which he. in common vi h his neigh
horS. possessed such a vital interest
No sane man viii deny the assertions
that the public debt i. heavy burden :
that to meet their obligation as tax
Iayers is absolutely impossible in many
instances; that the party in power
has been neglcctiul and profiigate +;
that these officers have not used good
judgment in many matters that have
increased the tax lien upon property.
1t is likewise conceded that the only
reliable hope OF reform was in the ex-
change of these agents, who have
shown their utter incompetence, for
men OF ordinary business probity, who
would go into office with the duty OF
economy emphasized by vote for
that specific form OF service. Still the
face of the returns show that the peo.
ple fail to CRASH the situation. or realiz-
ing it. are willing to take promises of
reform which have been so often
broken that in ordinary business they
would be rejected with scorp.
Granted the truth of this proposi.
ton, how is it explained9 A few sug-
gestions NAV lead to a plausible solu-
ton of the problem. The community
is made IN of producers and con-
sumers; those who nav the bills that
others contract; those who weld from
their accretions of labor their propor-
ton for support of our governmental
system and those who absorb this
product of labor in salarie. and fees Of
Office; the worker and tho drone AZ
exemplified in the beehive, the sym-
Dol of industry. In those communi-
ties controlled by the instinct of Na.
ture, however. the latter element is
kept within bounds. being at intervals
killed or driven from the hive. No
such wise provision ha. been made IN
keep down the surplus of human
drones. The Estate building" and
the court house afford. in this com.
munity. a parallel Of this idea Of the
" absorbing" element of the commu-
nity. represented nv the ,Irones. Int
