to every loyal West Virginian,
and they are proud of the fact
that our State can provide so
well for these institutions, and
the reason we are exPending
twice as much money now as the
Democrats did for State purposes
is because we age doing much
more than twice as much for
them.
Does any citizen of our State
want to do less, especially since
it is costing them nothing on
their real estate and personal
property?

A glance at this table Will dis
close that we spent twice twice
as much on these institutions as
did the Democrats. yet they col
lected IS cents on the 500 va1u-
alton of all the property in the
State, and we collected ~ cents
in 1917, in the years for which
comparisons are used. want
you to glance over the receipts
for the year 1911. and 1 will en-
deavor to show where we got the
money to run the State govern
ment, which is costing twice the
amount it cost under Governor
MacCorElle's administration, al
though we collected nothing di-
rectly from the real estate or
personal property. You Will no.
tice the receipts of the State from
license taxes for 1911, which
amounted to SSoI ,o6o.46. In
1896, under Democratic rule,
there was collected only SIsz,-
oo7.I4 or about 100000 more
received from this source under
Republican management than
under Democratic rule.
do not attribute all this large
increase to the enforcement of
the law IN the collection of these
taxes, but no small amount of
the increase is due alone to the
vigilance of the Republican Off
GERS. Under Democratic rule no
one looked particularly after the
money due the State from this
source. AS sample, a show

Notice again item, Tax on
Seal" S2,7o5.o7- We had the
same law when the Democrats
were in power, but nothing re-
ported for the last year of Gov
ernor MacCoEsle's administra-

been some money that went into
the State treasury from this
source.
Collateral Inheritance Tax.
Notice this item. In seventeen
years there was collected by the
Democrats $4,000, In round
numbers, from this source. The
records show that in the coIlec-
ton of these taxes the officers
were very Indifferent, and mex
cusably careless. When we came
in power we went back and coll
lected thousands of dollars that
belonged to the State-in some
cases back seventeen years, or to
the time the Dill was passed and
became a law. This money
should have been collected by the
Democratic officers. OF course
there were many instances where
estates had been settled up,
where the property consisted Of
personal property. the money
had been spent and was beyond
our reach, and thousands of dol
lars were lost in this way to the
State. We collected, under the
same law, two-thirds as much IN
two years as the Democrats col
lected IN seventeen years from
this source. We have since
amended the law until it now av-

The HERALD WINS

Anton C. Weiss and Stillman Bing-
ham of the Duluth Herald have
scored victory.
And they have scored it for the
people of the state. 1t was reserved
for Democratic publication to fight
for the people in their demand for
an extra session and the enactment
of state wide primary.
The country press generally fell
into line and worked for the readers.
The Herald never faltered. Even
after the governor said he would not
call a session the Herald kept on the
job.
The call just issued justifies that
paper.
This action is of more than casual
interest to Redwood Falls people as
the editor of the Herald is former
Redwood Falls boy of whom the city
and county are proud. They are
glad to see that the spirit of pro-
gressiye independence that charact-
erizes this county and city is still
present with Mr.. Weiss and find ex-
preston through the columns Of his
paper.

the young people of Redwood Falls.
Around you still hang the glory and
the hell Of war. You cannot march
without stirring the smoke of Shilo.
without sounding the awful cannon
ade of Gettysburg, and re-enacting
the tragedy of the Wilderness.
Before you, wherever a soldier
marches or the flag swings into the
wind. goes the form of the best
loved American, the sorrow scanned
and pity haunted face of the Great
Lincoln. You, soldiers, speak his
name in whispers. You knew him
as we never can. But through you,
your lives. your endurance, your
patriotism, your courage. your
steadtast defence of Liberty, we
catch sight of the spirit of Lincoln
and we know what he must have
been when he stood president of the
United States and commander in
chief Of the greatest army ever
called into the field.
You were part of that army. You
and such as you made the United
States in which we live today.
AS we are patriots, as we are
Americans proud of our liberty and
our country, as we believe that we
too could go forth onto the blood
stained field if occasion demanded,
SO we pay tribute to you and to your
work.

THE THREE CHAIRS

The first chair was tiny-a high chair
baby was tied in the seat;
"A fat. hungry child he crowed and he smiled
While waiting for something to eat.
A mother kept watch DER this diner
For fear he might make the chair fall.
And now we are done with chair number
one,
The first little chair of them all
The second chair. thirty years later
Held a boy who was handsome and
strong;
In a gilded cafe, with roysterers gay,
He let the swift hours slip along.
A waiter kept watch DER this diner.
For fear he might make the chair fall
And now we are through with chair number
two,
The merriest chair of them ALL
The third chair was back of a barroom,
In a corner all dingy and dark;
m an worn and thin had pleaded for gin
Because it was cold in the PARK.
No soul kept watch DER this outcast-
They knew he had met with his fall.
He was sleeping, you see, in chair number
three,
The last little chair of them all.
William F. Kirk.
