This is tlie latest edict of the zoning
committee. Secretary Swan announced
that the law would be enforced forth
with, whoever might be the offenders.
“The city's determination to enforce
this provision of the zoning resolution
lias been demonstrated in several In
stances by the revocation of permits
mistakenly issued for the erection of
billboards In residence districts and by
the institution ot suits to bring about
tlie removal of billboards where the
owners have not complied with remov
al orders,” said he. “To bring about
effective enforcement property owners
who have suffered from an invasion
should immediately place the matter
before the superintendent of buildings
on tlielr borough.
‘‘Instead of merely regulating the
height, size and construction of signs,
it frankly recognizes the fact that
there is no such thing as a billboard
respectable enough to rub elbows with
churches, schools and private homes.
When hereafter erected the billboard
must go where it will cause a minimum
harm—alongside business buildings
and industrial establishments. Those
existing before the law was passed, are
allowed to continue. Commercial ad
vertising can In no sense be deemed
accessory to any of the uses specifical
ly permitted in residential districts.”

Freight rates have played a very small part
in the rising cost of living.
Other causes—the waste of war, under-pro
duction, credit inflation — have added dollars
to the cost of the necessities of life, while
freight charges have added only cents.
The average charge for hauling a ton
of freight a mile is less than a cent.
♦
A suit of clothing that sold for $30
before the war was carried 2,265
miles by rail from Chicago to Eos
Angeles for 16& cents.
Now the freight charge is 22 cents
and the suit sells for $50.
The cost of the suit has increased 30 dollar».
The freight on it has increased only 5j confs.
Other transportation charges enter into the
cost of the finished article—carrying the wool
to the mills and the cloth to the tailors—but
these other charges amount to but a few cents
more.

Those who have sufficient ground
In the rear of their city or country
houses in which to plant trees, or
who are planning to plant trees in
ground on which they plan to build,
will do well to consider the useful
ness of trees that are to occupy the

will plant.
Not only are apple trees, cherry and
poach trees ornamental In their shape
and their foliage, but they vary the
year around. They are not only ns
decorative as the purely flowering
shrubs, but they are much more lovely

Aside from the mnnlfest ndvantnge
of owning a house when houses are at
a premium, the family which owns its
own home strikes roots deeper Into the
soil than do those who move from one
part of the city to another ns cenvenf-
ence dictates. Tlielr children go to the
same school and the same Sunday
school year after year. Teachers and
friends have time to grow interested in
them and to make plans for their im
provement or pleasure. The heads of
the family take their duties as citizens
seriously, because bad government
reacts on them directly In the form of
Increased taxes which they see and
feel. Of course, the rentpnyer pays
taxes Indtrectly. but so many other
elements complicate the rate of rent
als that he hardly thinks of taxation
as one of them. The home owner, too,
takes a greater Interest in local im
provements,
because he expects to
stay In the neighborhood long enough
to get the benefit of them. Home own
ing Involves responsibilities, but the
man who faces responsibilities Is us
ually a stronger man, a better hus
band and a better citizen than the
man who dodges them.

The $10 pair of shoes that used to

one cent more than the pre-war rate.
A correspondent writing to the edi
tor of a New York paper suggests a
thought that lias probably occurred to
very few persons Interested in tlie
adornment of American highways with
trees, but that may be the forerunner
of a new idea in such decoration, re
marks the Christian Science Monitor.
His suggestion, in brief, looks to the
planting of productive as well as sim
ply ornamental trees, preferably nut
trees, because the “common fruit trees,
having been cultivated for generations,
are more or less spoiled children, re
quiring continued cultivation if they
are to be happy.” Such planting, he
says, would combine the Greek idea of
utility and beauty; yet his own expe
rience with fruit trees on the border
of a private estate suggests a diffi
culty, for the trees were ruined by the
heedless way In which a miscellaneous
public gathered the fruit. Nuts would,
perhaps, present less temptation, and
there Is, of course, hope that the pub-
lie, once It Individually realized that
beautifying the common highway win

would be more careful In Its treatment
of them. Meantime, the setting out of
any trees at all is an Important step
In the right direction.

In view of the nasty way in which
the president talked to Lansiug, and
cabinet officers acquiesced in the
holding of cabinet meetings while
the president was ill, the things he
said to Lansing apply with equal
force to the rest of them. If they
have a particle of guts left they will
all resign.—Gazette Times.

Too bad the spruce investigation
report had to take on a partisan
turn. “Guilty” say the Republicans.
"Not guilty” says the Democrats.
The facts should be published and
let the public be its own jury. So far
as the testimony brought cut was
published by papers in the northwest
the spruce deal seemed to represent
one of our most gigantic war scan
dals.—Gazette Times.

We can never succeed as an indus
trial nation or people if we are going
to spend one-third of our time in
sleep, another in a rocking chair or
limousine, and the remaining third
trying to obtain the greatest amount
of pay for the least amount of work.
No industry, no country and no peo
ple can long endure or survive the
blighting effect of such an economic
antithesis.—Telephone Register.

Professional publicity men have
again come into their own and news
papers are being burdened by the re
ceipt of tons of typewritten and
printed matter in the interest of the
various candidates for president, to
say nothing of the other tons of plate
matters which candidates have been
hyponitized into paying good money
for on the statement of the promo
ters that the newspapers will run it
because it is "free.” The newspa
pers would not care particularly, ex
cept for the nuisance
of dumping
a large mail unopened into enlarged
waste baskets and the plate into the
scrap heap, if it were not for the im
plied insult to their intelligence giv
en by the assumption that they
would fall for the game of the pro
fessional publicity
sharks.—Inde

The unceremonious dismissal oi
Secretary Lansing from the cabinet
by President Wilson has aroused a
whirlwind of discussion as to the
mental equilibrium of the president.
With Lansing the most able man in
the cabinet and the charge by them
that he had usurped the coistitution-
al powers of the president in calling
cabinet meetings during the absence
and the disability ot the chief execu
tive indicates a childish condition of
mind that is excused by his friends
as resulting from his continued ill
ness. But it is only
a continuation
of the condition that has marked the
administration from the beginning
of its first year. The president al
ways considered himself the govern
ment and his advisors were simply
tutomatons whose minds must run
in the same channel of the chief.—i
Sheridan Sun.
When We Wake Up.
With a forceful campaign of pub
licity attempting to educate the pub
lic very gradually to the higher
prices for wearing apparel, and hun
dreds of department stores featuring
the most wonderful
marked-down
sales in their history, to let them tell
it, the customer is in a quaildry and
as is always the case, the buying
power is very much reduced. It looks
as if we were about ready to wake
up.
Already the big interests have ap-
, plied the brakes and the stock mar
kets show it. Now the same interests
are curtailing speculative credits and
tin- big profiteers are sending out
loud howl, because cancellations of
clothing orders are beginning to as
sume serious proportions.
.Speculation and greed are rapidly
bringing us to a point where there
will be a loud crash, if the cool heads
and real brains in the clothing man
ufacturing and retailing ends ot the
industry do not get together and stop
profiteering and further price infla
tion.
The great middle class have been
small spenders for more than a year.
This class has received but a mini
mum increase in wages to meet the
| wicked advance in ail necessities and
the general business in textile lines
at home has come largely from the
laboring class with more money than
they know what to do with and a
frenzied spennding in an attempt to
; copy extremists in fads and fashions.
Thin class knew little of values, but
' were out for the most costly, regard
less of service or quality. Naturally
the supplying factors meet the de-
mends, but they have overstayed and
now much of their unwarranted prof
its must be used to pay for fheir lack
of judgment.
The frenzied buyer is at. an end.
