THE COST OF NEW POLITICAL
METHODS

Colorado is finding the commission
form of government a tax instead of
blessing, and already movement is
on foot to find relief from the increased
costs
The Direct Legislation league is
much concerned over the matter, it
seems, fearing that unless the de-
mands upon the taxpayers on this
account can be lightened, the initiative
and referendum will be abolished. The
law permits only six referendums a
year. it seems. but these entail greater
expense than the people are likely to
bear without a protest. In Colorado
the propositions to be voted upon have
to be advertised m the newspapers,
and this is found to involve considera-
BILE expense, as the advertisements oc-
cupy a good deal OF space.
The Springfield Union. referring to
this note of discord. says:
There will be many such protests,
we anticipate, before the experiments
with the direct legislation idea have
been carried much farther. Direct pri-
maries of themselves necessitate large
ly increased expense for both candi-
dates and voters And where the in
itiative. referendum and recall are
added to the scheme a new and prolific
source of expense is provided and an
unjust feature of the arrangement is
that q small minority of the citizens
can force an election with it's conse-
quent increase of the burden upon tax
payers. A transient impulse, once
started. may result in the oustiag of
public official, no matter how Just
and meritorious his policies may be-"

Jronino Embroidery.

The small ironing boards known as
bosom boards, which may be bought
for few cents, are excellent for do :
ing up embroidered pieces. When one
of these is used it should be padded
with several thicknesses of table felt,
covered with white muslin and reserv-
ed for embroidery only.
If more housekeepers who have
laundering done in their own homes
would provide their laundress with d
specially padded board for ernbroider d
pieces there would be. fewer occasions
for complaint when such articles come
from; the laundress' hands. ReguIarly
fitted laundries are. of course equip
ped in this way. but the housewife
who uses her kitchen for laundry work
often provides scant equipm emit for this
work.

STATE TAX AS AN EcoNoMIzER.

1T is a mistake to undertake to
eliminate the state tax on Connecticut
towns. The tax has an economic i'm
portance and as a deterrent to ex-
travagant legislation it is of great
importance."-New Haven Journal
Courier.
How is it a mistake, pray tell us.
and at the same time explain how it
has an economic Importance? A state
tax was laid two years ago and if it
has caused the present general assem-
bly, to be economical it has escaped
general notice 1t is generally under
stood that the average legislature is
extravagant, that it spends all the
money in sight, and frequently leaves
deficit. The present Connecticut body
has done this very thing. Suppose
there was state tax and it brought
into the treasury say 100000. What
would be done with it? The money
would undoubtedly be expended, and
1t is quite pertinent to ask where the
economy would come in. 1t is a fall
lacy to suppose that if a state tax is
laid on the different towns that the
representatives of those places will ex-
ercise economy in the expenditure of
public money by the legisia ture. They
don't and won't do it.-New Britain
Herald.
Norwich bulletin., 1911-08-28

The deterrent effect of state tax
is supposed to result when the burden
ptnches the taxpayers so they will be
more careful in the selection of repre-
sentatives. and send men who will act
for the people with good sense and
economy. This is where cause and
effect are largely lima ginary The
bearing of the direct state tax upon
the towns is not equal; nor is it likely
to be under system of equalization
such as the state has today 1t is a
system to equalize which doesn't do it.
as all property holders very well
knew; and public indifference even to
taxes and bond issues doesn't warrant
the expectation that communities will
become more actively awake to a di-
rect state tax which is paid from the
office of the selectmen. The revenues
of the state are ample to meet every
expense if public affairs are managed
with judgment and economy No fund
would ever be large enough for a
spendthrift legisla ture

LIGHT WEIGHT RUGS
FOR SUMMER OUT
New Design Shown In Rag Rugs
Are Popular-Many Shades
In Green.

The fashion Of putting away heavy
rugs with the winser clothing in city
houses, and the increased popularity
of lightweight rugs in country houses
has led to the manufacture Of many
new weaves and a multiplication Of de-
signs in older ~eaves. all comparative
ly inexpensive Undoubtedly the most
attractive feature OF the rug exhibits
always to the front at this season is
the simpler weaves, mostly Of domestic
make.
When the old fashioned rag carpet in
the guise OF small rugs re-entered the
market few seasons ago its designs,
which followed closely those of the
originals, failed to arouse any particu-
lar interest in customers. Its vogue
was uncertain. This season there Is
no uncertainty about the vogue Of the
rag rug. which comes now in all the
regular sizes and in all sorts of colors
and designs at low cost.
Cotton and WOODEN Varieties.
The cheapest variety Is entirely OF
cotton and the best has a wooden warp.
The greatest novelties are seen In the
latter. In one the monotony of the
crosswise line Of brown and ecru is
broken with three large diamond
shaped segments of solid brown bor-
dered with ecru touched up with red
extending down the middle. The rug
is 9x12 feet and is bordered at either
end with four-inch solid stripes of
brown and ecru.
Several shades OF green and of the
deeper pinks are combined in one
weave to give an opalescent effect.
centers of blue, Of pink, Of green, OF
brown finished with a border of plain
contrasting colors or windmills or
landscapes and cottages.

A Missionary Tree.

A missionary, during a Lenten tea,
said. pointedly:
Il have established missionary trees
all over the country. But perhaps you
don't know what a missionary tree is?
A missionary tree is one whose profit
goes entirely to missions.
"A Roxborough farmer has in his ap-
pie orchard golden pippin tree that
helps to support the Chinese mission.
A Florida woman has an orange tree
that helps to uplift the cannibals Of
New Guinea. A California nut farmer
devotes walnut tree to the spread of
the faith In Zanzibar
Missionary trees" the speaker end
