All dormitories are filled, find the campus pre.sents a very busy scMie as the new year’s work begins under a most auspicious outlook. Clinton welcomes the return each year of the college student body. The presence of- the.se young men gives the town a renewed flavor. The college is an invaluable asset, enriching as it does, the moral, cultural, social and business life of the city. , The Chronicle extends a welcome bath to the .students who have re turned and to those Who have come for the first time. We hope that your THE TAX TANGLE The subject of taxation ^ is upper most in the minds of all who have any thing that can be taxe^ It will inev itably become an^even more absorbing subject of everyday, discussion. We seldom find two persons in agreement on this matter of taxation, expept on one point There is unani mous agreement that something is wrong wtih our tax systems, local, state *and national. With that general agreement as a starting point, it seems 'as if it ought to be possible to arrive somewhere, but instead of get ting better, the whole tax situation seems Vo get worse. . What is fundarpentally wrong with" pl®^ come down to the big Clark it is, of course, politics. Our political ^-unien which will be hell at the home system is built on taxes. Partin are yore corp;^ sp^dent, mr. mike the jappemeea beetle and the horse fly have again appeared, ip large num bers in our naborhood. gnata and chitty-dids are allao here to pester us; the former gets in our eyes ahd our gravy and our butter, while the latter chirps all night under the chips be hind our bedroom^ and keeps us awake till 8 or 9 o’clock p. m. the gowerment will be asked to send pizen for these varmints. <^v6rboddy else seems to be getting along o. k. except holsum moiore who has-the sleeping sickness.

NO Tl.ME FOR TAX-RAISING The announcement, that the local .board of .school trustees has filed an application with the PWA for a $100,- 000 loan to erect a new school build- in4r in the district comes as a com-1 plete surprise since it is generally un derstood that with the enlargement made last year of one of the buildings eaters.

More boys and girls are getting an educa tion at public expense than ever be fore in the history of ihis country. There is nothing to compare anywhere with the public school sys^m" of Americar both in the number ^^oung people that it serves and in the fen eral excellence of the instruction given. There are certain fundamental prin ciples which never change, on which more emphasis ought to be laid. One ia that all work is honorable. The hdbit of work has to >be learned young if it is ever learned at all. And it should begin at home, but few par ents any longer encourage their chil dren in this direction. Rather, they are encouraged at loafing and frolic- which with so many has become Cbo order of the day. TTie child who geta through high school without un derstanding that truth and honor and honest work are of more importance than algebra and football has got off io a poor start in the world. We ara genuinely sorry for any boy or girl who goes oi^t into the world expecting to get something for noth ing, or who takes it for granted that $he world owes hnm or her a living. One of our paramount troubles today is that thousands are under this false ‘ delsiaioo—holding their haiyds out ,and saying ‘^iaune*’without being willing to willtiit ratam- .
