And within recent months the mayor thas acquired a whole riding academy, + together with saddles, boots, spurs, bri- + dies, box stalls, sawdust, English hostler : and some twenty odd animals that from a distance have the appearance of horses. But one thing is lacking, to-wit, the mag- nificent bridle paths, constructed at the expense of the park board funds, And so one of the most interesting tidbits of political gossip in the halls and corridors of the Temple of Idleness is the deferred confirmation of Dr. Johan- son’s appointment, and speculation as to ‘whether the efficiency committee will {Sueceed in its efforts to confirm the *?Prumors that the mayor removed Mrs. Wil- i kins and appointed the doctor in order to ;put thru the bridle paths that would eonnect his riding academy with our 1'$9,000,000 park system, and thus double laa handsome income he is deriving. was the expense con- Aes ammercen i Gary and Tax Rates j JDGE GARY told his fellow steel man- ufacturers that taxes must come down order that business may prosper. _ While the judge was speaking, the Wall Street Journal announced — that stocks and bonds, had reached the high- est prices since the war bobm, So it is evident that business is en- ying very real prosperity, whether the Judge likes the tax rates or not. * We think the judge is tackling this tax “Yeduction proposition from the wrong end. Taxes should be cut down to a point {where the resultant revenue will meet ‘the government’s needs, without piling a surplus. - If the government had a legitimate eed for more revenue than it now re- €eives, taxes in excess of the present taxes would be justified. If the country ‘an be administered on less income, taxes = must be cut. The nation’s needs, and not the state 4 Judge Gary’s business, should govern ' =the making of tax laws.

Children as young as eight are working, and the average age for starting work on the farm is 10.7 years, A little less than half of the children interviewed are making normal progress in school work. hirty-seven per cent are from two to six years behind their normal grades, This early work and deficient training is a decided handicap in a man’s struggle for himself and his family later in life, the investigators found. Publicity Seems to Pay HE treasury’s first tax report on returns filed subsequent to the enact- ment of the publicity feature of revenue law shows that receipts are going up. Tho tax rates have been lessened consid- erably over 25 per cent, the receipts have declined a little less than 10 per cent, The country’s prosperity during 1924 is given credit for this upward trend by the treasury. Othe including Senator Nor- ris, who played an important part in having the publicity feature incorporated in the present law, are convinced that there has been less evasion in the returns filed this year than was the case before the promise of publicity faced possible tax dodgers. A Real Fine } Point BSERVE the delicacies of legal pro- cedure. Pete McDonough, the big San Francisco bail bond broker and politician, was sen- tenced to nine months’ imprisonment on one count and six months on another, for conspiring against prohibition. Now, habeas corpus proceedings are to be brought to free Pete because the sentenc- ing judge didn’t specify which sentence should be served first. Of course, it makes a whole lot of dif- ference to Pete and to justice, don't you see? If you can't see it, it shows your lack of appreciation of the fine points of American law, An Item’s Effect LOS ANGELES lawyer gets only 30 days in jail for beating up his Jand- lady, says a news item. : It is an item that contributes certain argument to the discussion as to the effects of publication of crime news. The “only 30 days” of this item can be taken in two ways. The public can take it as the paper's opinion that the sentence was too light, and lawyers not oh good terms with their landladies can take it as an encouragingly small penalty for beat- ing up the ladies aforesaid. Very, very often the effect of a news item lies not in its facts, but in the man- ner of its presentment. 2 2? Answers to Your Questions ? > lof the hour, ehate Q. Who was Cornelia in mythology? i .
