Conditions were so lntolerant
in South Carolina in the seven
ties that a taxpayers convention
was called, and it may be a
good scheme now to have a
gathering of the taxpayers in
every county in the State to
protest against the present ten
dency towards excessive taxa
ton. It does seem to US there
is intelligence enough in this
State to devise a more equitable
and business like assessment of
property. As it is now: the peo-
pie are burdened with all man,
ner of taxation. There should be
retrenchment and reform, md il

itself ccutemplates limitation of cam paign expenses to the official appropri. ation.
 One of the many tentative sugges- tions thrown out by MT. Roosevelt while president was that of govern meEtal provision for campaign expendi. lures as means of preventing elector- al corruption. The problem of fnanc. ing campaigns is serious one, and the practice of calling upon rich men to provide the funds is apt to be degrad. ing. It has often been urged that gov ernments should provide fer certain specified campaign expenditures, as the publication and distribution of litera ture, and the employment of spellbind ers-the so called legitimate expenses of placing the issues before the voters. So far as we know, Colorado Is the first state to adopt Legislation along these lines, though there are tendencies in the same general direction that are noteworthy, such as oregon's provision for the publication of brief statements of the issues or the records of candi, dates.
 Originally, nearly the entire expenses of holding elections, as well as of cam paigns, fell upcn private purses. In some of the states this is still true of primary elections. But with the adop- tion of the Australian ballot, the ex- pense of printing and distributing cleo. ton tickets was taken over by public authority, and, generally speaking, the cost of elections is now borne by the various governments. Legislation has endeavorsd to put limit on this ex- penditare, as well as to prohibit the collection of campaign funds from cor porate or other corrupting sources. It is not a difficult step from the ad- vanced electoral legislation of some of the states to the Colorado law allot- ting definite sum for campaign ex penses. Such law, to be effective, should go hand in hand with stringent corrupt practices act, or it should limit ths campaign expenditure to the amount 0 fthe appropriation. Still, it would hardly be wise to dry up the springs of private contribution, for that course would estop the formation of new par ties, or the conduct of political propa- gandas separate from the old parties both of which might require the legiti- mate expenditure of considerable sums of money.

sMALLEY HAS OPPOSITION

If all reports be true there is goiIig to be something of a skirmish for clerk of the district and federal courts of this district before the appointment is made by Judge Lewis.
 The other day a news story was pub llshed to the effect that MT. Smalley had no opposition and was reposefully seated in his office lounging chair wait ing for the plum to drop in his lap But that was the story of reporter who did not prosecute his search beyond the limits of the Smalley camp.
 There is a strong faction of the rs- publican party in this part of Arizona working tooth and toenail for the ap. pointmcnt of Tom Trev.llian, ore Of the most popular and enthusiastic of the young republicans of Arizona, and q gentleman, by the way, who promises well for the future. MT. Treviilian has stood high in the councils of the party for number of years and was the choice of the Gila county republicans last fall for the office of territorial as sembly1nan. He made fine race. Ire william has never been mixed up in any factional fight. He is clean young man Of sterling integrity and in pop, ular contest would mare a very credit abls showing.
 Smalley has made a good record in office. He was identified, however, very strongly with the Kibbey faction last fall and has posed as something of 8 leader of one of the local factions. His opponents hold that he has been well rewarded for the service he has per formed and should step down and out. They claim that Trevillian's appoint, mert would bring about harmony and add great strength to the county re pubEcars. The fight is on in earnest and the outcome will be watched with keen interest.

HOW THE EUROPEAN SHOPPER
 RETURNS
She Hasn't Any Money and She Is
 Hazy About the Louvre

The shopper sails from Liverpool on steamboat that touches at Queens town. Perhaps she has saved twenty dollars to see. her through the customs and into her own home. But she has not reckoned on Queenstown, for, though the steamers do not go up to the wharfs. kordes of lace vendors come out to the liners in small boats with Irish lace and Irish blarney, a combination that is hard to resist. ''John will meet me at the landing, anyway" the shopper reflects, "and he II not expect me to have a cent. !" And, so as not to disappoint John, she buys just little crochet, set of baby Irish, little Carrickmacross-and the steamer s off. There is a panic at the thought of the custom house officials, but John is there to help her through and her best friend is at the dock"
 "Didn't you love Pariss' asks the friend enviously.
 "Adored it." replies the shopper.
 "And the Louvre-didn you love the 'Mona Lisa 'f"
 "I don't remember the Mona li- sa, but" enthusiastically, "the feath- Ter boas were. beautiful! ''-The Delhi eatof for May.

Governor Shafroth cf Colorado has signed 9 bill fer tls payment of cam paign expenses to the extent of 25 cents for each vote cast at guberna- torial election, the total sum to be di. vided pro rata among the political parties. As the total vote of the state for governor in 1908 was 247,73o, the appropriation for the campaign ex- penses of the next election will amount to nearly $62,OO0, of which the demo- cratic party will get something over $S2, ,ooo, and the republican party some, thing less than $So,Ooo.

THE OLD DOMINION BANK

mer to see Northampton, our grand father and grandmother, OUT uncles, aunts and cousins. To compass this visit an open carriage, such as we ;hen called barouche, came around to the house in Boston at 6 o'clock in the morning. Two trunks were fastened on it behind, or perhaps one trunk swung by straps from the hinder axle. On the back seat of this barouche sat my father and mother and one of the smaller children. On an opposite side sat two, and on ths high drivers seat, with Fullam, sat one or two more.
 At Birmingham, where wedined, and at Worcester, where we slept, we chil- dren reveled in ths delights of com. try taverns. In those days we did not say much about hotels. From Worces- ter, on the second day, We "tried the adventure" as Amadis would say, of a longer drive to Northampton. Those hills of Worcester county and Halnp- shire are not mole hills, and you viii see that horses did well if by night on the second day we were at North ampton. The next morning, ten miles more carried us to grandpa's house.
 Today, if I chose to take the same journey, I should go to Northampton in two or three hours, more or less, and take the sams charming drive to the dear old house in an hour more.
