For the next forty days the law
makers will be flouDdering and
cropping in q wilderness of new
bile. This being campaign year,
many will feel that they must in
troducs and endeayor to secure the
passage of some Law to which they
can point next summer, when they
appear upon the hustings to give
an account of their stewardship.
Oftentimes the one who defeats a
measure renders greater service
to tho taxpayers than the one who
works for its passage. The two
nuts that will be most difficult
for the Legislators to crack WI :,e
those of taxation and the SC u.ion
of the liquor question. These two
problems have baffled the most
astute statesman for Thousands Of
years and we fear that a props,
solution is yet in the remote
future.

The practice of advancing
money to hands in order to securt
their services is pernicious one,
and viii tend to- q further de:
smoralization Of slabor. Some have
been known to- osaccept such money
from one farmer and then engage
their services to another. While
five or ten dollars advanced now
may secure a hand, it is probable
that in a few years, if the practice
is continued, three OF four times
chat amount may be demanded.
In fact, in some counties of the
state, where this evil has existed
for a number of years, labor is so
greatly dem ,ralized thereby that
the farmer who bids the highest
gets the hands. 1t will be better
for the employers and the employ
ees if this practice is discontinued
in this county before it becomes
general.
