PEOPLE ARE NOW PAYING THE PIPER

The Portland Oregonian says: Here now we are to
have a war tax, with no war. The emergency that con-
fronts the American people is due in no way to any act
by them; but not so much can be said for congress.
IF congress had observed the pledges of economy
and retrenchment upon which it was elected, the war tax
would not be necessary. But congress at this session has
made appropriations of all kinds appropriating $1,1OO,-
000,000-the largest in history-and the end is not yet.
The ordinary expenses of government for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1914, were 100000 greater than in any
previous year.
"The people are to be penalized for the extravaganza
of congress. The s%poilsmen must be fed. The spenders
are running the country. They have performed no single
important act that could by the most liberal construction,
be said to be designed to save money. 1t is a wasteful
congress.
when the people of the United States find them
selves pinched here and there, in their industrial activities
in their pastimes, and in their business by an exact
ing government, to pay taxes that by ordinary prudence
could well have been avoided, they will realize more keen
y than ever what democratic ineficiency is doing for
them"

WHERE TAXES Co

People sometimes wonder where tax money goes. This
is especially true about election and tax-paying times.
The county is simply a big business institution. 1t has
certain fixed expenses, such as salaries, clerk hire and
rent. 1t has certain other expenses that vary, but steady
consumers, such as light and heat, blank books, stationery
and printing, schools, and road building. 1t also has cleo
ton expenses, and it is to the latter item to which we wish
to direct attention.
We have just had a primary election and it is to be
hoped we are satisfied. If the benefits are commensurate
with the cost, the primary is a good thing. A close esti-
mate places the cost at $1.88 for every vote cast for Unit
ed States senator. If this is too cheap, take the vote on
governor. These cost the county $205 each. The OK
penses of the primary election amount to 80 per cent of
the total taxes levied last year for county purposes, which
includes all salaries, all supplies, all court expenses,
schools, roads, bridges and interest.
The levy for current expense last year was % cents
on each 500 of valuation. This fund takes care of every
thing except the state tax, schools, roads and bridges, and
interest. Out of this fund all election expenses are paid.
1t will surprise taxpayers to learn that the primary cleo
ton expenses consumed "a per cent of this fund. Estimat-
ing the expenses of the general election to be the same
as those of the primary the five elections held this year
will take 213 per cent of this fund, or more than a fifth.
still, some people are demanding more elections. Some of
them want the initiative, referendum and recall, and recall
of judicial decisions. The trouble is, we already have too
many frins. What we need is a little more simplicity. If
we are to have an election every few months people will
continue to wonder where their tax money goes.

A FALSE PUBLIC SENTIMENT

In some respects the public opinion of this country
needs educating. We are not sure that education is the
right word. Really a change of heart is needed. Ii two
bright young men go to work in any calling and prosper,
they are praised for their ability, energy, industry and
sagacity. If their calling requires the work of many
hands and they give those needing employment labor at
fair prices, they are praised for 1t.
But if, after a while, they combine their capital, en-
large their works and their sphere of influence, buy ma
chinery, double their working forces and by the help OF
the machinery increase their product four-fold, at once
they become objects of suspicion. They are becoming
monopoists. 1t does not require long until some splneless
blatherSkite is prepared to make a speech, the burden OF
which is to show that all those men have has been due to
labor; that now they are drawing princely incomes while
the wages of the men who made their wealth have not
increased.
Then a blatherskite press takes up the cry and they
are pointed out as public enemies.
And when enough of these blatherskites are sent to
Congress they at once introduce bills to restrain the cor
morants who by unlawful combinations of capital are
expressing the people. And some of these congressman
who have never done an honest useful days work IN their
lives, obtain great regulations as champions of the down
trodden workingmen." Next the legal department of the
government seizes upon the laws the blatherskite con-
gressmen have passed, and without the slightest know
ledge of the intricacies of a big business and the brains
and effort needed to conduct it, go out with their prose
cutions to cripple or stamp out "the sOulleSs mOnOpolies."
When they cripple any great industry they rejoice and
forget that while money can take care of itself, they by
their act have taken from 1000 or 10000 men the labor
through which those men fed their babies.
1t is this spirit that has kept our flag from the ocean
for forty years. They are not going to permit a few ship
owners who are already rich to become richer and cam
not comprehend that all the time they are making foreign
shipowners richer at a ~frightful cost to all the people of
the United States.
So whenrthe opportunity of a century comes, as sit now
has, when a continent, rich beyond compare in resources,
is stretching out it hands to us and praying for ships to
bring them our products and to carry away such products
as we need and which they have, our great statesmen are
helpless to set in motion the needed remedy.
After Mr.. Wilson was nominated for the presidency,
he declared that if the people would trust him and the

If the Democrats had not insisted
on curtailing our by the
radical reduction of the duties ON i'm
ports remarked Congressman Smith
OF Idaho, today. they would not now
be confronted by the embarrassing
conditions which appear to make the
Emergency Revenue Bill necessary,
as there would be an ample surplus
customs duties. In my opinion there
is no good reason for passing the
proposed Emergency Bill at this time.
1t could be very well deferred until
next session, by which time the Europ-
a situation may have cleared sufi-
ciently to permit of the resumption
OF our trade relations.
why could it not be mere advan-
tageous to the country to sell a hun
dred millions of the remaining $240,-
10000 Panama bonds to carry us
through our present embarrassing
situation, instead of levying additional
taxation upon the people?
Il am glad hat the suggestion of
Chairman Underwood that the pro-
posed Emergency Revenue Bill should
contain a provision that shippers shall
pay 3 per cent of the amount of their
freight bills, was rejected by the
Democratic caucus 1t would have
been the most unfair and most in
equitable tax that could be levied, es-
pecially as far as the western country
is concerned.
The producers in the west would
have had to take less for their pro-
ducts. to the extent of The tax proposed.
which are shipped east, and pay more
for what they buy from the east. 1t
would have been especially burden
some to the farmer. whose products
are shipped to the coast, for he would
have to accept enough less to pay 3
per cent freight bills covering these
shipments and pay enough additional
to pay the tax on shipment to him Of
farm machinery and other manufac-
tured articles from the east. The tax
would also be very burdensome and
annoying TO the small dealer, unless
he could saddle the tax on the con-
sumner. The merchant who is barely
making a living. would have had to
pay considerable each month on his
freight bills, and would have this ex-
use for raising the price OF com
modities to the consumer. The whole
saler would put up the price on what
he sells In order to meet the tax.
Shippers are now complaining because
of high freight rates, and it would have
been manifestly unfair to impose this
tax on them"

A GOOD TICKET

The Republicans have nominated a good ticket in
this county, and there is no reason why it can not be
loyalty supported. There is not a nominee who is not
qualified and worthy. Most of the nominees have proven
their fitness during the past two years and they are not
likely to be r%epudiated by the intelligent people of the
county. Propositions have come to some of them to trade
off other candidates on their ticket for votes for them
selves. Such proposals indicate weaknesS-weaknes on
the part of those who make this proposal and on
the part of anyone who would accept it. Trades are
never proposed nor accepted where prospects of election
are considered good. 1t is gratifying to know that all
advances made to candidates on the Republican ticket
have been turned down. The Republicans have no need
to trade. They are going to win.

Canine Newsdealers.

Two Chicago dogs-an Irish terrier
and a water spaniel-the property Of
a successful newsdealer of that city,
are proving themselves very useful to
their master. If the latter goes to
lunch. or has to leave his stand for a
time, the two watchful animals sell
newspapers for him. Rex" the Irish
terrier. perches himself on the stand
and grips between his teeth a big Gala
bash pipe and a copy of a newspaper,
while Brownie" his partner. takes up
his position on little soapbox beside
the stand and holds in his teeth a lit
tie plug" hat for the safekeeping OF
the pennies. When a passerby buys
paper Brownie" sits up to receive the
coin. Both of the dogs seem to have
a fierce as well as a sharp eye to bust
ness. and their master places great
faith in them-Wide World Magazine.

A farmer in the parish of Maitland,
Nova Scotia, recently came across a
skunks nest that had three tiny young

only a day or two old, and instead OF
ruthlessly destroying them, the farmer
picked them up and carried them
home.
The family cat had been raising lit
ter of four kittens. three of whom the
farmer had drowned, and after few
suspicious sniffs, she consented to
adopt the little skunks in place of the
lost kittens. The skunks did not suck

Roman emperors who feasted copi-
ously and sumptuously had no menu
card. so they often spoiled Their en-
joyment of a banquet by eating too
much OF one dish and passing over
something they specially liked. Ac-
cording to Montaigne. one OF the Ro-
man emperors. while ignorant OF
menu cards, devised an order for serv-
ing dishes which enabled him roughly
to foretell what was coming next:
''Geta the emperor would have all his
messes or dishes served in at his Ia

Rattlesnake's Ace.

The general belief that the number
of its rattles is true guide to the age
of rattlesnake has small foundation
in fact. According to Mr. Edwin r.
Sanborn of the New York Geological
park, a very large snake may have
few rattles, and a small snake twice
as many as the big one. A rattle
snake frequently loses ratties through
violent contact with rocks or bushes
a loss that nature replaces at the rate
of about three segments a year. The
baby rattlesnake has a tiny button
where his rattles will ultimately be.
Thus, according % the usual theory,
at the end of the first year he will ap-
pear to be three years old, or perhaps
three years and half, if the button
is considered as the beginning of a
new rattle. Probably the number of
the rattles increases for a certain
number of years, remains stationary
for another period and then decreases
as the snake grows old. That is the
course of growth and decay in the
horns and ant'ers of hoofed animals
