The proper man to tax would be the loafer, not the worker; idle land, not used land; inactive capital, not active capital; lack of enterprise, not enterprise. Such a tax would not be practical, but it would be a just tax. Our present taxes are based on an opposite theory. We tax thrift, action, capital, enter prise. We levy taxes in proportion to abil ity to pay, which means that the harder a man works, the more we tax him; the'more thrifty he becomes, the more we soak him; the more ef ficient he grows, the more we knock him down. If a man saves his money and buys a house, he is taxed; if he wastes his money in extravagant living, he is not taxed. None of our states encourage pro duction by the simple process of dis- couraging idleness, shiftlessness, in efficiency. The devil himelf could not do a neater job of hobbling the race.—Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, Journal. Ruth Ellen was making her first visit nlone to her aunt, who fins no children. The aunt visited the library and obtained the most modern author-, ity on child diet. The menu for the child s first evening was planned with cure, but the five-year-old refused to eat. "I'm homesick for something," she stiid. "What Is It? Mnybe we can find some here." said the solicitous aunt. "I think It's doughnuts and cof fee," replied the child.
