HABITATION TAX
Victor Mornwctz a New York cor
poration lawyer, proposes a habita
tion tax ns a means to force each ci
tizen to contribute to the government
in proportion to the luxury in which
ho lives, and to prevent tax-dodging.
He would have every resident assess
ed on the basis of the value of the
house and lund occupied as a dwelling
and would also assess the resident on
the number of servants employed. If
tho resident dwells in an apartment
or hotel, ho would be required to pay
tax upon his proportionate sliare of
thu valuation of the entire building
and the ground on which it stands.
Provision is mado for having land
lords and hotel keepers make returns
for their tenants. Mr. Morawetz sug
No ono occupying a dwelling costirig
gosts that provision should be made
in New York for n $,000 exemption.
No one occupying a dwelling cost
ing less than that sum would bo re
quired to pay anything. Mr. Mora
wetz takes tho burden of taxation off
the middle-class city dweller, and
dumps in onto the shoulders of the
rich and tho fnrmer. Kvery farmer
would be required to pay according to
the valuation of his house and lot,
while the festive city dwellers would
find somo easy means of getting with
in tho exemption.
The county court decided not to ap
point n county rondmaster until the
January term of court. Thero is no
immediate need of a roadmaster, and
in the meantime the mcmbera of the
court will investigate as to the quali
fications of appliants.

Richard Harding Da,vis, writing
from Paris makes a .few interesting
observations. Relative to the changes
of a year he stays:
Today a man from Mars visiting
Paris might remain here a week and
not know thb,t this country is waging
the greatest war in history. When
you walk the crowded streets it is im
possible to believe that within forty
miles of you millions of men are fac
ing each other in a death grip. This
is so, first, because a great wall of si
lence has been built between Paris and
the front, and second, because the
spirit of Paris is too alive too resilent,
occupied with too many interests fo
allow anything, even war, to obsess
it. The peoplo of Paris havo accept
ed the war as thoy accept the rigors
of winter. They may not like the
sleet and snow of winter, but they are
not going to let it beat them. In con
sequence shop windows are again
dressed in their best, the kiosks an
nounce comedies, revues, operas; in
the gardens of the Luxemburg the
beds are brilliant with autumn flow
ers, the ofa gentlemen have resumed
their games of croquet, .the Champs
Elysces swarms with baby carriages
and at the aperitif hour on the side
walks there are no empty chairs At
many of the Restaurants it is impos
sible to obtain a table.
Rut the year of war has brought cer
taip changes. The searchlights have
(Bsappea-cd. It was found that to
the enemy in the air thoy were less of
a menace than a guide. So the great
shafts of light that with majesty used
to sweep the skies or cut a path into
the clouds have disappeared. And
nearly all other lights have disappear
ed. Those who drive motor cars claim
the pedestrians are careless the pedes
trians protest that the drivers of
motor cars arc reckless. In any case
to cross a street at night is an adven
ture. There are other changes. A year
ago gold -was king. To imagine any
time or placo whon it is not is diffi
cult. Uut today an American twent
ty dollar bill gives you a higher rate
of exchange than an American gold
double eagle. A thousand dollars in
bills in Paris is worth thirty dollars
more to you than a thousand dollars,
In gold. And to carry it does not
make you to think you arc concealing
a 45 colt.
Another curious vagary of the war
that obtains now is the sudden disap
pearance of the copper sou or what
ranks with our penny. Why it is
scarce no one seems to know. The
generally accepted explanation is that
Hie copper has flown to the trenches
where millions of men are dealing in
small sums. 'But whatever tho rea
son, the fact remains. In the stores
you receive chango in postage stamps
and, on the underground railroad,
where the people have refused to ac
cept stamps in lieu of coppers, there
are incipient riots. Last night at tho
restaurant I was given change in
stamps and tried to get even with the'
house hf unloading them as his tip on
the waiter. He protested eloquently.
"Letters I never write," he explained
'To write letters makes mo ennui. And
yet if I wrote for a hundred years I
could not use all the stamps my pat
rons have forced upon me."
Theso differences the year has
brought about are not lasting, and are
unimportant. The change that is im-,
portant, and which threatens to last
i long time, is tho difference in tho
sentiment of the French people to
wnrds Americans.
We lost caste in other ways. Wd
supplied France with munitions hxty
is a purchasing agent for the gov
ernment put it to me the other day,
wo are not losing much, money by it
mil until the French government pro
tested it was found that some of our
manufacturers were supplying shells
that could not bo persuaded to explode
and shoes made of jmsteboard. I havo
seen the cross section of a shoe "made
in U. S. A." of which 80,000 pairs had
been ordered, tho main deck of which'
was brown paper. When an entire
people, men, women and children, are
fighting for their national existence
and their individual home and life, to
have such evidences of Yankee smart
ness foihtod upon them does not mako
fur fiimidship.

Educating The Rural Dweller
The greatness and prosperity of the
50,000,000 people who dwell in small
towns and on farms throughout tho
country dopends on what thoy are
able to learn. Deprived as they are
of libraries, the close communion of
their neighbors and, frequently, ade
quate schools, the young man of the
small town and the farm may grow up
totally unable to compete with the
man who has had better advantages.
For the purpose of educating these
people, the government is promoting
the organization of tho National Ru
ral Teachors' reading circle, the pri
mary object of which is to educate ru
ral teachers. No movement started
ment, as education can only be attain
ed through educators who are proper
ly equipped for their work. The fin
al plans are being worked out by the
bureau of education in co-operation
with an advisory committee of state
superintendents, and is now ready to
be put into operation so that teachers
and. educaors may register at any time
Thirty states have joined the circle,
and, for the present, only teachers re
siding in those states which have ex
pressed a desire to co-operate in the
work will bo permitted to join. A
complete course of reading for teach
ers has been mapped out, consisting
of non-professional books of cultural
value, educatinal classics,, general
principles and .methods of education,
rural education and rural life problems
The reading course is intended to oc
cupy two years; although it may be
pompleted iq less time. To those who
complete 17 .books within two years
from the time of registering, will be
.warded a National Rural Teachers'
Reading Circle certificate.

SAY "HELLO"
When you see a friend in woe, walk
right 'up and say, "Hello'l" Say, "Old
Brother, howd, yo do; How's the world
a usln' you?" Waltz right up, don't
be slow, laugh and shake, and say
"Helfo!" Slap tHe brother on the
back; bring your hand down with a
whack. His clothes are poor makes
no show, never mind, just say "Hello!"
That home-spun shirt may conceal a
great strong heart, true as steel; that
old coat and shabby vest cuts no ice,
but do your best to make him happy
hore on earth and to feel that he's of
worth. Don't you know that such a
chap has every day his sure mishap?
All he needs is hearty cheer to make
him hupjy while he's here. Don't lit
Him think, that the earth was dead
against him since his birth. Crack
his shell, draw him out; don't let hipi
whino, sulk or pout. Mako him toll
you all the woes of his heart before he
goes. Don't tell him He's a chump
but tell him to get up and hump; tell
him not to be slow, but get around
and say ''Hlelol" I'm alive, what can
I do to help myself, as well as you?"
Do not wait until he's dead to strew
boquets around his head. Nice words
spoken are out of place, if not said be
fore his face. Make him see that you
arc his friend, and will stay such to
the end. Yes, tell him now though
he's rough :"Why, old brother, you're
'just the stuff this world needs to
mako it go; now brace up and cry,
''Hello!" Thero are plenty such about
that are worth the digging out. In
this way you surely can make him
feel that he's a man. He will always
think of you as his best friend, tried
and true. In the future you will
know what good it does to say "Hel
lol"
