The utter collapse of the Klon-
dixie boom has been one of the
significant features of the pres
ent year. While thousands of
poor fellows were deluded into
the belief that in the land of the
frozen north untold riches were to
be had for the seeking, it is a no.
torious fact that but very
small percentage have ever been
able to realize even their mildest
anticipations. Sickness and death
have overtaken many, while
those who have been able to en-
dure the privations and hard
ships are now supplied with a
world of experience and scarcely
enough money to buy a ticket
home. The bubble has burst,
and the lesson is plain. Let we'll
enough alone; make the best of
your opportunities at home;
and you will live longer and hap
pier.

Don't worry your brain trying
to find out how much money
there is in circulation and how
many dollars each person would
have were the money divided
equally among the people. The
money will never be so divided.
The assertion that there is not
enough money to supply the de-
mand is foolish. If you have
anything to buy money with you
will never see the day that you
cannot get as many coined dol
lars of either metal as you have
collateral to put in exchange.

Unjust Taxation.

The subject of unjust taxation
is again being discussed and agi-
tation of it is being resumed by
contention about terms. What
difference does it make whetherit
is called double taxation or the
taxing a man on what he does
not possess Whatever it is it is
generally regarded as a gross in
justice.
A condition stated shows as
fact that a farmer having no
other property has the title to
his farm. 1t is worth $500 and
is mortgaged for $4,000. The
mortgage is assessed on the
$4,000. That is right, because he
owns so much, but it would be OF
no value without his mortgage.
Therefore the value on which he
is assessed is in and a part of the
farm. The farmer has $500 in
the farm and that is all he
possesses in the world. Yet his
taxes are assessed on $4,000.
Now it makes no difference whe-
Their it is said that the $4,000 is
appraised twice or that one pays
on what he does not possess.
The farmer has the equity ($5OO)
and the remaining $4,000 is APP
praised to both the mortgage
and the owner of the equity.
Both cannot possess it at the
same time any more than two
solid bodies can occupy the same
space in the same time.
But by whatever name you call
it the injustice continues and
hundreds of mortgaged farmers
are Juggling the load while in fact
the mortgage has $4,000 in the
farm and the farmer the other
$500.

Computing Interest.

If there is one thing in legisla-
ton more than another that
should be si,nplifed and made
clear it is the rule prescribed for
computing interest. 1t is a rule
so commonly used and applied
to individual and every dav
dealings, and is so prone to fraud,
accident and mistake that il
should be so formulated as to be
within the clear apprehension of
common minds. The present
rule is absolutely unavoidable bv
men of ordinary capacity and ex-
Perience. Probably not one in

their shadows before. There
have been sessions when 1t was
thought important by some TO
have subjects like the abolition of
capital punishment, license laws
against prohibition, and many
Others of like character brought
up and to have the old stereo-
typed arguments pro and con re-
peated. Trusting into legisla-
ton subjects concerning which
the settled opinion of the States
not doubtful ought to be dis
couraged The discussion OF them
in rural lyceums as a matter OF
practice and where it can be done
without expense is alright, but
to create contentious and ques-
tions, the result of which there is
no doubt, at the expense of the
State seems unwise. The ex-
pense of such discussions and the
results are no more nor less than
would follow a discussion of the
question, "If a house burns does
it burn up or DOWN." or IF a
man who has nothing marries a
woman with nothing are her
things his'n or his things her'n? ?"
But it is said that those old
questions are vital ones and the
people have a right to discuss
them in the legislature. That is
true. But what good is accom-
plished by spending $1,000 per
day in discussing propositions of
legislation without the slightest
hope of changing any result
thereby? 70 legislate without
any purpose beyond agitating
some subject is waste of time
and money.
But there is something worse
than all this. 1t is the disturb.
ance of the order of things in.
duced by personal and selfish i'll
terests. 1t is intimated that
there is to be some attempts tC
disturb conditions in respect tC
text books. This is a matter
about the details of which mer
differ and this condition exposes
the Legislature as prey to the
desi gns of book sellers who will
give the state neither rest moi
peace while rivals i'll furnishing
books can disturb each other. A:
soon as the people have been tc
the expense of purchasing books
and begin to settle down to theil
use one or more rivals begi1
with agents, and too often will
money, to disturb the arrange
ment with endeavors to substi
tute Others or to getsome chang
in legislation that will give OPP
portunity for changes and in
creased expense.
Another thing is creating sus
picion among the people. The,
are getting the impression
whether rightfully or not, tina
the creation of new Offices ant
new boards or commissions is in
duced by aspirants for places tt
fill them assisted by a following
of personal friends. It's even sait
now that certain office will b.
created without doubt becaus
the aspirants to it and thei
friends will have influence enough
to secure the passage of an &C
creating the office.
Ofcourse any legislation whic1
has been tested and found not t,
work with justice or harmon
should be changed whenever i
can be done without disturbing
conditions that are we'll enoug
and that will settle down as be
fore and accomplish nothing bu
an expense to the State.

The recent serious illness of the Pope,
who now, well on toward his Goth year, has
brought up with increased vigor the
problem as to whether 1t may be expected
that the next Supreme Pcntiff will be
other than of Italian nationality. 1t is
believed that Leo Kill. for reasons hav-
ing to do with the church's relations with
the Italian government, desires his sue
cessor should not be an Italian; hence his
great encouragement of foreign cardinals
On the other hand, in case of his sudden
death, 1t will be impossible for cardinals
in distant countries like America and
Austria to arrive in Rome in time to be
present at the conclave. This conclave
Of the cardinals must be opened within a
certain number of hours after the Pope's
death, and, once opened, no cardinal not
present can be admitted, and no cardinal
not present can be offered as candidate
to the pontifical throne. This explains
the fact that now for many years the
Pope has constantly summoned cardinals
from distant countries to Rome, under
various pretexts, and proves his sincerity
in his avowed wish, for at no time has he
allowed the Vatican to be without good
percentage of foreign cardinals.

The use of electricity to operate plows
is proposed, and may become feature of
the Twentieth Century agriculture. The
system suggested is not greatly different
from that for steam blowing, which has
been tried, though II may not be said to
be in extensive use, In the case of steam
blowing gang of plows Is drawn across
the field by means Of cable operated by
portable engine, whereas in the electric
system, the motor is mounted on the
piow and travels with it. The motor acts
upon chain fastened at each end to
travelling anchorages at the boundaries of
the field and the chain passes over
sprocket wheel geared to the motor of the
pillow. After furrow has been plowed
the anchorages are moved forward and
the pillow returns. making a new furrow.
The current Is supplied to the motor by
two wires carried across the field ON
either side of the pillow In contact with
trolley wheels. A system of poles de-
scribed as "simple" extends around the
boundaries of the farm and supplies the
current from central powerhouse, and
anchor cars are provided with reels of
wire, so that the machinery can be eln-
ployed in any field.
