These counties believe that if such a tax is legalized to be collected in their jurisdiction the counties should share in the division. They see a $600,000 dragged out of their yers to be spent elsewhere in the state without 1 particle of local benefit to the people who cough-up the money. Several counties have been heard from on the subject and have indicated a desire to be heard by the committee haying the bill in ch That there is merit in the claims of the counties is apy nt to the members of both houses. While the ‘oline tax bill should not be passed, in of economy and retrenchment, if it should be the old principle of “no taxation without maining to be satisfied day assed, there is representation” re Weight at the Top’ Certain economists who pore over United figures, seem haunted with visions of a social s over heavy at the top, with the y will finally collapse of its own we ceeding enumeration of the cline in the proportion eng commodities, and as steady with commodities after they States census ystem growing irs as they pass and which ght. They see with each suc- cupations of our people a de- aged.in the actual production of un inerease of those who deal re produced. The clerks, the bank- ers, the brokers, the lawyers, the accountants, the salesmen, the stenographers and advertising men multiply, while the far- mer, the factory worker, and the miner occupy less and less of the economic picture. During the ten years ended in 1920 the workers engaged in distribution increased ten time: fast as those who were directly concerned with production. When too many distributors and manipulators fasten themselves on the producers they are riding for a fall. Too much overhead will carry down a nation as surely as it will a business concern, The first comprehensive attempt to avoid such a calamity has been taken by the United States Chamber of Commerce, with the counsel and co-operation of Secretary Hoover. Nearly two hundred delegates from all parts of the country repre- senting every major industry from manufacturer to retailer, met in conference in Washington to formulate plans for nation-wide investigation into the methods and costs of.distri- bution. The keynote of the conference was the elimination of waste. It is one of the anomalies of our economic development that the processes of manufacture have been elaborated and refined to a degree that has eliminated at least the grosser forms of waste and inefficiency, while the processes of distrib- ution are still in a state of comparative chaos. To cite merely one illustration; the essentials of life are now produced; in the main, by ls scale operations with a vast economy at every turn, but they are sold through a multiplicity of unorganized and unrelated units with a waste and inefficiency unknown in manufacturing for a decade. In his address to #he conference in Washington, Mr. Hoo- ver pointed out some of the more important economic leak and suggested how they may be stopped. “One of the greatest wastes in our whole system of distribution,” he said, “is the unnecessary number of links in the distribution chain and the excessive number of chains. I do not think any one will deny that we have more retail and wholesale establishments than we need in all sorts of directions.” He mentioned the relaxation of etfort and extravagance of booms, with the waste of unemploy- ment and bankruptey which comes-from the inevitable slump; waste from excessive seasonality of production and distribu- tion; waste from a lack.of standards of quality and grades; waste due to inadequate transportation and terminals; waste due to destructive competition of people who exhaust their rapital throu lack of understanding of the fundamentals of their bi giness and waste due to disorderly marketing, Mr. Hoover is cautious about remedies—except one. He lvocate ithout reserve discovery of the facts. When those oncerr the evils of the situation, he believes they will yolupts to correct them. But how they should act he does not specifically state. He merely lays down a general principle to which he thinks all should conform; “voluntary co-operation in dustry and commerce lation, but with the friendly assist in organization and information,’ country a service in the without government regu nee of government agencies Mr. Hoover has done the nization of more complete statistical service on economic conditions than is issued by any government in the world, His statement that ‘the department of commrce has during the last four years, been engaged in a continuous and exhaustive study of our whole distribution system” gives promise of even greater service in a fic ld danger: ously neglected in the past great ory One-Sided Figures Every now and then some one arises to deplore the great Fums spent by the American people on this or that which the critic las no use for.

Several times he was rescued, but at last he disappeared completely. The president, on his daily strolls about the city, always had an e out for Tige and éeveral stray Tigers were chased to thetr lairs, but closer observation proved they were not Tige.

The White House kennels are pre- sided over by the beautiful white collie “Rob Roy," who was called “Oshkosh” when he arrived at the White House. Mrs. Coolidge didn’t think “Oshkosh” suited the beauti- ful animal at all and she selected the name of Rob Roy for him, Second in command is the Aire- dale, “Paul Pry"—a very nosey in- dividual. When the Airedale first reached the White House, there were efforts to associate him with the departed “Laddle Boy” and he Was called “Laddie Buck," by some of the attaches and newspaper men.
