THE BIGGEST DOG WAS ONCE A PUP
ability is Merely Trained Talent
(Dr. Roy L. Smith)

Talent, in it's crude state, has very
little market value. 1t is like ore that has
not gone through the smelter. It needs re-
timing. And the refining process, by the
way, is often an extremely painful, ted
ious and expensive one.
The most skillful surgeon in America
was once blunderbuss. He knew nothing
of incissions, draining of wounds, blood
clothing anaesthetics, heart action, anti
septics, etc. All this he had to learn. He
may have learned it easily and quickly be-
cause of his interest and enthusiasm, but
he did not acquire his skill by any mir
acle.
The greatest architect now living had
to learn to draw straight lines and graceful
curves. 1t was necessary for him to master
the intricacies of tensility, proportion SYM
metry and design. His skill and imagina-
ton may be almost uncanny by this time,
but it was not always SO.
Walter Johnson, the greatest pitcher
of them all, threw lot of wild ones before
he established that remarkable control
Babe Ruth struck out a good many times
before he began hitting home runs. Christy
Matthewson, one of the greatest stars of
baseballdom spent months at time pitch
ing to the neighbor boys, getting the mus
cles of his arm subordinated to his will.
There was time when Paderewski
knew nothing about music, when James
Montgomery Flagg was totally ignorant of
color value, when Galli-Curci could not
Garry tune" when Henry Ford could not
borrow a dollar and when Rudyard Kipl-
ing didn't know his A B C's.
Brisbanes first editorials were not paid
for at one hundred thousand dollars year.
Mark Twain's first book did not produce
fifty thousand dollars in royalties. Fran
co.'s Millett painted pictures for years be-
fore he attracted any wide attention.
Even the man who is born great finds
it necessary to work hard or his greatness
deserts him.
Nature has no favorites, besides the
industrious.

TAXES AND THE FUTURE

TAXES AND THE FUTURE
Estate Auditor Ray P. Chase)
~ THROUGHOUT the country taxpayers
organizations are being formed, some city
L wide, country wide, state wide and at least
one nation wide in scope. In Minnesota We have
several, a splendid organization at Duluth, a
large and notably effective one in Minneapolis.
AS practical method of providing and applying
the third remedy, we submit to you the plan as
demonstrated by Taxpayers Association of Min
neapolis and as basis for your deliberations, COM
mend to you their platform enunciated in their
declaration of purpose:
ITO reduce taxes.
ITO keep the public bonded debt within bonds.
ITO stop wasteful and unnecessary expend-
itures of public funds"
The life of America lies all ahead To our
ancestors who developed this country and gave
us the opportunities which we now enjoy we can
pay our deft of gratitude best by the forethought
we give to the welfare of posterity. Back in
the days Of the Civil War, Governor Ramsey said
to the Legislators of that day:
LET it be not forgotten that the children
who eat bread are to be our judges, they
will rise up in places occupied by US, and re-
quire of you and me an account of our stewart
ship"
We owe duty to the children of today and
we are not performing that duty when we per-
nit state and local tax rates to climb to point
beyond the public's ability to pay, driving farm
ers from our farms, factories from cur cities and
thus denying to the next generation the oppor-
tunities in life which fathers sought for us.
We owe duty to generations yet unborn.
And we are not performing that duty when we
pile on baby shoulders a mass of interest bear
ing debt to acquire luxuries which we can not
afford, which we haven't paid for. but which we
have not denied ourselves. Here lies the primary
purpose Of this discussion; that in the movement
for tax reduction this generation plan to pay it's
bills itself and leave to our descendants finer,
more welcome heritage than that of debt.

Julius Jacobs of the Dawson Sentinel says
"Our idea Of universal vegetable is the cab
bage head that imagines he has monopoly on
all the righteousness in the world and sees
nothing but the weaknesses and failings Of his
neighbor." Somebody had certainly rubbed
julius the wrong way-bet in that frame of mind
he could give mighty graphic demonstration Of
a universal language" too.
