FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1920 Beginning The Elimination Process Prospective candidates, men whose ears have been sharply attuned to hear the voice of the people calling them to serve, have heen so numer- ous as to suggest a lack of proper i material for the honor of presidential; nomination. That most of the furor | has been superficial, however, is evi-i deuced in the fact that only two candidates for consideration as An unmarried man or woman, whether or not he or she has de- pendents above the exemption age, not physically or mentally unfit to be self-supporting, is not, under the in- come tax law, granted the exemption that a married man with an able bodied wife is able to claim. These bachelors and spinsters have .a real foundation for objection to inequal- ities which the care-free and unmar- ried have not. Public opinion is in a fluid state just now on all great matters that pertain to the national well-being. Almost anybody will admit that the old order is not suited to the new conditions, but nobody knows just what to do about it. A beginning to- wards a new realization of duty to the nation might be based upon a movement to penalize those who de- cline to accept the responsibility of children, and to reward those who are rearing families. A special tax on bachelors, a similar tax on the mar- ried and childless, would be a bit of justice that could not reasonably be objected to on the one hand and would be appreciated on the other. The Simple Cure Sane habits of living will prevent most of the ills to which the flesh is heir, oven if it won't cure them. j Sane habits of living will cure those i ills under which the economic body ! of the whole world is suffering to- j day. A general elimination of ex- - . ... , ., .,..â-  , , , ! travagance is the cure, not only in presidential possibilities have reached h ' , -i . • i c r u i this country, but in all the countries that point of assurance of a chance • \ , ;,' ,x1 of success to provide themselves, or to be provided, with mailing lists and campaign committees through Few people like the home remedy when there is to be had something called by a high sounding name that of the world, not more currency with which to encourage spending, nor more credit to discourage economy. which publicity matter is being sent out in the interests of their can- didacy. Governor Frank O. Lowden, the favorite son of Illinois, is being pre- sented through his campaign com- mittee, headquarters in the Audi- torium hotel in Chicago, in press sheets setting forth the record of good service and administrative ability that has marked his term as governor of Illinois. Major General Leonard Wood, through his friends in their headquarters across the street in the Congress, has an im- posing array of publicity matter ready for use, an array in which the weekly news letter, pictorial plate release, and the press bulletin are offered to such newspapers as are ready to contribute to bringing his qualifications before their readers. It is an encouraging sign that the situation is beginning to clear of the multiplicity of candidates when cam- paign committees get under way. It is one thing to believe in one's popu- larity in a general sort of way and quite another thing to persuade men to organize a campaign committee, to put up money for a publicity cam- paign and to be able to supply that committee with material that war- rants circulation in the press of the "nation. Only men who have a con- siderable following can be counted upon to take their presidential chances seriously enough to go as far as Governor Lowden and Major General Wood have gone to estab- lish their claim to consideration when the convention meets in June.

As a result we neglect, or ignore, those minor ills until they reach a point at which they demand attention and then we pay handsomely to be told what to do. Much this same condition exists in our financial condition today. We know what we ought to do but we don't do it. We go right along in the easy and pleasant way, unmind- ful of the occasional twinges that foretell trouble, waiting until that time comes when we shall have passed the point of individual cure. It's a silly thing for a nation of intelligent people to do. CIGARETTE OUTCLASSES CIGAR AS THE NATIONAL SMOKE A Bachelor Tax The recent suggestion of the desir- ability of imposing the greater part of the burden of taxation upon the bachelor portion of the public is not received with any great enthusiasm by those who would qualify as tax- able material. It was not to be ex- pected that it would. There ought, of course, to be spe- cial dispensation of the burden of special taxation in the case of the married man with a family. He is performing a service to the state that deserves recognition in a prac- tical sort of way, and the state should Cigar types of tobacco are produc- ed in New England. New York, Penn- sylvania, the Miami Valley in Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida. Of the entire tobacco crop of 1,389.000,000 pounds in 1919, the cigar types con- stituted about one-sixth, and the chewing and smoking, snuff, and ex- port types most of the remainder, according to the Bureau of Crop Estimates. United States Department of Agriculture. The cigar types are heavy producers per acre, the aver- age for 1919 being 1,265 pounds, while the other types had an average of 679 pounds. Before 1919 the average farm price of the cigar types of tobacco was al- wavs above that of the other types. as a whole, but in that year the extra- ordinary European demand for to- bacco other than the cigar classes and the immensely increased use of to- bacco for cigarettes raised the aver- age farm price of the composite chewing, smoking, snuff, and export types to 41.3 cents on December 1, or nreatly above the price of 21.9 cents for cigar tobacco. Indeed, the latter i c'ass of tobacco had a lower price than in either 1918 or 1917, not be- cause of increase of production, hut because of weaker demand.
