REMEMBER FACES ON NOTES
If Kandlere of Mono/ Would - Do
That It Would Discourage Coun

the federal reserve banknotes, writes
Carl II. (Jet*, tin authority on the sub
ject of forgery ami Counterfeiting, In
Hotel Management.
"Ninety per cent of the money In

and others who handle large suma of
money would memorize the pnrtralta
which appear on the different denom
inations of federal reserve banknotes,
there would Ik* very little passing of
raised currency.
"This ought to he easy because the

currency with each denomination so
distinctly different that everyone
could quickly tell the difference he

He explains, too, /that counterfeit

ease with which counterfeiters are
able t(w pass raised currency and also
because they are today devoting them

Judging by Looks.
I was spending my summer vacation
selling books. I hurl a different speech
for each member of th* family. There
was one for father, one for mother,
one for the daughter, and one for the
son. One day I rapped at a "floor and
was greeted by an elderly hooking wom
an who would tip the scales at -00
plus. She ushered me in, where I met.
a slender young wojnan of fifteen sum
mers. I began my canvass to both of
them, but addressed my appeal to the
elder. The young girl gave me an en
thusiastic hearing and wanted the book
badly, whereupon I made an especially
ardent appeal to the other to buy th??
book for her daughter. She listened
for a while and then curtly Informed
me that she was a nineteen-year-old
sister to the younger girl# I missed
the sale. ? Kxchange.
How Snow Complicates.
When two feet of snow foil in the (
neighborhood of .Boston recently the 1
effect on business was serious. The 1
blockade was felt more keenly than)
would have been the case twenty years j
ago, for then automobiles and trucks ,
were not depended upon for the move- 1
inent of trafllc. A Boston historian j
recalls thnt two hundred aiVd six years [
a?o In February snow fell to the depth
of 'JO feet in the Boston district. He
assures the Yankees that this sort of
thing Is certain to occur again, and
wants to know how they will be able to
keep going when all of their move
ments are effected by the aid of gas*
line. The absence of heavy snows Is.
in fact, one Important Industrial ad ? j
vantage which the western str.tes will,
utilize more and more In the future. ?

How to Eliminate
All Taxes
F
OLKS are funny when it comes to running their
? common business. You think you run your busi
ness pretty well. I think 1 run my business pretty
well. We all like to think we run our own individual
business about as well at It can be run, We live
pretty well and all said and done we are all pretty
successful Yet we complain bitterly about taxes.
i Taxes consume much of our income which, could
we use it for ourselves, would greatly multiply our
J>leasure, increase our comfort and embellish our joys
n life.
Why should we have burdensome taxes? We don't
have to have them unless we want them. We com
plain about taxes as if they were being imposed by
some tyrannical imperialistic master wno has us by
tb6 throat and at whose feet we are helpless.
What is the government? The government is you
and I, ? we Who think ourselves so deucedly smart,
such clever business men. While we boast of our
ability to run our individual business we complain
against our utter inability to wisely administer our
common business.
Contemplate the post office. With all its faults it
is a wonderful institution, ? more wonderful than any
private business. It is our common business. Your
business'^nd my business is absolutely dependent upon
it, and we run it so well t]pat we can send a letter
from Chicago to San Francisco for two cents. If the
American Express Company were operating the post
office, you would pay a good quarter for the delivery
of that letter, aqct don't you forget it.
When it comes to handling the big; package, our
actual trade, we hand it over to a private company
that is conducting our . common business and ^
us for It Tn? railroads conduct our commS
business We do not pm thii which is OUR b52
Wc let private interest here impose UidU
Evert bu?ine? in th. United s,.,^
deuondent on the railroad as it it on the pu
nfticc We complain about freight rate when the
roads' go to the Interstate Commerce Commit
J?d insist they havo a right to dividends.
We give away franchises, recklessly, and then
do not Insist on the contract with the recipients ^
franchise being enforced. < ,
New York City standi on an island but lutle mJ
than * mile wide and about fifteen miles long. That
little island is so crowded with people that its gtf
es ate has the highest alsesiment of any land }* ?*
world. And yet if New York City had not gbt*
^way her water front, ahe would earn enough mow,
today from dockage tolls to obliterate all land t
She wasn't smart enough to do it. And the Ne*
York business man thinks he's the smartest enr.
What are you doing in your town that ftuy be ji*
as foolish?
Thire are certain business enterprises upon which
every other business ia wholhr dependent. If wt
were smart enough to own and operate the b?fo*|
that is the common denominator of all indmdm
business we would be able to conduct our individual
business better and we could run tha common bust,
ncss with a profit for US that would wipe out the
tax assessment about which we complaui^ud which,
because we are poor business men, we have imp^d
upon ourselves. > ? 4'
