ed little face is one OF mingled amaze
ment and hopeless desire rather than
Of pleasure. A frail body Quivers un-

had no control. She attracts little or
no attention. Perhaps one or two OF

STATE TAX DISPUTE.

And now comes Governor Deneen
and makes denial OF the allegations
turned in by Governor Dunno in rela-
ton TO the need OF a high state tax
rate at this time.

intimate that there was plenty money
in the institutional funds and in the
treasury 20 carry everything along In
ship shape TO the end OF the fiscal
wear. This is not stated directly and
In as many plain words. but there is
such intimatiOn-
Governor Dunno states that the last
two tax Ievies made in the Deneen ad-
ministration were not sufficient TO get
revenue 10 meet appropriations made
by the legislatures. IL seems there can
be no doubt that Governor Dunno Is
right in this. for he gives the figures OF
the ievies, the amount secured in reye-
nue.. and then the sums appropriated
These show that the levies lacked
nearly Eve and a half million dollars
OF getting the sums that had been ap-
propriated. II the governor isn't right
in this we shall have 10 proceed TO

10 had In figures.
One can easily imagine that when
two men approach a mass OF figures in

alleged results that bear little resem-
blance TO each other. In this instance

sit is more blessed 10 give than to
recetve"-Acts 20-35.
In this tabloid Sabbath talk We wish
but briefly to emphasize tie above
wondrous words and urge you to find
in them that inspiration TO Christmas
charity which warns the cold, thin
hand OF poverty, sheds the light OF
hope into the dark places OF despair,
lets the sunshine of Christianity into
the sorry abode of want, makes Santa
Claus a glad reality instead of a sell
fish myth OF the rich, and pulsates
the heart OF the giver with that
warmth and glow and gladness that
make Christmas good, glorious, real
and Christian.
ct Is more blessed to give than to
receive"
Those significant words constitute
q sure guide TO happiness. The State
Register calls attention to them again,
as we have often done in years gone
by. They are words that illuminate
the ages. To we mortals they are the
great white sign at the crossroads to
advise against paths which lead TO sell
fish misery and to point the way to
the paradise OF unselfishness.
Every one who reads these words to-
day and entertains these thoughts
must feel within his inner self a
knowledge of this truth.
You all know that you were happiest
when you were making some one else
happy. and happiest when the bene-
fciary OF your charity was in real
need.
