FIXING THE BLAME FOR HIGH TAXES When in the sweat of your brow you compute and pay your income tax next March, don't blame the politicians for the size of the bill. Blame yourself. The waste, ineffi ciency ana extravagance charac teristic of American public life are due almost wholly to the indiffer ence and apathy of the individual citizen. He sees the abuses clear ly enough, he has a semi-occasional spasm of indignation and he curses fluently at times, but he does not act. He puts one party out and the other party in. That is the full extent of his political activity. His intentions are good, but he rarely hits the ball. He worships the ballot box as the ul timate goal of political effort, whereas in a representative gov ernment it is only the beginning. Unless the owner of the ballot sees to it that his representatives continuously carry out his will, they form a political oligarchy bent solely upon perpetuating its hold on the reins. It was the indifference and ap athy of the citizens that allowed railroad and other interests to dominate the political machinery of many states. Today, thanks principally to the efforts of the press, the hold of private interests upon state administrations has been broken, but in national af fairs a political oligarchy with no other ideals and aims except to serve its own ends is still in con trol. Whether the politicians run things for railroad magnates and bankers or for their own political benefit, the public always loses. Democracy won't come into its own until everybody takes a con tinuous, active and intelligent in terest in public affairs. Until that day we will have to pay in money and in blood for our selfish, lazy apathy. December Sunset. DIDNT NEED TO ADVERTISE Under the above caption, an Ad vertising agency recalls the disapear ance of Tearline from the market, and the reason for its eclipse, and then points the moral of the story that ioi lows: "Do you remember Pvle's Pearl- ine? Once it was a most popular washing powder. "In 1907 Pyle's Pearl ine rpnspd ad vertising. "They did not have to ad vertise," advertising was no longer necessary. Pearline was a good pro dust and everybody knew it "In 1914 the Procter & Gamble Co. bought Pyle's Pearline at their own figure to save if from bankruptsy. "In seven years the public forgot Pearline. You have got to do more than make a good product. You must tell your dealer and consumer, and keep telling them the advantages of your article. "If people did not die, If people did not move, if new generations did not grow up, if customs and habits did not change, if competitors did it compete, if people were not open to suggestion, an receptive to new ideas then there would be no more need or no use of advertising. "But until then the surest way is to advertise for the established pro duct and the most certain hope for a new idea." Advertising Age. Are You Interested in Sa ving Money On Your Groceries?
