Here's my grarantee-Go to any drug

sons Liver Tone. Take spoonful to-
night and if it doesn't straighten you
right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous by morning | want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Dodson's Liver Tone is destroying the
sale of calomel because it is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it
can not salivate or make you sick.

sons Liver Tone will put your sluggish
liver to work and clean your bowels of
that sour bile and constipated waste
which is clogging your system and max
ing you feel miserable. l guarantee that

keep your entire family feeling fine for
months. Give it to your children. 1t is

surrendered to a policy of public
extravaganza? Is it not more
reasonable to believe that each Of
them tried honestly to keep the
state within it's income, and faileC
because the task was an impossi.
BILE onei
! People who hold the Guardian
Journals views argue from the
standpoint that all public expend-
iture of whatsoever nature is a
burden and tax and an evil to
be minimized as far as possible.
This is a wrong standpoint. The
biggest item in Louisiana s bud
get is for public education, and
we do not spend a dollar of it
unnecessarily. There is not a
dollar of our school charges that
does not represent an economy
the performance of service at
public expense that would cost
each individual family five times
or ten times as much if under
taken individually. What fam
lily could care for an insanee men,
Der as helpfully, as mercifully or
as economically as the state cares
for him? What individual plant
er could beear the expense of pro-
tecting himself against the Miss
issippi overflow. What farmer
could afford to build his own
roads7
Bv cutting off all the varied
forms of public service that mod
ern government is expected to
render, Louisiana could attain
very low tax rate. but the policy
would ruin the state. Intending
settlers are not kept out of a
state by high tax rate nearly
so quickly or effectually as by
lack OF progressiveness. Louisi-
ana has not an excessive tax rate. !!
It does not need a higher tax
rate. What it does need is re-
adJustmen of the burden. not so
hat any Of us shall pay less than
We do now, for nobody is paying
90 much taxes, but in order that
hose who are specially favored
shall pay in like proportion with
he majority of taxpayers. This
will give us the money the state
leeds to carry on it's business
properly. An enterprise that is

improve its condition bv going

WHERE DOES THE MONEY
COME FROM,

One of the mysteries of tn,
world is where money comes from
in emergencies like that createe
by the European war. Jacob II
Schiff, one Of the greatest author
tiles ON finance, announced in an
interview last August that theSe
would be no war because there
was not enough money in the
world to fight it on the scale con-
templated. His theory was that
France and Germany, or any 9th
er two nations might fight, and
the resources would prove ade-
quate, but that a world war, such
as was then threatened, could
not be financed and so would not
come to pass.
From that day to this, shrewd
and discriminating observers in
the long line have arrived from
observation points Of special
vanta"e. to tell us that the war
would be over by New Years. or
by the first of March, or by the
first Of May, or some such time,
because of the necessary limita-
ton OF the world s financial re-
sources. And still it goes on.
Our own fiscal year closed with
balance Of trade of $1,O0O,OOO,-
oOO-this is the amount which Eu-
rope owes us for materials in eX-
cess of what we have bought from
her. Every few days. seemingly. |
the newspapers report one gov
eminent or another as authoriz-
ing a huge ware loan.
When Canadian Pacific says
little it may be indicative that it's
British holders, from reasons of
patriotism or otherwise, are ex-
changing it for government secur- !
tiles. But such transfers would
seem to be only a drop in the
bucket. Where does the money
come from for so colossal an ex-
penditure? What was it doing
with itself before the war begang
Are the other activities of the
world which regularly absorb
capital, as a sponge takes up
water, less imperious in their de-
mands than usual? Obviously ,
Yes. Dull times here release a
great deal of money for new in 5
The engrossing of the,
European nations in war Doubt
less releases a great many mil,
lions there which would other. ,
wise be employed in ordinary 7
commercial enterprise and in le- j
ultimate business expansion. But Y
even with such allowances, this F
continual supply Of capital with F
which to fight this war is one of F
Inc economic wonders of the age. T
And to the extent that it is be- F
ing fought with funds ordinarily T
needed in peaceful commerce, the
real pinch will come when the
war ends, and that business finds

LAST DITCH OF DEMAGOG-
UERY.

! Discussing the constitutlcLa
convention and the revenue prob
lem with which it must deal, the
Homer Guardian Journal bring:
forward the old, reliable standard
remedy for the ills of govern
ment which ranks with bleeding
and honest tea in medical prac.
tice. 1t says:
every succeeding administra-
ton goes into Office on a platform
promising retrenchment and re-
form.
blanchard succeeded Heard,
and promised an economical ad-
ministration together with many
reforms, but his appropriations
were far in excess of the Heard
expenses. So. too did Sanders
claim that he could run the gov
eminent on economical lines. He
said he knew where the leaks in
the treasury were and if intrust-
ed with authority, would stop
them, yet he created new Offices.
and yielded to extravagant ap-
preparations and left with a de-
pleted exchequer.
Governor Hall went in on
tidal wave Of reform. and already
there has been held five sessions
OF the general assembly and the
bill just agreed on
runs a half million dollars over
the valuable revenues and the ex-
penses, so they say, are more than
were the expenses Of the San
ders administration"
From this promise, the Guard
ian journal proceeds to argue
hat the state should lop off Gun
necessary expense" reduce the ap-
preparations for the various state
Institutions, reduce salaries and
bring the expenditures within
he income" With no intention
II being harsh, it may be said
hat to advocate such a policy as
his without pointing out con-
retely where the ak should fall
n what expenditures should be
discontinued is pure demagog-
Iery, and the favorite rallying
ry of the politician who seeks
o get into office first and to
make good on his promise after
7ard. 4
OF course, Gov. Blanchard, f.,
Tow. Sanders and Gov. Hall
romised to run the state admin
'tratlon on economical lines. and ,
here is not the slightest evidence
lat each Of them did not make
n effort to keep the states ex. r
enses within it's income. But ,
either of them promised to save :
he taxpayers money by opening d
le prison doors, turning the un- r
,rtunate insane back upon their a
