1t Is Shameful.

On top of the general increase in tn,
cost Of living comes a bundle of extr,
taXes-unnecessary taxes If the gov
eminent were run as a business under
taking is run. No business house II
the world could last ole year if handled
in the reckless manner in which this
government is handled.
We all know it-and yet we all per
nit it. If the public affairs of the
country, state and city were properly
conducted-and by business men-t the
taxes would be reduced by half, and we
would get much more service for our
money.
And if the affairs Of the creditors of
the collapsed First National Bank Of
this city were run by those in charge
in conscientious and business way,
the creditors should receive much near
er dollar for dollar than is now likely.
Laws permitting of anything to the
contrary are a fraud and delusion, and
ought to be wiped out. Any matter
wherein the government assumes the
guardianship of a thousand or more
people, made up largely of struggling
laborers and widows, should receive
first consideration with determination
for prompt settlement and relief, inso-
far as its charges are concerned and
with but little if any cost to them
Such a process would simply be govern
ment for the people.

One day last week fourteen young
Hereford cows had their first expert
ence with whisky on the farm of John
David, near Monroe, and eight of them
are dead as a result. Six are SOLDERING
up and philosophizing. Heavy rains
soaked through the silo in which fodder
was stored. The fluid fermented and
gathered in puddles about the bottom
of the structure. The cows partook
and zigzagged toward creek on the
farm. Six were hauled out, but the
others met death.
