WILL VISIT old HOME.
COMING TO HOOSIER STATE
Joaquin Miller, the "Poet Of the Sier-
ras" Is to Look Once More Upon the
County, Indiana.

Marion, Ind, March Joaquin Mil
Ter, the Poet of the Sierras," has
written Marion friends of his definite
intention to visit Marion and the
scenes of his boyhood next summer.
He has indicated that he would prob
ably come in August. The Grant
County Historical society will soon
take steps looking to a proper recep-
ton for Mr.. Miller on his visit here.
1t is possible he may be asked to speak
at a big outdoor meeting to be held
at the site of his old home in this
county.
Joaquin Miller was born in Cincin-
natl, November TO- 1871, where his
father was merchant. Being unsuc-
cessful in that business, the elder Mil
Ter decided to turn to farming. He
moved first to Union county, this state
and then came TO Grant county, set
ting short distance west of Jalapa,
village on the border of what was for
merly the Miami Indian reserve. Here
the family lived for several years be-
fore removing TO the Pacific coast
That Joaquin Miller made warm per-
sonal friends early in life is shown by
the fact that he has all these years

ITS INFLUENCE ON BRIBERY.
Municipal Ownership Would Modify,
but Not Abolish It.

Municipal Ownership Would Modify
but Not Abolish It.
One of the truest statements made
by advocates of municipal ownership
is that 1t would put an end to bribery
of city officials by public service cor
porations. 1t certainly would wher-
ever that is practiced But it wouldn't
put an end to bribeable officials. and
unless the city should manufacture It's
own engines, machinery street cars,
electric lamps and other supplies the
quality and price of these would be
largely regulated by such officials.
Every one who is familiar with the
school trade knows that orders for
school books and supplies are in many
cities o5tainable only by crossing the
palms Of members Of school boards
with liberal supply of gold and that
a change Of textbooks is frequently
ordered merely because of these itch
ing palms.
Municipal ownership will not change
human nature, and venal officials can
hold up manufacturing companies Just
as easily and proftably as they can
lighting and traction companies. Did
1t ever occur to you that corporation
isn't anxious to get rid of its money
that way? But when it comes to a
holdup almost any one will give up
the 'long green" to "public servants"
who are Jealous, not for the public
welfare, but for their private purse.

No Intimation of Graf.

A dispatch from Wilkesbarre in re-
gard to the municipal electric light
plant of Easton, Pa, the breakdown Of
which has left that city in temporary
darkness, says
"There is no intimation of graft. The
condition is due apparently to the fact
that city employees, appointed by men
holding political Office cannot be ex-
pected to have the same knowledge of
the electric lighting business that skill.
ed employees of private corporations
have, and consequently there Is waste
and inetficlency in city plant which
would not be possible In a we'll con.
Quoted private plant"

SLEEPING AFTER MEALS.
II ls Apt to Have a Harmful Effect
Upon Digestion.


Science in its study of men and
animals finds all sorts of contradic-
tory evidence respecting the rela-
tive values of exercise and of rest
during the process of digestion. 1t
has been proved that climate is the
principal consideration at the out
Eet.
In the tropics the siesta, or short
nap, after the midday meal is found
to be natural development and a
necessity for human beings, while
IN the temperate zones sleep imme-
dlately after eating is apt to prove
harmful, though rest in waking
state is desirable in most cases.
The whole subject is we'll out
lined in a Paris scientific journal,
Cosmos, from which the following
paragraph is translated:
"ln temDerate climates an adult
in good health who eats moderately
does not feel the need of sleep i'm
mediately after eating. Somnolence
attacks only dyspeptics, aged per-
sons and excessive eaters. In warm
climates, especially in the tropics,
it is impossible to 90 out of doors
between II a. IN. and 2 p. m. or
to occupy oneself in any way. Peo-
pie are thus led to lie down, heat
and digestion aiding this tendency,
and the siesta becomes a habit, not
an absolute necessity"
If one does lie down after meals
should he sleep or remain awake?
DIR. Schulz, an assistant of Baumler
at Freiburp, has analyzed the con-
tents of the stomachs of two nor
NAL subjects removed several hours
after an identical test meal of bread
and distilled water, followed in the
one case by sleep, in the other by
simple rest in horizontal position.
He shows that sleep during diges-
ton always results in weakening
the motility of the stomach and in |
creasing the acidity of gastric juice
"a fact attributed by Schulz to the |
caused by the chyme's re-
naming abnormally long in the
stomach.
He has also remarked that sim
pie repose in horizontal posture,
not accompanied by sleep, stimu-
lates the gastric function without
increasing the acidity.
The conclusions of this physiolo-
gist need to be supported by very
large number of tests. The sim /
plest test is to ask whether persons
who sleep after eating experience
any discomfort. Numbers of them
say tRat-a siesta interrupts digestion
and that on awakening they have a
bitter taste in their mouths.

CALIFORNIA CRITICISM
General Property Tax is Condemned
by State Commission.

by State Commission.
The State of California is now
wrestling with the taxation question.
A commission authorized to study
taxation laws and schemes has only
recently completed a comprehensive
report. Page after page could be
taken from that report and with the
Ihange of the word California" to
ohio" be made timely critism OF
our own system. Many of the rec
concentrations for changes in the Cali
r"rnla constitution and laws could lie
applied with equal force to Ohio.
These excerpts from the report o.
he California Commission on Revenue
iEt Taxation are particularly apple
able to the Ohio situation:
I'm general the present system of
taxation does not meet the demands
made upon it, 1t is antiquated hav-
ing been adopted so years ago, an
has not been revised to keep pace
with modern conditions.
~ - A"ii VI WHICH iii
pose handicap upon the growth of
the state, handicap which only the
vigor and inexhaustible energy of our
pCople can carry.
These inequalities twist and dis.
tort our industries and prohibit
symetrical development of our re-
sources. They place an undue bur
den upon agriculture especially; the
foundation of our wealth. the one in
dustry which most fully exploits the
great natural resources of the state.
Our chief tax, called a general
property tax, has in fact become
real estate tax. Only from Is per cent
to IS per cent Cf the entire taxes are
leview on personal property.
monies and credits escape taxation
almost entirely. Our laws in regard
to the taxation of this class of prop.
erty are full of absurditieS and utter
ly unenforcible. 1t is unwise to re-
tain these provisions on the statute
books
THE present system takes the rev.
enue derivable by taxation from large
general organizations, like the rail.
roads, which revenue belongs by right
to the people of the state at large.
and distributes 1t most inequitably
among the local divisions of the state
which have no proper claim to it
whatsoever.
"Our present system is.a school for
perjury puts a penalty on honesty
and pays high premiums for dis.
honesty.
"Our present system is so embodied
in our constitution that it cannot be
bettered without a constitutional
amendment"

One more billion dollar Con,
gress has passed into history.
Billion dollar Congresses are be.
coming rather the rule now than
otherwise. This country is get.
ting so large and there are SC
many imperative calls on the ma
tional finances, that the mere
fact of Congress having appro-
priated this huge sum of money
is not enough to convict it of ex-
travagance. The question is
whether we have gotten the
worth OF our money. The money
we have, and we can afford to
spend it if it is spent wisely.
Two monster battleships were
authorized for the navy with the
hearty approval of the president.
They will cost SIS, 900, 900 each,
probably, before they are in COM
mission, and they may never have
to fire a shot in anger. But they
are sort of insurance paid for
international peace, and as such
are cheap. The artillery corps
has been enlarged, the service
pension bill has been passed.
Over $50, 100000 has been ap-
propriated for river and harbor
Improvement. Congressional and
cabinet salaries have been raised,
postal salaries increased and more
money appropriated for our dip
lomatic and consular service. No
fault can be found with any of
these measures on the score of
extravaganza. They were all
that were needed, and |
The only thing that remains is to |
be thankful that we had the mo-
1ey to spend.
