THE INDEPENDENT Published ever} Thursday by I THE INDEPENDENT-NEWS CO. incorporated' Publishers of the WALKERTON INDEPENDENT NORTH LIBERTY NEWS LAKEVILLE STANDARD CLEM DeCOUDRES, Business Mgi W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. * isntered at the postoffice at Walkerton as second class matter. January 19, 1922. The sales tax, which has been receiving considerable investigation and study by leading statesmen and economists of the United States, is regarded by many as the right remedy for the cure of some of our taxation evils. It may have some faults — most tax measures do have —but it is perhaps as fair and equable as any other plan that has been suggested. The rich and the poor would be treated with the same degree of fairness with a sales tax law in operation. -The rich would pay the biggest share of taxes, as the higher the price of a commodity the greater would be the tax. In Canada where they have a sales tax law in force the people are well satisfied with it and believe it to be a fair and just measure. Premier Lloyd George celebrated his 59th birthday Jan. 18. The years seem to count lightly with this remarkable man—or doubled-geared galvanic battery—as most men halt his age would give way under the overwhelming weight of duties' and responsibilities which he has stood up under with apparent ease for years. Senator New will open his campaign at Indianapolis Jan. 20 for reelection to the U. S. Senate. Former Senator Beveridge will also be in the ring and will be Senator New’s strongest opponent. Each man has a large factional following. Crime in Chicago decreased during 1921, according to the police records. When Chicago shows an improvement in crime the rest of the country need not despair. It Pays to Advertise (Logansport Pharos-Tribune.) The.best results I ever obtained advertising in the P. T.

On Moqdaj' morning he came walking in of his own accord, and saved the reward.

ttomdcwn ^tldps^ “SMALL HOMES MAKE CITY” Testimony of Expert Who is Warn Advocate of Building Zone Idea During Town's Youth. “Make a city of the owners of small homes and you will have a well-run city.” This was the verdict of Edward W. Basset, counsel of the zoning committee of the New York board of estimate and father of the zoning laws, after an exhaustive review of city development under the building zone system. ‘Before the days of zoning,” said he, “the head of a family would be forced two or three times to sell his private home because he was pushed out by advancing stores or apartment houses. Then he would usually move to New Jersey, Long Island or Westchester, and New York would lose a good citizen. A home owner takes a lively interest in local improvement and neighborhood welfare. Until New York adopted the zoning plan, there was no encouragement for small home owners inside of the city limits. Now the owner of a small home is bettei protected in mitny parts than if he goes out into suburban villages. “Small detached homes are springing up rapidly in all of the outlying boroughs, especially in Brooklyn and Queens. The home owner sees that in residence location he is protected against invasion of stores, small sac tories and garages. In the I> and E districts he is safe from large tenements and apartments. He is willing to put his earnings in the equity of a small home and pay off his second mortgage by installments because the zoning plan has lessened the dangers that would wipe out ids home equity.” ALWAYS TIME WELL SPENT “Cleanup Week,’’ as an Institution, Should Be a Feature of Every Town and Village. Cleanliness, as we have been reliably Informed, is next to godliness. And community cleanliness is just as important as individual cleanliness, if we are to have a pleasant, healthful and decent city to live in. Milwaukee has always occupied an enviable position among the cities of the country for its civic tidiness, and the annual institution known as “cleanup week" has helped materially to this happy state of affairs. We have been having a salutary “cleanup" in re per t of the moral surroundings of the city. A good deal of rubbish has been dragged out and done away with and stray corners are still being explored ami tidied up with excellent results in so far' as the moral atmosphere is concerned. —Milwaukee Sentinel.

FOILING SMALL BOY I "ir Because small boys do not seem to be able to refrain from throwing stones, the Los Angeles park commission has protected the glass covered rules and regu ations by heavy wire screens.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Practical City Planning. There is no mystery whatever about city planning. It is only the application of common sense business methods to the development of a city. Too frequently city planning has been understood in this country as relating merely to the esthetic side of city improvement and city development. We must get rid of that notion. The element of beauty, of course, must never be overlooked, but it would be more to the point to fix as the goal of a city plan the idea of making the city a more practical city. Real city planning must inevitably deal more with the practical than with the beautiful. It must aim for better and more attractive living conditions. —Charles F. Coffin. — Billions Invested in Homes. There are approximately 0,000,000 families in the United States living in their own homes. This represents an aggregate investment of $30,000,000,000, since builders and contractors declare that the average American home is valued at $5,000. At 5 per cent the American home owners are therefore paying out about $1,500,000,000 for the privilege of enjoying life under roofs that belong to them. The 5 per cent will easily take care of repairs, taxes and interest on the invest ment. “Say Less and Do More.” If we could only make our hands move as actively as our tongue, if we could say less and do more for each other’s good, not alone would every home be happier, but communities would be greatly enriched thereby.— John Wanamaker. • . - Must Publish Reports.
