For their protection business men }
must discount part of the appar-1
ent prosperity.
Cities and Btates are turning out
tax exempt bonds by the thousands
of millions. Very rich men will
buy all the taxpayers will allow
printed.
Fifteen thousand millions is the
present total of these tax free
bonds. As fast as they get it,
states and cities spend the money
on the usual extravagant, grafting
basis that goes with public con-
tracts. Labor is employed, mate-
rials are bought, artificial appear-
ance of prosperity is created, a
heavy load of interest and future
taxes is piled up for city people
and farmers to pay. Seven hun-
dred and fifty millions a year at
least is the interest on these se-
curities already issued.
Men with big fortunes will col-
lect that interest, paying not a cent
of tax to the government on it.
Little people everywhere will bo
taxed to pay it. By and by the out
put of reckless bond issues will
cease, but the interest will con-
tinue. A few very rich men will
hold tax free heavy mortgages on
cities and states throughout the na-
tion for years to come.
The country is running in debt
like a drunk or crazy man to oblige
tax dodgers and pile up woe for the
taxpayers. It's a firstclass joke on
the little people. They will have to
pay government cost that the big
men dodge, and pay for the bonds
as well.
The nation should end all stupid
tax exemption on billions of securi-
ties. That will be done if we ever
get a really radical vote.
Presiednt Harding has protested
against the tax dodging, but he has
not done anything and can't do any-
thing. 'lhe tax dodgers do not own
him, but they own his particular
government.

Both pay "regular' $16 dividends.
Do you suggest government reg-

Why, that would be socialism. True,
government did regulate the price
of wheat, preventing profiteering
by farmers. But farmers and oil
companies are different.

United States by the women s |
clubs. The movement was started
originally by the Alliance of Worn-
eu's Clubs of Brooklyn, N. Y.
They maintain that the parents
have not the inherent right to pun-
ish their children by spauking.
They are already very active in
prohibiting corporal punishment in
schools.
The list of reasons as to why
corporal puuishment should be
abolished is ais follows, according
to Mrs. H. C. Talbot Perkins, presi- |
dent of the Alliance of Women's
Tubs of Brooklyn:
1. Because corporal punishment
is briftal, a relic of the dark ages,
entirely out of harmony with hu-
manitarian principles.
Because it makes children
worse, not better.
3. Because it injures a child
morally by developing deceit. Pear
of whippings will destroy frank-
ness and lead children to lie.
Because beating involves dan-
ger of injuring a child's health.
Because whipping is t sign
of perversion in the Individual who
inflicts it.
ti. Because it is contrary to all
the true instincts of parenthood.
Even animals do not punish their
young by physical brutality.
How Movement Started.

The cases of Mike Donnelly, Bob
Parinun and Warren Moore, city
commissioners, before Judge Q. W.

should not be cited for contempt of
court in connection with an injunc-
tion secured from Mayor J. c. Wal-
ton, against their interfering with
tion of the police department,
j were taken under advisement Sat-
| urday.
j Judge Clark set no date on which
1 a decision would bo made. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the other
commissioners had a right to assist
in the management or the city po-
lice department, but that they had
no right to meddle.
Testimony was Introduced to
show that of the mayor s $;$27,123
budget for the fiscal year $154,474
had been spent. Mike Donnelly
made out the budget which was
presented to the board of commis-
sioners and adopted.

plains flint the sum was Inade-

Moore admitted on the stand that I
he knew nothing of the operation |
of a city police department.
The question as to the legality of |
a transfer of funds from one de-
partment to another was debated.
Walton declared that when he was I
commissioner of public works, and I
Byron Shear, attorney for Parman f
and Moore in the pay roll row, was |
municipal counselor, the practice
of fund transfers was common.
Following continuance of the case I
in which certain employes of the
city asked a writ of mandamus
against the mayor and certain other
city officials to compel payment of
wages due them, Friday afternoon, I
the court took up the contempt pro- |
eeedlngs against Mike Donnelly,
Warren E. Moore, Bob Parman, city
commissioners.

cials dates back to November 12, I

It seems that men are hired as
substitutes to serve terms in jail
when sensitive men with money are
convicted. The authorities are agi-
tated, but it's an old deal. Men hire
substitutes in their bar examina-
tions, civil service and other exam-
inations. That is very common, a
regular business in New York.
It was once the thing to hire a
substitute in war. One distin-
guished American did that and later
was secretary of war. The nation's
taxes are paid by silly little substi-
tutes, the big men dodging.
It took the power of Astor mil-
lions to get the London Times away
from Lord Rothermere, Northcliffe's
brother. "The Astor millions" start
out as millions usually do to man-
age a newspaper. There is to be "a
board of distinguished men" to
manage the paper, etc., etc. What
a paper needs is not any board of
distinguished men, but one man
that knows something about the
people, something about those that
systematically exploit them, a man
willing to work for those that read
his newspapers, willing to be a
newspaper man and not anything
A newspaper is a single body, like
the body you live in. It wants one
singly brain to manage it, not half
a dozen.
One man can drive four horses.
Four men never could drive one

To teacliers, commissioners of
education, etc.: Teach history with
moving pictures.
When a little boy is compelled to
learn about Pocahontas and Cap-'
tain Smith, and the name of Poca-
hontas's father, Powhatan, it all
means sorrow and interest unawak-
ened. Show it in moving pictures,
with the names and short explana-
tions on the film, and it will stay
in the child's mind, whether it be
Lincoln in his cabin, Napoleon at
Lodi. Queen Dido on the beach, or
