RETRENCHMENT IS
CERTAINLY NEEDED

II ucTS are 1--WE IIlOtHOuS Vi COLI
Quoting the affairs of state or ma
ton. One is to increase taxes to
keep pace with the expenditures;
the other is to cut down the expen-
ditures to keep pace with the ave-
nues. The republican party in the
nation and in this state has adopted
the former method. Several years
| ago when a republican congress
was criticised for making appro-
priations aggregating billion dol
lars a prominent republican leader
answered the criticism by saying:
This is billion dollar country, "
and many thoughtless people APP
| plauded the remark as expressing
public sentiment. When the
large appropriations made in this
state have been criticised, the an
swer has been: This is rich
and progressive commonwealth
which cannot afford to be penuri-
Gus. "
Statistics compiled by the secre.
tary of the state tax commission
shows that a total of more than
$50, 900, 900 was raised by direct
taxation for the year 1908, an in
crease of nearly 100 per cent. over
1904, when the amount was $40,
500, 900. These figures do not in
Clude the money raised by fines, Ii
censes and taxes for privileges of
any kind
These statistics ought to make
the taxpayer do some serious think
ing. A man who lives beyond his
means sooner or later comes to the
end of his rope and what is true of
the individual is true of collec
ton of individuals organized under
state government. Taxes were
high last year, will be higher this
year and yet the increase in reve
nue. will be inadequate to meet the
extravagant appropriations of the
last legislature.
The history of the state proves
that the republican organization is
welded to the system of increasing
the revenues to keep pace with the
expenditures. 1t is true that Gov.
Mcbride endeavored to run the
state within its means, but he was
promptly denied a denomination by
his party. The people hoped for
relief when Governor Hay was in
stalled but he lacked the courage to
use his veto power to prune the APP
preparation bills. At the next
election the people should support
for the legislature only such men
as can be depended upon to make
fight for economy. The impor-
tant question should be not
whether the candidate is a republi
can or a democrat, but whether he
stands for the plan of increasing
taxes to meet the expenditures, or
the plan of reducing expenditures
to keep pace with the taxes. The
time has come when a man of John
r. Rogers type is badly needed in
the executive mansion, a man who
will have the courage to insist that
the state must live within it's in
come. -Colfax Commoner.

MEETS DEATH IN RUNAWAY
Napoleon Gagne Killed In Rus.-
away Tuesday Evening One
Mile South of Town.

Napoleon Gagne, well known locally,
was instantly killed Tuesday evening,
while going from his work in this place
to his homestead south of town. While
passing the freighting outfit of E. H.
Decker, which was also travelling
southwark, the horse being driven by
the deceased became frightened and
ran at breakneck speed for but a
short distance, when telephone pole
was encountered. The rate of speed
WIS so great that the substantial buggy
seat was torn from its fastenings and
the deceased was precipitated from the
rig, striking head downward in such a
manner that fracture of the bones of
neck resulted, causing death instantly.
The unfortunate affair occurred at $50
O'Clock at point short distance beyond
the w. II. Austin home.
Messrs. Austin and Decker ran
quickly to where the deceased was
lying, and lifted his head to a more
comfortable position, but he spoke nc
word and expired with a gasp. In
vestigation quickly determined the fact
that the bones of the neck had been
either broken or dislocated'
A coroner's jury was summoned yes
terday morning by Acting Coroner T.
A. Jones, which investigated all ex-
isting evidence and returned an opinion
that the deceased had met death in an
unavoidable runaway accident.
Deceased was native of Canada and
was forty-three years of age at the
time of death and was veteran of the
Spanish-American o,ar, having served
with honor in the naval battle of
Manila Bay. His enlistments in the
American navy dated from July 26th,
1894 to October End, 1900, and his dis
testimonial to his faithful service for
his country.
Deceased came here four years ago
and filed upon homestead three miles
south of town. This period was a
struggle but success was in sight as a
sequel to his labors, and his being
taken at this time seems particularly
sad. On the day of his death, the
deceased sent remittance to cover a
life insurance premium, remarking, as
he paid Postmstress Ferguson for the
money order: This may do my folks
some good some day." Within a few
hours he had met violent death.
A widow and four children, in ad.
dition to two stepsons, are left to
mourn this mans taking away. One
son, Louis, resides in Tonopah, while
another son, Charles and two daughters,
Amelia and Francis, reside in Bakers
field, California. Relatives have been
notified and the funeral will occur upon
their arrival.
