By Arthur Perry.
A report from Toledo, Ohio, says
that a millionaire landlord cancelled
an (1800 rent bill magnanimously
and nobly, because "I figured out I
couldn't get It anyway." la there
anybody to deny that tAls la not deep
and heavy winning?
It la now (eared In some quarters
that the repeal ol the 18th amend
ment will bring back pictures of
whiskered goats, the fro lunch, the
bowl ol pretzels, and the auooulent
dill picket and the saloon on the
corner. The saloon was oaa snougn,

as the hlp-pooket and collar man.
It was hie duty to cast the' obstrep
erous one Into the street out on his
ear, una he always did a good Job
of It, . He was generally a retired
pugilist from the underworld, and
abie to take care of fclmsclt under
the most trying combative circum
stances. The bouncer has been elim
inated and now the Intoxicated do
aoout aa they please, as it Is not
considered hospitable to knock down
a victim of his own home brew or
the current moonshine. The saloon
kept bhem so busy buying another
drink and singing "Sweet Adallne"
the hooddlum did not have time to
give vent to assault and battery In
clination, and besides, the capable
bouncer made Wis unprofitable. The
llquor-lnsplred criminal capers of
prohibition and out In the open, so
to apeak, were much mora more fear
some than those out up In the old
tune saloon with Its lithographed
whiskered gotta on the wall, the free
lunch, the bowl of pretssels and the
succulent dill pickles.

Thefkther of young Dub Watson
lost bis auto Friday evening and, be
ing lucky, recovered It Sunday none
th worse and, certainly, none the
better, for Its Illegal absence from
the home garage tor two nights. The
auto was stolen when the key was
left in It, Mr. Watson thoughtlessly
falling to leave Vie engine running
for the benefit ot the thief or thlevea.
During the period his vehicle waa
AWOL be walked to and tro and
back and forth from hla establish

being a pedestrian. It waa the first
time he ,had dons any extended walk
ing exercise since he wsa In the 7th
grade. The astray had four brand
new tires on Ita wheels, which also
remained Intact. Mr. Watson spoke
very hlfhly of the purlolners, but
will try and not leave his key In the

mat, where th. thieves that coma In
th. night will not be able to find It
so quickly.

The Sales Tax
IN another column of this paper, a correspondent, opposed
A to the sales tax, asks where the farmer will get off if the
sales tax is passed.
His answer is the farmer
did before."
Why! Because "with 81 percent of the former prpperty
tax to pay and a new tax on all the food, clothing, lumber, farm
implements and machinery, passed on to him by the retailer,"
his tax bill will be larger than
Wc feel sure if the writer will
of the sales tax, he will change
"TTA-KE the case of a dairy farmer for example. He now pays
A his property tax, or tries to. Let's assume that tax is
$100 a year a very low estimate. He also pays his personal
property tax, a tax on his cows, farm implements, his growing
crops, etc., etc. Place that amount, for the sake of argument, at
another $100. ,
If the sales tax passes, his
nated entirely. According to
real property tax will be reduced from 20 to 30 percent.
Take the lower figure. He will then save $20, on his land
tax, $100 on his personal tax, or s TOTAL saving of $120.
1VJOW to offset that saving he will have to pay his sales tax,
that is 2 percent on his cash purchases, ASSUMING
AS OUR CORRESPONDENT DOES THAT THIS ENTIRE
2 PERCENT will not be absorbed by the retailer, but passed on
to the. consumer.
Let's assume the farmer in
$100 per month, on food, NEW clothing, NEW farm imple
ments, etc., etc. under present conditions, when the farmer
has little extra cash, a high figure. This would represent a
total of $1200 a year.
This farmer's sales tax would therefore be $24. The re
duction in his land tax, and elimination of his personal property
tax would be $120, or a net annual tax saving to him of $96.
As
S has been repeatedly stated in this column the sales tax is
made for the farmer. Under its provisions he is bound
to win he is in fact made a preferred creditor.
In addition to the advantages noted above, all sales the far
mer in question' might make, to a oreamery in milk, or to a
wholesaler or retailer, in hay or farm produce, would be exempt
from the sales tax. He wouldn't pay a nickel.
We can understand why a retailer, large or small might op
pose the sales tax. For he MUST pay the tax, and it may not
appear as easy to him, as it does to Mr. Barton, to pass the tax
entiroly on to the consumer. ' With competition what it is, and
the profit margin as low as it is, he might fear, he would have
to absorb the tax, himself.
But how any farmer, understanding the sales tax, and what
ft means to him can be opposed to it, is simply beyond our com
prehension. ' ' ' ,
VITE are confident that those who DO understand if,, and
have not been misled, by misinformation and prejudice,
WILL vote for it.

Wages First
DAISE wages first, then prices I" This is what Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson, the government's commander-in-chief for
American industry, tells the captains, colonels and lieutenants
as they throng to his office.
It is the humane way, because wages have sunk, in the last
fliree years, to depths not experienced in this country for de
cades. Millions have beon trying lately to live on starvation
wages. Industries have been nearly ruined by the out"throat
competition of companies able to undersell honorable firms by
producing goods out of the lifeblood of underpaid workers.
There have been millions of men, women and children working
for 10 to 20 cents an hour, or
loss.
THIS situation has not only tended to ruin industries them
Rplvnu Vlllf frt ntnlnniT Bnrl dnmii tliA itanMHinn Tt la
pleasant to buy goods dirt-cheap, when people have little money
to buy with; but starvation pay cuts down buying power, and
the evil, if tolerated makes things worse for everybody. From
it flow not only crushed industries but deteriorated goods,
lower living standards, pauperism and disease that society has
to pay for with reduced resources.
Put people back to work and pay them all you can this
is Johnson's method. He admits that the thing has never been
tried before in just this way, but he believes it is going to work.
Ho thinks, though he doesn't promise, that "We'll have several
million more men back at work this summer."
Well, why not t But the banks, as well as the government,
must help.

Recently a prominent banker un

or sanitarium where he was con
fined, and attempted suicide. Ac
cording to a newspaper report, one
of the physicians who had attended
the man announced that the patient
had been seriously ill for several
years with a kidney lesion and dis
ease of the blood vessels. The blood
vessel disease had Involved the brain
structure and brought about Impair
ment of memory, judgment and abil
ity to transact business. The ar
teriosclerosis later developed a severe
ooronary thrombosis these medical
terms need not detain us everybody

of the main arteries that carry blood
to the heart muscle Itself which
had culminated In an attack' of an
gina pectorlea a few months before
the banker's Indictment. T
All that is straight and above
board. But the doctor who Issued

to inject a bit of characteristic ho

may conjecture. Where he explained !

Here we have a reduction In the

You compared the word "tax" to
the prejudice against the "dentist."
Such a comparison is unreasonable.
The article stated that we never failed
to benefit by the visit to the dentist
and inferred that a tax would be the
same. Is It? What about the prop

hardship?
If the sales tax were based upon

I know nothlnf of the case other
than, the news told. From this view
point It seems that the humorous
phrases injected by the doctor ta an
effort to gain the sympathy of the
neurotic world.
It is quite characteristic of general
arteriosclerosis that, as the patient's
memory and Judgment become im
paired, his obstinacy and his refusal
to defer to the better Judgment or
advice of physician or other person.
Unfortunately there i no test which
will determine definitely when these
brain functions are sufficiently im
paired to make the man Incompetent
to handle hla own or another's busi
ness or estate. The law prefers to
wait until .he has committed some
serious breach.
Here la a typical Instance of pro
gressive organic disease (arterioscle
rosis) producing effects which the
public and too often the physician,
would ascribe to "nervous strain."
