A FULLY ADULT NATION

The United States has definitely
grown up. The swaddling clothes
stage of its existence is forever past.
Not SO very long ago we were the

remark that it might amount to

PIRACY AND PEACE

1t took centuries to rid the seas OF
piracy and hundreds of years of ac-
cumulating sentiment to condemn it,
was the gist of startling paragraph
recently read. This was published
In one of the popular magazines, de-
serving its adjective, popular" be-
cause it reacts promptly to the mood
of the public. And one of the reas-
surfing things as to the success of the
multilateral treaties and a better adj
justment of naval limitations is the
continuous appearance OF articles in
magazines side by side with scientific
articles, in some; or articles on
fashions, housekeeping and care OF
children in others which are, OF
course. in response to the tremen-
dous interest of the public in these
questions and the almost universal
desire for the accomplishment OF
some means OF setting aside war and
its horrors.
The press is filled with accounts
of Mr.. Kellogg's movements and
the signing of the treaties, outlaw
ing war, in Paris. News, says that 9
tentative agreement has been reach
ed between Great Britain and France
as to naval limitations. This agree
ment may open the way to a general
accord which will be satisfactory to
the United States. Details of this
agreement are not vet published but
it is said that France has abandoned
the stand which she took at the
Washington Conference when she
insisted that the figures taken into
consideration should be those OF
total tonnage and not SO many ships
of each class. But France has now,
according to this advance news,
agreed to a limitation of vessels ac-
cording to class.
France, in insisting on total ton
mage, had in her mind her subma-
rines. Great Britain, depending on
other countries for food, feared the
possibility of enemy submarines in
her surrounding waters. hence the
contention which has lasted for
years.
In return for Frances yielding on
this point, Great Britain is reported
to have agreed that trained reserv-
lists shall not be included in the list
of Frances land ornaments.
This Anglo-French accord is now

view will promote the success OF q
future International naval limitation
conference.

cy to peace; but war upon the sea is
now suffering sea change.

TAX REFORM BEGINS AT HOME


Clearly the solution of our own
local tax problem is local." said the
Wall Street Journal recently. New
England is already beginning to per.
ceive that imposing heavy tax bur
dens ON the textile industry is nc
way to secure employment, profits
and prosperity. The farmer in the
West is carrying much heavier
burden in taxes than freight rates
ever imposed. 1t was his own poll
ticians who imposed the taxes aftei
they had fooled him into believing
that somebody else would pay them
Here is another case where reform
begins at home.
This is subject which requires
much more discussion than it has
ever received. Our local tax burden
is more than twice as heavy as that
imposed for Federal purposes and ii
is growing worse at the rate OF
$1,000, 100000 a year."
Various ways of bringing about a
reform have been suggested. Many
of them are valuable and practical.
such as more explicit and standard
ed budget laws. But the difficulties
in the main are unsolved and the tax
burden imposed by local units OF
government continues to soar sky
ward.
The tax situation must be consid-
cred one of the most important
problems of the times. II the rsas-
on is the obvious one-that politics
has deserted business methodist is

into government before the expense
reaches such dimensions that it per-
manently damages our prosperity.

cost $6,948.59 to fight the fires in
the spring. he added.
Although SIS fires were reported,
the area destroyed was not so great
as in 1926, when $40 forest fires
burned over 62,763 acres.
ut is not believed that the fire
hazard was as serious this year as in
1926" Mr.. Besley said. The size
of the average fire for the spring
season was 81 acres, as against an
average of Is acres in the spring OF
1927, and an average of 123 acres
in 1926.
"a study of the fire statistics re-
veals that the record in 1928, while
far from approaching the ideal,
shows satisfactory progress over
other serious fire seasons Nineteen
hundred and twenty-seven was an
exceptional year and the record can
not be compared with 1928. Ii sim
liar improvement can be shown year
ly in fire-fighting practice, the size of
the average fire will be shortly re-
duced to satisfactory figure.
1.-THE record shows no diminution
in the number of fires from year to
year; in fact, fires seem to increase
steadily. The figures point toward
need of great prevention effort on
the part of all members of the or
ganization.
1.-THE 528 fires of this spring were
started through the carelessness and
ignorance of as many people. Let
US try to spread fire prevention
thought and reduce the number OF
fires during the coming year. AIDE
Quate protection cannot result when
this large number of fires occurs in
this short period.
"The wardens are to be congratu-
lated on the speed which they have
shown during the spring and on
their determination, which prevent
ed bad breakoyers. There were few
secondary fires % spot the record
and many examples of splendid
work against heavy Odds" =

roo MANY BARGAIN SALES

One of our contemporaries makes
the following remarks about bargain
sales, and there is world OF truth
in what is said:
"a strange situation has arisen
today in the business field, a condi-
ton which no doubt will remedy it.
self as time goes on, but which at
feast is deserving of consideration by
those who supervise our business &C
tivities.
1.-THE situation alluded to is what
is termed by some the Bargain Sale
Era from which we are suffering.
The "we'' includes both the retailer
and the buying public. Regardless
of how good a thing may be, too
much of it may prove injurious. A
genuine bargain sale benefits both
the retailer and the purchaser. The
purchaser saves on what he buys.
while the retailer RECEIVERS his in
vestment, with perhaps some profit,
from goods which otherwise might
represent a total loss. But too
many so-called bargain sales will in
the end undermine and destroy
sound, legitimate business.
1T sounds like lots OF business,
even for the newspapers, but let us
see the effect it has on the public:
People hesitate to buy anything at
all when they feel sure that within a
few weeks there'll be a bargain
SALE on, when the same articles will
be offered for 15 to 20 per cent less.
Those who do unthoughtedly make a
purchase and few days later see 1t
advertised at 25 per cent less, re-
solve Is walt, next time"
sThis has been going on long
enough that we are approaching the
point where majority of the public
waits for a bargain sale before
buying. Business concerns are fac
ed with the proposition of either
staging.a continuous bargain sale
or doing no business. 1t isn't a
very bright outlook"
