NAM STREET..

The people of this city have waited
40 years for the state to fix Main
street. The citizens living on that
street do not propose to wait 40
years more. Something must be done.
The resident property holders along
that street are getting tired and pa
thence has ceased to be . virtue with
them, and they intend to have a
change. They insist that something
be done. Perhaps if the city would re.
open Main street through the capital
grounds the state would wake up.
That property vas given to the state
upon the condition that the state
would keep Main street in repair.
We insist that the city has the power
to force the state to comply with its
contract or it forfeits the property
that it acquired under it. One thing
is certain, something must be done,
or the people owning property on
Main street will proceed TO protect
themselves.

city should make him its champion
in its effort to get beyond the con-
fines Of old times and old timers. TO

to 60 forward means progress; that
the new life that this city has felt in
the past four years has done much
for it, is conceded by our enemies /;
that much remains to be done 10 ad-
mitted by u friends. Thus we are
confronted with the question Of a

H E SYSTEM.

The extraordinary fact that the
combined intelligence of mill.
ions OF people has been unable to de.
wise Il just system of general taxation
is surpassed only by the sufferance
Of a fee system that Is p~erversive of
every principel of fair dealing and
the honest administration of justice.
There may be soinc mystic reason,
| some dark and unbelievable depth
to the question of general taxation
beyond the understanding of the
human intellect, but no such reason
exists for the existence or continue
ton Of the fee system. For an intel
ligent people, who assert that gov
ernments arc instituted among men
for their protection, the system is its
grosest libeler. 1t is a system Of
petty oppression, and if injustice,
such as n might expect to find in a
country to which he owes no alleg.
lance, but not in the land of the true
and brave. The creation of q judic-
ial tribunal that must depend upon
it's "convictions'' for its fees is nom
American, non-democratic, and be-
longs to q barbarous age. When that
tribunal is forced to discriminate
against the state by giving it a fine of
81 and forced to convict in order to
secure 50 "costs'' for the court and
the officers, the system becomes q
disgrace to the people who tolerate
it. 1t forces the citizen into q tri-
bunal where conviction is certain re-
gardless of all mitigating circum-
stances. The court and officers are
forced to do it in selfdefense-it is
the only hope for remuneration for
services rendered. 1t is asking q
great deal, to expect equal and exact
Justice under such conditions. We
do not censure the officers, because
it is not their fault. The law allows
them no compensation except such
as they eur in the manner indi'
Gated. They try to do right, but the
law does not permit them to act as q
free agent but forces them to con.
slider their self interest in every case.
This tax and hardship falls upon the
Door, those who can least afford to
pay. The tribunal, instead of being
a court of justice, becomes a per-
sonal court of i~njustice-by opera
ton of law-the state itself being
guilty of expressing its citizen. Year
in and year out this same system
has been permitted to grow, without
| check or hindrance. If the state can
not afford to pay for the administra.
ton of its laws it can less afford to
continue the present system. If the
laws are worth enforcing they should
be enforced right.
