SPAIN TO CELEBRATE 4OOTH ANNIVERSARY OF
 BALBOA'S DISCOVERY

Madrid, May 17.-The fourth cen- tenary of the discovery of the Pacific Ocean by Vasco NlInez de Balboa Is to be celebrated here this year, and the President of Panama, Belisario Por- ras, has sent a letter to King Alfon- so, assuring his Majesty of Panarna's friendship for Spain. Balboa, the Spanish soldier and adventurer, first saw the Pacific Ocean from the 18th mus of Panama.
 President Porras sets forth that the bonds of kinship between Spain and the Hispano-American nations are ev- CT growing closer, and announces that the Panama National Assem- bly, has decided to commemorate this centen- ary by a. competition of lyric poetry; by an exposition in which Spain is specially asked to participate and by the erection at the entrance of the Panama Canal on the Atlantic Ocean of a colossal statue of Balboa, the cost to be defrayed by public sub scription. He asks the king to place his name first on the list.
 The Spanish Government has de- cided to celebrate the centenary by organizing at Seville a congress of Hispano-Americah history and geog- raphy and an exposition of the pre- cious documents from the archives of the Indies and the CoIombine library relative to the conquest and expIora- tion of the New World by the Span iards. The congress and exposition, which will serve as a fitting prelude to the great Hispano-American Fix position being organized for 1919 at Seville, will open on September 2o of the Pacific by Balboa in 1513.

WASTE
Of Money in a Wanton Way
to Tear Down Present
Court House.
NEW COURT HOUSE
Would Bring on a Period of
Burdensome Taxation and
Great Hardship.
lBy -oitlzen."l


Allow me space in your newspaper
to say word of protest against the
proposition of building a new court
house, which seems to be entirely I'M
necessary and needless waste of the
peoples money.
The exercise "a the authority to
tax, which should at all times be safe
guarded by the strictest rules of econ
omy and rigid honesty, strikes at the
very foundation of human liberty,
and the struggles of the people
against the abuse of that authority is
as old as the human race.
We read in ancient history of the
tyrants of old levying tribute from the
people, and OF the Granny and OPP
preston of the despicable tax-gath-
erers.
And coming down to a later period,
there was once memorable tea party
in Boston harbor growing out OF the
abuse of the taxing power by a ty-
rannical, unclean king The echo of
the resunding waters, as the chests
were thrown into the sea, was heard
throughout all christendom, and dis
mantled empires and dethroned kings.
Let this be note of warning to the
piritical plunderblnds with which we
are at present infested, whose base Of
operations seems to be the county
seat, and who are unusually resource
full lately in devising schemes and
ways and means by which to tax the
people in order to crafty their de.
sire for graft and anxiety for display.
The idea of building a new court
house had its origin more out of a
desire to erect structure to COM
pare with the new Goff building on
one side and the Union National Bank
building on the other, than the actual
necessity of a new building.
The present court house, built at a
cost of $4,000, would cost today I'M
der the increased cost of material
and labor, sl5O,OOO, is a solid, sub
stantial structure and is as near fire
proof as any of the modern so called
fire proof buildings.
The basement, which was built or
iginally for the use OF the county, is
occupied by outsiders who could and
should be excluded and the. rooms oc-
cupied by the county, and If the pres
ent incumbents, who have expanded
so much since their election, could
not then find room for transacting
their official business. all they need
to do is to let the fact be known and
there is an abundance of aspiring
patriots who viii gladly take their
places, even if the quarters are
slightly congested.
They will doubtless be relieved
anyhow, the first opportunity, if they
are too persistent in demanding ex-
travagant Injuries.
The opponents OF all these wild
schemes to piunder the people are
contemptuously derided as stumbling
blocks to progress and lacking in
public spirit when the truth is, If
there ever was a time in the history
of our county, 1t is right now, that we
fCnnfinned on nare anrar, ! -
