These trees, séthe weighing nearly; pared with the largest animal, the whole, | whose weight seldom reaches more than 100 tons. Yet a large elephant maneuver inside a whale’s skin.

And ants, by the way, are the strongest living things in propor- tion to their size. Man is about half-way in the scale between large and small mammals, and when grown he contains about a hundred million cells. He requires all his brain as well as his strength to cope with the. great animais on one side and the insects on the other. And then there are the microbes to worry about. TAX-EXEMPTION PRIVILEGES UNFAIR Taxation!! What an ominous sound that word is beginning to have for milliuns of citizens. Whenever government goes into any! line of business new taxes are demanded and old business that cannot compete with government goes out of existence and the- taxes it paid are reassessed to remaining taxpayers, for government enterprises arc generally tax-exempt. This fact is becoming better under- stood every day and is the reason for a growing sentiment to make publicly-owned business enterprises pay identically the same taxes that are paid by _ privately- owned industry. When government goes into business it_has stepped outside the function of gov- erning and the excuse for tax-exemption If state, muni- cipal or federal business competes with private citizens, it should not be granted tax-exemption and public subsidy _ priv- ileges denied to private citizens. sovernment-owned business — enter- prises should stand on their own feet and be subject to the same regulation and taxation as are applied to. private _ busi- ness. It is just as nece vublic from, inefficiency. graft -or over- charging by politically-controlled and operated business as it is in a privately- owned business, Whenever any person or any enter- prise escapes taxes, all others have to pay for the tax-exempt, privileged few. i i | ‘y to protect the a THE COST OF WAR It is estimated that the World War cost tue United States to date 51 billion | @ dollars. and that before it is paid for in full the total cost will be more than 100 the states west of the Mississippi. The 51 billion already spent is too great a sum, for the mind to comprehend. One writer tries to illustrate it, but very vaguely, by saying that.if someone had be- | gun throwing away dollars’at the birth of Christ’and had cofitinued to throw them away at the rate of one a minute until the present time without stopping for rest or sleep, he would only now be starting on the second billion. Then to throw away the remainder of the 51 billion would take an additional 95,000 years. This vast sum, if invested at 5 per cent interest, would yield an income of had two pigs would you divide?
