Have You Paid Your Taxes?

If so, do you approve of the
methods forced upon us by the
state tax commission? The
spoils system is responsible for
our excessive taxes. Needless
offices, appropriations and laws
have increased our taxes greatly.
If you want an efficient and eco
nomical state government, it is
necessary to first free the gov
ernorship from the spoils system
by voting for r. o. Richards, the
independent candidate for gov
ernor so that he may go into the
governors chair free from the
influence of the party politicians
and spoilsmen. The governor
can only in this way become the
servant of the people instead of
the servant of the party poll
ticians.

new GERMAN MOVE
AIMED AT VERDUN

Paris, Oct. 22.-Despite the severe
fighting In progress in the north
there is a growing feeling here that
the real German objective is not the
line from Dunkirk east.
1t is considered certain that the at
tempt to take Dunkirk will be pushed
and it Is admitted at military head
quarters that German reinforcements
are coming up, but it Is also insisted
that the German general staff must
realize by now that Won Kluck and
Won Boehn cannot break through the
strong allied line.
In consequence attention is being
paid to the operations of the Germans
on their left center against Verdun
and the country near st. Menehould.
Another offensive is developing there,
although the German claims that they
actually have reduced some of the
verdun forts are emphatically denied
by General Gallieni.
Ii Is believed that this movement is
a desperate attempt by the Germans
to divert the French from their AL
sace-Loraine operations. but If so it
can hardly succeed. as plans to meet
such a movement have been perfected

the larger part of the benefit. Fol-
its own sake society cannot afford to
be cruel and brutal to its meanest and

To say the least the outdoor treat

over the old time method by which
prisoners of all classes were treated
with practically the same degree oil

little doubt that Mr.. Cooley is right

Then there must be careful proof
reading of ballots. The candidate
whose name is misspelled, gives the
county auditor one good raking down
and then forever ignores him as they
meet in the streets. To err so griey-
ously as to leave off a candidates
name is punishable by death at sun
rise. Most candidates prefer to have
their names printed at the top of the
column where the voter will surely
see them before firing out along down
the column. If the law or custom is
such that all names cannot be print
ed in the most desirable place on the
ballot, here is a chance for resent
ment toward the official who ar
ranges tie ballot.

is going to give a poor exhibition of
voting them on Nov. 8.

THE CORRECTION FARM
Practical Results Secured by the Out
door Treatment for Crime.

Louisville Courier-Journal: A
number of years ago the city of
Cleveland began the experiment of
working city prisoners on a municipal
farm. In the outset it was very gen.
orally predicted that the result would
be a failure, but subsequent events
have demonstrated the entire feast
bility of the plan.
The Correction Farm, as described
i'm an address by Harris r. Cooley, di-
rector of charities at Cleveland, is a
part of a tract of 1000 acres. On
this tract is the city almshouse, the
tuberculosis colony and an extensive
municipal cemetery which is to be
graded and developed by prison la
Dor. Each of the four divisions is
distinct on its own estate of 500
acres.
In 1905. when TRUSTEES from the
workhouse first began to be taken to
the farm, they were lodged in old
scattered buildings. In 1906 two
frame buildings were erected with ac-
commodations for $50 men. In De-
tober, 1909, the prisoners were
moved into what is known as the
service quadrangle, g building $50
feet square with a large open court.
This is the first of the permanent
buildings which are to form the cor
~rection group.
Mr.. Cooley says the men work
much more heartily on the farm than
they ever did in the workhouse.
Some of them took great interest in
the pnfVaa1g onI thn nvnxfpn fr.ffC
vegetables and grains" They have
better air and better food. Their dis
positions are more agreeable and
their health is better. The trust and
confidence placed in them "call forth
the remnant of manliness." OF the
thousands of prisoners sen to the
farm many are Migrants, and in these
cases strict discipline is not enforced
IF the men run away and take care
of themselves the purpose of the Law
has been accomplished" These cases
make the reports of escapes seen
large, but at that the escape percent
age is only 10 per cent.
Mr.. Cooley admits that there are
limitations to the outdoor treatment
Not all the men committed can bt
trusted to work in the fields" There
| are three classes, the TRUSTEES, The
s~emitrusties and those who are lock
ed in. The TRUSTEES frequently worl
entirely alone. The semitrustie!
work In gangs of twenty or thirty
| with foremen always present. The
others work under guard. Fifty pei
cent of the men can be worked un
der the open sky. Mr.. Cooley's con
illusions are of special interest:
Our experiences at the Correction
Farm have demonstrated that thu
treatment is much better for the pris
oner. The outdoor life is just as ra
tional and effective in cases of vice
and crime as in cases of tuberculosi!
and insanity. These people have
lived in an abnormal environment
and have developed abnormal physi
cal, mental and moral conditions ant
desires. The reasonable and frs
thing to do is to place them in tht
normal environment of the country
life. 1t may not always cure, but il
is surely the first thing to do fol
them.
