Sound Argument.

Every business carried on in a
town ought to be represented in the
local newspapers. 1t goes to many
persons who desire to know something
of the place. The home paper is one
of the most forceful advertisements OF
a home institution. 1t speaks of the
enterprise of the place and to strang-
ers it illustrates the spirit and energy
Of the people. 1t is always we'll to
bear in mind that seekers for homes
and business locations never pick out
dead towns. A small town where
people are enterprising often holds
forth to the progressive settlers
greater opportunities than do the
larger cities.-Ex.

TAXATION.

The power of taxation, whether by
the Federal government, the state OF
municipality, is the highest prerog-
ative of sovereignty, and being So
should be exercised with the great
est care While it is high power, 1t
is a necessary power All good citi-
Zens agree to this. The expenses OF
the government must be met, and
money must be raised from the peo-
ple for this purpose. But when the
government puts it's hand into the
pocket of the individual and takes out
his hard earned money, it is neces-
sary to show him some good reason
for it,
First, he must be shown that it is
necessary to tax him at all. And then,
if he must be taxed, he must know
that every other citizen is equally
taxed with him. Convince any good
citizen that these two propositions
are met, and he is willing to pay his
taxes.
Now il is the bounden duty of the
taxing lower to make the tax rate as
low as possible and distribute the tax
alton as equitably as possible. 1t is
true that it is difficult thing to frame
an equitable tax law. This has
worried the brain of many a good
man. But it ought to be the
aim of every law upon the subject of
taxation.
But there is another matter that
is inseparab1y connected with taxation
and that is, how the money is spent
after it is obtained. To waste it by
extravagant administration, is crime
against the people.
For the Federal government, with
all it's enormous resources, to nave
it's treasury facing deficit of $780,
100000, is a condition that deserves
the rebuke of the American people.
The lavish and unprecedented extrav-
agance of our Congress ought to be
checked
And now they are framing tarln
bill with schedules high enough to
meet this extravaganza. The proper
and honest method would be to cut
down the expenses and lower the
tariff
This could be readily done without
at all impairing the public service. But
the trouble is that this would not let
the tariff barons get their slice. They
must be taken care of if it bankrupts

Making Stump Money.

An Iowa farmer had a hundred OF
more stumps he wanted to get rid OF,
and as he had no time to dig them out
himself he offered neighbor's boy 5o
cents each to clear them away. he
figured that the lad might grub out
two week, but he wasn't up to date.
The boy took an augur and bored a
deep hole in the top OF every stump
and then poured in kerosene. Eac1
stump soaked up about galIon, anu
at the end of a week was tnorougnly
permeated with the oil. Wnen SET on m
fire they burned like tinder, ana IN
the course of fortnight every STUMP
was simply pile OF ashes. q month
had done the whole business.

DISPUTE OVER JURORS
DELAYS T0MALTY TRIAL
Defendants Attorneys Raise OBJ
lection to Special Venire

The trial of James c. Tomalty, ac-
cused of having altered the records of
The city treasurer's Office. was to have
begun in Judge Lawlor's court yes
terday, but point raised by his law
yers, Herbert Choynski and Stephen
V. Costello. as TO the jury panel caused
a continuance TO this morning. One
hundred jurors had been summoned
into court.
The attorneys for the defense claimed
that as the talesmen had been first
summoned for duty in the Calhoun
case they were ineligible to serve in
the trial of Tomalty. They insisted
that their client was entitled to panel
drawn from the big jury box OF 400
names.
I'VE want to go to trial with the
regular jury panel of the department .
said Choynski.
Judge Lawlor explained that the
jurors whose names were drawn from
the big box and assigned for service in
that department already had been ex-
hausted. A special panel was called
into existence in June of this year. the
Judge said. and from this he proposed
to select the Tomalty jury
Choynski still insisted upon the jury
being chosen from the big box of 400
names. The case went over to this
morning, when II men will be called
TO the box from the special panel. and
upon a challenge being interposed in
behalf of the defendant the issue will
be thrashed out.
