The Higbland Park Pregs PAGE EIGHT Published weekly by The Udell Printing Co. at Highland Park, Lake Copnty Entered as second Class tmatter March 1, 1911, at the post office at High land Park, Tllinois, under the Act of March 8, 1879. y e k e‘ â€"| THE TAX MEASURE, t nes. Nes _ Emasculated by the lower house, the Melion tax measure is now before the senate, and unless this body is more actuated by the welfare of the country than by political exigency, act probably will be further amended and rendered less effective by the upper house.~ By | students ‘of economics everywhere| the Mellon bill in the original form is regarded as the best tax measure ever presented' toâ€"congress, and if the country is to be benéfited by this product of the careful thought and investigation of the nation‘s best tam experts, who have thoroughly s ‘died the conditions which itlg framed to meet, it is time to urge upon senators action in support of the original Mellon bill. Every voter who wants to see taxes reduced in the proper manner and at the same time to insure continued and increased prosperity for everybody, should write the two senators from Illinois reâ€" questing them to restore the Mellon bill to its original form and work for its passage in conference. shslter ie B Congress will have before it soon a bill to amend and distort the present transpoi tionui: which was passedtbfi . the railroads of the country a basis upon which to recover fror the disastrous effects of govern control during the war. The transportation act is regarded as a good law and is working out fairly well, but sufficient time has not elapsed since it went into force to give the railroads an opportunity to test it fully or to enable the country to determine absolutely whether orâ€" not it is best fitted to transportation needs. Anything that handicaps transportation in a great country like ours hampers business and hinders prosperity. . It is believed that congress by political jugâ€" gling with the transportation act is likely to cause such results as have been caused heretofore when the railroads have (been mbde\;;itical playthings: Many a demagogue has sought pffice or reâ€"eléction by insistant persecution of the railroads and qther big interests. It looks ‘like history was about to repeat in this connection. and it is time to call a halt. fi:etioml transportation and national prosperity have too long n batted about fér political effect by this type of officeâ€"seeker and officeâ€"holder. It is time to give the other side an inning. Let the railroads htve a nce to give the transportation act a.fair trial, so that the caountry may determine accurately the effect of its operation on bysiness : prosperity. ‘ Annual township and city: elections are held next month in most communities, and in April also comes the primary election to nominats county and state candidates. Next fall the country elects a president and many congressmen and senators. It is a sy year in political circles, and every citizen who wants good %fl\ent should interest himself and herself in the iss of the day. It is a patriotic duty not only to vote, but to inform oneself upon the existing political issues and conditions, so that we vote intelligently. : & . ;'fngnry citizen fully understood the inside history of &veryi "movement" that appeals for his support, he would be astounded at the amount of dangerous propaganda concealed behind many iof themi; if every citizen knew just what was back of every soâ€" called "scandal" in government, he would realize that political jealousy and political and financial aspirations too often have more to do with the alleged “se?mation" than any desire to benefit the country or save it from disgrace. Je | <â€" The more our citizens inform themselves jupon: governmental and political questions, the more familiar they become with the inside workings of this thing we call politics, the better able they will be to form their own opinions and the more intelligently they will be :’blé to vote upon candidates and issues; Don‘t take anybody‘s or. any newepaper‘s opinion on these things ; have opinions of your.own, but before acting upon ‘them be sure that they are well founded and logically developed. Educate yoursgelf on these things, for only by education can a dépwutic form of government improve and endure. ~Study, learn and form&our own opinions and then vote those opinions.‘ This course followed by ‘a majority of voters would soon establfsh‘ the _cleanes? and most beneficial government the world has ever seen. a NUMBER 2 Now is the time to let us repair your electrical fixtures and appliances or put in those base plugs you have so long wanted. â€" se \ Perhaps you will want new fixtures.: We will be glad to show you samples of the latest ifixtures in your own home at your own convenience. . e Vetter Electric Company It will be to your advantage to have this class of work done now before the spring rush. <Cs% Let us figure with you on anything you may desire 414 McDaniels Ave. in our line. e v'-"“"‘fi Ju-E x!':’u‘ GIVE THE RAILROADS A CHANCE Electrical Contracting and Jobbing REPAIR WORK NEATLY DONE Telephone H.
