BERLIN FILM TAX EXCESSIVE.

\ lively dispute is proceeding between the Der lin film manufacturers rather the local branches of the German and foreign manufacturing firms and the Berlin police authorities. In addition to stamp duty on every reproduction sold, the manu lecturers are now be required to pay for the cen sorshp of their films d graduated scale which begins at five shillings hundred meters (32S feet, inch).
 They say that the levy is equivalent to charge of at least Der of the cost price, and that the Berlin police censorship which uses three machines and can deal with about one thousand meters of films an hour, will earn at least sZoo day The manufacturers declare that they will cease to submit any more films the censor and will leave the heaters which purchase the films to set tie matters with the police.
 The censorship authorities, on the other hanu' say that the outcry is exaggerated that, owing to the enormous production, the cost of the work or censorship has become excessive and that. on the basis of last years figures the new impost would produce only about S15,000 year-London Times

What the "Short Ballot" Is

The number of short ballot advocates sud- denly turning up in Arizona is astonishing. And 1t is the more astonishing when we observe that the present crop of short ballot advocates is com posed, almost without exception, of newspapers and men who have been opposed to ballot reform have been equally opposed to popular legislation for these two movements generally travel hand in hand
 Since there has been such general hammering of the ballot which will be placed in the hands of the voters of Arizona November and whose length has been variously estimated at from two to six feet. The Republican is constrained to say something in its defense.
 By the short ballotr when it is rightly un- derstood reference is made to it's longitudinal dimension. but to the simple character of it. short ballot advocates while they are not quite agreed to the offices which should be elective agree that the fewest number possible should be elective; that the interest of the may be focused upon them, and that he may be able to acquaint himself with the merits of the candidates for the more re- sponsibe offices, whose the ballot should contain.
 Those who working for the short ballot suggest limitation of the number of legislative propositions which may be placed before voters The merits of the propositions are more easily un- derstood than the merits of the candidates for office. As rule real and advocates of the short ballot" advocates of popular legislation the initiative and referendum.
 It is inevitable, under system of popular leg slaton that foolish and vicious propositions should be sandwiched in among wise and benefcent ones and it is possible that foolish and vicious propo- sitions may, and then, be adopted, but on that account the people should not be deprived of the privilege of legislation Such argument would have been argument against the convening of every state legislature that

SEVERE WIND STORM
TORE THINGS SUNDAY
SiIO on Harvey Abrams Place
Was Blown Down.
Many Trees Uprooted or Broken Off
and Other Damage Done by
Wind, Rain and Hail.

Wind and rain storms, part of them
accompanied by hail, have been rather
frequent this spring, in this vicinity,
and one of them got in its work last
Sunday afternoon, seeming to sweep
over the city in path about quarter
of a mile wide. Minor damages were
done, in the way of breaking or
demolishing shade trees, doing slight
injuries to buildings, etc. On the
northern limits of the city a large
silo belonging to Harvey Abrams
was blown down and some of the
Outbuildings roughly used. On the
street near the cemetery the side
walk on the south side of the street
was overturned and piled against the
fence at the Zenz place.
Southwest of Hurricane, near Elm
dale, it is reported that there was a
hard hail storm, which caused much
injury to growing crops.
Many Of the roads were also badly
washed by the rain, which for a short
time came down in torrents.

LIVINGSTON SWEPT
BY DAMAGING FIRE
Was Probably Caused by Gas
oIine Explosion.
Five Buildings Destroyed, Causing a
Loss of About $4,000 Partial
Iy Covered by insurance.

The village of Livingston had a
very destructive fire last Friday morn
ing, starting about two hours after
midnight, which swept away an i'm
portant part of the business section
of the place.
The cause Of the fire, which ORR
ginated in the restaurant of Marshall
& Keis, is not known, but it is
known that a gasoline stove exploded
in this building about the time the
fire started, and this made the flames
harder to control. People living in
the vicinity of the burning buildings
lost no time, after they were aroused,
in moving their furniture and other
valuables to places of safety.
The fire spread from one store to
another and i've business buildings
were burned to the ground. They
were occupied as follows:
Marshall & Keis, restaurant.
Henry Schmitt, drug store, and office
of DR.. Treglown.
DR.. r. M. Carter, dental office.
F. o. Gundlach, hardware.
M. E. Brodt, jeweler.
j. w. Nicholas & Co. store and post
office.
The loss is estimated at from $50. :
900 to $35, 900, with $4,000 in
surance. Livingston has no fire pro-
lection and had to depend mainly
upon the help of its on citizens. as
bucket brigade" to keep the
flames confined as we'll as they did.
Aid was asked for from Platteville
and the chemical engines were gotten
out but as it was impossible to trans
port them that distance they were not
taken over.
Much of the contents of the stores
were saved. 1t expected that little
time will be lost in replacing the
burned buildings with better and more
substantial ones.

THE CANVASSERS WILL
SOON BE COMING
Usual Grist of House to House Soil
citors, with Usual Story,
on the Way.

This is the season when great num-
bers of students from college, both
young men and young women, are
preparing to gallivant around the
country with serious faces and hard
luck stories and something to sell.
The serious face and the hard luck
story are to do the selling. Neither
are natural both are cultivated; both
have been taught to these young
people by experts in the canvassing
business. These experts frame up
the story Of how the young person is
working his way through college,
and how he or she is trying to make
enough money in the summer vaca-
ton to carry we'll into next year.
It's sad story just little short
of tragedy. And it may get you,
this warning Notwithstanding.
A few years ago these college
students were selling books now they
handle almost every kind of mer-
chandise, usually specialties that are
covered by patents. The prices you
will pay if you fall for the story are
generally much higher than you would
have to pay for articles just as good,
purchased from a store at home !;
sometimes twice as much.
If the local merchants have not the
exact articles these young persons
offer you they will get them readily
enough and will be glad of the
chance. And they will save you
money, too. 1t is all right to help
young men and women through col
lege, but we have it on authority
that more than half of these young
people who go through the country
with merchandise to sell and a hard
luck story to assist in selling it, are
simply out for their summer frolic--
they do not need to sell you lot of
aluminium ware or something else at
two or three prices in order to go
back to school in the fall.
Stick around the home merchant.
It's safe and patriotic place to
stick

Upon the platform were about forty
veterans of the Civil war, whose
deeds, like those of their comrades
gone before, we delight to honor.
Their ranks are thinning rapidly year
by year and we can scarcely realize
that fifty four years have elapsed since
the ending of that mighty struggle
which nearly rent our beloved coun-
try in twain.
The address of Kenneth F. Burgess,
a rising young attorney of this city,
was most excellent one-so good
that we are printing it in full in The
Herald today, in order that all may
have opportunity of reading it.
Each recurring Memorial Day adds
to love for and devotion to country

Plain American, faced his trials with
confidence and overcame what seemed
for the moment to be insurmountable
obstacles. He obtained his freedom.
When France seized his merchantmen,
he became naval power. The
Barbary states demanded blackmail
and in the person of Decatur he went
to the Mediterranean, and piracy
vanished in the smoke of his guns.
England sought to impress his sea-
men and he seized from England the
freedom of the seas. Mexico sought
to subject Texas, and she lost Cali
fornia. A state made independent
from England inspite of it's own vote,
fired upon the emblem of the Union
at Sumter, and from the ashes of the
old federation of South Carolina and
her sister states, there rose up at
Appomattox united nation.
Today we the sons of John Smith,
Plain American, pay tribute at his
tomb, but as we decorate his grave
with flowers let US not forget that
we too face our problems which we
must meet with the same spirit and
with the same ruling idea that gave
him power.
Let US not prove faithless to our
sacred trust. But you say these tales
of heroes can have no meaning to us,
here in a country city, here where
quiet rules, and peace and content
ment and happiness? You know that
you and each of you is just as i'm
portant to this nations life as any
other, and that should we in our own
lite work prove faithless to his
sacred ideal, that then this land
founded upon his heroic efforts cannot
long endure.
What are our problems. do you
ask? AS nation we have not solved
the conflict between labor and capital,
for even today there are newly made
graves in the coal-felds of Colorado
that bear grim, silent testimony of
our failure. Nor have we solved the
problem of the criminal, the gunman
as product of the city sIums, for
