It is the duty of the tax payers to go be-
fore the board of county commissioners and
protest against the budget that Hamilton
and Rutherford propose to put through
within the next three weeks and the same
should be done with the city council ad-
vocating the great increase for 1912. In
view of the fact that neither Hamilton nor
Rutherford expect to be reelected the pro-
test would have little or no effect, but in
case they made an effort to put budget
through in spite of opposition then the mat
ter should be taken into the courts. The
taxes in Seattle are so high that the man
with home is trying to give it away rather

against it.

the tax payers must foot and the same are
included in the county budget.
The same extravigance is found in the
city budget, which is being tabulated for
1912 and it will cost the city nearly mill
ion dollars for automobiles next year, not
one of which is necessary, save those in the

A bulletin. just issued from the Census
Bureau, shows that: Of the whole number,
262, 72O of farms reported in 1910 in Alab-
anna there were 152, BAT, or fifty eight per
cent, operated white farmers and 110, ,273
or AZ per cent, by Negroes and other nom
white farmers, as compared with total of
223, ,220 in 1900, of which 129, 1877, or So per
cent, were conduted by white farmers and
"a, O83, or AZ per cent by Negro and other
non-white. The increase in the number of
farms of white farmers during the decade
amounted to 23,210 and in the number of
farms of Negro and other non-white farm
ers to i6, 200. The principal point to keep in
mind in regard to these figures is that the
colored people in Alabama have bought over
5000 additional farms during the past ten
years, while the white people have bought
$4,000 additional farms. When it is kept in
mind that the colored people of Alabama
are only about 45 per cent, of the whole
population, this is not bad showing by any
means indeed, it is most interesting and
encouraging showing. Exchange

AS long as public officials are permitted
without protest on the part of the tax payers
to spend the money with lavish hand just
50 long will the general taxes continue out
rageously high. In King county the budget
for 1912 has been increased something like
four million dollars and that too IN the face
of the financial crisis which has made times
harder than ever before in the history of
the country, and this making it almost
impossible for the property holders to meet
their tax obligations. Last year it cost but
SS2, 900 to run the county hospital, land yet
in the face of the present strenuous financial
times Commissioner Hamilton has asked
that 1914, 900, be set aside by the board for
the expenses of the hospital next year,

The State Taxpayers league again calls
upon the people of the state to be more care
full of their public expenditures and to

INCREASING TAXES lines. The league
maintains that we
are now in an era of extravaganza, so far
as public monies are concerned, and that If
halt be not called, next year will see us
plunging still further in the direction OF
debt and higher taxes.
Some interesting figures are submitted
showing that in four years the total amount
of taxes annually levied in this state for
state county, municipal and school pur-
poses has almost doubled. Moor will main
tain that the population of tn state or it's
material prosperity has in any degree kept
pace with this increase in expenditures.
Whereas in 1906 the total tax levy was $l4,
O49. .675, 81, in 1910 it was $27, 083, 979.84.
This high figure has been reached by an in
crease each year varing from two to four
millions
AS pointed out by the league 1906 was
wear of unusual prosperity. Since then bus
mess conditions have become quieter. 1t
seems that the public. in it's expenditures,
should pay some attention to this fact. and
try to maintain some relation between taxes
and the ability to pay them.

LaFonette Attacks Press for support
of Canadian Reciprocity.

Washington, July 21.=Assailing the
press of the United States for its sup
port of the Canadian reciprocity bill.
Senator LaFolIette (Wis.) made his
closing speech against the bill in the
Senate today He expressed the be-
lief that newspapers would suffer loss
of influence for the support they have
given to legislation in which he said
they have a direct money interest"
The press has failed in its duty to
the public IN regard to tins legislation
he said.
Mr.. LaFollette referred to testimony
given before the finance committee of
the senate that a newspaper organiza-
tion had sent out a communication to
many papers urging them to favorably
treat the reciprocity agreement. He
depIored this attitude of the news
papers.

rupted him, as a newspaper owner"
who had a direct interest at stake.

cize the senator from Wisconsin" re-
torted Hitchcock, 'for advocating a
duty on paper in the interest of the

Senator LaFoHette said that he did
not favor a duty on paper; that he was
in favor of free print paper and would
propose a measure In that interest as
a direct tariff measure Ee objected
to the reciprocity bill, he said because
the newspa pers would get free paper
at the expense of the farmers whose
duties on their products would be re-
moved.
Mr.. LaFollette defended progressive
Republicans from the charge that they
have changed front on the tariff and
are now opposing a partial tariff revis-
ion as embodied in the reciprocity bill
He said the progressives stood just
WHO'RE they did in the tariff fight of

Shawnee County Has IS More Than
Needed.

Shawnee county this year produced
about S5 more teachers than jobs. For
this reason a number of the county's
promising school ma'ams will tame the
boistrous youngsters in foreign coun-
tries
Last year the county developed AZ
more teachers than We're needed in
the local schools. 1t was fortunate
occurrence. too. Many of the counties
reported a shortage of good looking
educators and they made d rush for
the over production from this county.
Conditions are different this year.
Adverse crop conditions have brought
forth a number of teacher who in
former years found pursuits other
than the school room the more prom
ising. From the great wheat belt in
western Kansas comes the message
that this territory has more teachers
than school buildings For this reason
Kansas may, for the first time in 10
years, have an over production of edu-
Gators.
John T. Eby, county superintendent,
is corresponding with superintendent ents
in outlying counties in an effort to To-
cate the 35 extra Shawnee county
teachers. Some of the number have
been given schools, but the entire list
has not yet been provided for In ad-
dition to the development of too many
teachers. is the fact that Shawnee
more teachers than year ago. But
the growth of the county's public
school facilities will not provide room
for all of the men and women who
are armed with certificates to teach.

sion in order that they might cooper
ate in their efforts to suppress the
jointists of that county.
Then came a legion of affidavits
from different personages, all bearing
witness to the unimp peachabIe char
acter of Sheriff Martin and his activ
ity as law enforcement official.
Some of these affidavits attacked the
motives of Vernie Adams, former
deputy sheriff of Cherokee county, and
alleged that Adams, in his charges
against Martin, was actuated by Jeal-
ousy and a desire to get aMrti1's job.
In fact. there were a dozen affidavits
by Judge Sapp, by jointists, ex-joint-
lists, prohibitionists and others, bear
ing witness to Sheriff Martins good
works. Some of these attacked Vernie
Adams integrity and motives. Now
it was upon Adams affidavits that
part of the foundation for the charges
against Sheriff Martin rested. At
torney General Dawson stated today
that one reason he did not instigate
the suit aginst Sheriff Martin sooner
was because he wanted to collect ad-
ditiOnal evidence, as he was convinced
that Martins attorneys would try to
impeach Adams testimony. Dawson
had the right "hunch." They did. Af-
fidavits by the dozen were introduced
today that attacked Adams from ev-
cry angle.
Dawson is convinced that Adams is a
good man and true and tnaT MS al
legations against Martin are well
founded.
Counter Affidavits Filed.
Attorney General Dawson impeached
many of the Martin affidavits at the
morning session Of the court and had ,
lot of ammunition saved up for the
afternoon session Dawson also had an
affidavit from the same county at
torney to the effect that Sheriff Martin
had made no complaints to him about
the people who had stolen beer seized
in raids or who had sold beer obtained
the same way.
The charges against Martin are
many, and they aver that he was dere-
lict in his duty as an officer, especially
in regard to the enforcement of the
prohibitory law. It has been alleged on
every hand that but little of the wet
goods and none of the bar fixtures
seized in joint raids in Cherokee we're
ever destroyed. But that they were
sold or given away over the county.
The sheriff is held responsible for this
state of affairs.
The trial of the case against Sheriff
Martin was continued by the court into
the afternoon session. Attorney Gen
eral Dawson. Senator Brewster, his as
sistant, and c. W. Trickett, special
counsel for the governor, are conduct
| ing the states case against the sheriff.
