All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. How to Reduce Taxes So far congress has given no indication of a burning desire to reduce appropriations, lop off unnecessary bureaus, and eliminate costly departments,'' although this is the only way in which taxes can be reduced and a heavy weight removed from the shoulders of the taxpayers. The American people themselves are partly to blame for the hesitancy of congress to swing the ax. Too many interests of one sort of another maintain organizations in Washington to

c6nvince congress that the purposes of their or-i granization really are a public service. As soon as congress shows an inclination to defeat an appropriation providing funds for their support, paid proponents of the affected cause are up in arms, shouting that many thousands of persons are directly benefited and will resent the elimination of the appropriation. The creation of bureaus, commissions, and semi-public offices has gone ahead at such a pace that we scarcely realize their extent. As soon as some one thinks of a new scheme, he quickly organizes a group of persons in its behalf, and begins to demand an appropriation for its support. ' ' Millions of dollars are annually spent by the people in support of movements that in the last analysis- do not help the whole community or country, but benefit only a particular group, class or district. .We have lost some of the old-time independence of American citizens, and are asking the city, state and federal governments to do those things for us, at the expense of the taxpayer, which we ought to do ourselves and at our own expense. Somehow we have gotten the idea that the government has an inexhaustible amount of

money to draw on, and that we do not provide the dollars wrhich are so lavishly spent, allegedly for the good of all. Few of us realize that all of us pay the cost of gpvernmint. We still believe that the other fellow, the man of property, the man of wealth, is the only one that pays for the upkeep of government, forgetting that in the last analysis we pay just as- much as he does. If we would stop to remember that each of us "pays his proportionate share of the cost of government, we would not be so quick to espouse every cause that is a drain on the public treasury or -which entails a subscription from the individual. Our foolish belief t"hat the other man pays for the measures which we espouse is one reason why taxes are high. And taxes will stay high, so long as we persist in our foolishness. Let the public be satisfied to have the government curtail its expenditures, and taxes will come down of their own accord. The high cost of government cannot be attributed to graft and a desire on the part of

legislators to see how much money they can

appropriate. Part of the high cost of govern

ment is due to our desire to have the government perform functions which we ought to do ourselves and at our own expense. .

The Days of Real Sport

Vote Next Tuesday Voters of Richmond ought to turn out in full number next Tuesday' to decide the issue be

tween the proposed city manager plan and the present federal system of municipal government. The issue has been put before the voters plaiiily. It is their duty to register their opinion at the polls. This is the place designated by the founders of the republic as the place where our political questions must be solved. We have no other method. No better one could be suggested. No one should believe that his neighbors and friends will go to the polls in sufficiently large numbers to express his sentiment. The individual opinion' of every voter is wanted. You cannot send a substitute to do the work of voting. Your own presence is required. The polling places are conveniently located and their number is sufficient to make it possible for every qualified voter to register his choice.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

. Evening Hours The day -with its -worries is ended at last; its troubles and hurries are things of the past; the sun has descended,, the night shadows close, the evening Us splendid, it brings me repose. All day I was drilling and sweating around, and mowing and milling and pawing the ground; I weeded the onions and wrestled with trees untili I had bunions on fingers and knees. And oft in my toiling. I murmured, "By James! What profits

this moiling?- What good are mens games? WeUabor and labor, and labor some more, itill Death with his saber tomes up totthe door. We're plowing or hewing or building a wall; what good are we doing? What use is it all? We fill up the hollow, we drain out the weir; and people who follow won't know we were here." And now in the gloaming my rest is so sweet, I think of my roaming around in the heat, and know that it fitted my soul for this hour, and toil is acquitted of charges so dour. I carried my burden until the day's close, and this is the guerdon a tired man's repose.

DO YOU DESERVE GOOD LUCK? Michael Dowling, who died the other day in Olivia, Minn., should have his name inscribed in everlasting letters on the world's scroll of honor and his statue in eternal bronze placed in every hall of fame in every city of every land and his name and life history engraved in every heart of every man who is disheartened and discouraged because of his struggles with the seemingly Insurmountable obstacles that are strewn on all the highways leading to any great goal. For Michael Dowling was pre-eminently a man of courage. Born in poverty that most of us can hardly conceive of, afflicted with some of the most heart-breaking disabilities it is the lot of humans to suffer, he yet wrested from life almost all of its good things, and he leaves a heritage of inspiration and encouragement to all men who think they have been worsted by the fortunes of accident, or war or sheer battlings with a hard world. When a boy of fourteen, Michael Dowling was caught in one of North Dakota's blinding blizzards. When it was all over, it was found that both his arms and legs were so frozen they had to be amputated to save his life. In the poorhouse hospital, to which he was subsequently sent, Dowling had plenty of time to ponder why some people are born with a silver tpoon in their mouth, "while it was left to others like himself to average down the general allotment of human blessings. But the boy did not take to self-commiseration and self-pity. His body was broken, but his spirit was not. And he immediately began to think of

ways in which he could overcome, if not capitalize his handicaps.

Since he had neither arms nor legs nor money, he decided there was

only one way in which he could make a living he would have to use his head.

As a preliminary, he absorbed enough of the fundamentals to qualify as a teacher in the district country school, and here he managed to earn and save money enough for a college education. After a few years, Michael Dowling became superintendent of a high school, manager of a newspaper. Speaker of the House of Representatives of Minnesota, president of a bank and United States Senator. Incidentally, equipped with artificial members, he drove his own auto, he hunted and he trapped, he was an enthusiastic athlete. The next time you get the notion that yours is a particularly hard lot give a thought to Michael Dowling the legless, armless, wounded boy on a poorhouse cot, who became, an educator, an honored public official and financier and ask yourself v ','Do I deserve my good luck?"

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It,"

Up"

FLOWERS The greatest argument in favor of a real God is flowers! Who is there who would want proof in the face of these mysterious and magical creations? I care not what flower you choose. They are all wonderful. Put under the microscope the most menial and tiny flower and you will see wonders enough to astound you." I looked at a great horse chestnut tree the other day. Hundreds of massed stems, with hundreds of individual flowers, made the entire ttree look like some snow-coated giant. Such beauty and such fragrance! Today I got a package. I carefully unwrapped it and I tell you Jiat I was thrilled when I took away the wet papers that revealed the white heads of lovely and deliciously scented buds that smiled as they had come to help make me happy.. A friend had sent them from a distance of nearly two thousand miles. I love to walk into thick woods and down steep hills and into - black soiled valleys and along musical streams where flowers like to hide. Every time I stoop to pick one of the little blue or yellow or pink coated fellows I am newly inspired. No wonder lovers first think of flowers to carry their messages back and forth. In such silence they say so much. And what would the poets do without flowers to go to? Listen to Shelley as he tells of a lovely plant that " opened its fan-like leaves to the light, And closed them beneath the kisses of the Night." Or to Wordsworth "To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." Or to Longfellow " the flowers, so blue and golden. Stars,-that in earth's firmament do shine." -No one can be wholly bad who finds beauty in flowers. And how filled with latent inspiration is every flower that blooms. Some of the most beautiful flowers creep up out of the mud and darkness of swamps in the most out-of-the-way places. So may each of us give of what we have sure that it will bear beauty no matter how unpretentious the gift may be. Each of us may grow through the lesson of the flowers.

PULLMAN REQUEST IS ATTACKED BY LABOR CHICAGO, June 11. Union chiefs today attacked the appeal of the Pullman company to the U. S. railroad labor board for a wage reduction, telling

j the board the company's plea was not

legally before the body. Charges of the brotherhood heads were based on the allegations that the Pullman company carried the question direct to the employes, refusing to confer with the recognized union heads. In its request for wage reductions in line with the board's recent orders to 104 Railroads the Pullman company stated it had complied with the Esch-Cum-mins law in submitting the proposal to the men first, and that a majority of the employes rejected it.

He was picked up by the driver of the machine and taken to his home. It is thought he will recover. He is 76 years of age. The buggy was completely demolished.

at first, Lasker told the president, it is understood, that by reason of his lack of acquaintance with shipping affairs, he did nat believe himself qualified. Lasker is a combination of business man, politician and sportsman. He is part owner of the Mitchell Car company, Quaker Oats, Van Camp'B and the Chicago Baseball club. He is the author of the plan that ended the warfare between the baseball leagues last year, and sponsored Judge Landis as chief arbiter.
