S e S g /Bad Showing For Republicans, I ' ‘Since the final year of Governor| Ralston’s administration when the to-l tal taxes of the state amounted to but sss,ooo,ooo—and that too, with already two years of the war’s influence in raising prices—the total taxes have risen to $114,000,000 in this year 1922. Next year the taxes will be higher the expenditures greater. Governor Ralston retired.from office leaving the state clear of debt, and with one million saved out of the revenues. Contrasted with that condition, it is found that flow taxation has, doubled and more, that expenditures have doubled and more, that the state owes money, that conditions' are} growing worse for the taxpayer instead of better.—Fort Wayne Journal Gazettee. |

ROMANCE OF FANEUIL HALL

“Cradle of American Liberty” Was Bullt by Bon of French Hu- -~ guenot Refugee, :

An linteresting romance is woven around old Faneuil hall in Boston, often referred to as “the cradle of American liberty.” Andrew 'Faneuil, a French Huguenot, was drivén from home by the revocation of the edict of Nantes. He fled to Holland, and thence to America, and was admitted by the governor and council of Massachusetts Bay colony Feb, 1, 1691, He was an able business man, and became the richest man in the colony through trade in a general store.” His fortune passed to his son, Peter, and Peter proved both a practical and publicgpirited man. He offered to erect a public market building at his own expense if the town would provide proper regulation. The farmers, accustomed to peddle from house to Nouse, opposed this plan, but it passed by a raajority of the 727 votes cast!

Peter Faneuil did more than he had promised, for in addition to the market he built a second story with a hall for town meetings and other pubHe functions. On August 27, 1765, the first mass meeting of protest against the stamp act took place in the hall The meetings to protest against the tea tax were held in the hall in 1773, and the result was the Boston Tea Party of December 16. When Lafayette visited the building ‘in 1824, he said: “May Faneuil Hall -Btand forever, a monument to teach the world that resistance to oppression is a duty, and will under true republican institutions become a;blessing.” L

EARLY SETTLER POMPOUS Pioneer Colonist in America Seemed to Lack the Saving Sense . e of Humor. A persistent respect for the pomps and vanities of feudalism with its distinction of classes and its conventions of respectful observance was held by the early settlers in the American wilderness. ‘They showed a curious lack of a saving sense of humor. When the first settlement at Jamestown was starving, Sir Thomas Gates, on relinquishing - his authority, fired a salute from the fort, amd made his departure like a king abandoning his resim. De lda Warr, arriving a few days later, landed with a flourish of trumpets and a procession, with ban‘mers borne before him: When he went ‘to church he was attended by an escort in red cloaks and a guard of 50 ‘men, although there were not more ‘than 200 in the colony. '

When the Puritans, a people who were supposed to have laid aside the pomps and vanities, went to church, they ' were summoned te Captain Standish’s door by the roll of a drum. Bach man wore a cloak -and carried a musket on his shoulder. They fell in three abreast, led By. a' sergeant, and behind this escort strode Elder Brewster with Captain Stangdish strutting stiffly at his side, with a sword in seabbard and bearing a cane or wand as an emblem of his authority. -

" Whitman Had ‘a Checkered Career. Walt Whitman: began his career as an errand boy in a lawyer’'s office and tried in turn working in a printer’s office, teaching in a country school and editing the Brooklyn Eagle. He fourided and edited his own paper, the -Long Islander, but gave it up and tried building and selling small houses in Brooklyn. : L . During this checkerboard career, Whitman was continually writing poetry, and finally in 1855 he published a small book containing a collection of his poems, under the title of “Leaves of Grass.” It was characterized by Emerson as’ “the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America had yet contributed.” = ik

Whitman’s life was a poet’s life—free, unhurried, unworldly, uncohventional, unselfish, cheerful, optimistic, and it was contentedly and joyously lived. : e b ’ o

What Pinckney Really Told France. When John Jay, in 1796, made his famous treaty with England, which threatened to involve the 'United States in a war with France, the Directory would not receive the ‘American ambassador, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, but intimated that the payment of a certain sum ' might settle the dispute., Pinckney is said to have indignantly answered with the now historical phrase: “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute.” It is said, however, that long afterward, when Pinckney was asked in his' club whether he had ever uttered it, he replied; “No. My answer was not 'a flourish’ like that, but simply, ‘Not a penny, (not a penny.'

The clerk thought there was a catch somewhere, but was assured that the ‘boy was in earnest. ‘“l've worked it out over and over,” he said, “and it comes out 17 and 10 over,” he exPIRIed. oo cas

°~ Another Taxation Scheme. - John MeCardle of the state utilities commissioin,, has a unique plan to save the traction companies of the state from bankruptey. He would put a. heavier tax on motor trucks. Just how this would favor traction lines is difficult to determine. If the trolley! lines cannot stand motor truck competition ithey must surrender as a natural ‘conseqquence, . L ~Of course the trucks have no tracks and right of way to maintain at a ‘heavy_expense. They use the public ’highyawv construced and maintained at publi¢ expense. . It is just that they sliould pay for this privilege as they certainly wear out the road surfacing much faster than pleasure cars. The establishment of the interurban hurt the steam railways and now the freight and passenger motor vehicles hurt the interurbans. It is a question of evoluation and cannot be remedied by legislation. : . :

To Test New Road Material,

For the first time in its history the State Highway Commision is testing a section of emulsified asphalt pavement on one of the principal State highways.
