Princess Kropotkin writes in Liberty as follows:
" 'A spendthrift is always a sucker—nosucker ever gets his money's worth—andthis goes for governments as well as individuals' " I quote Channing Cox, Boston banker, Republican, ex-governor of Massachusetts—another political gent with whom I've been talking recently in my lookout for ideas of importance to women voters. As I explained a couple of weeks ago, I am lending my ear (on your behalf) especially to Republican voices from the wilderness. I know you hear plenty of Democratic voices speaking for themselves. It is my belief that we ladies- forever interested in justice and gossip- should be told, always, what is being said on both sides.
"Channing Cox thinks we girls don'tknow enough about taxation. He says wefail to realize the cost of it, because mostof us let our menfolk take care of the taxpaying. 'lf you housewives,' he said to me,'kept a piggy bank at home to hold yourfamily tax money, and if you put into itevery pay day the amount of cold cashthat you will be obliged eventually togive the tax collector out of that week'sincome, you'd soon see what high taxationreally means to you.'
"Channing Harris Cox is an immaculately neat, smooth-faced New Englander,with jet-black eyebrows over cool greyeyes. Very genial, I'd call him, but plentyhardheaded. He continued his talk aboutspendthrift psychology. 'lt doesn't makeany difference,' he said, 'whether we stepout and throw our money away personally,or whether we sit back and let our government officials waste it for us. Whenour money is all gone, our headache willbe just as bad either way.'"
Ed Hunter returned from his trip to Germany to see the Winter Olympic Games, and has been much in demand at Rotary and Kiwanis meetings, giving his impressions of the events. Ted Hunter met him when he arrived, but was on crutches, having been injured in practice, so Ted was unable to take part. This however, gave them an opportunity of taking moving pictures of the various contestants, thus studying the different methods and the technique of the world skiers. Ted soon recovered from his injuries, and since the games has been skiing in various parts of the continent. He returned home the first of April.
