BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
The state of Wisconsin, especially
Its skilled mechanics and farmers,
should take an interest in taxation.
Well meaning enthusiasts plan to
“put all the load of taxation on backs
able to bear it.”
Their idea is to make big Industries
and big merchants pay all the taxes,
by means of the inheritance tax, pro
vide a big fund to pay wages to all
unemployed, etc.
That sounds interesting, but the
plan as outlined will drive industries
across the Wisconsin line into Illinois
and other states. The Johns-Manville
company, Palmolive soap and the
great Simmons furniture concern
have moved out of Wisconsin already.
If Wisconsin carries out too thor
oughly a scheme that would drive in
dustries and employers to other
states, there will be plenty of applica
tions for the unemployment allow
ance, and that alowance won’t be as
good as regular wages.
Two more of the biggest concerns
in Wisconsin now plan to move out.
If employers move, of courso the
workers will follow for they can’t
live forever on the unemployment al
lowance.
If the workers go, who will buy the
stuff produced by farmers?
It is possible to overdo taxation, no
matter how virtuous your intention.
Astronomers announce that three
faint comets are visible in the hea
vens. The public says. “Oh, is that
so,’’ and goes about its business.
Two hundred years ago that an
nouncement would have sent millions
to their knees and their prayers im
ploring Omnipotence not to allow the
comets to destroy the earth.
We know now that comets follow a
path marked out and as definite as
that of the old-fashioned street car
horse.
But the time for praying has not
gone by any means.

Yesterday Mr. Darrow, begging a
rural jury to spare the life of George
W. Munding, pleaded for “a poor,
helpless victim of environment,
heredity and the passion that has
driven men mad since Cleopatra’s
day.”
As Darrow talked tears streamed
down his cheeks, and they were gen
uine tears. Darrow is himself con
vinced, and so convinces his jury.
As for Cleopatra, of course she
didn’t drive Antony mad, whatever
effect she may have had upon Caesar
and others in her younger days. What
Antony wanted from her were the
vast treasures of Egypt with which
to gratify his ambition.

The wheat market “undertone” was

Motor Cars Costly in India.
Woodhull Hay, in Asia.
"Sahib, when is Henry Ford going
to make petrol from water?" was the
first question asked me by a native
motor dealer when I reached India.
It brought me face to face with one
of the vital problems of selling cars
in the Blast—the high cost of a manu
factured product compared with the
low cost of labor.
An Indian pays 1 rupee, 14 annas
(50 cents) for a gallon of petrol and
hires a chauffeur for 50 rupees a
month. Petrol Is expensive, and labor
so cheap that for the price of 30 gal
lons he can get a driver for 30 days.
I remember seeing at Tinncvelly, in
the Carnatic, a bus that was running
without any radiator. A coolie with a
6-gallon kerosene-tin filled with
water was seated on the front mud
guard and poured the water into the
Jacket with the aid of a coooanut
shell. The owner could hire this
coolie for a half year for less than
the price of a new radiator.
An Indian can with the greatest
difficulty be persuaded to spend an
anna upon his car as long as it will
run; and, when it stops running, he
spends the minimum required just to
make it run again. He treats his
car as he does his bullock—drives it
to death but will not kill it. The only
thing he will spend money for in ad
vanc is petrol. I have never seen
motor vehicles so badly, yes, cruelly,
treated. Cars come into our shops—
I saw one at Ranch!—without a drop
of oil in the crank-case or a smudge

Vanishing Terrors.
Prom the Baltimore Sun.
Of course you remember the white
headed boy in the third grade. He
was old enough to be In the fifth
grade, but he was a bad boy and
wouldn't study and his parents could
not do a thing with him. The teacher
whipped him often, but it didn't seem
to do any good. Ho smoked cubeb
clgareta and could spit through his
teeth.
You were afraid of him, because
he once threatened to bloody your
nose, which was pug and very close
to your face; and when you saw him
coming you took counsel of prudence
and ducked Into an alley. Or per
haps you endeavored to buy security
bjP giving him an occasional jaw
breaker or stick of licorice. Ghastly
little coward!
Well, the years passed and after
a while you were in the sixth grade.
How you had grown! Your feet
covered vast tracts and your hands
seemed almost too much for the ten
sile strengUi of your skinny arms.
You were no longer afraid of tho
white-headed boy. He was In the
sixth grade, also, hanging on by the
skin of his teeth; but Nature had
destined him to be a runt. You felt
a great contempt for him. He never
knew when to Invert or cancel, and
in your heart you knew that you
could lick him with one hand.
Things turn out that way as a rule.
The things that affright us seldom
grow. Today they cause dread shiv
ers along our spines, but after a
while we develop a little more In
telligence or a little more courage,
and then we look back and wonder
that we ever were such cravens.
The Scientifio Phase of Spanking.
From the Wichita Beacon.
Dr. Rudolph M. Binder, professor of
sociology at New York university, de
fends the old-fasihioned spanking as
the most effective and perhaps least
cruel of punishments for disobedient
children. And, according to the pro
fessor, children with any initiative of
their own are bound to disobey.
Spanking impresses naughty child
ren when nothing else will, the socio
logist declared.' Being put to bed or
being compelled to sit in a chair soon
become common-place and lose tiheir
corrective power, he said, but spank
ing always is dependable. Dr. Binder
recommends, however, that the child
be induced to lie down of his own
accord for the punishment Instead of
being dragged across his parent’s
knee, in order to avoid making him a
Victim of brute force.
The "Jazz baby” of San Francisco,
who killed her mother because her
mother objected to the girl attending
too many wild parties, was never
spanked, she said.
Baby Peggy, the high-salaried but
youthful film star, was spanked early
and often.
We do not recall ever hearing of
any criminal \fho thought that
spanking contributed to his or her
delinquency, but a good many of
them in tiheir honest moments have
said that if they had been spanked
more they would have been better
citizens.
And now that an eminent sociolo
gist has Joined the pro-spankers
there is dignified backing to the
movement.
If it becomes fashionable there will

parties and pocket flask episodes and

High Explosives Put
Through Severe Test
The new high explosives, which
found their first large scale use dur
ing the great war, are “insensitive"—
I e., reluctant to go o(T. So markedly
So, Indeed, that they are us safe to
handle as cornmeal or baking powder.
This quality is extremely important,
inasmuch as it makes them easy to
|leal with. To make them explode, a
fuse is used.
They are mostly coal-tar products.
From coal tar are obtained benzine
and toluene, which are converted into
high explosives by treating them with
nitric acid. T N T is an example.
High explosives purchased by the
United States government nre tested
to determine their degree of sensi
tiveness. Samples of them are set up
and fired at with a rifle. If the im
pact of the bullet sets them off, they
are considered unsafe and are re
jected.

Book sensations of the moment are

Figures compiled by publishers show
that old-timers like “Little Lord
Fauntleroy,” “Robinson Crusoe” and
Dickens’ novels are in reality the most

and library circulation are concerned
In India it is said that more copies of
“Robinson Crusoe" have been sold In
the last five years than were sold al
together in the first five A'ars of Its
publication.
