What's the rush to endorse aspirants to the pgstmastership, when the plum won't be #ipe to be plucked from the tree for another year. Mr. Ingle, of the local gas company, is superstitious on the inverse ratio.

The practice is not only an unsigigly and mires aid one, but it is also a fire) menace.* In Chicago last month the annual con- vention ofthe Association of American Law Schools was held, Rather severe was the remark of Professor Chafee, Jr., of Harvard, that allusions to science, literature ture or history was meaningless to at least half of thé college graduates of law of that institution; Now”romes a letter written to assert that it was Mark Twain and not Vice- President“Marshall who first said, “What the country needs most is a good 5-cent cigar.” A few days after making the <4 mark, according to the writer, Mark said | his suggestion was already bearing fruit, | because he had bought a 5-cent cigar which seemed to have some real tobacco in it. , \ { Jacksonville is following in the foot- steps of Key West. Its trolley cars will be replaced with busses. As a starter the! Motor Tfansit company has ordered 86} busses, wich are to go into operation with- | | in the next 60 days. John P. Ingle, brother | of the logal Gas Co, manager, is the presi- | dent of the Motor Transit company, which { recently acquired the properties of the old Jacksonville Traction company, of which Mr. Inglealso was president. , | direct taxes think they are escaping tax- jin the cost of necessities and pleasures, but { MAKE TAXATION HURT *Readers of The Citizen need not pel advoeates of the general sales tax to ap- | preciate that it would have one desirable jeffect: It would make taxation huri. It | would give every citi2en, regardless of in- | come, a new understanding of the gigantic | j cost of the government. All of us pay taxes in some form. But | comparatively few of us pay them ‘directly —and a great many persons who pay in- ation altogether. i We pay a tax when we cook and eat | a meal, turn on the light, attend a movie, buy clothes, go for a ride, or do almost any- thing else. These taxes may be concealed { they are there nevertheless. No business can pick money from the trees—every cost of operation, whether it be labor, supplies or taxes, must be passed on to the customer. If more of us felt taxes directly, the chance for really obtaining economical and efficient government would be tre- mendously improved. If the sales tax comes, government extravagance and expansion will have again added to the cost of the things we buy—and when ‘t hurts all the people, they | may then demand a lower cost of _ govern-} ment. Before considering a sales tax, how- ever, or any other new and increased tax- ation, public officials would do well to re- member that in seeking office at recent state and national elections, President- elect Roosévelt and others, stressed the need for economy in public affairs, re- duced taxation in a number of instances, and promised a 25 per cent cut in the cost, of government. The sales tax seems to be the way! out, but the people will be slow to consent to new and added taxes and it will be an ill-adVised program that attempts to force such burdens on them before pre-electiou promises for reduced cost of government have been kept. ODD SUPERSTITIONS Superstition rules many people of the world, even in such a common practice as washing clothes. Morocco’s women are sure that clothes washed on Tuesday will shrink, and that Saturday’s. washing soils faster. Rumania’s housewives, on the con- trary, wash Saturdays, but are sure their suds would turn to blood if they should at- tempt to wash on Good Friday. English peasants say a death will occur soon in the family if anyone makes this most tragic of all our religious anniversaries her wash- day. Russian women believe that if they wash clothes at Whitsuntide much-feared water spirits will show their displeasure. Only in the United States do women have no such foolish ideas. Our wives and mothers make: no distinction between the days. Perhaps it is because manufac- turers have made it so easy for them to wash whenever they please. With elec- trical washers in two-fifths of all the wired homes, and other power washers in many thousands of other houses, .washday no longersissavtask postpofied as long as.posr sible, upsetting the wholt ‘home when it cannot be further avoided. Cleansing is done swiftly and easily now, and econom- ically, too. On the Isle of Skye, it is said that if a man dies and his family does not wash his clothes, the ghost of a woman will appear and do it for him. That would be a wash- | day even easier than those in our rightly | equipped homes, but there is no record of any “Skye-ites” ever putting the super] stition to the test. | INSULT TO INJURY | During the world war Austria was an} enemy of France, the United Statesowas an | ally of France... -Last week. the . Frénch | chamber of Deputies voted to lend Austria | former enemy $14,006,000, and previous | to that had defaulted on the debt to her! friend and ally. One» of the deputies | shouted that. it was “monstrous”. In the} senate, a senator, quivering with emotion, | refused to vote the bill, avowing that “American soldiers fought .admirably we defend our soil, as I can testify.” American | soldiers not only “fought admirably” but) aiso made the supreme sacrifice as the} “row upon row” of slabs of stone mutely testify. Never-the-less Austria, the enemy, | is given a helping hand, and America, the friend, is spurned. \Key West, Tun, jtained at cards at her hdme on jCleare, Mrs. | Spencer, Mrs, Vesey Johnson, Mrs, } |M..P..
