The Spy System.

In a recent address before the
Traffic club in Chicago, Col. James
Ham Lewis, who last week was
elected to United States senate from
Illinois, said;
This nation has plunge into re-
gulating the citizen in the conduct
of his personal affairs until it has
regulated business to the verge of
conhscation and relegated the citi-
zen to the plane of a dependent on
governmental favor or victim of
its spies and persecution. No man
engaged in any large undertaking
but is presumed by the government
to be dishonest and his business a
fraud. No small business man can
aspire to equality of decomposition ex-
cept as the government shall per-
NIT him. Big business stands in
fear and little business in despair"
Probably there are but a few in
this country, comparatively speak
ing, aware of the fact that the
spy system which obtains in
this country costs the tax pay
ers So,ooo,o 900 annually. 1t has
been carried to such an extent, that
there is no longer any business pri
vacy, and sleuths in government
employ are travelling to and fro
through the country to make trou-
BILE for private individuals who may
find it impossible to comply with
the many laws enacted that simply
hamper and irritate honest men
who have neither the desire nor
disposition to be dishonest.
In many respects the United
States has ceased to be a republic
except in name and the conditions
are fast becoming as unbearable as
in Russia and it is hoped that san
er counsels will obtain, that the
government may soon get back to
a democratic form of government,
the enormous and outrageous ex.
Iense reduced and army of unnce-
essary hirelings discharged.

duce the personal property tax in
the villages and cities and to great
extent throw the burden on the
farms. If we must have an income
tax, it should be graduated with a
fiat rate for both individuals and
corporations so that the last named
will not pay more In proportion
than the first named, and then the
members of corporation may
have a personal income tax and
thus be doubly taxed which is un-
Just, unfair and unconstitutional.
But or progressive friends do not
care for the constitution, if it
stands in their way, and are already
moving to have it revised to suit
their notions.
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1913-04-04

We believe it is not right nor
fair to say" Mr.. Barrett declared i,
that a low wage is the real rea-
son for vice. There are more soci-
ETY. girls, girls from good homes,
with fathers and mothers able to
provide for them amply, who have
fallen into vice and come to be in
mates of the Florence Crittenden
homes, than wage earning girls.
Very few who come to our homes
blame low wages for their down
fall.
Cut out the dance halls, show
houses and stall saloons in our
cities and there will be reduction
in the number of our hayward
girls. Those influences contribute
to the downfall of girls rar more
than the low scale of wages. Pa
rents are primarily responsible
for the waywardness of their young
daughters and should keep. low
ing and watchful care over them
until they are strong enough resist
temptation.

The administrations statement
sent to our beligerent Southern

that a carbon copy will be forward

Robert Burnett speaking for his
mother, Kate Walter Burnett, head
of the Florence Crittenden homes
for girls throughout the country,
appeared before the Illinois Vice
Commission in Washington last
week and gave some very suggest
i've testimony. He stated that the
Florence ~Crittenden homes had
cared for more than 900 way
ward girls and information from
these girls showed that low wages
was the least of the causes of inn
morality.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Advices from Madison are to the
effect, that the Bull Moosers in this
state will form a coalition with the
brewers, those opposed to univer-
sal suffrage, and while claiming to
be progressive, will progress like
the crab, backward. 1t is said that
Gov. McGovern who is anxious to
go to the United States senate is at
the head Of the scheme which will
fail, for it will divide the republic
an party and turn the state over to
the democrats and thus clean out a
lot of political barnacles whose only
interest In the party or people has
been to serve themselves.

The effort being made to put a
large area of the state into a For
est Reserve to furnish employment
for an army of men, provide a
game preserve for the wealthy and
augment the taxes in other parts
OF the state, to say nothing of the
immense sum which must be raised
by taxation to purchase the land !,
should be defeated. 1t is the
scheme of a dreamer, who has no
idea of the value of money and the
tremendous cost that it will entail
upon those who will never have
any interest in the Reserve. The
lands would be exempt from taxes
making it extremely burdensome
upon the school districts, towns
and counties within the area pro-
posed.
