from h%eridity, environment or the sub
tie, ~indefinable influence of the bust
ness seems SO rampant. Public respect
and confidence are essential for the
likes to say unpleasant things more
than /, but when the occasion demands
lit | always prefer to speak right out
in school. Some of the wool growers
in this state are systematic ,~tax-dodg-
ers. When a man deceives the asses
Isor and thereby escapes just taxation,
he robs his n~eighbor, holds up the pub
lie and burglarizes the state. An arm
strong committee ought to investi-
gate, bring in an Indictment, convict
and send to the penitentiary, and l
wouldn't pardon, even if we had to
built thirty or forty new penal institu-
tons to hold the" offenders.
What are the facts? We exported
last year 81, S00,400 pounds of wool, val
ued at 81, 200, 900. And the wool grow
ers of this state returned for assess
ment purposes during the year 1905,
2 ,658,450 sheep valued at $5,553, 5S7 .S5.
Last years mutton sold for more than
all the sheep in the state are valued
at, on the assessment rolls, and last
years wool brought S1,250,0 0 more.
Now l haven't any particular complaint
to make over the valuations placed up
on sheep by our state board of equili-
cation. They correspond fairly well
with the valuations placed upon other
classes of live stock; but l do contend
that every wool-grower in this state
should return to the assessor the num-
Der of sheep actually owned.
The little fellow with his few head
OF live stock pays taxes on 80 per cent
of his holdings; the Wyoming sheep
owners last year paid taxes IN SO per-
cent,
Speaking as a wool-grower to wool
growers l suggest that We turn ove
a new leaf and honestly bear our share
of the burden OF taxation and see that
the other fellow does the same.
About us We see the quickening and
awakening OF the public conscience. 1t
is fashionable to talk about the graft
ling of life insurance presidents and
ghoulishly rejoice over the shortcom-
ings of men in high positions. / say
the only way to cure the cancer OF pub
lie graft is 10 put the knife in deep;
begin at home by following the simple
advice given 1000 years ago by the
one truly honest Man. Thou hypo-
criteI first cast out the beam out of

British admiralty TO the Canadians
and that hereafter the big docks
would be maintained by the Cana
dians and the port be under their OK

II Is not that Canada is anxious
to have the English withdraw alto.

of wealth and protection to the Cana
dams to have British warships main
tanned at British expense In Canadian
waters. to have English armies al
Halifax. Kingston and Quebec. But
In return for such favors the Can
sdians have been unwilling TO dc
more than send colonial regimen
occasionally to South Africa or India
TO help In time of war.
Great Britain gets no revenue from
Canada. Nor In any way does Canads
pay for the support OF the British
empire. No voice has Great Britait
