NEBRASKANs ARE CHIDED.
Garrison Tells Governor National
Guard Should Be Given Money.

Secretary Garrison has sent a letter
to the Governor Of Nebraska In which
he criticises the recent action of the
state legislature in reducing the al1ot-
ment of state funds for the support Of
the organized militia of the state.
Press information" the Secretary
says to the governor. Indicates that
the legislature is endangering the ef-
ficiency Of your National Guard by
greatly cutting the usual appropria-
tions for its support. The fact that it
is as much the duty OF state to main
tain militia force Of proper strength
and efficiency as II is to send it's rep
resentatives to Congress, seems to
have been overlooked by the legisla-
tors Of a number Of states.
II hope that what the President said
in his recent message to Congress re-
garding the importance of the militia
will result in an awakening of the
public In the matter, with a general
appreciation Of the necessity and value
Of it's maintenance as force that
would be Immediately available in time
Of emergency, and of it's rights to the
fullest moral and financial support Of
the several states. 1t is the desire
of the administration that the efficiency
Of the Nebraska National Guard be
maintained. and II is hoped that the
legislature will appreciate the situa-
tion and give the guard the necessary
support"

as general-in-c chief Of the military
operations Of the convention govern
ment's military forces, which he has
held since the founding of the conven-
tion government. according to the plan
as reported here from Chihuahua City.
In Charge Of Clerks.
The fact that the departments in the
Cara cabinet have been in charge of
subsecretaries and chief clerks only,
and that none Of the members of the
cabinet had received their full appoint
ments, would make it possible for the
combining Of the northern and south
ern government representatives in the
cabinet. AS nearly all Of the portfolios
Of the Cara cabinet were held by Ia
pata adherents. the new arrangements
would place Villa representatives in
the cabinet in the majority.
Gen. Palafox, who has been acting as
minister OF foreign relations in the
south. would be subsecretary of the
foreign relations department under
Miguel Diaz Lombardo.
For the present the Villa cabinet
members would retain their of1ces in
Chihuahua, md 1t is being urged on

LETTERS TO EDITOR


HUMANITY DAY.-You bet your
life, Mr.. S. F. Cleveland, there are
those who dare and those who care.
l care and dare, and have always

no courage equal to moral courage,
but all my life, since 1 started in at

Now there are over 100000 union

ON TAXING.-In a recent issue Of
your paper Frank Smith says: mo
matter how high the rich man is tax.
ed. or for what he is taxed, or in what
manner he is taxed, the worker is
bound to foot the bill"
This is saying that all taxes are
shifted to the consumer. He is in
error, as a tax on land according to
it's value, cannot be shifted, as Friend
Smith VIII readily perceive if he'wiH
consider what effects would follow a
high tax on the 100000 vacant lots
right here in Chicago.
One reason why a tax on vacant
lots cannot be shifted is because there
is no one to shift it to, and another
reason is the high tax viii make it I'M
profitable to hold the lots idle and the
owners viii be compelled to do one Of
two things. They must either use
the land by putting idle men to work
on it or they must sell it, as great
numbers of the idle lots would be
thrown on the market and the price.
would fall, and land would become
cheap! " 4
So it can be easily seen that a tax
on land values cannot be shifted, and
results in a lower price for land.
Taxes on anything else, food, cloth
ing. houses, anything and everything
in the whole wide world can be and
are shifted, and raises prices. - F.
