WHY THIS WAR TAX.

The general public has begdn
licking the mucilaged backs OF new
brand Of revenue stamps. One hun
dred million dollars must be raised,
we are told, and the man who uses
the telephone, the telegraph, ships
freight or express, sells his land, In
sures his house or his life, or en-
cages in a number of other business
transa ctions, must contribute.
The query may naturally arise In
the mind of the contributor to the
hundred million fund: Why this de-
ficiency tax? Why lack OF money
in the treasury? In this connection
1t will be instructive to glance over
some of the history of the last ses-
sion of congress.
The last session Of congress spent
more money than any other In the
history of the United States. Its i'm
mediate predecessor spent $1,O57,-
6O5,694, but the session that ended
but a few weeks ago called on the
treasury for $1.115,5O7,777. The
call would have been even larger
than this had not Senator Burton
and other Republicans beaten down
the amount of the rivers and har-
bors appropriation by a prolonged
filibuster against the opposition OF
the Democratic majority In the
senate.
This enormous amount of money
was spent by a congress controlled
by a party elected on a platform
that says:
1--WE denounce the profligate waste
Of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the Law
ish appropriations Of recent Repub-
lican congresses, which have kept
taxes high and have reduced the
purchasing power of the people
toll. We demand a return to that
simplicity and economy which befits
Democratic government, and re-
duction in the number of useless
offices, the salaries of which drain
the substance of the people. Sen

Hubby Got His

You have read AMI heard Of the
poor frail woman who allows her
brutal husband to use her for a
punching bag. Had you been in JUS
tice court a day or two ago you
could have seen a case where the
poor, frail woman worked on" the
brutal husband with a poker, says
the Herington Times. AS sort Of
remembrance Of the incident, he car
ried purple spot on his lip where
the end of the poker came in con-
tact with his person. True the wo-
man wore a purple spot under the
eye, a gift from her husband, but
she seemed satisfied; she got her
moneys worth. On condition that
they both leave town, they were re-
leased-an arrangement which will
probably be satisfactory to everyone.

MAKE SCHOOL BOARDS PAY
Howe Introduces Bin to Settle CUES
ton OF School Election Expense

When Abilene held special
school bond election last spring, TO
vote bonds for the southside grade
school building, it was discovered
that there is no state law which
says whether the city or the board
of education shall pay the expense
of such an election.
Senator ]. w. Howe and Senator
Paul Klein Of lola yesterday intro
duced a bill requiring the boards of
education to stand the expense OF
such special school elections. The
school board here paid the expense
of the bond election, but so far has
no statute to make their act legal.
