GOLD CONTROLS PRICES.
Its Production Factor in High Cost
of Living, Says Burton.

In an address this afternoon before

section Of the American Association Tor.

Cause OF High Prices" Senator Theo-
dore E. Burton of Ohio said it was I'M
possible to solve the problem without
an understanding of the following
fundamental facts:
Scientific progress has multiplied
the stock of useful articles and the
facilities of modern life This has maze
POSSIBLE a constantly rising standard
Of living.
This progress is unequal in diner
ent branches of human endeaVor, anu
causes some prices to rise while otners
fall The most marked contrast Is oe-
tween the production of gold. the sup

"One inevitable result OF progress Is
overaction in various lines and a cohsfu,

In progressive eraS. In each or these
there was a great increase IN the supply
of precious metals The same conuilloi,
now is i'm evidence with the addltionai
as a basis for credit upon which SO large

Thus the increased quantity of gold Is the

many of which are obsolete.
The probable outworking of the PROP

Decreased Assessments.

Are we growing poorer, or are
we growing wiser2 Have we less
property in Nebraska, or are we
merely learning how to fib to
the assessors? Twenty-nine coun-
ties hat have reported their as
sessments show a falling off OF
$249,574 in their assessed valua-
ton, aud it has been estimated
that the n%inety-two counties will
show a drop of perhaps $1,000
600. Tax sharks are not able, to
agree as to the cause Of this de-
crease. One county assessor
claims that SO far as his county
is concerned the lower assessed
valuation this year is just about
in proportion to the decreased
value Of farm products and farm
animals, and thus he attributes
the slump to lower prices.
Others do not believe that the
relatively small amount of grain
and livestock in farmers hands
at the first Of April would affect
the total assessment so greatly.
Men who hold this latter opin-
ion attribute the slump to the in
creasing wisdom of the people in
tax lodging. When the new
revenue law went into effect in
Nebraska in 1904 it was like a
new broom-it swept clean and
the people had a wholesome fear
of all penalties attached to false
returns. 1t appears now that we
r getting the system tanned SO
that we are not afraid of it. AT
all events a man whose property
is in merchandise or securities
need pay no more tax than he
feels like paying. Paying a per-
sonal porperty tax is a good deal
like making a donation to the
church-every man losses just
what he feels like giving upon
the public plate.
A good many reforms have
been accomplished i'll Nebraska
within recent years, so that pro
gressives here are somewhat at a
loss as to what to take up next.
Surely this question of equitable
taxation is big enough game to
make it interesting to such peo-
pie. It is a question of growing
Importance, and will .undoubted-
ly be commanding general atten-
ton within a few years. The
very first thing necessary, how
ever, before reform can proceed
is an amendment to our consti-
tuition making reform possible.

A-Rnsv Man.

Writing up news IS not the
chief work Of a country editor
not by a long shot. The news
work is the least of his labors.
The average man believes that
all a country editor has to do IS
to go around with his note book
in hand jotting down Il few per-
sonals, write up a few desultory
thoughts on large affairs. go 10
press and milk down the receipts.
The truth IS different, p" says
Walt Mason. The country edi-
tor has 10 make much Of the
news lie writes. The commercial
club, the church. the base ball
team, ihe college, the law and
order league, the county central
committee. the whist club, and
the good roads movement all
must feel the influence of his
guiding hand. He must be in
everything and run errands for
everyone, pass the paper, get the
hall, hire the band, send out the
circulars, deliver the address Of
welcome, do the town lying for
harmony $ sake and hold the
sack. lie must be guide, philoso-
pher and friend to those in
trouble, and be mentor and adj
monisher to those who are about
to get into trouble. The preach
er, the town drunkard, the states
man, the social climber, the real
estate boomer, the man from the
grand lodge who is about to eX-
emplify the new work, the pro-
moter, the broken soldier kindly
babe TO stay, the captain of in
dustry and the girl with the ia
therless baby, all come to him to
help them i'll their troubles. lie
lie the town confessor, the town
boomer and the town goat, door
mat, rock OF refuge, errand boy
and the yiearlous sacrificer. The
editor is the only creature in all
the wide animal kingdom thai
needs the wings of a dove, the
strength of u lion, the protective
odor of the skunk, the smooth,
crawling belly of the worm of the
dust, and the aspirations of a
god

Some years ago. writes Edi-

Journal, q slung a strag shoe
in this column at one of the lazy,
gadding good-for-nothing girls of
this community who was then

pots and skillets and do up all
the homework while she read
yellow-backed novels, bummed
the streets where the loaferS
would speak to her in passing,
and met trains at the Santa Fe
depot. | said then, right about
here in this column, that some
day she would get her pay out
of the mills of the gods. She's
got it. For more than a year she
has been supporting a worthless

tub in a neighboring city. He is
