THE POWER OF ORGANIZATION
In fast growing cities the advance is not usually attained
without some very active organization and initiative. The citizens
of huch pluces have not Eat down and waited for progress to come
to them. People are constantly moving about, and the choice
where they shall settle is often determined by some little thing.
The reputation that a certain place is a "live town" is one of the
most influential motives in shaping people's decisions. A man
likes to work better In such a place, he feels his chances are better
ot succeeding there. The modern chambers of commerce and
boards of trade have had a great deal to do with the advance of
fast growing cities. The results are that they are far broader
than appears on the surface. They get certain direct gains of
course through their effort to secure new industries, organize
progressive movements, secure co-operation among business men,
udd new facilities, etc. But over and beyond this is the sentiment
and reputation' created when a city has a group of active people
working for all forms of business and civic advance. A place
with a hustling chamber of commerce or board of trade almost
always becomes known as a wide awake place. Its activities gel
into the newspapers, its many lines of influence reach out into the
surrounding country and impress themselves on people who visit
the place or hear it talked about. A group of active people work
ing in a good civic organization can do a great deal to spread the
reputation of a community, and they create a widespread ini-
picssion that the place is a hustling one that U bound to go ahead
When a place gets that reputation, it will grow of
mentum. '

Something more than a year ago

when It became known that she wai
no more than ' an artful decoy invit

have no nntlence with such deceit,

Volstead act. One of these Is

Execution of prisoners in the state of Nevada by the use of
lethal gas instead of by hnnging or electrocution has been ap
proved by tlio supreme court of the state and th's method of in
flicting the death pennlty now becomes established in the Sage
Brush stale. Tho controversy which has laged over this method
of executing prisoners, doubtless, will go on. It is inevitable that
it will, for some contend that electrocution on a date known to
the condemned is far more humane than the introduction of
lethal gas into his cell at some time when he least expects it.
Whatever tho arguments, however, it cannot bo denied that the
legislature of Nevada has shown a commendable desire to mini
mize the horrors of the death penalty. To many death by lethal
fas is more barbarous than death by other means in use in states
vhere capital punishment is practiced. However, that may be
Nevada lawmakers Lave shown an effort to find the most pain
less death. Oppo.siti m to the new law might be overcome by
making death by gas optional with the condemned.

The newspaper of today, an eminent college professor said
in the course of a recent sjicech, is a better product than the news
liiKr of a few years ugo, and the business of making them is
settling down to a strong and substantial basis. Radio, he added,
will never rival tho news sheet because "it requires its patrons to
adapt themselves to its time, instead of adapting itself to their
time." lu the past decade, the American newspaper institution
of the fireside has made remarkable strides toward perfection.
The volume of news matter transmitted daily over the telegraph
wires would have staggered the imagination of the average editor
uf a decade ago. Yet today a news story high in the thousands
if words occasions no comment other than reference to ils bare
news value. In all departments it has become standardized, a
potent instrument in the furtherance of Americanism.

GRAVE A.NH IfKIJC'ATK
The governor and legislature
were elected to effect two reforms,
via: . , ,
(1) Economy In public adminis
tration.
(2)' Tat equalisation.
There can be retrenchment the
only real economy without change
of the present lax laws, nui i
eleap I hut the legislature does
know where to begin and it is aiso
clear that the governor will not
point out any openings except In
minor details. The facts which are
being discovered by both the gov
ernor and the legislature are that
the only way to run the state for
less money Is to do without some
things. What things Nobody has
yet said. In tones loud enough for
the governor or the legislature, to
hear or to heed.
Hut there can and will be an at
tempt at tax equalization. It will
take the form of a state income tax,
probably. A state Income tax which
means merely more revenue Is not
desirable nor tolerable; and It will i
have no other result nnless1 It is
safeguarded In the most careful
and exact way.
A Btato Income tax Is an experi
ment a grave and delicate one.
The ostensible design Is to open up
hidden resources of revenue. If it
will do It. all right; but if It merely
requires those who are heavily tax
ed to pay more taxes all wrong.
The mischief it will do will be Ir
reparable. The legislatu-e will do well to
approach the problem dispassion
ately and conservatively. It should
know precisely what It Is doing.
