TKEY DID THEIR WORK WELL. The County Hoard of KTtialization at Crown Point, which has just closed its labors, had a thankless task and no Hoard of Review over sat in Lake county that hart to undergo such an arduous strain and face as m iny difficulties. It Mood between two tires the State Board of Review and assessors and the general public and nothin? but praise must be given the members of the board for their conscientious work. They realized ihat the assessing in North township was in many cases extreme and this must not be taken as any particular criticism of James Clements, the township assessor, for that offici::l did but what lie deemed his duty. He realized that many assessments were too 10 w and that the new tax law strove to remedy this. The County Board of Review strove to be fair and this newspaper helieves that they were fair. At

There is room for only I patiently to the innumerable complaints and labored hard one language and that is the language of the people of I to eoialize excessive assessments and bring others up.

Lake county may be congratulated for having: men of thij calibre on its tax review board.

Everything that he earns goe.- to clothe and feed hia family. It was bad enough during the war, hut j it is far worse now, and all signs point to te fact that' the worst is coming. Why, the prices you will pay next winter will make your eyes pop out of their sockets! For six months now the Wilson administration has done nothing to ameliorate conditions. It has been s" busily engaged in settling the affairs of Europe and most of Asia that it has had no time for the good old U. S. A. The profiteers have been running this government. Food .peculators are fdone responsible for the high prices of food. They have had full carte hlancae. Nothing what-1 ever has been dene to stop them. They are running wild. British buyers are taking foodstuffs to Europe by the shipload. The government stocks are being bidden off by foreigners. The American people paid for these supplies through taxes and liberty bonds and the U. S. refuses to put an embargo on the private shipping of food. Our government has washed its hands of all responsibility to the people for their daily bread.

We do not think the public is disposed to blame the

niployes for asking for higher w ages, and we believe the i employes can count on the public remaining "reasonable" as long a the workers themselves, and the traction companies as well, give evidence of being reasonable. Trans portation is :n many respects just as vital to the community as police or fire protection. The street car men's relationship to the pub'.ic is not brought forward to minimise or counteract the legitimate demands of the workers, but merely to emphasize the fact that in the pending negotiations the public cannot he disregarded. To call a strike before trying every possible means of reaching a settlement, whether by compromise or otherwise, is to disregard the interests of the public. To hold our for wage demands that are notoriously higher than anywhere else in America is to liy the unions open to the same criticism. It now- appears that the public utilities commission Is not disposed to act as arbiter in wage disputes; hut we have no doubt that the commission would deal fairly with the companies If the latter should reach some agreement with the men as to a new wage scale. Just now this procedure seema to oiler the best hope for a solution. And

even a "reasonable public" will not take it kindly if any chance for a solution Is Ignored or repelled. Chicago Tribune.

Where the Air is Pure j There is no need for an expensive --vacation" when you own a sturdy, dependable motor car. For every road and lane is your playground and you find that recreation has become a daily habit. Between dinner and sunset you can cover more territory and see more of nature than a dosen vacations could afford. Try it this summer with a Paige, five passenger, -Linwood." You will travel in luxurious comfort, but the cost of operation will be surprisingly low. A little gasoline and oil that is all you need. With the Paige, first cost and last cost are one.
