Whereas, The purpose of the Di

beyond cur conception of what is best,
and in the exercise of that will, he has
decreed to remove from the sphere of
his useful and untiring efforts to pro-
mote the welfare. happiness and up
lifting of others, the soul of our late
brother, James Fellows, who has been
faithful and enthusiastic member of
our Camp. always teaching the Golden
Presepts of our order as if they were
set in pictures of silver and gold.
Resolved, That in the death of Bro
Their Fellers, our Camp has sustained
a loss which can only be estimated by
the lapse of time.
Resolved. That while our hearts are
saddened and because of the great loss
that has come to US on this occasion,
we bow to the will of our Heavenly
father in calling brother Fellows from
the scenes of trials to that heavenly
rest which we are taught "Remaineth
to the people of God"
Resolved, That as mark of our es-
teen and sacredness of his memory to
US, we drape our lodge charter for the
space of thirty days.
Resolved, That this tribute Of re-
spect, be entered upon the records of
our Camp, be published in our town
papers and copy be sent to the rela-
tives of our departed brother.

TAX INCREASE
TALK NONSENSE
JUDGE Nc Whorter Gives a Few
Things To Think About
On Amendments
DESTROYER NEVER A Benefit
1t Is BY Conserving Public Peace,
Health and Morals That We De-
crease the Burdens of Taxa.
tion-Not BY Destroy
ing Them.
[By Judge J. c. McWhorter.l


1t is all nonsense to talk about the
removal of the saloon increasing taxes
on property. 1t is matter of common
knowledge, and every court that has
ever delivered an utterance on the
subject has declared, that the open
peace, health and morals. Everybody
knows this is true. NO one can con-
trovert it. SO universally true Is this
that the courts say they<will take ju-
dicial notice of it. 1t doesn't have to
be proven in court. Then listen: No
man can point to a single instance In
which it increased the burdens of tax
alton to prohibit the doing of thing
which is destructive Of life, public
peace, health or morals.
Think for a minute. You can't re-
call one, and the liquor traffic can be
no exception to the rule. 1t is by the
prohibition of these very things which
are so destructive of life, public peace,
health and morals that we avoid gov
ermental expense and costs. Think
minute:
Slavery was destructive of public
morals Did it increase our burden of
taxes to abolish it? No, only as we
have been compelled to pay a heavy
war debt as the penalty of our folly
and stupidity, in trying to settle a
question like this by the standard of
dollars and cents instead of by the
principles of right and wrong until the
war as a means of settling it became
unavoidable.
Lotteries were violative of public
morals. Did it increase our taxes to
abolish that source of revenue? Not
a penny.
Think minute. The only purpose
OF government Is the preservation of
life, liberty, public health, peace and
morals. All taxes paid are to defray
the expenses Of the government in its
protection and preservation of these
fundamental things. Therefore, we
cut down expenses of government and
save taxes just as we eliminate those
things which are destructive of life.
hcOfNyt pophS PCdSSs ulOEdlS ana
health, and we increase taxes and ex-
penses just as we keep and tolerate in
our midst these things. Isn't that COM
mon sense? Think minute. There
Is no right way of doing wrong thing.
Things evil in themselves can not be |
perpetuated and made source of eco
nomic profit. 1t is contrary to the eter-
nal and unalterable law governing all |
things. Everything in the land which
is thus destructive of life or public |
health, peace or morals, is necessarily
a source of public cost and expense.
We all know this TO be an absolute
fact. And the more we extend a rev |
enue law to license the evil, the more
We spread the evil itself, and the more
we spread the evil the more we in. |
crease the cost to ourselves in hold !
ing it in check. Thus we simply eo
round in the same circle, and in the
end we have nothing of revenue left
because the thing itself eats up its
own revenue. Isn't this common
sense?
