Farmers of That Vicinity Wake

ness even II they had TO go down in
their jeans 10 pay for Il. We are glad
10 see the spirit take hold OF them, for,
as our friend Becker says, Liberty has
a fine lot of industrious farmers and
good farms, but there is always some
thing to learn and the best way TO do
IL is by exchanging ideas.
At an enthusiastic meeting last Mon
day evening an organization was eff
fectedffor the purpose OF holding an
institute by the selection of the follow
ing officers:
President-Theobolt Leininger.
Vice President-R. B. Morrison.
Secretary-S. l.. Evans.

The institute will be held in the clos
ing week Of February. Another meet
ing will be held next Tuesday evening
to formulate a program and make such
other arrangements as is necessary.

Saloon Tax
Fails to Stop
Rising Rate
D IMendon Heraldl

Nearly every one who returns from
paying taxes complains Of the increase.
We notice that the increase on our
Office effects is nearly one-third. At
that rate the taxpayers are certainly
piling up huge sums in the treasury.
The question naturally arises, why
is this inerease7 Everything points to
the fact that In this day of retreneh-
ment, economy, and close watch of
expense, taxes should go down instead
Of up. With officers salaries reduced
from that of few years ago (under
the old regime of unlimited salaries,)
there ought TO have been a reduction
in the rate long ago, so that the extra,
legitimate expenses which the county
is now assuming would not even bring
IT up 10 the old rate of eight or ten
years ago.
Another thing, one would suppose
from what the salOonists and their
friends said two years ago and since,
that the saloon tax would be almost
all that was necessary, and yet we find
that in one of the wettest counties in
the state, the tax rate clear out of rea-
son and at last accounts still climbing.
If ever anybody did believe in such
talk the present high rate would dis
pei such belief. Let's hear no more
talk about the saloon tax lowering the
rate

for children. They act direct on the
nerves and muscles Of the bowels.
They have a neutral action on the 9TH
