Taxes and Revenues

Rock Island, H., Feb. 24.-Editor
The Argus: Some time ago, in reply
ing to a statement made by me, you
asked me to give you credit for pub
fishing items furnished to you in re-
gard to questions OF interest to the
public. / take this opportunity to
state that, while you have never re-
fused to publish such communications.
on the other hand, have known you
TO devote a great deal of space to the
speeches Of other men, and in regard
to this, l assure you realize that you
are the editor of your paper and con-
cede to you the right 10 do as you
please in the matter of publishing
news of any kind.
At this time | wish to call the pub
lie attention to the article in your
issue OF Feb. %, 1919, in which you
give a full column under a slug head,
entitled. County in Need of Special
Levy: Finance Committee Finds That
Expenses Are Increasing Each Year, u
and in your article under the title
Estimated Expenditures" you had an
item entitled, County Orders" totaled
at $S2.S5S.71. The balance of the
estimated expenditures" you itemize
making a total OF $124,sS7SS; SO thai
you see the bulk Of estimated expendi
lures is not itemized by you.
have been watching this tax ques
ton for years. have noted with con
siderable anxiety the increase in oul
county expenditures as well as ths
failure and refusal OF the millionaire
taxdodgers to pay their taxes.
II you will itemize this $50 1858. n
you will find that it is made up large
ly OF jail expenses. sheriffs fees ant
unnecessary taxes imposed upon US by
pernicious, vicious prosecutions anC
prosecutions Of poor people.
note in your issue Of Feb. 20, 1912
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-02-26

the day after you published the other
statement, an item entitled six Wom-
en- Are Fined by Judge R. W. Ohm
sted" / also note in your item that
you state that each one OF these
women was fined $500 and costs and
sentenced to remain in jail until fines
are paid"
This means an expense to the county
Of 80 cents a day for each one of these
women to the sheriff. Each fine laid
out at $3.50 per day will take 1SS
days; so that by boarding these pris-
oners means the sheriff will receive
from the taxpayers Of this county
$22O40. These women will require
medical care and attention, a supply
of drugs from the county and other
expenses too numerous to mention.
Their expenses will at least be $500
for 1913 days
These women are being prosecuted
under the guise of cleaning up the
town. Whether the town has been
cleaned up or not any fair minded man
can guess by the fact that so many
raids are being made and such results
are being produced.
! note in the same issue Of your
paper under the title "Foodpad Fails
in Holdup Try" You say You had bet
ter carry a young cannon along with
you," etc.
The point l am making is this:
While you are heralding the arrest and
prosecution of these people you also
show how meaningless and useless
and expensive 1t is. Who are the pro
motors Of this cleaning up process
these prosecutions-these persecu
tons? If you will investigate you viii
find that the millionaire taxdodgerE
are the cause of a great deal of the
poverty, and to hide their own sim
under one guise and another, with the
''holier than thou" spirit, they urge
the sheriff, states attorney and oul
officials to prosecute, persecute anC
torment these people. And the sher
if, States attorney and our Officials
are allowing these millionaire tax
dodgers to go absolutely UNPUBLISHED
when each one is subject to fine o
not less than $40 and not more thai
$4,000. And as a common citizen ant
taxpayer, l shall strenuously oppos,
any special levy of taxes upon tn,
common taxpayer until the million
aire taxdodges are made to pay thei
taxes.
| strenuously oppose paying the ez
penses of prosecuting, prosecuting an,
torturing the Imprisonment of thes
people, while the millionaire TAI
dodgers walk the streets unpunishe
reformers.

To Darker the Hair and Re-

to Its Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color Of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made Usage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
ceginniag 70 appreciate the wisdom of
our gTandmothers in using Ftsage teal
for their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan-
tage Of the past in that it can get 9
ceacy-to-use preparation called Wyeth'E
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As G
scalp tonic and color restorer this prap-
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
Sage tea" made by our grand1nothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of tbs
scalp. Wyoth's Sage and SULPHUR Hal,
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff gerrs

Confederate lines.
A Runaway Balloon.
Federal onlOokers were both alarmed
and amused. The Confederates rejoic-
ed heartily and planned to capture the
runaway. Suddenly an eastward cur
rent of air was reached, and the bal
loon turned homeward. BY pulling the
valve cord Porter descended safely
near McClellan's headquarters. He
had seen more than he had expected.
IL was rumored in camp that some of
the soldiers who held the rope had pur-
pOsely set the balloon free, but this
General Porter refused to believe. Gen
eral Mcclellan declared that he would
not permit other generals to make as
tensions in future, but they continued
to go up to the end Of the siege.
The day after General Porter's ad-
venture in the runaway the Confeder-
ates sent up balloon piloted by John
Randolf Bryan of General Magru-

loon was brought into regular use.
The balloon corps organized by Pro-
fessor 7. S. c. Lowe had now become
an adjunct Of the Army of the Poto-

A balloon which Professor Lowe
had with great difficulty brought up
the peninsula from Fortress Monroe
by wagon was taken to the front
with the advance troops. Lowe as
cended at 3 a. m. on the 9Th and re-
manned up until after daylight, observ-
ing the campfires and movements of
the Confederates. On descending he
was ordered by General Fitz-John Por-

Lowe related what he had already
seen and asked the general to go up
with him. This Porter did and re-
manned up nearly two hours at the
height of 1000 feet, within one mile
of the Confederate works. Later some
craftsmen went up; also the Count
of Paris. who was serving on General
McClellan's staff. Ascensions were
made every day by generals, staff Off.
