LONDON, Aug. l0.-(Special Cablegram
to New York World and Omaha Bee.)-
II. w. NevisOn, special correspondent of
the London Daily News, has Just returned
from Berlin He says the conditions thera
are very bad.
I'VE ordinary people suffer here in
London. but in Berlin It is infinitely
worse. When the full levy OF all men
between twenty and fifty years is COM
plete, it is estimated that 100000 will be
absent from their usual vocatons. Prices
are rushing upward at an astonishing
rate. The government has tried to fix the
price of rye wheat flour and maize, but
in spite Of this food prices have doubled.
Light Pensions Provided.
The government is arranging a slight
pension for families OF soldiers at the
front. but t is so slight that it will be
OF little good to them. The farmers who
are required to house soldiers in the field
viii be granted small sums Tor their
board and lodging, but again the figures
are so riCiculously small that they will
not cover half what the men eat.
THE harvest conditions are the worst

leave grain standing in the shock i'm the

Baggage Mountain High.
"All railway stations are overflowing
with lost baggage. When the mobilization
orders came nearly all the Well-to-do
people of the empire were away on
vacations and began at once the work
Of returning home. Baggage was checked
and that was the last Of It. At every
station portmanteaus and trunks arc

BILLETIN.

BRUSSELS, (Via London, $40 p.
m.), Aug. 10.-The commander OF
the forts at Liege, according to an
official announcement, reports that
all the forts are intact. The soldiers
manning them are in fine health and
spirits and are amply supplied with
provisions and munitions. There
is no cause for alarm.
The population of Liege main
tains its calm and the official view
is that the situation is quite salts
factory.
All the approaches to Brussels
are well guarded to prevent any
thing in the nature of surprise
from reconnoitering parties of Ger
man cavalry. Small bodies of Uh-
lans have been signaled in all dl-
rections. Generally they have lost
their bearings and surrendered inn
mediately on being challenged.

BULLETIN.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Pierre
Mali, Belgian consul at New York,
today said that according to his ad-
vices from Belgium only two of the
forts at Liege remained standing to-
day against the German invasion.
These two, he said, would be aban-
doned and the Belgian soldiers
would retreat in good order. They
would proceed to Namur and join
100000 French troops. Namur is
strongly fortified, and the consul
predicted a great battle there.

LONDON, Aug. 10 Il p. m. Lege.
Messages received here today in
official quarters from the Belgian
general staff assert that the occupa-
tion of the town of Lfege by the Ger
man troops has not had the slightest
influence on the strategic situation.
II is declared that SO long as the ring
of forts around Llege remains intact,
as still II is, the guns command the
principal roads by which the GerI
mans can advance. This, it is pointed
iDut, makes it impossible for the Ger
: mans under present circumstances to
receive supplies or ammunition.
Every line of railroad between
Liege and the German frontier is al
legged to have been destroyed and the
Belgian troops are said to have
blown up every bridge, culvert and
tunnel. The Belgian general staff
declares that 1t has received reports
that the Germans, expecting to take
Liege in few hours, brought with
them only sufficient food for a fe%
days and little ammunition, their
plan being to rush Liege and make it
their base of operations.

McGOvern Can't See Why.

Gov. McGovern says that much of
the opposition to our high taxes is Gin
sincere and dishonest" If the gov
ernor will change places for few days
with some of our farmers who have
seen their years profits go for taxes,
or some farm renter who finds his rent
raised because of the graft, extrava-
gance and eXtOrtiOn at Madison, he
may change his mind. The fact that
he is a consumer, not producer; that
he and others squander what the people
pay; that he ''sits at the receipt of
custom" instead of digging up the
dough to pay these levies, may account
for his peculiar views and inability to
understand the ''barbaric yawp" that
is sweeping over the state. The situa-
ton reminds us of the story told of a
Yankee who was compelled to spend a
few days at a crOss-road hotel in Missis-
sippi where the service was poor and the
meals worse. The landlord rang the
bell for dinner. and in answer to the
clang an old hound lying in the shade
on the opposite side of the street arose
and began to howl. The Yankee, tax
ing in the full significance of the situa-
ton, remarked to a fellow boarder:
What in hi is that dog bowling for?
He don't board at this hotel" Neither
does McGovern pay the taxes.

Too Much Government.

They tell US we are getting more
government for all these big taxes we
are paying, and so we are. More gov
eminent than we need, more than we
can use; almost enough for the entire
world. We are not complaining about
the quantum of government, as all ad-
init its Superabundance. What bothers
us is how to get rid of it, for much
government means many public Off
Gals, and a multitude of officials means
trouble for industry, trouble for tax
payers, trouble for every man who
wants to earn an honest living and
make the most of his time and talents.
This Omnipresence Of government, this
deluge OF fixed rules, may be admira-
bly, adapted to race of people just
emerging from peOnage, but when ap-
piled to the liberty-loving American,
they won't work. The plain, simple
truth is that we don't want so much
government. This extension of gov
~ernmental functions has brought with
it a concomitant chain of evils among
which may be mentioned state bureaus
and commissions. The members of
these commissions are clothed with
autocratic powers, such as few mon
archs ever enjoyed. Take for illustra-
ton the tax commission. 1t orders
your property valued, selects its ap-
praisers and its reviewers of the APP
praisement, leaving you defenseless
and helpless. 1t fixes the pay of those
who impose the burdens on you, and
makes you foot the bill. The univers-
ity needs more money. 1t terrorizes
assessors into increasing valuations
which form the base for percentage
computations with the result that a
school, which cost five hundred thou
sand for maintenance twenty years
ago, costs almost four millions now;
and the school in turn supplies an army
of expert arithmeticians to aid the
commission in putting more yeast into
the tax loaf so as to raise it higher.
These are the sources of our increase
in government. One crowd figures sc
as to create an opportunity for another
to get its nose into the public treasury.
For the past ten years every govern
mental move that has been made has
resulted in looping off some natural
right, the creation of new offices, the
extension of governmental functions
and the abnormal increase in taxes.
This is why the voters are mad. :

IF THE cities of Waupun and Ches-
ter and the intervening towns on the
road connecting the two places cooper
ate, the first state highway to be con-
structed by the use of prison labor will
be built there. This was decided at a
meeting of the state board of control.
The last legislature appropriated $25,-
900 to make experiments with convict
labor in road building. 1t is probable
that prison labor will be used to build
the roads to the tuberculosis camp near
Tomahawk and also some roads within
the forestry reserve.

WATCH the big Dane county meeting
of protesting taxpayers to be held in
Madison next Saturday. The call will
be signed by large number of men
prominent in all the walks of life, and
it is expected that the gathering will
be one of the most significant, politi-
cally, held in Wisconsin in recent years.
Like those held at Darlington and
GAINESVILLE, it will be non-partisan and
non-factional. The purpose of the
meeting will be for the discussion of
the question of taxation, subject in
which great interest is being manifest
ed in Wisconsin at the present time.
Able speakers will be present. Those
tax eaters over in the state house ought
to be present for they will hear some
thing of vital interest to them.

1T IS an old saying that figures wont
lie. but Tax Commissioner Adams has
been compelled to revise some of those
he has been giving the public on the
cost of the state commissions He says
his attention has been called to errors
in computation which adds 80 cents
more to "a cents, the proportion of each
500 state tax going towards the cost
of the state commissions. An error of
more than 100 per cent is astonishing
coming from high salaried expert. 1t
will not be surprising if he finds more
e1 ,ors of figuring before he explains
the taxation problem.
