THE CreSset asks us to state where
in it misrepresented IN reference to the
controversy growing out of our occupy
ing lot |, Kansas Avenue east, in this
city. Briefly, the Cresset misrepresent-
ed in making the following statements:
First, that Barber county owns the lot;
second, that the INDEX has not paid a
cent for the use of the lot; third, that
the lot was worth $1,000 to the county
when the building was erected; fourth.
that the INDEX IS under obligations to
Barber county. The Cresset also gives
publicity to falsehood in last weeks
issue in saying we have not been paw
ing between $50 to $50 in taxes eyery
year. If the editor will call we will
produce the tax receipts and show him
the entries on the cash book. We
might remark, incidentally, that the
INDEX has paid, during the past sever.

the war tax would be a fiat

THE Manila censorship is one OF the

WORD comes from Missouri

WORD comes from Missouri
and Texas that both of those
states have passed laws
against trusts" but the said
trusts continue to do the same
old business at the old stand.
We have so far not succeed
ed in reading those claws"
but we believe we have good
reason to doubt their strin-
gency. Yet the most strin-
gent restrictive law which
could be enacted would not
be equal to the occasion. The
tyranny of trusts can only be
overcome by the governments
opening avenues of relief to
the people. and the only way
to do it is for the government
to assume operation of all
public institutions.

The initiative and referen.
dunn does not only give to the
people an opportunity to vote

compel the passage of such

have enacted.

The amount of money in
existence has very little effect
on the people. 1t is the man
ner in which it is distributed
that produces results. When
money is concentrated it serv-

mulated, the greater is the
oppression. The wealth of
the country should be equal
ly distributed so that all
would have equal opportun.

IF the Cresset will show us where we
have ever lodged taxes we owed the
county, we will donate double the
amount 1t proves we lodged, to that

we might relate circumstance which

do not care to thrash over old straw.
