MAULING STUFF TO MARKET.
U-.es! es.)
il is u reasonable prophesy that
within the next ten years most of the
.urge cities will be supplied to a great
extent with products from the sur
rounding country huuled in by motor
uriven trains over splendid highways.
This is already the case in London and
i'aris and the cost of hauling has been
■ educed in such cases to as low as •»
cents per ton per mile.
Each little truck farm In the neigh
borhoodf of London has its car, which
is Ailed during the night with pro
ducts intended for market. Early next
morning a powerful tractor picks up
these individual cars from each farm
and delivers the produce at market,
returning with such supplies as the
farmers need from town.
LIBERTY AND EFFICIENCY.
(Atlantic Monthly.)
Among a free people tho remarkable
human specimen Is more likely to get
his most complete, and powerful de
velopment than among a people subject
to autocratic government.
We may reasonably believe, there
fore, that there is a power In free in
stitutions which leads straight to ef
ficiency In the Industries of the coun
try and, in the long run and after many
experiments and failures, to the ef
tlclent management of Its government
al concerns, and that this efficiency
can be brought to a higher condition
in a republic or a constitutional mon
archy than in any despotic govern
ment.
A precious lesson <>f the war will be
this:
Toward every kind of national ef
ficiency discipline is good, and co-op
eration is good, but for the highest ef
Aclency both should be consented to
liberty,
WORK AND PLAY.
(Evansville Courier.)
America has been slow to realize the
downright truth of the old adage "All
work and no play makeu Jack a dull
boy" or JIU a dull girl, for that mat
ter. Industrially and collectively we
are gradually coming to an apprecia
tion of that maxim. Ball grounds and
tennis courts are adjuncts to many of
our larger Industrial plants — play
grounds are features of our more pro
gressive cities, and wherever possible
our schools have large plagrounds
and complete gymnasiums. Individ
ualist however, we are far behind othet
nations. England especially, when It
eoBMML.tp individual relaxation and pl<u
among business and professional men,
ul least. The average successful Am
erican is so wrapped up iu his busi- |
ness or his profession that there is
very little room for a play hobby. Our
best men do not relax, do not play,
until the hardening of the arteries or«
other signs of the approach of the I
parting day, bring warning to slow up
SATISFIED HUSBAND WRITE8 !
(Dayton News.)
A man has no business fooling
around the kitchen where the woman
is at work. In the first place he does
not know anything about cooking. Food
was never cooked until the woman put
her hand to the work. There Is an art
about cooking that cannot be acquired
by the male. Men have gotten into the j
game, and some of the notable male
cooks in the big hostelries, receive
large salaries for preparing foods, but
as a matter of fact thero Isn’t a man
on earth that can cook food like a
woman can cook It. You might as well
t.lK about a inan darning stockings
or sewing buttons on a vest as to talk
about his knowing anything of the art
of cooking. He can apply heat to food
stuffs, and cover up a multitude of
sins that may exist In tho raw stuff,
but he simply can’t get the poetry Into
the food that soaks In at a woman’s
loving touch. And without tho poetry
the food Is good only to sustain life;
it Is of no value as a means of fur
nishing pleasure when It Is consumed.
HIGH C08T OF GOVERNING
(Saturday Evening Post.)
The assessed valuation of all prop
erty on which ad valorum taxes were
levied in 1912 was In round numbers
$7,000,000,000, which was something
like half of the estimated total wealth
of the country but property Is rarely
valued for taxation at Its true market
worth. By a sort of universal, con
fessed and futile attempt to beat the
tax collector assessments are usually
made at two-thirds or only half of the
supposed true value—with the result
that tho tax rate is half or a third!
higher than It would be If assessments;
were marked up to par. So perhaps!
two-thirds of all the wealth of the
country that Is not publicly owned ls{
on tho assessors' rolls for ad valorumj
taxation. On that property In 1912!
taxes amounting to $1,300,000,000 were
levied, tho Increase over 1902, when
tho census bureau mado Its last previ
ous Investigation, being 86 per cent.
No doubt expenditures by government
bodies that derive revenue from direct
ail volorem taxation quite doubled in
the ten years and the people of this
'country am now paying something like
i
$2,500,000,000 a year for a rather In- j
ferior article of government. In view]
1 "f the size of the bill we may abate!
|u. little our indignation at European
governments that waste so much pub
money on armaments.
