AS an instance, | will mention one
bill passed last sesslon--a local bill
for Lee county-making the entire
county special road district, and
issuing bonds to the extent of$1000,-
900, and to tax each male person
between the ages Of 81 and 50years,
who had resided in the county ten
days, an annual tax OF SIS. These
bonds were issued and bids adver-
tised for. The bonds were sold to
Bolger & Co., of Chicago,
Now let us turn the sunlight on
this local bill. See how it looks!
Where does the burden fall? Lee
countyis Mississippi River county,
with its large plantations of as rich
and fertile soil as can be found in
any state or country owned by a
few wealthy planters and rented by
the poor class.
Does the rich man pay on his vast
wealth to redeem those bonds? No!
No! His poor renters, even the most
poverty stricken of them, pay each
their So. The landlord also pays
his So annually, This burden OF tax
alton will grind these perhaps till
most OF them are consigned to the
grave and their children must take
up the burden,
Now ! am not that sort of a Dem
ocrat. am in favor equal rights
for all and special privileges for
none, The value of these planta-
tions will perhaps Be almost doubled
while the poorest renter is taxed as
heavily as the land owner. Shame
on such legislation! Since Initiative
and Referendum first began to be
agitated, have been its strong ad-
vocate; and as the burden of tax
alton is heavy TO be borne, there is a
movement on foot for the people TO
take the matter in hand and use the
initiative to shorten sessions of the
Legislature and secure a reduction
in public expenditures,
We expect to shorten the session
to sixty days, and if the session is
extended, members are to receive
only enough to meet necessary ex-
penscs, This is only an outline Of
what we are forced to do 20 protect
ourselves from the burden of tax.

give every elector a chance to sign
an Initiative petition for a short
session and a reduction of public ex-
penditures. You will hear from me

Firemen's Fruitless Task.
Stream after stream was poured down

LIST OF OFFENDERS GIVEN
Sample Packages Purchased and
Contents Analysed, Disclosing
Percentages of Impurities.

Following the instructions of Congress
in the agricultural appropriation bill, the
secretary of Agriculture this year con-
unued the purchase of seed in the open
market TO determine whether and how
much aduiteration was practiced by seed
dealers. These samples were analyzed
and the names of offending seedsmen
have been published.
The leaf1et with the names Of the deal
ers from whom adulterated samples were
purchased shows that when a dealer has
once been published it is seldom that he
is again caught in the list When the
department has been Analysing a certain

there are more offenders caught

There were 1914 samples of seed pur-
chased, some of them in bulk and some
by mail order OF these 24 were found
to be adulterated. There was some i'm
provement in the line of orchard grass
seed examined. There were 81 samples
ahaiyZed, and of these twelve were found
adu!terated, compared with fifty-five
aduiterated samples the previous wear.
In the worst samples found there was 81
per cent of orchard grass seed and - per

This was the first year that analysis
had been made of redtop seed 1t was
found that this was badly adulterated

timothy seed ran as high as rs per cent,
though this sample was worse than the
average.
The offending dealers were scattered all
over the country from New England to

next year it will pay more attention to
the far west and the Pacific coast. 1t
also intends to take up the examination
of some new lines of seed.
