SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1923. If political cani^nlxni! have no other virtue they convince a certain group of men that to be pleasant and affable is a most becoming attitude to. show toward ones fellow men.

That the term iconoclast, once a household word In this country, has a strangely unfanviiar ring today nny be n significant indication that a period of idol-smashing has been succeeded by a new era of construc tive thought. It may mean that men are not so much interested in finding fault with what has been done, as they lye in arriving at a better way ct accomplishing the desired end. or accomplishing more with the same mans. Someway we feel that in proposing the much discussed sales Itix the legislature has exemplified this spirit. It takes no very greai amount, of wisdom or wit to hurl de nunciations against our tax systems all of them, but to devise a menus ci meefittg an ever increasing demand for the expenditure of public money without doing injury to industry or commerce or some phase of activity, is a task that challenges the best in tellect in any country. The .legisla ture did something and before we condemn them for it let’s study the situation and see if we have some thing better to offor.
