I
OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART >
The Pet Column
Edited by Mr*. H. Reynold*
Happy New Year, everybody, and
many of them! Won’t you Join us in
our resolution to make 1926 a "Be
Kind” year? A kind thought and a
kind act each day, if not many kind
thoughts and acts. Kindness not only
to each other, but to the poor dumb
creatures God has given us to care for.
Our beloved President and his wife
set a splendid example of kindness to
animals, and the White House pets
are companions, treated as such. In
fact, the President’s strongest hold on
our hearts is his absolute sense of
justice and forbearance, and the toler
ance which he urges so sincerely and
frequently is but kindness after all.
Many Palisadians will remember
their privilege in having Edwin Mark
ham and his wife as neighbors years
ago and it will perhaps interest them
to read the latest of Mr. Markham’s
many poems devoted to the interests
of the "under dog.’* Mr. and Mrs.
Markham are most active workers
along humane lines and have accom
plished much good.
THE FATE OF THE FUR FOLK
Edwin Markham in Ladles Home Journal
Early, while the east is pale.
The trapper is out on the frozen trail;
Cruel traps are on his back,
Snares to line the woodland track;
Day by day he links the chain
Of these grim machines of pain,
In whose merciless iron Jaws
Little fur folk die, because
Men must high on Fortune ride,
Women have an hour of pride.
Squirrel, ermine, sable, mole,
Out for food from cliff and hole;
Muskrat, silver fox and mink,
At the stream for evening drink—
All are tempted to this hell
That some bank account may swell.
Ladles, do you think of this—
Up whsre tempests howl and hiss,
where the folk of hill and cave
Scream with no one there to save?
Do you see them crunched and lone,
Steel teeth biting into bone?
Ladies, did you ever see
An otter gnawing to get free?
Knawing what? His fettered leg.
For he has no ■friend to beg.
Do you see that tortured shape
Knaw his leg oft to escape?
Have you seen these creatures die
While the bleeding hours go by— . '
These poor mothers in the wood
Robbed of joy and motherhood!
Do you, when at night you kneel.
See them in their traps of steel—
Not alone by pain accurst,
But by hunger and by thirst?
Do you hear their dying cries
When the crows pick out their eyes?
Yes, sometimes in dreams you hear
Yells of agony and fear
From the snare of iron teeth,
With that panting thing beneath.
For all night, where storms are whirled.
Groans are curdling the white world—
Groans of mothers dying so,
Groans of little ones that go
Homeless, hungry in the snow.
Ladles, are the furs you fear
Worth the hell of this despair?

Mr. Chas. T. Logan, Editor,
Palisade, N. J.
My Dear Mr. Logan:
You are to be congratulated on the
“Pet Column,” which I saw in The
Palisadlan’s issues of December 11
and 18. This is a very excellent idea
and is bound to be productive of much
good in the way of instilling in young
minds kindness, justice and fair play
for animals. Human education is sore
ly needed in our schools today.' You
are doing a splendid and far-reaching
work by carrying such a feature as
the"‘Pet Column,” and the pity is that
more newspapers do not fall in line.
Many many thanks for The Palisa
dian’s praiseworthy example. Yours
very truly,
MISS MARIE THENEN.
Mrs. H. Reynolds, Editor of “The Pet
Corner” of The Palisadian:
The Maywood Band of Mercy send
New Year’s greetings to all the little
friends of animals who are interested
in reading the interesting little arti
cles In the "Pet Corner.” The Band
of Mercy Is a group of young people
between the ages of eight and four
teen years. They are a branch of the
Humane Education Society of Boston,
Mass The first Band of "Mercy was
founded ia England about a hundred
years ago. Mr. George Angell started
the “Bands’/ in America about 1880,
and now there are over 4,000,000 chil
dren enrolled. The object of the B. of
M. is to protect all animals and birds—
in short, to be kind, do a good deed
each day and be kind not only to ani
mals, but to each other. Our May
wood Band was organized almost five
years ago, and since then the children
have cared for 406 dogs and cats, in
eluding a horse, a calf, rabbits, bird:
and chickens. Just at present the ad
visor, Mrs. Andreae, has charge of e
dear little “tommie cat” about foui
months old. Is there some one amon;
the young readers of the “Pet Corner’
who will give this little cat a home?
I’m looking for a master kind and eve:
true,
If I name the person I hope it may be
you.

SUR
TAXES AND PAVING CHARGES
-«>r ■■■■t—r: swfr
Public Service Railway Company pays its full share of taxes:
FIRST:
SECOND:
THIRD:
FOURTH:
A franchise Tax of five per cent, of its gross receipts.
A Tax in lieu of the personal property tax, assessed upon gross
receipts at the average state tax rate.
A Tax upon its real estate. '
Other state and Federal taxes.
In the first ten months of 1925, these taxes totaled $1,863,517, while the
amount of operating revenue was $17,523,1811
Taxes take in the average year some ten per cent, of operating revenue,
which means that all the fares collected on approximately thirty-six days out
of the year go into the public treasury.
So that when on top of this vast sum, a charge-for paving which is of no
value to those who use the cars is imposed, the revenue left for the payment of
operating expenses is seriously curtailed.
And when the company is operating on so low a base fare as Five Cents,
not only does the charge for paving work a hardship on the company, but it
also interferes with its ability to render adequate service.
It is because the company finds it impossible under present conditions, to
bring the cost of service within the limits set by the revenue received, that it is
asking public cooperation in securing:
Further Coordination of Car and Bus Service*
Better Traffic Regulation.
Relief from Paving Taxes.
Such measures, if adopted, will reduce expenses and help to save the
Five Cent Fare. . 1
