local, which existed before its creation
and which mostly are in existence to-
day. 1t has been asked by member
of this commission where can the state
start to economic?
Right here with the elimination of
this very commission.
The commission is utterly needless
and it's whole conduct, even If it were
a useful body, has been source OF
profound and constant irritation to the
people of the commonwealth. 1t has
been arbitrary, dictatorial. 1t has
aroused almost universal storm.
There is nothing more fit TO do now
than TO annul it entirely,--to get rid
of it. 1t is a thorn in their side. 1t
has arrogated to itself stupendous pow
ers. 1t has pressed its own views upon
the legislatures and it has grown to
overpowering and tyrannic proper
tions. 1t is creature whose abate-
ment is demanded by every considera-
ton of sound government. No possible
injury to any legitimate interest," no
infraction or invasion Of justice, OF
equity, no harm near or remote but
only benefit, can come from its abate-
ment; and It's disappearance at once
will be in the direction of decentrali-
cation of state government which also
is a policy imperatively demanded.
We of course shall hear something OF
hue and cry at this proposal but the
party which puts into its platform the
strongest plank in regard to this mat
ter is the one which will win the
warmest appreciation Of our people.
The tax commission must go.
That is a beginning.
Other specifications with reference
to improvement and simpljfcation in
state government may be suggested
from time to time, but the point where
the assault must be made for the res
toration of home government to our
people and for reduction in taxes is
that occupied by the state tax commits

Quite A Chance.

Wausau Record Herald. More than
a hundred years ago this country flung
open its gates to the world. 1t said to
the poor people Of Europe, "Here is a
land where taxes are low, where oppor-
tunity is equal, where life is free,
GOMEZ"
And the people Of Europe, looking
around them, saw that the tendency"
was toward higher taxes; the civil
officers were multiplying, and the
government interfered with every
thing they did, that personal freedom
nowhere existed. They came to this
country and helped to make it what it
is.
Now, however, in this state especial
ly, and To degree in all parts OF
America, we are pointing to the Euro
pean nations as models for our people
TO follow. Their tendency, says our
governor, is toward increasing taxes;
therefore we should increase our taxes.
Their tendency Is toward the official
regulation of business; therefore, we
should burden our people with boards
and commissions. They have repud-
ated, or rather have never tried rep
resenIative democracy; therefore, we
should make our government hybrid
with oligarchlc and socialistlc parent
age.
In short, we should rush into the
very things which the American set
tiers came here to escape.
And this proce SIS of adopting the
petty, inquistorial tyranny of Europe,
from which our forefathers fled, we
should call "progresslyeness."
No wonder the world is becoming a
stencil in the nostrls of large pro
portion Of our population.

A Missouri Circuit Judge, in ruling
upon an application for a change OF
venue not long ago, laid down the prop
osition that "the time has come when
if a man doesn't read the newspapers
his qualification to sit as juror in any
kind OF case is to be seriously ques-
toned
This statement from the court was
in response TO the claim set up by at
torneys in a murder case that their
client could not get fair trial in the
county because the people had been
prejudced 10y reading newspaper ar
ticles. In declining to grant the change
OF venue the court said
"rhe newspaper articles offered in
evidence are absolutely free from UNI
fair, inilammatory or preJudlced state
ments, nor did any Of the newspapers
indulge in any editorial comment. The
newspapers did nothing more than to
print from time TO time somewhat de-
tailed and circumStantial but fair and
impartial account of the various oc-
currances. Every newspaper worthy
of the name is expected TO do this, and
it is expected further that these papers
will be read by citizens generally, in
GLIDING possible jurors"
No intelligent juror is likdly to be
prejudiced against defendant simply
from reading an impartial account Of
his offense. The verdicts Of juries are
made up from the evidence that is pre-
sented, and no man should be disqualiii-
ed because he happens to have read
something about the case. While he
may have expressed an opinion based
on newspaper accounts OF the occuren-
ces involved, he is none the less capa-
BILE Of giving the defendant fair trial
II he be fairminded man. No one,
Of course, should 90 into jury box
with the preconceived idea Of voting 10
convict or acquit. Cases are tried by
the law and the evidence, and unless
an opinion is so fixed and so predjudi-
ced that it cannot be affected by the
law or the evidence, the holder of such
opinion ought to be eligible TO jury
service.
Other things being equal, the intelli-
gentcitizen would prefer being tried by
an intelligent jury: by a jury which
reads newspapers rather than by jury
which reads not at all. The Missouri
Judge took the right view. A mans
qualification as a juror ought to be
newspaper.

1t is hard to imagine a young couple
who begin life with out acquaintances
but the fact exists. A young man
marries young girl, and they go
away, leave their young friends and
associates whom they have known
from childhood, to try their fortune in
a strange land. How should they be-
gin? Begin what? The new life upon
which they have just entered. They
are to help one another. Very much
of the happiness and success of the
home, and the business of the young
husband depends upon the young wife,
We would say to her: Learn to
keep house that you may keep home"
Here is womans sphere. But alas,
How few realize the position they oc-
cupy, the example they set; the taking
of glass of wine or the refusal Of it
may mark the destiny of fellow crea-
ture. We would say to the young
wife: first, make home attractive.
How? See that the house is in perfect
order and everything in its place.
The table, however plain, should be
extremely neat, and above all We should
charge her to keep within her hus-
band 5 means. DO not be extravagant.
There is nothing that drives man to
destruction sooner than an eXtrava-
giant wife and bills that he is not able
to pay. All this tends to make home
happy and attractive. When towards
the setting sun, his working day done,
he turns his feet omeward, see to it
that there is no spot on earth dearer to
him than home. 1t is in our lower to
keep him there or drive him away.
Palace walls are not as precious
AS the home the heart has made,
And the lowly roof may shelter
Souls whose greatness ne'er shall
fade.
