Observing Economy

Governor Richardson, of California, is another
executive TO notify his people that the state must
live within lis Income and he will not lend ell.
couragementt TO new taxation projects for the pur-
pose of swelling the treasury receipts. The two
cent tax on gasoline was accepted so pleasantly
ians to swell il another penny or two is well-nigh
irresistible. 1t is admitted that good and valu-
able use of an increase could be made on the
highways of the state. But Governor Richardson
declines to be a party to fresh adventures in tax
alton. He has some of the Coolidge virus in his
veins and believes that the practice of official
thrift is possible-even in a state that is burst
ing with progress. Many efforts are made to
undermine the position of the governor and to
discount his demands for economy, but it is be-
lieved that he will survive the tests and impress
good citizens with his sincerity.

More Common Sense

President Coolidge holds out no cure-all to
farmers. His remedy is work and intelligence APP
piled to their business. 1t is another spoonful of
common sense from a source noted for an unus-
ual supply of that same article. The president
says:
More than anything else we need a genera
most of all leadership that will not desert the
farmer. There is a school of co-operators who
seem to believe that the program can be started
at the top and built downward. They want the
government or the bank or philanthropists or
moving, guarantee capital and then invite the
farmers to garner their profits. 1 offer no such
Aladdin-like project. 1 want society as n whole
to help; but | want the farmers to do their share
and | warn them that this will be the lions

What He Thinks

Brigadier General Lord Thomson, late secre-
tary Of the air forces of Great Britain, in the
labor cabinet who is in this country says: at
is sheer moral cowardice to blink at the fact
and it should be advertised and people should
understand, that the next war will not be that

chaInel house under the aerial attack of poison
asphyxiating and incinerating gases, with the
inhabitants fleeing to the outskirts of the city,
only to die as the gases from the bombardment
took effect. In future wars we will have to give
the civilians gas masks and train them in the
use of them"

Why Import Culture

An American woman OF great
wealth has recently founded an In
stitute OF Music in Philadelphia,
which as instructors has secured
eminent aliens, French. italian.
German, Polish. New York and
Chicago at great expense support
grand opera sung for the most part
by foreigners and in foreign Ian
guages. Persons OF wealth responsi-
BILE for the Institution acquire civic
merit for their deed.
Meantime. the legitimate stage
languishes. And in place of the fine
oid-time acting Of great drama our
people throng TO sensational produc-
lions. The great tradition OF the
English and American stage dwin-
dies. threatens to lapse. Blu. Amer
lean money is not endowing any
theatre. not In sumptuous fashion.
II is not founding any schools for
acting, as would give us a theatrical
art such as the French and Germans
have.
Our Puritan prejudice against the
theater still operates. no doubt. But
persons who would shrink from
endowing a theater will pay out a
fortune to plant here a foreign art
that would make Anglo-Saxon drama
blush. The convention that music
is spiritual. no matter how lascivious
its theme. while the drama is a
thing of the devil. still holds. despite
its manifest %absurdity.
There is fashion in art as IN
everything. Foreign music has been
the fashion In art amongst us for
a generation now. In the middle
of the last century the fashionable
art was Shakespeare and the ciher
better dramatists. To pretend that
we today get as much out of foreign
opera as our grandparents did out
of dramas whose language they TN.

it is not our Italian or German
horn citizens who support foreign
music, but u WI Americans. The
knowledge of this time exceeds that

Climate and Taxes

The people of the two states of the union which
are the greatset rivals in climate and use it most
IN propaganda to attract tourists and induce
wealthy settlers, are Numerically opposed to
each other in methods employed. California sees
to it through constitutional amendment and stat.
utes thst no temporary or permanent resident es
capeF : line of plain and ornamental taxation
1roA ID moment he crosses the state line. He is
greeted by the collector with hat in hand when
he arrives, and is followed to the border on his
departure.
On the other hand the people of Florida take
the other view. By constitutional amendment
lately voted, income and inheritance taxes are
prohlblted. Florida has also frowned on all other
forms of taxation, like gasoline tax, and nui.
sanee taxes, such as have caught the fancy of
taxing authorities in other states to their de
triment.
In other words, Florida has recognized that one
. very effective way to influence people of wealth
is to make the state attractive to the pocket
books of such people. This was the most effec-
tive propaganda put out by the antitax people
and it was this propaganda that gave the anti.
tax amendment a six to one majority.
The state was wise when it set out on its cam
palgn TO attract people of wealth by assuring
them that they can establish their residence in
the certainty that the state viii not attempt to
charge them for the privilege in the form of in.
come or inheritance taxes.
In return for this consideration Florida knows
that she will get her revenue from these peo.
pie in a legitimate way. They will invest their
Huney III te purchase OF land and the building
Of homes, and the promotion of industrial and
commercial enterprises, all of which will mean
more employment in the state and resultant
prosperity.
Itpis needless to add that Florida is getting the
business and California is bawling her head off.
The taxation question has taken firm hold upon
the people in every walk of life. They are worn.
out and run ragged everywhere by taxes. They
want relief. They want something to show for
their efforts for themselves. Taxes are becom.
ing more and more unpopular.

and California, the people of the former had the
wisdom to scale down the taxes and the latter

Grant missed his wife very much at
this time and frequently expressed a
desire to resign from the army and
live with his family, which some time
later he did. After the potato failure,
Grant and his business associate
bought all the chickens for 20 miles
around and chartered a vessel to ship
them to market in San Francisco The
ship returned with the news that the
chickens had died on the way, how
ever thus dealing second blow to
Grants fortunes.
When Grant was ordered to report
for duty at Humboldt, Calf, he gave
Mrs Sheffield his cook book, his
feather pillows and some trinkets.
During Grants stay of one year
at Fort Vancouver he had not made
an enemy and gained the friendship
and good will of everybody, Mrs.
Sheffield wrote. HE was indeed one
of natures noblemen."
