BONUS FOR WIDE TIRES.
Farmers Entitled to Rebate Of One
Fourth on Road Taxes.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 31.-Inquiry was
made at the attorney generals office
this morning as to whether or not a
farmer was entitled to a rebate in his
highway taxes if he used wide tired
wagons in hauling heavy loads. The
state legal department replied that
such was the law. 1t is believed, how
ever, that altho this has been on the
statute books for some time, it has been
quite generally overlooked both by the
farmers and themselves and the Off
Gals in charge of tax collection.
The law provides that all persons
who use wagons on the public high
ways with tires over three inches wide
in hauling heavy loads of more than
500 pounds are entitled to a rebate of
one fourth of their highway tax. In
order to take advantage of this law an
affidavit must be made by the person
entitled to the rebate to the effect that
he has met the requirements of the
law in this respect. He is then en-
titled to his rebate.

His body broken on the wheel of years,
Consumed and warped by sin:
Red eyes abrim with unrepentant tears
And beggar's gin;
With cackling laugh, the dodering old
krave
Greets those who seek
His wretched, all unwilling soul TO
save,
And thus he'll speak:
Il set my face against your dull sue
cess;
Freely my life l spent
Pursuing my ideal of happiness.
Now, old and bent,
Unto your pauper's home and potter's
field
To come I'm truly glad;
With no regrets what's left to you
yield
The Joy I've had."

MEXICAN POLICY ONE OF

IT has been frequently charged that the Ro-
man Catholics of this country have more reason
to be dissatisfied with the Presidents Mexican
policy than any others. The claim mas peeh
made that Roman Catholics in Mexico were
faring worse than any other people ana 1hae
for the reason that they were Roman Cathohcs'
And assuming that this was the truth tnere
have been those who sought to foment dlssaus-
faction among the Roman Cathohcs o. 'he
United States and TO prejudice them against
the administration One Of the arguments Ior
intervention has been the treatment of the
Catholic priests in Mexico.
In view of these facts, what Cardinal Glib
bons thinks with reference to the administra-
ton and it's attitude towards Mexico and the
Mexican problem is exceedingly pertinent. The
Cardinal two weeks ago made a special trip to
New Orleans to confer with other churchmen,
as to conditions in Mexico. He came back TO
mis- home in Baltimore and gave out an inter-
view in which he strongly supported the Presi-
dent and spoke with emphasis against inter-
vention. This interview will be found in full
on another page. armed intervention in Mex
ico," he said with wisdom should never take
place. We who have the interest of the coun-
try at heart approve of the course OF the
administration in withholding troops from
Mexico"
The country is fortunate that Woodrow Will
son has been in the Presidential chair during
the trying times that have come to the pa
tience Of the people Of this country as q result
of the disordered conditions in Mexico. A less
even-ternpered man, one with 8 narrower vision
and with g less abiding sense Of responsibility
might have, and very probably would have. in
volved this country in a war that would have
led to horrors in America measlrably approach
ing those in Europe.
It is q good thing for the American people,
Catholic and Protestant, that they have as their
chief executive a man who knows his own mind,
who thinks deeply and never acts hastily.

JUSTICE TOO COSTLY,

The great need in North Carolina. sna

laws as the strict and impartial enforeen,ar.
those that we already have. 1t is an unnlaom
fact, but a fact nevertheless, that MANI =
are only indifferently enforced. Espeofsrn.
this true if the offenders are powerful ana =

For instance, there is a matter to which .t.

Such a thing, if it has occurred, while rar
violation Of the letter Of the law, is sureI-
violation Of it's spirit, and if that is not true tha
law has been one carrying IN it a great measure
of injustice.
The Journal adds:
1.-THE whole fee business as regards solicita-
is wrong, in fact. 1t ought to be the business
Of a State officer to try to see that justice is
done. But under the fee system he can't DO
this, for he must convict, justice or no Justice
or get no fee. The fact Of the business is lies,
tice is getting too high in North Carolina for
poor men,"
Has not the Journal sized up the matter lust
about as it is? Isn't the accused, particularly
if he is a person of no means as he often is, at
a tremendous disadvantage under such . syee
tenn?
To our mind the problem OF giving justice II
the courts and justice on the tax books is 3
problem to the solution OF which the best
