Off cial vanity, in the opinion OF DR..
Brltton ID. Evans, the noted alienist
and medical director of the Morris
Plains hospital for the insance.

any other State in the Union. Jerome

go on the stand if Jerome really
wished II, but he doesn't. | have no
wish to cater to the vanity Of an al
ready inflated prosecutor. who would
abridee the Ten commandments TO

Three elements are at work against
Thaw's release. One Is judicial cour-
tesy. Judges dislike to oyerrule each
others judgments. The second is oft-
cial vanity, and the third Is the pro-
fessional constituencies Of group Of
alionists who would rather see ii sane
man end his life In refuge for the
criminal insane than reverse their
opinions and acknowledge themselves

The largest item in the classified
list OF public expenses is that OF edu-

OF the gross expenditures. The total
number of pupils attending the public
schools in 1910 was 440,083 and the
gross sum expended in that year for
teachers salaries and other educa-
tional expenses amounted to $13,724,-

of $31.18 for each pupil attending the
public schools in that year.
Minnesota early in its history took
an advanced position in educational
matters and for more. than fifty years
it has steadily maintained that posi-
ton. 1t is justly proud of its splendid
school system. 1t has no apologies
to make for spending two-ffths of its

it's liberal and progressive educational

districts, due to local conditions, as a
general proposition the benefits re-
ceived are not only worth more but
cost the state more than the amount
contributed in taxes by the average
citizen.
The cost alone of educating one
child in the public schools is one and
one-half times as much as the per
capita cost of state and local govern
ment for all purposes. II the cost OF
the other benefits we enjoy as the
fruits of taxation could be computed

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1912-05-29

Up to a comparatively recent period
taxes were regarded by most people
as q necessary evil. The old proverb
that nothing is certain but taxes
and death" expressed the public view.
This attitude Of the public mind was
In part at least an inheritance from
the days when taxes were tribute
laid by rulers on their subjects. Lit
tie attention was given to the man
ner in which such taxes were levied,
or the rules governing equality Of con-
tribution. Often the people received
but little in return for their money,
and Of course, tried to pay Just as lit
tie as possible.
Today, however, taxes are levied
and collected for public purposes and
not for private gain They are not
now regarded as tribute, but as q
reasonable and just contribution from
those enjoying the benefits and pro-
lection of organized society, called
Ia e .
government, to enable it to do certain
things for the welfare Of all the peo-
pie that If left for each citizen to do
for himself would be more expensive
and less effective.
While the 'ttax dodger" is still with
us the average citizen is now willing
to pay his just proportion of the cost
of government, feeling that the money
so paid is, generally speaking, wisely
and judiciously spent in promoting
the public welfare. He realizes the
value and importance of good schools,
Of good roads, Of fire protection, of
health and sanitation. Of courts and
public officers for the administration
and enforcement of law and order, and
of the many other things now required
Of government BY enlightened and pro
gressive nations. s
In the report Of the tax commission
for 1910 there is a very interesting
study of the cost of government made
by Prof. Hess, then of the State Uni
versity. Taking the expenditures un.
der appropriate heads and the popula-
ton, he derives from them the per
capita cost of the administration Of
the state and it's minor divisions. He
found that it cost $2o.92 for each man,

INTERVENTION IS
MADE POSSIBLE
Senate Committee 10 Recon-
mend Legislation.
CUBAN SITUATION IS CRAVE.
State Department Suggests to Navy
Department Concentration Of Ma
val Vessels at Key West.

Washington, May Ex-senator Ba-
con of Georgia, declaring in the senate
that the president would have no
authority of law for sending an armed
force into Cuba, introduced resolu-
ton, which passed, instructing the
committee on foreign relations to sug-
gest legislation authorizing interven-
ton there under the conditions pro-
vided for in the so called Plat amend
ment. This amendment, which ap-
piled to an old law, governs the Unit
ed States course toward Cuba.
Washington, May 26.-The state de-
partment has taken up with the navy
department the matter of concentrat-
ing several battleships at Key West,
Fla, SO as to have a naval force In
close proximity to Cuba in the event
American property should be 5eopar-
died and the Cuban government and
the American force already on the isl

to give protection.
The number of warships to render
vous at Key West will be left to the
discretion of the navy department,
but 1t is declared at the state depart
ment there will be enough ships to
steam to various parts of the island
with suficient forces to guard Amert-
can property.
Private dispatches to the state de-
partment all agreed that the negro
revolutionary movement in Cuba was
hourly growing more serious.
The Washington government, 1t can
be stated, is preparing for eventuali-
ties, but will wait another day or two
before sending any more marines or
troops to the island. The Cuban gov
eminent will be given adequate time
to demonstrate its ability or inability
to clear out at least part of the
revolution before the American forces
now en- route to Guantanamo are aug
mented.
The plans for increasing the armed
forces of the United States In Cuba, 1t
is carefully pointed out here, do not
contemplate intervention. The troops
would be used merely as protective
force.

TO WITHDRAW
Dixon Says President Should
Abide by Primaries.

Washington, May Ex-senator DIX
on, head of .the Roosevelt national
headquarters, has issued statement
practically calling on President TAFT
to withdraw from the presidential con-
test.
"Ohio makes the tenth Republican
state where the candidacy Of Mr.. Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt has been sub
mitted to the Republican voters them
selves for decision" said Senator Dix
on's statement. "The verdict has been
a unanimous one in every state.
"The Republican party is bigger
than the ambition of any one man.
The one wise patriotic thing to be
done is for Mr.. Taft and his managers
now to accept the unanimous verdict
of the Republican primary states and
to withdraw from the contest. Neither
he nor his manager longer can with
stand the nationwide movement that
calls for Roosevelt once again to as.
sumo the leadership of the Republic
an party. His nomination at Chicago
IS inevitable and his election In No
vember Is certain"
