TWO GOVERNMENTS TREMBLING
More and more voices are heard in England denounc
ing “ peace by raiding the public treasury.” This refers
to the temporary settlement of the coal strike some
months ago by voting from the treasury a bonus to com
pensate the miners for the refusal of the owners to raise
wages.
Some people in the United States are priding them
selves that we know better. The residents of the eastern
part of the United States are enduring a coal strike now.
It lias not been avoided by any such process as keeping
tlie mines going by a government subsidy. As it is, the
cost of mine idleness is paid by the owners, the coal min
ers and the patrons who suffer for lack of coal. If the
mines were kept going by a subsidy the cost would be
paid by all the taxpayers of the United States.
In this pleasant business of flattering ourselves that
we do differently from the English, we should not forget
tlie time when we did this very thing. It was when, by the
Adaiiison law we kept the railroads going by the enact
ment of wage raises taken out of the treasuries of the
railroads and during the war a t least paid out of the
treasury of the United States. The principle, that of fix
ing of wage scales by government fiat rather than by
economic give and take, is exactly the same.
In England they are saying that the taxation system
of the United Kingdom can not enduro the burden of the
coal subsidy, whatever may be the political morals of the
provision. The burden of maintaining, from the treasury,
the difference in advantages of markets lietween British
and foreign coal, is too great. Something must break.
As it is, Great Britain and France are each facing
a crisis
iln one of a breakdow n of industry under the
cost of coal, the other a breakdown of the government
under the stress of militarism.
WATCH THE ANTI TAX AGITATION
The warning that has been raised nbout the intrigues
to alwlish the inheritance tax, should point to the danger
of various lines of propaganda regarding all taxes. »
F o r there is quite too much confusion betwoon tax
reduction and tax abolition for the benefit of special in
terests.
It should be possible to attain greater simplicity
of taxation 1n two ways. People .will learn more abont
taxes and therefore will think of them as simpler. And*
taxes will actually l>e abolished where they hurt, or be
reduced, thus removing irritations.
B at the inheritance tux ought not lie abolished. It
should lie made more equitable. And it should be levied,
if th at can be attained by either the states or the nation
hut not by both.
Under cover of urging the reduction of taxes agents

CHRISTMAS TRADE
The stores of Ashland have made every possible ef
fort, both to provide a wonderful stock of holiday and
winter goods for Christmas trade, and to provide all the
help necessary to handle tho rush and give the public
satisfaction. There is no place where the people can get
more for their money than right here.
The stoeks carried by these stores for the Christmas
season here are very much larger than they used to be.
The buyers for our stores keep in close touch with the
lines being carried elsewhere, and if an idea on a certain
style is popular, you will find it possible to satisfy it here
just as well as anywhere.
The costs of operating a store in a city like ourg
are not as great as they Are in the m etropolitan centers,
In those places expenses are boosted to a high level be
cause of the general scale of costs in these places.
Also you can get more personal attention in stores
like <rors so that yon can frequently make economies I n
purchases which would not be possible where the sales
clerks take little interest ia you.
The net result is that when you buy your Christmas
stuff at home, there ought to be a considerable saving in
the total expense of your gifts and w inter purchsaes.
If the people will watch the advertising carefully in
The Tidings they will be ahle to mhke m any Ravings and
take advantage of special opportunities offered by the
enterprise of our merchants.
Our people should feel appreciation for the sp irit of
push and enterprise that onr local stores have shown in
creating these superb stocks of holiday stuff, which spirit
is making our city a constantly growing oenter for trade.
