As much immigration is scared away from us by the tax rate as by the raw-head- bloody bones of malaria. It would appeal more strongly to capital seeking in- vestment to know that the tax rate was one per cent. instead of three per cent.

Jones has always exercised this power wisely, but we can agree that many people are sent to the county farm, saddled with a fine and cost bill more commensurate with the offense committed. It may be also admitted that abuses are permitted by the contractor, and prisoners are not always treated as humanely as they should be.
