For this unwillingness to stay put another year they paid approximately $68,000,000. Eye filling is the item of $20,000,000 charged by truckmen for the transportation of household- goods. And of course, the change of scene inspired the purchase of new furniture and new utensils, these two items accounting for $40,000,000 iu the total estimated amount of the bill-* Plumbers and fitters get $4,000,000 for their services, and restaurantg prospered by another $4,000,000 paid for meals while household cooking facilities were out#of commission. It is apparent th at a good p a rt of the population is always quite ready to break home ties and seek the balm of change—to know from year to ’year whether variety is really the spice of life, as it is advertised. The spring hegira is only a p a rt of the annual moving, for October has its exodus no less renowned, and through the year are other minor movings. I t seems worth while to note here that the first day of May is now made occasion for a tumultuous demonstration of intent to pay tribute to n new landlord, rather than' to pay compliments to a new queen. : NEW LAWS INCREASE TAXES Though the w orld’s'first great lawgiver codified all the regulations needed for civil and religious life into exactly ten rules, and a groatpr than Moses put His code in two rules, the law makers of the United States in the year 1925 had before them 40,986 laws and succeeded in jamming through 13,018. That total of 13,000 new laws was for one year only. If yon figure as many law's are passed every year, for ten years we have 130,000 new regulations for contract and conduct from bootlegging whiskey to reading the risque, from eats and heats and ash pans and baseball fans to free speeches and legal leeches and radio waves and wage slaves and strike-breakers and strike-makers. These laws are solely state and federal,, not munici pal nor county regulations. I f all the bills proposed in bne rich middle-western state in 1925 had passed, it would have added to the in debtedness of tliat stato a billion, dollars. Put the rate of interest at 4 per cent. Figure the tax for yourself. At least 75 per cent of the surplus laws proposed are to extract and exact the dollar from th rift’s pocket.

By reading the advertisements before going-, to the stores, you know what you will have to pay for an article. You need not reveal your financial status to a salsman. You perhaps do not like to ask the price of goods anyhow. If the merchant has told you the price yn bis advertisement, you do not have to ask.
