4 great deal OF work is being mapped
ont for the new legislature. and we are
entitled to our share in making suGges-
tions. Firstly, we ought to have an Gu
tirely new revenue law. from top to bot-
tom. The present law is cum mber,ome,
and the state has outgrown it altogether,
1t has been amended and patched up until
it is little more than statutory medley,
so to speak, full of incongruites and alb
sOute neficiencies. Under the pre1eut
law large per cent of the taxable prep
erty of the state, especially in towns and
cities, escapes taxation altogether. In
Jackson county alone there are five hun
dred people or more who pay no taxes at
all There seems to be so much uncer
tainty and so little penal force about it
that county officers who handle the money
settle at convenience, and pay over when
they feel like it. The payment of tnx"s
on personal property seems to bes matter
entirely at the will and option of the tax
payer. If he wants to pay, all right; if
not, he is returned delinquent and SO it
goes. Let us have a new law entirely.
Let it be so framed that it will reach all
property and persons alike. Lot US have
penalties and forfeiture of office for failure
to collect at given time. Put tax COL
lecting on sound business basis, and
make it certain as death. There are
many other suggestions upon the revenue
law that we could make, but enough for
the present. Let the subject be agitated,
that the law may be remodeled and made

When the business men Of u town fail
to advertise extensively, they diminish the
Importance and trade Of the place, and
permit more enterprising localities to take
The latter from them. Although done
for their individual interest, advertisers
should be looked upon by the citizens of
the town where they reside as, in some
sense, public benelactors, and they should
be encouraged accordingly. The merchant
who advertises extensively is worth in his
own town more than forty who never show
themselves in print, and should for this
reason be preferred, assuming that he is,
