URGE CUT IN TAXES

WASHINGTON, April 20. In
auguration of a campaign to pro
mote economy and efficiency in
state and local governments where
expenditures and taxes have been
increasing. while federal costs have
been going down, will be proposed
at the annual convention of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States in Washington May II to 49,,
That this national organization
should take the lead in such move
ment will be urged by various com
mercial associations which are in
cluded in the membership of the
chamber.
The indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce has submitted proposal
along this line for incorporation in
the resolutions to be adopted at
the convention. It's proposal is that

governments, taking cognizance Of

The estimate covered all smuggled

CURIOSITY AND MEMORY

TINE newspapers had lot of fur
= about fathers questionnaires,'
says Charles Edison, son of the ia
nous inventor. And they were enter
tanning. But there was good deal
more to them, as the son explains
them.
Father started them when he
found his foremen were blind to many
things happening in the shops. So he
hired young fellows to come in, watch
the work and make suggestions for
improvement in details. He found
that after week or two, they failed
to note improvements, and he had
constantly to shift them about.
$50 he decided he would work out
a QUESTIONABLE for selecting his men.
He wanted men who possessed curios-
ity coupled with good memories. That
is why he asked such questions as
What is salt? and Who is the Prince
of Wales p"
Those lists of queer questions pro-
vided Mr.. Edison with what he want
ed. He got a lot of new men into his
shops and Offices who would not only
see wrong and wasteful things and
suggest improvements the first week
Or two, but keep up the good work
indefinitely.
Curiosity and good memory-there
are two great blessings, in business
OF any other department of human
life. The man who has. and retains,
mental curiosity keeps alive and
makes progress til the day of his
death.
Provided, always, it is coupled with

There has been some talk of trying

RESPECT FOR LAW

CINCE Cain broke the law relative
~ to murder men have been endeav-
oring to disregard rules adopted fo1
the betterment of civilization. One OF
the far reaching of such laws was the
adoption of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution.
Previous to this amendment there
had been a gradual development OF
prohibition throughout the United
States. In Washington local option
had added this town to that, to the
dry side until the state voted to dc
away with liquor.
The system under which constitu-
tional amendments are adopted in
flicts the will of the majority of
states on the minority. In the Eight
zenith Amendment, states with ma
jority of voters in favor of unlimited
sale of liquor was forced into line
with dry states. This was unfortunate
in that it resulted in open rebellion
against enforcement of law.
This rebellion soon ceased to be
local and spread thruout the nation.
Seeing their local territory affected
by law, liquor men from wet states
instituted nationwide campaign to
discredit the Volstead Act with the
result many states which were poten-
tally dry have found it difficult to
maintain a condition of aridity preve-
liant under local option.
How potent this wet propaganda
has been can be shown by slight in
vestigation. Kansas is wetter than
before national prohibition and states
recently gone dry-such as Washing
t0n-have resumed a condition of
wetness approximating saloon days.
Bootlegging has become a thriving
profession. Methods of liquor vend-
ing have penetrated into song and no
vaudeville act is complete without
reference to the common use of home
distilled beverages Or the easy posi-
bility of acquiring the same.
The cure for. this undoubtedly lies
in time. While there is some tendency
for the rising generation to think it
clever to carry a flask, as general
rule, boys and girls are growing up
much cleaner without the saloon as
the street itself where the saloon
flourished.
Poisonous liquor is gradually ac-
counting for those who cannot do
without their libations and the boot
logger will finally be looked upon not
as boon to thirsty mankind, but as
a dispenser of disease and sudden
death.

WHEN BUSINESS is DULL

Az
a the largest clothing manufactur-
ers in the country recently said:
Gas I am in sales promotion work,
of course l have good deal to do
along advertising lines. 1 am finding
out more every day that small town
merchants are learning that the So
called off-seasons are the times to
advertise, instead of only when bust
ness is good. Time was when mer-
chants allowed their advertising and
other sales promotion talk to lag in
summer months or any time that
business was dull But they are be-
ginning to learn that it is the mis-
sion Sof advertising to create sales,
and for that reason it is most valu-
able when business is dull Go after
the business when it seems slack;
don't wait for it to come to you
That is the theme of the big, sue
cessful business men, and it should
be the policy Of the small town bust
ness man who really is afforded a
better opportunity to make an ap-
pealing and personal sales talk thru
his newspaper than the city merchant.
It's worth trying, and if you give the
plan half a chance your cash register
will ring lots oftener in the dull per-
iods' than if you don't advertise be-

Members of the medical profession
know that from one-quarter to one
half of the casual illness is prevent
able, and that 100000 persons con
stantly ill, is all out of line with ne

the span of life and reduce the vast
amount of preventable illness and
premature death is certainly worth
while and the carrying out of such
plan is the purpose of the Gorgas
