A FEMALE SURPLUSAGE It is hard for Americans to realize that there are places in the civilized world where women so outnumber men that any kind of a man is as welcome as the flowers in May, and perhaps more so. Here in America our sexes are about evenly divided and few men are embarassed by the importunities of lonely women. ' * England, however, has many districts where men are virtually as scarce as hen's teeth. The war wiped out so many of the men that the normal flow of population has not restored the proper balance to the communities. Thus, the small town of Wallasay, in Cheshire, is planning a "matrimonial ball." It is concerned over the problem of its 2,000 surplus women. --.. And to this ball all of England's unattached young men are invited there to take their choice of a wife. The town has been klad by the Mayor as "England's best marriage market' and he recently advised all eligible men to pass their vacations there. ---- mills. There has been an increase in the buying of woolen goods, showing that this industry is beginning to recover from the recent severe depression. Then, too, in the shoe industry,. payrolls have shown a moderate but encouraging increase. _ __.In the middle Atlantic states but little change has occurred in the past month or so. Fall business is expected to remain at about the present level although the decline in the volume of new building contracts is an unfavorable development here. ' ~And do not imagine that the women disapprove of this effort to get them married, for they are heartily in favor of it. As a matter of fact when the mayor became flooded with letters from men in all parts of the country the women descended upon him in a deluge, begging to be put on the correspondence list so that they might meet available men without delay. . This sounds comic to us and it has its Clement of farce, but indeed it is a sad state of affairs. Here in America most women, if they stay single, do so from choice. But here, in one town, are 2,000 women, hungry for their own homes, the affection of a husband, children--everything that the normal married existence holds out for a woman. Here are 2,000 women leading unnatural, unsatisfactory,. barren lives--not from choice, but because they cannoi help themselves. They want to love and be loved, to fulfill their normal mission in life. No wonder they are to have a matrimonial ball. Let us hope it is completely successful. i o Activity in the Great Lakes states is practically unchanged. It is here that a good volume of fall business may be expected. The same forecast. holds good for the Middle west states, although the 1926 crop rciuwns will influence matters greatly there. This year's income in these states will be smaller than In the New England states the volume of buying has declined to a slight extent with an outlook, however, for some improvement in the leading industries. Sales of cotton goods are for the first time in months in excess of the output of the The small, cotton crop and the hurricane will be a disgurb-- ing element in the South. The Pacific coast, however, is really at a boom level. Excellent conditions prevail there and the opinion is freely expressed that the famous "California confidence" will spread to other states and thus to some extent counteract the tendency toward depression now clearly to be seen on the business horizon. THE STATUS OF BUSINESS . An analysis of business conditions in the various sections of the country will serve in large measure to disprove any theory of a marked depression in business. But also such an analysis will indicate without doubt that there will be no marked advance in the status of business, either. In other words, the business world can expect to just about hold its own during the fall season with a great deal of confidence for a spring boom, following a slightly sub--normal winter period. _ The Illincis Chamber of Commerce recently took a referendum vote of its members on the subject of the proposed amendment. A circular was sent to each member giving argu-- ments both for and against the amendment together with a voting card. Of several thousand cards received, 75 per cent were opposed to the amendment. % .--_THE NEW TAX AGREEMENT ~--_"Do the people of Illinois want a state income tax in addition to the federal income tax and all other taxes," is the query put forth by the Illinois Chamber-- of Commerce in a statement regarding the proposed new tax amendment to the state consti-- tiution. "If so," continues the statement, "one way to get it is to vote for the new tax amendment on November 2. --_*The Illinois® constitutions of 1818, 1848 and 1870 do not contain the word income with reference to taxation," says the statement. "The Supreme Court of Illinois has never ruled on the question whether the present constitution does orq;('loes not permit an income tax. No bill has ever passed the Illinois state legislature providing an income tax. The proposed amendment specificially provides that the state legislature may pass laws levying a tax on incomes. Many who favor a state income tax G@eclare the legislature will consider a favorable vote on the pending amendment as an order to pass an income tax law. Therefore, those who do not want a state income tax should vote against the amendment." "Let's Know Detroit" courses are offered in the academic high schools of Detroit by the vocational educa-- --_-- The statement further declares that if the amendment is adopted the legislature could levy the present tax on real estate and personal property and in addition levy a tax on the incomes received from farms, lots, buildings, stocks of merchandise, implements of labor, etc. . The legislature could also lavy a tax on wage workers and those of small salaries as well as surtaxes on individuals, corporations and other business institutions.

It was about the most crude politi-- cal somersault within the memory of Lake county politicians. > Now Editor Billy has the temerity to accuse States Attorney Smith of a "fancy back somersault" because the latter, after indicating an in-- tention of supporting Col. Frank L. Smith, primary nominee of the Re-- publican party, has decided he can-- not do so in view of the disclosures resulting from an investigation of candidate Smith's methods in that campaign, and which are responsi ble for a like decision on the part of thousands of other prominent and leading Republicans in Tilinois.
