- cal campaign.
 Most of the railroads have been included in tentative mergers. but no striking action in that direction was taken by any of them until the Nickel Plate merger and tHe pro- posed Delaware &, huuson new trunk line developed to arouse the railroad world. But. so far as the railroad interests are concerned, there has been no unanimous agree ment as 10 which roads to combine, Indeed, there is a strong undercur- rent manifest in financial circles that the major railroad manage ments are too inclined to view the subject from a selfish standpoint to insure voluntary consultations in the interest of the public,
 The presidential idea is to force consultations that will spread out the railroad systems over sufficient territory to enable rate adjustments that would not starve some rail roads and enrich others.
 It is the custom, when readjust- ing rates, to make up for a lower ing of rates on one product by an increase on another. Under present conditions one railroad may be hauling a large proportion of the product on which there is a reduc- ton, while another may be trans porting a large slice of the product increased.
 II is the desire of the adminis- traitor to reduce the rates upon western farm products, 10 meet the demand for lower rates in the west on these products. and at the same t m Q to soidify the political strength of the administration. But at this very moment the receivers and others connected with the St. Paul railroad are propagandizing the country with stories of the need for higher rates on farm products on this railroad Most of the prod ucts hauled over the st. Paul con- sist of grains. and higher rates would pull the road out of its re ceivership. In other words, just at a time when the administration is cndeaN bring 10 help the farmer and incidentally prevent the radi- cal political element from regaining headway-by reducing grain rates, along comes the St. Paul and wants a substantial increase.
 But ir the St, Paul railroad were consolidated with either the Penn sylyania. the New York Central, the Baltimore & Ohio or the Nickel Plate - the four trunk lines" from the eastern seaboard to Chi cago - rates could be readjusted and what was lost in one section would be gained in the other.
 That is the theory underlying the Coolidge plan. Of course, the inter- ests dealing in products the rates of which are raised under such a plan would not like it and such as may think they will suffer under the plan will oppose 1t forthwith. Such opposition may be quickly manifest in New England But # probably will be found that the President has weighed the pros and cons In advance; he probably

PLANNING TO WORK
FLORIDA SHORT ROUTE
THE DISTRICT HIGHWAY EN-
GINEER CONFERS WITH THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Matters are taking shape for the
improvement of the Florida Short
Route highway from Dawson to Co.
lumbus. The Short Route from Daw-
son south into Florida is already in
good condition.
At their session Tuesday the coun-
ty commissioners unanimously adopt
ed a resolution requesting state and
federal aid in the construction of that
link in the highway from Dawson to
the Webster county line, and there is
no question that an allotment will be
made to the project by the state high
way commission as soon as funds are
available Mr. B. A. Alderman, the
district highway engineer, was pres
ent at the meeting Wednesday, and
pledged the commissioners his full CO.
operation. 1t will be necessary to
straighten the highway in some places
between Dawson and Parrot. and as
citizens of the county are noted for
their enterprise and progressive spirit
it is not apprehended that any trouble
will be encountered from land owners
when the securing of the right of way
is undertaken.
1t is proposed to have meeting of
representatives from all the counties
interested at an early date in Dawson
or some other central place at which
Hon. John N. Holder, chairman of the
state highway commission, will be
present and go into the matter fully,
explaining in detail just how much
state and federal aid will be given
each county and how much it will
cost each to construct its part OF the
highway. Mr. Holder is in thorough
sympathy with the movement to i'm,
prove the Short Route, and has stated
that he would be glad to attend
meeting for that purpose.
1t is possible that plans can be made
for paving at least part OF the high
way. =,
Prohibition won't be success until
bootleggers are failures.
