a Garrick Trick,

One of the best of the stories that
have been preserved relating to David
Garrick's remarkable faculty for i'm
personation is that one about holiday
that he and he French comedian Pre-
vile had when the English Roscius
was visiting in Paris.
One morning Garrick and his French
colleague were waiting in diligence
to start for Versailles. The driver re-
fused to bulge until at least four pas
sengers would undertake the trip. Gar
rick jumped out and. changing his gait
and voice. hailed the coachman on the
box and got in again. He repeated the
trick three times. each time with a
different voice and appearance. The
driver. thinking he was now full in
side.' joyfully cracked his whip and
galloped away with the two actors for
his only passengers.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of tie mucous surfaces.

High Tax Handicap.

Harry w. .Bolens compares the rate
of taxation in Wisconsin with that in
other states, showing that it is much
higher per capita in this state than in
Iowa or Illinois.
The total receipts for Wisconsin for
the year ending on June 80, 1911, was
$50. 513, 235. 33 and for the year ending
on June 80, 1912, was S11, 239, 675. 49, a
total of S21, TSP, 91076, or an average
of $40, 876, 455. SO. The population of
Wisconsin is 2, 1873, $50; this means that
every man, woman and child in the
state; including Indians, contributed by
direct taxation each year SAX Sc.
The receipts for the state of Iowa
/ for the two wears ending on June 80,
1912, was So, 27O, 1924. SO. The popula-
ton of Iowa is 2,224, III. This means
| that every man woman and child in
Iowa contributed direct by taxation
each year sos.
! The average receipts for the state of
Illinois for two years ending October /,
| 1912. was $40, 659, 1854 55 for each year.
The population of Illinois is 5,648, 591.
| This means that every man, woman
and child in Illinois contributed directly
by taxation for each of the above years
the sum of $1.88.
Therefore the average family of five
in Iowa contributes $10.40 per year.
The average family of five in Illinois
contributes S940 each year. while the
average family of five in Wisconsin
contributes S23 80 per year.
| The daily papers of October 5, in
press dispatch from Madison, stated
that the amount of money paid out by
the state treasurer for salary to state
employees for tpe month of September,
and it showed that the total salary for
Wisconsin officials and employees
amounted to the enormous sum of
SIS, 900, 900 annually. With this great
drain on the pocketbook of the Wiscon-
sin taxpayer is it to be wondered that
the average family contributes the sum
of $23. 80 a year for the state taxes
when the Illinois taxpayer contributes
only S9.4O?
If we figure this 5000, 900 salary into
the population of the state, which is,
according to the last census, 2, 1873, $50,
| it shows that it costs each inhabitant
of this state 81. 13 each year to pay the
salaries of the state employees. 1t costs
Wisconsin taxpayers Is cents more per
capita each year to pay salaries alone
than it costs the inhabitants of Illinois
| to run the whole state government.

THE constitutional amendments to be
voted on at the coming election deserve
a careful scrutiny of every voter lest
something be put over US that we do
not quite understand. In communi-
cation to the GAINESVILLE Gazette warn
ing is issued to the people to beware of
amendment No. whose purport is said
to enable the legislature to buy four
city blocks in Madison for park pur-
poses. The pith of the communication
is contained in the following: If any,
thing were lacking to prove the low
opinion held by our state officials of the
average voters intelligence, this bare
faced outrage ought to supply the
omission. If the coterie of political
leeches and real estate spectators at
Madison really believe that their scheme
is good one, why not frankly state
what the purpose of this amendment in
fact is, namely, to permit the next leg
islature to acquire the title of four city
blocks in Madison, at cost of more
than ten millions of dollars, level the
buildings thereon to the ground and
build park sloping from the new cap
itol building to the west shore of Lake
MOnOna.

RIGHT on the verge of election with
the evident purpose of appeasing the
wrath of the taxpayers, the state ad-
ministration announces with a good
deal of JUNCTION that $1,000 600 in state
taxes is to be RENTED. What non
sense this talk of remission as a
subtle political argument when taxes
never were so high in Wisconsin-state
taxes-when public expenditures never
were so great. Remission" simply
signifies nothing of advantage to the
individual. Not copper comes back
to his picked pocket as the result Of
this heralded remission" Once paid
out his tax is gone forever and next
year his taxes are twirled up another
peg Just the same as if there had been
no understanding remission. " That
is capital word to juggle with. 1t
sounds we'll but pays no dividends. The
taxpayers money is gone. That's all
there is to it, Two million RENTED
yet not dollar of it within reach of
any mortal who contributed to the
fund! If the state treasury is so full,
what on earth was the need of the in
come tax, anyway?

RAILWAY STATIONS
 AND EXPRESS COMPANIES
Two Foremost Matters Now Before
 Corporation Commission.

The question which has been raised quiring the Santa Fe and the Ari- zona and Eastern to erect either new separate stations or q union station in this city, will in all probability be taken up by the corporation commis- sion within a short time In fact the commission has already consider ed the matter to some extent, fol- lowing the receipt of tke letter writ ten Wednesday by the attorney gen eral; and it is probable that as soon as the street car case is out of the way a definite plan of procedure will be formulated.
 It is said that while the railroad companies are ready to act on the suggestion contained in the attorney generals letter that better facilities for the handling of passengers here should be provided. they are not taken with the union station idea So, just as the matter stands now the chances seem against the adoption of that pan.
 Another matter Jldt mas been brought to the attention of the com
 mission is the unsatisfactory prac-
 tices of the Wells Fargo Express company regarding the delivery of eX- press matter There has been con- siderable complaint regarding what is regarded as the unjust treatment of patrons in the refusal to deliver pack ages: and there is a probability that the commission will be asked to re- quire the company to make deliveries at all points within the city limits in all cities such as Phoenix. Tucson Bisbee and some others.
 One uneXplainabie practice pursued
 by the companys employees is that O making deliveries at times and at other times refusing to make deliver
 ies at the same address. As there are
 no large cities in Arizona and nOn' covering a large area it is said de liveries could well be made as indi- cated above with but little additiOna trouble or expense.

PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.

WASHINGTON, June % President Taft tonight made the following statement: The na- tional convention of one O. the great parties is ordinarily inn pOrtaIt only as a preliminary to d national campaign for the @lec tiOn of d president. The Chicago convention just ended is much more than this and is ju itself the end of a pre- -cOnVeLtiCnScam paign presentig crisis more threatening of issue and more important than those of the cleo tion campaign which is to fol- low between the two great na- tional parties
 The question here at stake was whether the republican party was to change it's atti- tude as the chief cOnserVatOr of constitutional, representative government and was to weaken legislative guaranties of life, liberty and property, declared sacred in. the bill rights, by abandoning the principles of the absolute independence of the judiciary, essential to mainten ance of these rights.
 The campaign carried on to seize the republican party and make it an instrument reckless ambition and the unsettling of fundamental principles of our government was so sudden un- expected. that time was not given to clearly show the peo- pie and the party the dangers which confronted them.
 It was sought to break the wise valuable traditions of the government of more than two terms to any one man in the presidency and the danger from it's breach can not be measured. Importance of the great victory occurred cannot be over estl- mated All over the country patriotic people tonight are breathing more freely that most serious menace to our re- publican institution has been averted.
 It is enough now to say that whatever may happen in No vember. a great victory for the republican party and the United States is already won. The par ty remains the great powerful organiZa ton for carrying out its patriotic principles, as an agen- cy for real progress and the development of the nation along constitutional lines upon which it has been constructed and has ever been maintained and it's future opportunity for useful ness is as great as it's achieve ments of the past
 MT Taft said tonight that he was much in favor of having his secretary. Charles D. Hilles, made chairman of the republi- can national committee.

The decision of the Roosevelt peo- ple to refrain from voting left no other candidate near the president. The announcement of Tafts victory was greeted with mingled cheering, groans and misses. Convention lead CTS had decided to give Taft as running mate his companion on the ticket in 1908 All others were drop ped from the race and Sherman was the only candidate regularly placed before the convention There were many scattering votes on the roll call that ensued.

FLOOD PREVENTION.

The Mississippi is the nations drain age ditch. Flood waters gathered from thirty-oue states and the Dominion of Canada constitute an over towering force which breaks levees, pours over millions of acres of the richest lard in the union. It is believed that the federal government should assume a fair proportion of the burden to control and so prevent future disasters
