PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

The requirements Of a Prosecuting
Attorney are more than the require
ments of a good lawyer. As a SER
want of the people and an attorney for
the county, The Prosecuting Attorney,
to serve his clients well, must be
more than an ordinary attorney for
his field of work covers a broader
field of practice and the many matters
coming under his notice demand not
only good legal mind but mature
judgment.
AS the attorney for the county it
is necessary that the Prosecuting At
torncy be good lawyer, better than
the average, for the legal work of
the county is in his charge and he
must guard the county's interests
against the Entertainments of other
units of government and factions. It
is necessary then that he be an ex-
ceptional lawyer of large experience.
But the thing that affects the people
most vitality is the expense They
have to pay the Prosecuting Attorney
for his work and they have to pay
the expense he incurs. Again fine
judgment is needed by the attorney
for the people.
In criminal matters, the office has
two grave sides. The Prosecuting
Attorney must see that law violaters
are punished but it is as much as his

Alma high School Nearly Turned
Defeat Into Victory Saturday

Arthur Hill High school defeated
Alma last Saturday on Davis Field
in the first quarter of play. 20 points
was their total and after that Alma
came back with some real fighting
spirit, piled up 10 to their credit and
came within a shadow of turning de-
feat into victory.
Two touchdowns were scored by
the Saginaw boys in the first minutes
OF play and before the first half was
at an end they had scored another,
Alma appeared very weak at first but
gradually became stronger until the
end of the half they held their op-
ponents in fine style
The second half started with Nal
colin Smith playing quarter and this
seemed to be the very thing that the
locals needed. He instilled a lot of
spirit into them and by fine general
ship directed their attack around the
Saginaw ends and through their line
until Alma had scored two touch
downs and registered two drop kicks
Two features to kick goals from
touchdowns lost them the two points
necess ary to tie the score.
For lima, Berry, Mahr and Smith
were the stars. Blaisdell and Jessur
played fine games at end. Berry and
Mahr each scored touchdown. Bur
CESS made two pretty drop kicks.

About the Land Tax.

ADUul luC Ldlu dA.
At the general election to be held
next November the people of this
state will be called upon to vote
upon two proposed amendments to
the State Constitution which if
adopted will exempt all personal
property, including money, notes
and bonds, and all merchants and
manufactures from any taxes what
ever, state or local, and in lieu
thereof place the entire burden
upon land and franchise privileges
and inheritances. All the improve
ments whether in the city or coun-
try are to be exempt and the city
lots and farm lands only must pay
the whole cost of state, county,
road, school, city and all other
charges on our public funds, except
as before noted what may be raised
from franchise, privileges and in
heritances. Let us look into this
matter closely and see what it
means. From the last Report of
the State Auditor we learn that for
the year 1910 lands and town lots
paid for all purposes, state, county,
road and school, $20,016,666. For
the same year personal property in
Guiding bonds, notes, money, etc,
paid for all purpose, state, county,
road and school $6,164,314. The
sum the amendment proposes to
remit or release and put that much
more and what the land is already
paying, But that is not all The
merchants and manufacturers paid
during the year 1910. for all pur-
poses 1886, $3.50 and this also is to be
added to the land tax causing the
land owners to pay $2S,066, 566.
which is an added burden of ST.
049.90O. In the face of these fig
ures we want to arouse the farmers
to the importance or organizing to
defeat these tax amendments.
Who Demands This Change?
Would it not be reasonable to eX-
pect that when a system of taxa
ton that has been in operation for
nearly a century is to be changed,
that in order that the people them
selves might have something to say
about the new plan to be adopted,
public meetings should be held and
a free discussion had that the
measure might embody the ideas of
large number? 1t may be said
that the people will do this when
they vote on the measure in Novem-
Der, and while that is true we have
only the choice of adopting or re-
jecting this measure asa whole and
therefore if there is more that is
had than there is good in the meas
ure it is our duty to vote it down,
and that in our opinion will be done
by an overwhelming vote. But we
ask who is it fatherine this meas
ure? 1t is an organization known
as the Equitable Taxation League
with headquarters in the city of St
Louis. In looking over the list of
officers we find only one who can

mas Deen an ONCE seeker great
deal of his time. Most of them are
large merchants in the city, attor-
neys or eX-otficc holders.
1t is very clear why these men
whose wealth is invested in mer-
chandise, money, notes, bonds, etc,
would favor such a measure.
There is need of some change in
our taxing system but we think
this measure fails to offer an equit-
able system. Our great need is for
some law that will bring out the
hidden wealth. We ask the promo
tiers of this measure why should the
man who has $4,000 invested in
interest-bearing notes, bonds, or in
some business, be relieved entirely
Of his duty to society and exempt
from any support of public schools
streets and roads and other public
expenses of which he receives the
same benefit as the land owner
doeSY The men who favor this
amendment say we should not tax
merchants and manufactures in
this state and if we do not tax them
it will encourage others to come and
therefore make more business. We
believe in encouraging manufac-
lures to locate in our state but not
to the extent of releasing them of
any duty they owe to society. We
believe in patronizlng the home
merchant, but in all candor may we
ask do merchants create business
or do they come as the result of
business opportunity? Let the mer-
chants answer this question them
selves. Is it greater number of
merchants we need in our Missouri
towns or is it a greater number of
customers?
| Those who favor this measure say
we should tax land because no
matter how high the tax the land
must p ay, it can not be moved
away! Now is it not admitted that
the bulwark of our prosperity in
this country rests on the success of
our agricultural industry. The land
can not move away but if it ceases
to be profitable to till the land, GER
tainly farmers can move away and
then where would be the need for
more merchants, or for any one
else? Have those who favor this
land tax read the reports OF the last
| United States census? Is it not
fact that the very best agricultural
sections of the country particularly
in the northern Mississippi Valley
showed a decrease in rural popula.
ton during the last ten years? Does
any one believe for a moment that
taking the tax off the money lender
and placing it on the land will make
farming more profitable, and there
fore bring back the thousands of
farmers who have moved away in
search for cheaper land?
This Equitable Taxation League
argues that tax on personal prop
erty lis bad tax because it is I'M
equal in its burden and bears heav-
