DOCWOOD APPEAL
IS SMADE BY EDITOR
P. S. Ridsdale IndorSes The
Stars Campaign in Preser-
vation Plea on Radio.

Calling on the people to leave the
dale. editor of Nature Magazine,
urged his WCAP radio audience last
night to give heed TO The Evening
Stars campaign to save this wood
land beauty.
Nature Magazine is conducting n
national outdoor good manners cam
paign." said Mr.. Ridsdale today.
THE Star does a great service every
year when it calls on the people to
SPARE this wonderful bloom. 1t is a
disgraceful sight to see auto parties
returning from the country carrying
thousa nds of these blooms that fade
so quickly. Trees are stripped and
broken beyond human understanding.
Newspapers throughout the land
are cooperating with Nature Maga-
zine in it's campaign for outdoor good
manners.
Ibid you ever find your favorite
nook defiled with the refuse from the
last picnic. flowers torn up and per-
haps a campfire still smolderlng?
Why work for the preservation of nat
ural scenery? Why urge the creation
Of parks when often the use of such
privileges suggests that a little shade
and a trough might more fittingly be
provided?
"Dwellers along the great highways,
especially in the scenic portions of
the country or near the centers OF
population, find conditions increas-
ingly intolerabie. 1t is not alone
tourists and campers. but even many
respected citizens. old and young. of
almost any community who seem to
suppose that enjoying the freedom of
the open means throwing aside all
decent regard for the rights and prop
erty of others. All outdoors is the
prey of lighr-hearted vandals, who
break down dogwood branches and
strip the roadsides Of every lovely
b'cssoming h thing. The American peo-
pie only need to have the acts of SOME
called to their attention by such good
work as that of The Evening Star.

increased $75,O0000O; those of the Midwest indus
trial States $60OOO,o00 Of the more largely indus
trialized Southern States $40,000000.
There were exceptions, however, to this general
rule Massachusetts and New England New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Eastern homes of American indus
try show slight increases or at all. Industry
is drifting West and South.
AS to what persons paying the taxes, that is
another question. The new law cut 100000 persons
from the tax rolls-those making $500 or less a
year. 1t cut the income taxes Of few score wealthy
persons and corporations virtually in half. 1t af
fected the entire last half Of the 1926 fiscal year.
Yet in income taxes alone the year as whole
showed $211,OOO,OO0 gain over 1925.
There are two or three possible answers and
the correct one probably is combination of all.
The man who makes from $4,000 to $4,000 had his
taxes cut very slightly, in comparison to the ex-
tremely wealthy He probably paid as much or
more this year last.
Then there were hundreds of large corporations
which had been piling away their immense profits
in surplus instead of distributing them, thereby
avoiding all except the fiat surplus tax of 12s
per cent Distribution of these SURPRISES doubtless
followed the tax cut.
And lastly, some persons made so much money
this last year that in spite of the tax cuts they
actually paying more taxes. Are you one of these?

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
: BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON =

A certain woman is worried because the men
lfirt with her
She says that she is harassed by their stares in
elevators, in stores and upon street corners She
finds life a trial because of the pursuing males
I don't know how you feel, but always take com
plants like this with a large grain of salt. / have
known too many women who thought and hopS6 that
every who glanced in their direction falling
in love with them and too many who believed
themselves regular ladykilers to get much hustered
over this condition of mind.
My observation has been that if you pay no
attention to the men, they won't worry you very
much. Haven't you known who fairly strutted
through life over the fanoya~that they fasci-
mating the fair SEX who in all their existence had
never had woman really them except their
mothers?
Such persons are filled with enormous sefcon-
sciousness They go through the world interested
and think of no one themselves. These persons
both pitiful examples Of what the human
mind can imagine
Women like this find it hard to go down the
street without getting nsuted They can't step out
side their own front doors without being martyred
by the glances of the violent male They read
double meaning into every remark made to them by
a,
And how they do love all this. They count that
day whose low descending question
able masculine action directed at them.
This street corner Irritation is of the things
that seems quite foolish worry about For if
a man does wink his eye pertly at you, throw
chances your silken legs, this is
why you should go off into floods of tears Such things
cannot injure you nor your reputation one little bit.
However, If you are the sort of woman at whom
men seem to be forever casting bold eyes the thing
do Isl to take stock of yourself and find out in
what manner of dress behavior you are inviting
such attentions.
If your mind is clean no man can insult you.

THE RIGHT WAY

uqo formation of a citizens committee to inves-
tigate the facts underlying the street car strihe
should be welcomed by every citizen OF Indianapolis
The fact that the strike welcome sdcn
a committee is not to be overlooked
1t should suggest to the heads of the street car
company that an attitude of refusal would 90 mucn
to prejudice public opinion.
This CITY wants and demands efficient service on
its street lines
The men who went upon strike gave that sort
of service or they would not have been able TO nold
their iobs.\
The character Of the work they perform is I'M
portant Upon their experience and fitness depends
the safety of every man, woman and child VINO
rides the cars and of every person who walks the
streets.
There is even more than the matter of mere
safety. There is the question of courteous service
and prompt service.
No one who rides those desires to do SO at
the expense of men who may be underpald ana IN
able to live up to decent American standards
The men who give such service are certainly en-
titled to enough money to enable them to live decent
ly and to keep their families in decency.
That is the chief point of inquiry. For, after
all the thing which sent these 500 men on strike
was a desire for more wages and protest against
the scale of 81 to AZ cents an hour.
NThe one thing which caused them to band to-
gether was "a demand for more money and better
wages.
The committee which has been formed is OF
character which will command public confidence IN
any report it may make.
The men upon it outstanding citizens who
will be trusted by not only all employees of The
company but by the men and women who pay the
bills and ride the cars.
1t is fortunate that such group has been
brought together to get the facts and to present them
to the public.
For the public, after all, settles all these Dues
lions which deal with public utilities.
That same public desires to be just and fair and
decent Now it will find out what must be done in
order that they may be just that.
Let it be hoped that arrogant or arbitrary
attitude in any quarter will interfere with full
and complete inquiry into all the facts. s
Let reason, not the force Of bolshevism or cos
sacksm dictate just settlement

TAX CUTS AND TAXES
