GOVERNMENT COSTS
TOO MUCH.


The state of Wisconsin Is about to
erect new capitol building at pro
posed cost of from four to six million
dollars. AS such things go. perhaps
the trde of two millions difference in
the figures given is not worthy of con.
sideration, especially when it is un.

has plenty OF money on hand
A correspondent, In describing the
glories of the proposed new capitol,
says that the state is able to build Il

but there are common, everyday citi.

must practice extortion in some direc.

The fact is that in the majority of
states the amount of revenue neces-

no way to spend it until 1t is in hand,
but after that there is no restraint
upon the spending of it. And so great
reformers inspire legislation to
squeeze great sums from great cor.

against such taxation, and the fact
that the people do not directly pay

Suggests a Safeguard Against State
E<travagance.
Danger to a state in securing all its
revenue from excise or privilege taxes
was shown by Attorney General Wade
H. Ellis, in an address before the
Commercial club on Taxation" He
argued that the people would, to a
large extent, lose their touch with the
state government. If they made no di.
rect contribution to its support
through the medium of taxes.
To avoid the danger the speaker
suggested that the Legislature levy an
annual assessment against the coun.
ties equal TO about 10 per cent of the
cost of operating the state govern.
ment. This assessment to be divided
In proportion to the amount of taxes
raised by each county for county pur.
poses. The attorney general suggest
ed that this would serve all practical
results of entirely separating state
from local taxation, while at the same
time it has many commendable fea,
lures of its own.

Bills to create tax commissions are
pending before the general assembly
of the following states Alabama
Delaware, Idaho Illinois, Indiana
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Min
nesota, Oregon and Wyoming. In
some of the states these bills have
been made laws, and the probability
Is that bills will be enacted by ma
jority of the states, If not by all oi
them This shows conclusively that
the problem of how to improve the
state and local taxation system is q
question of vital and urgent impor
tance in nearly every state In the
Union.
Principles of taxation, like all eco,
nomic principles, are universal in
their application, Work done in one
state may be made useful in all other
states. BY making Investigations and
guiding discussion on similar lines,
and then comparing results, the peo-

story: 81 had patient once who com

was otherwise we'll and strong and
looked upon the little ache as nothing
serious. Weeks after she had been to

used the Hniment I gave her on her
bad arm every night and that when
she did not use it she could not sleep.
One night she retired before making

bed to the table, got her liniment bot

felt better for it and went to sleep

LOAD OF DUNKARos
 THROUGH FL PASo

FL PASO, Tex, May 2O.-A special train over the Texas and Pacific ar rived with a delegation of German Baptist brethren from northern Indi- ana on board. The party was enroute to Los Angeles to attend the national convention of the Dunkard church
 There were eighty-seyen in the par ty and all the women wore the pe- culiar bonnet that is characteristic of the members of the church.
 They are all prosperous farmers and are considered the most law-abid- ing and thrifty citizens of the Hoos- fer state. The older members of the church follow very strict rules of con duct. but the younger generation are more progressive and are rapidly adopting the ways of the world. The church maintains college at Goshen, Ind, in which the children of the members are educated and where the ministers of the church study.
 While here the delegation char tered a special street car and took a trip over town and across the river They left over the Southern Pacific for Los, Angeles.

GIRL HAS RAMRoD
 IN BRAIN; LIVES
Remarkable Vitality Shown By Ten
 Year-oId Illinois Giri.

NASHVILLE, III, May 20.-Ger- trude Schmidt, 10-year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Anton Schmidt, of Lively Grove Township, in the south western part of this county, who was wounded in the foFehad by the acci- dental discharge of a gun several days ago, now lies at her home with the entire right side of her body paral- yzed.
 Two younger brothers of the girl were loading a shotgun while she was standing between them. A shell became lodged in the barrel and the boys attempted to force it in with a ramrod The force of the impact on the cap exploded the shell and it flew backward, carrying the ramrod with il. The latter struck the little girl squarely in the forehead, piercing the brain and protruding from the back of the head about four inches. When they realized what had happened rno three children took hold of the-Tam- rod and pulled it from the head of the ijured girl. The child then fell to the ground unconscious and was car ried into the house and physicians were summoned.
 Paralysis of the right side followed and the girl is now in a comatose state. When first called the physi- cions deemed the wound of a fatal nature, and the fact that she has survived for three days makes the case remarkable.
