To Vote By Mail.

y, Next November citizens of
Nebraska who are not at home
on election day are to be permit
ted to cast their ballots by mall.
1t will be an experiment, and
should it prove successful, the
new idea may extend to other
states. 1t is claimed that. we
have poor government because
the So called best citizens" will
not take the trouble to vote.
Many thousands cannot we'll neg
lect business to go to polls where
they are sometimes compelled to
submit to indignities. Perhaps
if voting by mail proves to be
a success in Nebraska every one,
whether at home or abroad, will
be allowed to cast his or her bal
lot by mail. This would require
an extension of the election per-
iod so that votes would have to
be sent in during a period of five
or ten days. all to be opened up
on a certain day. Of course, the
ballots would have to be attested
by notaries or some ether official
authorized to administer oaths.
This would give business men
no excuse to keep from voting
and would bring out the full vote.
If it would bring about better
conditions, by all means let the
country have it.

q permanent cure for constipation have
not been exaggerated.

Washington's Accuracy.

All schoolboys know something Of
Washington's adventures as surveyor
when he measured the great estates of
Lord Fairfax. but perhaps few are
aware of the painstaking accuracy
with which he did his work. Many
years afterward it was found that the
surveys made by Washington when 3
youth were the only land measure
ments of that part Of the country in
colonial days that could be depended
upon. Even after his death Washing
toms surveys passed unquestioned
among lawyers.

To have dozens of people come In

gobs of money. and then be compell-
Cd TO refuse to accept
That is the unpleasant experience
which County Treasurer Benton
Canon is undergoing just at present
The people of Mesa county. or at
least goodly portion have devel-
oped a perfect mania for paying
their 1914 taxes, and although the
county needs the money just terribly
bad. the county treasurer can't ac-
cept, all because the supreme court
hasn't passed on the Pitcher tax case,
and consequently the tax commission
doesn't know whether its valuations
will stand or not. and therefore the
assessor in Mesa county hasn't
spread the levy on the books, and
the county treasurer doesn't know
what the taxes, due this year, will
be.
But all of this needn't be an ex-
cuse for the rest of the people in
Mesa county rushing into the treas
urer's office and insisting that they
be allowed to pay their taxes, for
the treasurer and his deputies have
about all they can do ut present as
it Is, refusing to take the money of
taxpayers who really have it to pay.
Since the first OF the year some
CT the people of Mesa rpunty have
been almost frantic in their desire
to pay their taxes. The women par
ticularly, cannot understand why
they shouldn't be allowed to settle
minds, and Treasurer Canon has all
he can do to refuse their money in
spite of the desperate efforts to turn
it over to the county
Rendered frantic by the continued
call for the amount of taxes due,
Treasurer Canon yesterday began
sending out the following self-eX-
plantory notice:
There is pending at this time
suit in the Supreme Court of Colo
RADIO which affects the valuation of
taxable property for the year 1913,
in Mesa county, and for this reason
the general tax rolls cannot be le-
gally made up by the County Asses

I'VE think we will be able to send
you our usual tax notice for general
taxes some time during the month of
February. The above notice refers
to general taxes only. The books

CARSON SAYS
$4,000 NEEDED
New Sewer Outlet TO River Need
ed to Relieve Congestion
in Sewer System.

Twenty-Five hundred dollars is
needed this year to provide a new
outlet from the sewer on First street
and Commissioner Carson doesn't
know where he is going to get 1t. 1t
isn't in his appropriation for the year
and he is clear as to how he can
raise the money for bond issue,
provided that it is approved by the
citizens.
While an increase in the size OF
the sewer along First street to Is
inches would temporarily relieve the
situation. Mr.. Carson feels that 1t
would not be permanent. He sug-
gests that new outlet line be run
from some point in the neighborhood
of Chipeta and First to the river.
City Attorney Tupper has not de-
termined on which the burden of the
expense should fall 1t is an addi-
tion to sewer district No. l, but is
occasioned by the fact that other
districts have been connected with
the first district outlet until the line
has become congested.

companied by an officer, patrolled
the alleys until II o'clock and found
several closets running. He prompt
ly stopped them, and almost had tc
