MUNICIPAL HYPOCRACY.

There is somewhat cynical but nevertheless
widely accepted saying that man who won't take
drink of whisky or steal an umbrella will bear
careful watching. Since communities are only col
lectons of individuals and necessarily present, in
the mass, many of the characteristics of those who
compose them, Il similar maxim would seem to APP
ply to the city of Toronto, up III Canada, which is
so suspiciously good that not even the tidings OF
peace in South Africa held to justify the publ
cation of Sunday extras by the newspapers bring
ing the glad message to the people. Several pub
fishers who, feeling under absolute obligation t.
hasten the circulation of information of SO great
importance, ignored the blue laws, have been hauled
before the magistrates and mulcted in nominal
sums. The size of The fines-Sl and $2-eloquently
testifes to the hypocrtica nature of the prosecI-
tons, AID suggests that those who made the CON-
plants were probably among the most eager to buy
and read the editions issued.
There is, probably, no division of sentiment as to
the righteousness of supplying the news at the
earliest possible moment, but a public morality
which demands that, under such circumstances, the
law should go through the motions OF furnishing a
deed which all approve is not of the kind that can be
trusted in the greater things.

IT is THE FARMER ALWAYS.

board of county commissioners i'll one of our
western states recently decided to meet floating in
debtedness of about 100000 by an increased tax
levy To this end they had property assessed at its
actual market value instead of the customary one
fourth. When the farmers of the county heard
how their taxes would pile up under the proposed
increase they got together and registered angry
protest against the proposed levy.
No one else. it seems made any complaint. The
farmer alone objected. Why?
Because he knew that he would get the worst of
the deal-that tax-dodgng by owners of intangible
property would throw the burleu Of the tax upon
his shoulders. The taXdodger is doing SO now, and
has always done 1t. And yet the farmer will still
insist on trying to head him off. He knows, or
ought to know, that invisible intangible property
cannot be subject to taxation. Government has
been trying it for centuries to very little purpose.
The great bulk of it escapes the tax gatherer. The
owner of stocks and bonds and does habitually
conceal his property, and by well-known methods of
evasion shifts the burden of taxes upon him whose
property cannot be hid away.
The farmers property, his lands, houses and
barns, his live stock and implements always in
sight. Conceament is out of the question. There
is no possibility of Sinking or evading, lying
about his possessions. What the assessor cannot
see for himself neighbQr will tell him about. The
farmer must always face the music, and because he
must he insists that the owners of totally different
kinds of property must be brought to book well.
He asks that property that can at any moment take
to itself wings and fly away be caught and taxed
just as his cattle and hogs are taxed.
The thing has never been done and in all proba-
bility never will be. When the farmer learns this
lesson if anything can drive it into his head,
perhaps he will seek relief in "a change of system
that works such rank injustice to himself. 1t is
entirely of his own designing, a most wretched
patchwork, thing of shreds and patches, botched up
by nnumerabe tax-tinkers and still doing duty on
ly because he can't see how rotten it is

Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must srf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to
large percentage of human ills. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both a builder and purifier - a food
and a medicine. 1t is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find a substitute.
