OUR LAST WORD

In at least one expression Hen
r.y George was right: 81 am for
MEN"
When you go to the polls this
year vote for MEN. 1t is all
right to vote for measures" If
the MAN fills the measure; other
wise you get short changed. You
may own the best gun on earth,
but it's the man behind the gun
that makes its work effective.
No principle is strong enough to
bear the weight OF an individual
who has Mt the interest OF the
people at heart.
1t is costing the taxpayers too
much to run the expenses OF gov
eminent. We don't know Just
where the leaks occur, but we
know that they DO occur. We
are NOT going to accuse an official
of crookedness. We are simply
going to ask you to do what any
business man would do when his
employee is costing him too
much-change employees.
You have been told that Gov.
Hawley is responsible for the
high taxes, and you have been
told SO by men IN whom you
have had confidence in the past.
If you know anything about the
machinery of government, you
know that MIR. Hawley has no
more to do with levying taxes
than you or |, and that every
dollar OF taxes levied during
Hawley's administration has
been levied by those opposed to
him politically. Every year we
pay out thousands of dollars for
teaching the science OF govern
ment, and when we tell the people
that the governor of our state
levies taxes we insult the intelli-
gence OF every child over the age
OF ten years, and misstate facts.
And any voter that casts his bal
lot against Hawlsy because of
the charge that he is responsible
Tor the high taxes prevailing,
simply advertises the fact that
ne rs Incompetent to comprehend
the advantages of a free govern
ment.
And in regard to Senator Bo-

cause to do so, and fewer still
who know that cause. Yet we
