We shall not discuss that issue in this editorial. - The purpose of this editorial is to oppose any in crease in taxes for any reason. 'At;the moment, we think Os any cause worthy enough to result m a raise qf taxes in the Town Qf Punn. Only a grave emergency could justify another increase. Sjffemtoers of the city board potted by The Record have-taken the same stand and are expeeted to kill the pros6&l tonight. We congratulate them for such a stand. -©sr present officials proved earlier this year that thejSSJave some consideration for the taxpayers by re ducing the tax rate five cents.

But many mep who ‘possess ap proximately the same techniccal training, still will show wide vari ations in their later success.

Lomr at the roots. A well formed tree may seem more attractive at first glance, but if it doesn’t have adequate roots to support its showy appearance, many of those limbs will die. The roots nourish the tree and determine its later foliage or fruit. In like manner, a man’s past hab its serve as the roots out of which his future will bear fruit. Look at the roots when you hire men! Delve into their past recorcP , of attainment. f Pick meh with adequate mental alertness and technical training, but don’t rely solely on these two characteristics. Many such men become miserable failures in life. And always analyze the wive* of your prospective employess.
