Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Good Investment Every four years congress appro- priates $50,000 to give the white house a refurbishing, the idea being to make the executive mansion spic and span at the beginning of each presi- dential term. This year a part of the money will be used to construct a swimming pool for the President-elect. Mr. Roose- velt, as everyone knows, once suf- fered an attack of infantile paraly- sis and still finds some difficulty in walking. As a result the exercises available to a normal man are bar- red to him. But swimming not only is possibie, it is helpful to the muscles of his Jegs and assists greatly in keeping the President-elect in good physical con- dition. Everyone knows that proper exer- cise is 7 tonic to the mind as well as ~the body and that the man who bears a heavy burden does well to forget his cares and difficulties once in a while in a bit of physical activity. The presidency is a terrific burden but President Hoover managed to withstand the strain by almost daily rounds with the medicine ball in his backyard before breakfast. Mr. Roosevelt will have to make the swimming tank take the place of this, the horseback riding and the fishing in which his immediate predecessors indulged. The nation will not begrudge him the cost of this luxury. If, through its help, he manages to keep physical- ly fit and to discharge the duties imposed upon him, it will be a good investment. If he does one-half of what people expect him to do and one-tenth of what they hope he will do, the cost will be cheap at many times the pros- Pective price. 2.50 the state down to the township and village, Too many now escape taxation. Exemptions have been liberal and the tax base grows smaller each year. It ould be widened. Every one earn- in excess of $1,500 a year should give something to the support of the government if it is only $1. If all voters were included in a small de- gree at least on the tax rolls, govern- mental extravagance would be checked in short order. No tax should be so large as to Penalize the individual or business. Ability to pay of course properly en- ters into the scheme of taxation, but in the last decade it has been almost the. sole consideration. Millions who. could pay have escaped under this theory and the rich have found ways of investing their wealth in tax ex- empt properties. With the two ex- oo|ttemes dodging much of the tax load, the burden has become a heavy charge upon industry which supplies the jobs and keeps the economic ma- chinery in action. This tendency must be checked and along with it the trend which in- creases governmental services and ' costs. For Charity’s Sake For the first time in many years the notables of the nation will assem- {ble at Washington March 4 in an inaugural ball which has the sanc- {tion of the incoming president. Not since the inauguration of William | Howard Taft has such an event |climaxed the festivities which mark the induction of a new national ad- ministration. Theodore Roosevelt was the central figure at a big affair and enjoyed it hugely. Taft, more rotund, appeared only long enough to make the event official. Wilson asked that the ball be dis- pensed with at the beginning of both his terms and Harding decided against it after having tentatively given it his approval. Those were all social affairs to which the elite of the national capi- tal and notables from all parts of the world sought invitations, but the canny Coolidge changed that feat- ure. The festivities which marked his induction were of a charitable nature, a heavy charge for tickets being added to the invitation. Cool- idge, however, did not attend, Vice President and Mrs. Dawes doing the Official honors. The Charity Ball was repeated at the beginning of the Hoover admin- istration but here, again, the vice President rather than the chief exe- cutive gave the benediction. This year Washingtonians are counting on the ball to build up their poor fund and members of the in- coming presidential family have Promised to make an ‘appearance. At $25 or $50 per couple the ball should show a profit rivalling that of! an Agmy-Navy football game, an- other athletic event presented in the name of charity. 1 Technocracy suggets that the aver- age school age can be raised from fourteen to twenty-five.

Anyone who regards the American Buffalo as a vanishing species of animal should read a little item re- cently given to the public by the pub- licity bureau of the Canadian gov- ernment. It announced the slaughter of 1,200 bison taken from Buffalo National Park at Wainwright, Alberta, in order to reduce the herd to 6,300, the esti- mated grazing limitation of the great preserve. In addition to these animals the Canadians have more than 1,000 in Elk Island National Park and here, too, the butcher hes to be called in to care for the increase. These two projects are among the most successful efforts to preserve the wild life which once roamed these plains. They give ample guarantee that there will be plenty of animals left to let the modern youngster know what the ancient lord of the prairies looked like. Incidentally the herds are proving profitable. In normal times the hides, heads and meat bring fancy prices. Even now, buffalo steaks find a ready place on the market. How Tax Racket Grows It was only 20 years ago that $1 in every $15.50 was taken by the tax collector. Now $1 in every $3 goes to the support of the government. In this period national income has dropped to $44 for every $100 once earned. These figures should make every- one sit up and take notice. State taxes, about which so much 4s heard, take but a small percentage of the tax toll. Local taxes and spe- tf yt i i! Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, | (Minneapolis Journal) Incited to wrath instead of laugh- ter, the Boston Transcript, exponent of all that is New Englandish, at- tempts to come back at the North Dakota senate’s recorded but un- adopted resolution invoking secession of the rest of the United States from the nine northeastern states. Whereas the rest of us, particularly, North Dakota's nearest neighbors, have been of a mind to chortle, the Transcript Permits itself to be misled into se- rious rejoiner, First, the Boston paper brings up the matter of tax sources, vaunting New England as the money-bags of governmental revenue. Shucks! Everybody knows that the nine northeastern states produce a huge share of federal tax revenue. That fact supplied the cream of the North Dakota jest. If the Transcript had stopped there, it would have made precisely the serious minded rejoiner that the North Dakota baiters in- vited. But the Transcript then fell {into the pit of solemnity. Defend- ling the nine states agamst what was really a ribald jab, the Transcript says: “They are the region to which the oppressed West sends its sons to be educated, and from which it gets most of the books and every Occidental soul irresistibly yearns.” Now it may be all right for the Transcript to talk about sedition and treason. It may be mannerly, in the Boston view, to declare that ‘“no- gs it E Z E & BE une wey iit ite roll i [ t a ;| dreadful! North Dakota Scores a Kick | self-addressed envelope is enclosed.

Dr. F. Park Lewis tells of a little girl who went blind, totally blind. She was the child of highly neu- rotic parents. Her parents, uncles, aunts and the neighbors had freely discussed the child's failing eyesight and the in- creasing difficulty of using her eyes, in the child's presence. is Then one day they took her to an oculist in a near-by city, with the en- tire family accompanying her on the train. We may fairly assume they whiled away the tedious ride talking about the sad condition of blindness and other things that neurotic peo- ple like to talk about. The oculist found the child's eyes exceedingly far-sighted, one eye more so than the other (as is not unusual) had less than half the normal sight. Proper glasses to correct the farsight- édnes enabled the child to see with- out discomfort. During the examination, however, the fact of the poor sight in one eye was made evident to the child, and it weighed on her impressionable mind. On her return home she tried shut- ting the good eye, and, seeing imper- fectly, she became alarmed and cried “I can't see! I can’t see!” The parents, true to their type. be- came excited and exclaimed, “How And promptly, Nellie, responding the suggestion, did become blind. There was nothing wrong with Nel- lie’s eyes, but for the time being she could not see objects smaller than the fingers at a distance of three feet with the better eye, and with the Poorer eye she could not see the light eye. This is psychic blindness, a form of hysteria. Hysteria is a state in which an idea has control of the body and the mind does not respond to the normal sense impulses. A psychic condition requires psychic treatment. The better eye was bandaged and the child was assured that shortly the sight would return to the blind eye. Within half an hour she was avoiding chairs as she groped about the room, and gradually the mental veil was lifted and Nellie was secing again in a normal way. It was on of the conditions in Nellie is growing blind!” | of a 40-watt lamp directly before the |, the address of your correspondent W.

Answer—Constipation is in the! great majority of cases merely a bad | habit. No cure is required. Send with your request a dime and a stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress and ask for the booklet “The Constipation Habit.” (Copyright John F. Dille Co.) Noise regulations were enforced by | cultured Greeks of Sybaris in 700 B. C. which suggestion is effective. Had the little blind girl come under the spell of some blatant charlatan or some freak mental healer or hypnotist or perhaps some religious healer, the restoration of her sight would have been a great miracle. But being un- der medical care it was of small sig- nificance. Hysterical or psychic blindness is the kind of blindness that is often cured by some such suggestion. I have seen the records of several such cases. I have never found a depend- able record of cure of real by miraculous ‘means. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Why Keep It Secret?
