he remarked:

can stay dazed, I ought to make

In the ice box; and this iSA town

The late Dwight w. Morrow was
a close friend OF Rogers. and this
was the tribute the actor paid him:
Morrow was the best ambassa-
dor that ever lived, for he admitted
that he wasn't one and knew Meth

It was from the daily press that
the philosopher-actor gathered
material upon which tc base his
opinions.
Twill Rogers remarks" said the
late President Wilson, ARE not
only humorous-but Illuminating"
He was a true American. There
was Indian blood in his veins.
Maybe my ancestors didn't
come ever on the Mayflower. but
they met the boat" he once de-
clared.

to chuckle in 1914 when Rogers,

With reluctance Davis admitted
that cnce when VIII was stranded in
Australia he sent money with which
to come home.
"Id rather not say much about
that" he said. Times changed later
and Will for years was the best de-
positor ! had.

I do not wish to enter newspaper
argument, I do wish to say to you.

Jour plant on a practical basis. II
your profits earned are turned into
tie treasury Of your city for the
purpose Of financing Us business.
IN this manner you must reduce
realty taxes and low realty taxes
viii attract home owners which Is
the kind Of people to seek for cit
liens.
There are few towns In the coun-
try which WI their light and water
ard make them pay all the expense
OF local government. This can only
be done by making the non-owner
pay his share Of the overhead. I
understand that the town OF Fort
Morgan, Colo, has low water ana
light rates and no realty tax An
other town. &C. Francis, Kansas.
likewise makes the light and water
finance the municipal government
ana no tax Is levied on town homes.
That's a mighty fine feature and I
see nothing wrong with charging
q reasonable. but profitable. rates.
Mr.. Walton seems to think that
lower water and light rates would
increase the population Of your
city. I believe that would have a
certain influence, OF course. ut let 8
see what kind OF people would they
be generally, loafers. etc. or men
who would build their homes ana
become permanent fixtures in the
affairs Of the community. Nothing
attracts goods citizens like good
schools and low taxes. 7 hope your
plans will bring you out right. Hold
on TO your light and water, they are
an asset.
This requires no answer and Is
net for publicity. merely TO voice a
sentiment Of approval OF the plan.
