or the heirs reside at a distance.
The commission cites one case in
particular. A man died leaving
$1,000 in cash and no debts but
funeral expenses. The undertaken
was appointed administrator. After
the expenses of administration and
funeral expenses had been met, just
SAC remained to be distributed to
the heirs in the east. This case is
typical of many. Nearly every one
at all familiar with probate proceed
ings can recall many instances where
nearly all of small estate has been
eaten up in attorneys fees and costs.
The heirs of dead man, particular
~ OF poor man, should be protected
by the state. A method should be
provided by which such estates can
be closed and the funds distributed
among those entitled promptly and
at a minimum cost.
The plan favored by the tax com
mission is to authorize the superior
court of each county to appoint the
administrator, the appointee to be
resident attorney, who would re.
ceive a commission to be fixed by
law for administering the estate. The
public administrator would take
charge of all estates where no heirs
resided within the state and would
administer other estates when heirs
residing within the state made such
request to the court. The fixing of
statutory commission would do
away with the double fees now neces-
sary in probate cases. Some voters
would probably prefer to have the
administrator elected by the people,
but this is a matter of minor i'm
portance. The main thing is to de-
wise and provide a method to con-
serve estates and prevent their dis
sipation in eXorbitant costs and at
torney's fees. The proposed bill
NJ one similar to it should be enact
ed into law.

A NEEDED LAW

1t is reported that the state tax
commission will ask the next legis-
lature to enact a law providing for
the appointment of public admins
traitor in each county. This is a re-
form the need of which has long
been recognized by many people. The
p1 resent method of administering es-
tates is altogether too costly, especi-
ally in cases where the estate is small

Dit OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS

The advocates of prohibition con-
end that the liquor dealers, as a
hle, have little respect for law and
Ire allied with the worst elements of
ocety. The opponents of prohibit
ion, unwittingly admit the truth Of
his charge when they argue that
tate-wide prohibition will not stop
he sale of liquor, but will simply
|timulate the operation of blind pigs.
lis one champion of the liquor traf-
he puts it: IA small majority may
lavor prohibiting the saloons in the
Itate of Washington, but before you
have such law in existence thirty
days you will have more law-break-
Rrs than you ever imagined could
Pxist in a community"
This is an admission that the
liquor dealers would not obey the
Jaw, and convicts them of the charge
brought by their opponents that, as
4 rule, they are not law abiding Cit
zens. Any man or class of men who
Fry to defeat a proposed law By
threatening to disobey it, if it is
Enacted, are entitled to but little con-
liberation and brand themselves as
enemies to society What if the
temperance people should adopt the
same attitude and threaten that if
, majority Of the voters of the state
decide to license saloons, they viii
lot allow them to be operated? They
would be denounced as law-breaking
fanatics, fit subjects for confinement
IN lails and insane asylums.
This threat of the liquor dealers

NIT to sell it lawfully, is one of the

Inc average saloon keeper has lit
tie respect for law. He is in the
BUSINESS to make as much money in

Planning Farm Buildings.

Every home owner who expects
to make improvements and get the
benefit Of economy and attractive
ness in the arrangement Of farm
buildings should have definite
plan. This is especially desirable
when a new place is being improv-
ed and the farmstead is yet to be
laid out. So much depends upon
the arrangement of the varios build
ings, the layout of the various
fields, situation of the Highway to
market, etc., that this is often the
difference between success on the
one hand and failure on the other.
When one has an old farm
where the farmstead has been in
conveniently and unsightly arrang-
ed it may be difficult problem to
change the arrangement in accord
ance with economy and attractive.
ness. But in man. instances it will
be possible, perhaps economical, to
move minor buildings, change roads
or drives, remove objects that mar
the landscape and remodel the gen.
eral scheme of the farm. Conve-
nience means much where there are
livestock to care for implements to
shelter and crops to store. In these
days when labor is expensive and
machines and implements must be
sheltered it pays to economic with
both man and machine labor.
Making money, as important as
il is, is not all of farm life. We
need comfort and convenience and
a farmstead that represents skill and
artistic planning where we may enjoy
the open country and have favorable
environment for rearing the family
and contributing the best possible
service to society.-Farm and Fac
tory.
