TRIISTEEsS SALE OF BRICK FOUNDRY AND

STREET NORTHWEST. WITH BRICK
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-03-05

The taxpayers grumble over the
ever-growing burden of taxation, but
grumbling will avail them nothing, I'M
less they arouse themselves and strike
at the source of their undoing Why
are taxes constantly increasing? the
reason is that the cost of government
is increased by the multiplying of Of
fees. We have entered upon an era of
suppressing abuses and regulating evils.
And to suppress an abuse requires an
army of officeholders, while no evil can
be regulated without having attached
to it a body of high-salaried experts
and judicially- politicians. In
harmony with advanced ideas" it is
essential to attack evils by detail, with
a body of officials for each particular
evil. The old-fashioned method of using
the same instrument to suppress or
deal with sundry evils has been out
grown. We must have separate courts
and separate commissions and separate
officials to deal with each evil as it is
agitated. We are specializing on evils
and their regulation. And as long as
the taxpayers approve and applaud the
creation of Offices and view as modern
marvels the politicians with glib tongues
and itching palms, taxes will grow
heavier. Milwaukee News.

The Store of Quality

AN EDITOR condensed into brief
space great truth when he wrote the
following paragraph: Don't attempt
to ask the editor to write up and re-
buke every evil in the town or COM
munity, but when convinced that such
duties need attending to, write an arti-
Gle for the paper and sign your name
to it for publication. The man who is
too big a coward to thus express an
opinion is the very one who will stand
on the street corner and talk loudly
about the cowardice of the editor. :"
Now, isn't this really so?' How many
men are ready to pat the editor on the
back when he calls the attention of the
public to some social evil, but if they,
personally, were asked to openly assist
the editor, what "duckers' they are!
Heavens portals will never open to
some of these ''reformers" unless they
help bear part of the brunt of what
they expect the editor to. bear

AN EIGHT-PAGE pamphlet issued by
the Bureau of the Census a few days
ago throws light on the number, kinds
and prices of the poles consumed by the
telegraph and telephone lines and cleo
trio and steam railroads of the country.
These companies have been requested
to report the facts bearing on the gen
eral subject so far as their own roads
are concerned, and the information has
been classified and tabulated to an ex-
tent that it gives one an idea of the
large demand made on our timber sup
plies by these several classes of con-
sumers and the amount of money in
volved in the aggregate. The total
purchase of poles in 1907 was sc, 668
less than in 1906, but the. cost was
$758, All greater. The average cost of
the poles was II cents greater than in
1906. The timber chiefly used was &C.
dar, which formed 63.3 per cent of the
total, and chestnut which formed Is
per cent of the total. Cypress, pine,
oak, fir, redwood, tamarack and other
woods are used, the locality in most in
stances governing the kind, as those
most accessible are generally cheapest.

IT is exceedingly strange the number
of new laws the legislature thinks it
must enact every two years. Laws
that are of no earthly use and but cum
Der up the statute books of the state.
The man who secures the repeal of fool
laws is more to be honored than he who
secures the enactment of a hundred
laws

THE adoption of the electric furnace
in large steel operations is expected to
meet the demand for steel rail tough
enough to bear the strain of high speed
in the largest freight engines. Great
possibilities are still hidden in all forms
of applied electricity.

HATS off to the legislators who are
striving for the repeal of useless laws,
especially those laws which make it
necessary for a citizen to obtain a
license or permit nearly every time he
wishes to move. This is said to be a
free country, and yet nobody can blame
foreigners for smiling when they learn
about how little we can do without get
ting permit from some particular
source.-Baraboo Democrat

NEW LEADER FOR
TABERNACLE CHOIR

There Is to be a change In the lead
ership OF the Salt Lake Tabernacle
choir. Prof A. c. Luna or the Brig
ham Young university Is to succeed
Prof Evan Stephens, who has been
for many years the leader of the
choir. Speaking OF the change. the
Provo Post has this to say:
Word has reached here from Salt
Lake City that Prof. =. C. Lund of
the b. Y L. Will he engaged 10 take
charge OF the great Tabernacle CON
cert choir at Salt Lake just as soon
as he returns from his trip abroad,
and upon the strength of Lund going
10 Salt Lake to take charge OF the
famous organization, n great many
young singers have gotten together
and are rapidly drawing up plans for
the organization of a great male
chorus upon the arrival of their new
leader. II has been au understood
fact for a long time that Prof. Ste
phens has desired to be released from
the choir, as he feels that he would
prefer to devote his time In private
for the rest of his life, and it is a
known fact that many times Prof.
portant church position. but has re
fused at each time on account of his
loyalty TO Provo and hi, Cesire TO re-
main with the B. Y. L.
Prof Lund has reputation
throughout the entire Western couu-
try as a chorister and teacher of the
highest type and has been considered
one OF the very foremost leaders in
music for many years past The
operas he has put on eacn spring have
done much to build up his great repu-
tation and no matter where he took
his singers, great audiences greeted
him. The Salt Lake papers at diff
ferent times have stated that the b
Y. u. amateurs are ahead of any
amateur productions ever gotten up,
In this state and they have attributed
these successes to Lund's leadership"
