settling for Miracles.

Il Ia considerably les than ten years
ago that the Hon. B. r. ODELI, Jr., who
was then Governor Of this State, had an
inspiration Of the sort not frequent on
this side Of the Mississippi River. Il
was suddenly borne in upon him that
taxation was the source Of all human
misery. and that II a scheme could be
devitsd by which revenue could be
raised for public purposes without the
knowledge Of the contributor the future
of the benefactor and his political party
would be assured.
Accordingly Mr.. ODELL abolished the
direct tax and arranged a scheme Of
tribute taking in such fashion that all
extraction should he painless and un-
known 70 the victim. and that the citi-
1ens Of Democratic towns should bear
the share Of the inhabitants Of rural
districts. Thepopuiarity Of this scheme
In the rural regions was ~ instant and
complete that the actual disappearance
q the country Democrat seemed for q
time inevitable.
Meanwhile the abolition Of the direct
tax bad a secondary result no less no
table. The elimination Of all difficulty
in getting money made the spending
equally without hardship. Thus, while
the cost of state administration in 1909
under ODEu was 81, 32O, 272. siX years
later. under HrGHEs. Il has reached the
respectable figure Il 81. 7s7. GsO. Fifty
millions in 1915 became the pleasant
and plausible watchword oi the respOn-
sible State officials.
There Is therefore a genuine cause for
regret that the regular and interesting
progress Of the financial scheme Of ex-
Governor ODEIL has at last met with
serious difficulty. In fart a legislative
committee. Republican in membership
Of course. has just returned n the Legs
lature with the sad news that a return 20

moment when the rural voter and poten-
tialtaKpayer has learned 20 love a Repub-
Iican regimewhichhAd forever eliminated

Democratic systems impends.
Last year. with the sanction Of Gov
srnor HUGHEs, the Legislature decided

Now the proposition IA TO raise the g.

ton 20 the canal sinking fund under the
Fifty year scheme by direct taxation.
This scheme, under the Governors sys-
tam Of bookkeeping. will save - 900, =
900, that may advantageously be applied

After a period notable for It's financial
miracle and another preeminent because
Of lie moral revolution il would seem
that the people Of this State are about to
return N the old fashioned way Of pay

entity, moreover, they will have a con-
