special attention by members of the

Capital Punishment

The execution of New York's four gunner
has re-opened the old debate on capital punish
ment. Never before has it apparently occupied
so many minds now. Penologists, editors,
preachers teachers, reformers, sociologists, all
manner of lists and ologists, have joined in to
hold up end or the other of the argument
That the argument has two ends is one that
we ourselves concede though we have our own
opinion about it. Perhaps the strongest utter

pen of no less person that John Collier. We

Voters Daze

The citizens of Marion County are doomed
for an attack of that disastrous malady, "Vot-
ers' Daze," at next Tuesdays primaries On
that day, they will be compelled to select their
nominees for county and township offices from
almost four hundred names.
This means that very small minority OF
voters will know anything at all about the can
didates for whom they vote. 1t means that
many unworthy candidates have secured place
on the ballots. 1t means that political machine
has had to draw up these Overwhelmingly compli-
Gated tickets. Above all, it means that a great
many of these nominees have been virtually ap-
pointed by the political bosses. 1t needs not be
said that all this cannot except by miracle, result
in an efficient county administration.
The best remedy for "Voters' Daze' is the
short ballot Why should citizens be burdened
with the selection of long list of relatively un-
important officials? AS it is, the political boss
does the appointing. Why not have that appoint
ing done by a few responsible authorities
If the people have only few officials to elect,
they will be far more able to elect the right kind
of men.
Self-government is not a failure, but our old
fashioned machinery has broken down. We need
a simplification of political methods. We need
to put all eggs into basket and then
WATCH that basket.

That Library Tax

In response to a general demand; a commit
tee was appointed by the Commercial Club to
make Investigations to show why the library
is not more popular. That committee found
that many of the methods used everywhere
in wide-awake libraries to increase the pub
hes use and appreciation of that institution
were not employed at the Morrisson-Reeves IL
brary, and that principally because of lack of
revenue. 1t, therefore, recommended that the
income be increased to such a proportion as
would be adequate for Richmond's library needs.
After careful analysis of the committees
report and after investigating the situation with
care, those charged with responsibility in it's ad-
ministration seemed to have agreed that five
cent levy is necessary Hitherto the mainte-
nance tax has aternated between three and four
cents This coming year chances to be four
cent year. Therefore five cent levy would be
an increase of only one cent.
The Morrisson-Reeves library operates under
q special law which permits it to levy tax of
only six cents. That this limit is very low is
proved by the fact that the general law, under
which almost all public libraries are operated,
fixes the limit at ten cents. Many cities with a
higher tax rate than ours are levying that full
amount.
A five cent levy is only one-half what the
states library authorities feel to be required for
financing successful library. They have sen-
der ground beneath them, therefore, who charac-
terize this as high and exorbitant" It is not
high It is shamefuly low.
And the surprising thing is that the library
administration has been able to hold the insti-
tuition to it's present grade of efficiency on Sc
meager an income. To ask for five cent levy
tit would cost the average taxpayer only about
seven cents) is just what the board should do.
The library has reached such stage of de.
velopment that the only possible way to econo
mize is to spend little more money on it. 1t is a
case where we can no longer stand still, but must
either go forward or backward.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
FIGHT HEssIAN FLY.

State and federal agricultural au-
thorities are urging activity upon the
part of farmers in fighting the Hessian
fly which promises to play havoc with
wheat If it gets a good start. The U.
S. department of agriculture issues the
following bulletin;
sion fly begins to make its appearance
known in the fields of young wheat.
The eggs are always laid on the sur
face of the leaves, and the maggots,
as soon is they hatch, make their way
down the leaf to point just above the
roots of the young plant. There the
young maggots become embedded In
the tissue and begin to feed upon the
juices of the plant Very few farmers
are able to detect the presence of the
fly in their fields until much later in
the season. after the plants have be-
come brown and dead. In the mean
time they are likely either to mistake
the pest for other insects that may be
present in abundance. or to overlook
its presence entirely.
The occurrence of the pest may be
very easily detected by any farmer
provided he understands and observes
lne difference between infested and
uninfested plant. The leaves of an in
tested wheat plant are always broader
and have the appearance of being
shorter than those of an uninfested
plant, while the infested leaves are Of
a much deeper green color, resembling
in this respect the leaves of volunteer
oats. The rolled central leaf, which
indicates the presence of the stem, Is
always absent, and infested plants
stand much more erect in the drill row
and do not spread out and cover the
ground. 1t is by this erect habit,
broader leaves and deeper color that
either an infested entire plant or
tiller of the same may be easily de-
tected.
In an uninfested plant the leaves
are more slender, of lighter green
and do not stand as erect, but as the
tillers are thrown up they spread out
and cover the ground Although they
have every appearance of being less
vio'rcus than the infested plant, as
matter of fact they are much more
US while the central unfolding
leaf is always present. No farmer
need be in the least misled by the ap-
pearance of his fields in the fall;
neither need he mistake any OF the
numerous insects that may be found
in the fall wheat for the much more
destructive pest, the Hessian fly
Where the darker green wheat
plants are excessively abundant or
predominant, if the soil is fertile it is
