It takes a strong heart and a! clear vision into the. future to face the situation cheerfully. On the one hand commodity | prices dropped over night while, cost of operation remained at war | figures and demand fell to zero. | Coupled with this, heavy tax payments are now coming due with a fifth national loan follow- ing in April. In the meantime) business has been standing still, | pending settlement of peace) terms. A pessimist can paint a gloomy | picture but one cannot afford to be a pessimist now. Instead, for- | get fora minute this critical per- | iod through which we are passing and look into the future. | Take your own home as an ex: | ample.

AWAKEN PUBLIC INTEREST After March 15, 1919, virtually , every individual and every in- dustry will more fully realize what taxation means. Heretofore its burdens have rested lightly upon the average citizen and touched only those with larger incomes. , Times have changed and it is a man with a small business int deed who does not come under the $1000 or $2000 exemption clause while the profits cf a large business or income are taken. up to as high as 80 per cent. Just what the effect on indus- try will be, of this heavy taxation it is hard to say but the impres- sion prevails that it will retard expansion and development toa considerable extent. One great good should come from the high taxes necessitated by the war, the tax problem will be brought home to every family in America and as a result there will be a general demand for economy and efficient adminis- tration in public affairs both state and national, in order to lighten the tax burden’ as much as possi-| sible. jceaaaeiaiant deaminase tdsicicias uaaaadaoie Jack Johnson, the former color- = ed prize fight champion who got) = | $100,000 for meeting Jim Jeffries = is “broke” in Spain and fighting | = for $200 purses.
