As a result we all too often have juries which do not represent the average intelligence of the community but something below the average. In time of peace there is no more important duty that be- falls a citizen than to sit on a jury when called to do s0.The call is not frequent and were there a proper conception of its importance and a proper desire to meet the demands of good citizenship, jury dodging would not be so frequent and the quality of our justice would be improy Juries determine the property and personal rights of citi zens. Nothing can be mo mportant than that. ery man who is haled into court with his property or liberty in the balance, wants his case passed on by intelligent men, unless he has no case at all, when ignorance is what he wants, and, too often for society’s good, what he gets. No man is a good citizen who from selfishness, declines to perform jury duty when called upon to do so. We will not get the best possible quality of justice until men of affairs and at- tainment perform this duty, Jury dodging is a contributing fac tor to crime growth. Prosecuting attorneys are agreed on this fact. It is a disgrace that an intelligent man, in some parts of the country, inot hope for a trial befor jury of peers. Must Be Reduced There will be a general agreement with Jud Elbert H. Gary's declaration before the American Iron and Steel Insti tute regarding taxes. “They are much too high,” he said. “whether levied by national, state, municipal or, in fact, any public organization possessing the power to levy and collect taxe That statement not be successfully challenged, but what is being déne to lighten the burden? Here we have u paradox. The federal government, which bears most lightly upon the taxpa) dily reducing taxes, while the state and loeal governments, which bear most heavily upon their supporters, are increasing their taxes by leaps and bounds, The paradox is made the more peculiar by the fact t the states in which the ery for lower fede taxes is loudest are the very ones in which other taxes are being most rapidly in creased. It is not the state but the cities and counties which are the chief offenders against economical administration. In New York the budget has virtually doubled in the last seven'years, haying risen from slightly over $200,000,000 to $400,000,000 The tax rate itself is a few points lower for the present bud get than for the last one, but this reduction was made pos sible by an immense increase in the assessments which form the basis for the rate, Consequently the total tax and the bur den on the individual are in reality the largest they have ever been. No objection can be urged against increases which are tated by general advances in costs or by such expansion ivities as is demanded by enlightened ideas of progress. But untold millions are squandered either upon enterprises which ought never to have been undertaken or by extravagant methods of carrying on the public business. The fierce light that beats upon the capitol at Washington is not turned upon government nearer home. The result is— what it is. Taxes are coming down at Washington and going up everywhere else. This process cannot continue indefinitely. Sooner or later taxpayers will have to demand a change. A Bold Move New York bankers in touch with French financiers be Heve that Caillaux, French finance minister, is playing one of the most daring and gigantic financial gambles in history He is credited with deliberately allowing the franc to depri ciate, with the object of scaring French internal bondholder: who a large portion of the French people, into a cepting tion of the franc and drastically enforced taxa tion. When the point comes that bondholders: fear the total loss of their securities through depreciation, he believes they will abandon their hope of a return to pre-war parity, and to save the country’s currency from demoralization will con sent to reforms that will put France financially on her feet The Milwaukee's Troubles Objection to the plan for reorganizing the Chicago, Mil- wauk nd St, Paul railroad corporation has developed along several lines. Small stockholders say they find the assess ments so great that t cannot meet them and they demand help from the bankers, lest the stockholders be “squeezed out A group under leadership of George Emlen Roosevelt of New York, representing large institutional holders of stock, con tends that the failure of the road was due to “confiscatory freight rates,” and sets forth the assertions that reorganiza tion should be deferred until the inters commerce commis sion shall have reached a iding rates. Sup porters of the plan say unization should. be effected at once regardle of pending rates, and H Byram receiver, says the burden of ment has been lightened by extending the installment it the last will be payable. February 15, 1927 Very Praperly Declines More than a score of prominent universities and colleges have formally inyited the president to attend commencement exercises, and at least that many have offered to confer a de gree—usually with the pre that he must come to the cam pus to receive it. But Mr. Coolidge has decided to decline all invitations and offers, Airplane Progress Some genius has built an airplane gasoline tank which automatically repairs leaks caused by bullets and which weighs 40 per cent less than the rubber-covered air service libre bullet When struck, the outer tank, leak-proof tank, retained’its contents after a .50 had passed through it in tests at McCook field an inner tank automatically rofates within placing the bole in the inner tank in tact with the wall of the outer tank, and cutting off the leakage. The complete tank may ,be dropped off automatically if the plane is disabled. Casper BailyCrinme Who’s Who The appointment of Harry Hull to the post of U. 8. immigration commissioner is the story of another farm boy who rose to a position of importance in world affairs. Hull, former representative from Towa, has just been appointed commissioner, suc- ceeding Waiter W. Husband, who in turn succeeds Robe Carl White 1s second assistant secretary of labor. Born on his father's farm near Belvidere, N. Y., March 12, 1864, Hull was edycated in the public schools at Cedar TARRY E MULL Rapids, In., where he engaged in the grain business. There he was an al derman for two years, mayor for ten years and postmaster for thir- teen years, It was on the death of Congres: man Irwin 8. Pepper, Republican, that Hull was nominated to the house of representatives in 1915 dur- ing the 64th session of congress. ——$—<—__.

The last war left the nations of Europe bankrupt —victors as well as vanquished. War has become national and tnterna- tional suicide! the For the “What is this monster war?

As you read and the files buzz, a sea- gull catches a fish at the mouth of the Amazon, a tree falls in a Califor- nia wilderness, a man sneezes in Germany, a building bursts into flames in Bombay, and triplets are born in France. Does the contem- poraneity of these events with one another and with @ million others as disjointed, form a rational bond be- tween them, and unite them into anything that means for us a world? James supports the idea that just such 4 colateral contemporaneity, and nothing else, Is the real order of the world. “It {s an order with which we have nothing» to do but get away from it as fast as possible. de “We break {t; we break dt into histories, and we break it into arts, and we break it into sciences; and then we begin to feel at home. “We make ten thousand separate nerial orders of it, and on one of these we react as though the orders did not exist.” There is. moral to this: It for- bids us to be forward in pronouncing on the meaningless forms of exist- ence other than ouf own; and it commands us to tolerate, respect and Indulge those we see harmlessly interested and happy In thelr own ways, however unintelligible these be to us, Neither the whole of truth or the whole of good is revealed to any single observer , although each ob- server gains a partial superiority of insight from the peculiar position from which he stands.

Absence of Railroads The railroads of the United States last year gave employment directly 750,000 people, and indirectly to many more who were busy produc- ing the materials that the railroads bought with the more than one bil- Mon dollars they expended in 1924. ‘The expenditures of the railroads for materials and betterments in 1926 will probably exceed a billion and a quarter dollars. How many people will be provided with work through the expenditure of that vast sum of money can only be surmised. The people who sell ties, the men who make rafls and fish plates, the builders of engipes and cars, the’ manufacturers of paint, the refiners of ofl, the miners of coal, the makers of electrical ma- terials, printers, paper makers, lum- bermen other than those who get out railroad, ties, makers of lead pencils, cement makers, stone cut- ters, structural fron fabricators and many others not properly listed as raflroad employees, find employment because of the annual expenditures made by the raflroads for growth and betterments. The prosperity of the States is in some very traceable to railroads through the money they expend in paying their employees and also the means ‘they provide for other employers whose employees work on materials to be used by the railroads, Then there is that other and vast- ly more important aspect of the railroads. There would be no pros- perity here at all were there no rail- A century ago all the big cities were located on navigable ters and all because the inland sec- tions of the country were then cut off from communication with the coast so far as getting and sending supplies went. It cost then as much as $6.50 a ton to move heavy freight whole United great degree and at that time six dol nd a half meant more than ty do now. Thanks to the ra a ton may now be moved a mile by rail for a few cents. About all that people produced in pre-railroad days was consumed close to its point of origin. Only light and eastly carried things trav; eled far in those days, and when they did, a journey that might now be made in a few houre by rail, con- sumed weeks. People who traveled went {tn discomfort on horseback or in wagons over,wretched roads, Pro- gress was slow and accommodations meager. Imagine a trip by stage- coach from New York to Buffalo over bad roads and which consumed about two weeks. It was a distress- ing experiences and costly in money as well as time. Now it is made in 10 hours or less for a quarter the price that the forefathers pald and in the comfort of a Pullman car or a+ good coach, Still the demagogues are always striving to stir the people of the country to anger against the rail ds by telling them that the car riers are robbing them and that they would be better off than they are were it not for the harmful things like the rest. that the railroads do to them It would be a fine thing-if those who are inclined to a policy of rail- road baiting and hampering could be forced to experience transporta- tion conditions such as the public knew in 1825, It might put a crimp in their desire to argue thatthe way to bless the public is to bring ruin and disaster to the railway systems of the United States, Imagine the outcry from the Mid- dle Western states, where railroad baiters are every busy poisoning the public mind against the carriers, if suddenly all the railroad tracks there were torn up. Even in this day of the automobile, the disaster would, be irreparable. Property values would slump and prosperity would be gone for good—or u such a time as tho railroads were rebuilt, Doctor Gives His Views On Superstition NEW YORK, June %.—{United Press.)}—Are you afraid to look at a new moon through the trees, believ- ing that it will bring bad luck? Probably not. Have you superstitions about black cats or gray horses? Maybe, but you know they have no basis in fact. Do you believe that if you kill a toad the family cow will go dry? Undoubtedly not. And yet you may be one of the thousands who still belleve in the old saying that one should “stuff a cold and starve a fever,” even though medical science hag proved that the opposite is the case. “Medical superstitions and saws, even when ridiculous on the face, die harder than any others," says Dr. J. Allen Patton, medica! director of the Prudential Insurance com- pany of Newark, N. J. “A man who wouldn't think of carrying a buck- eye in his pocket as a charm, or the left hind foot of a erave-yard rabbit, will insist that his wife tie a plece of asafoetida on a string around the baby’s neck to keep it from catching whooping cough or other contagious diseases. “The same {s true of red flannel underwear,” says Dr. Patten. ‘‘De- spite the fact that it has become the subject of jest nationally it’ is still widely worn, because it has long been the belief that red flannel would keep off lumbago, rheumatism, pneumonia and the like. As a mat- ter of fact flannel as an under- garment has its value in that it is an effective means of keeping the bedy warm, but red flannel has no more virtue than white, or powder blue. “It is a surprising thing, but in certain sections it is generally be- Heved that tuberculosis can be cured with Indian turnips soaked in whiskey.
