SURE, the state tax for Rock county

SURE, the state tax for Rock county
will be higher this year simply because
the tax commission in their wisdom
raised the valuation of the county II
million dollars more than the assessors
who were on the ground found the
property to be worth. The levy for
state purposes is made by mill tax
under the statute a fixed charge, for
the benefit of the university, normal
and public school funds and cannot be
changed unless by act Of the leglsla-
ture The matter of valuation for
state tax is wholly within the province
of the commission. Whenever the uni
versity or normal schools need more
money the tax commission knows how
to get it by boosting valuations. To
change the rate the legislature must
change the present mill tax law. Then
the question arises whether the pres
ent levy for the cause of education
should be curtailed.

THE United States has the best home
market in all the world, and it will con-
tinue to be such q market if it is prop
erly protected: Cheap foreign goods
dumped upon our shores indiscrimin-
ately will put our splendid home mar
ket on a parity with the other markets
of the world, and the Free-Trade Under
wood law is standing invitation for
foreign-cheap- labor countries to pour
their goods in upon US. When our
home market is put on parity
with the worlds other markets. our
wages paid for labor must be on par
ity with wages paid in cheap-labor
countries. This spells our doom, and
nothing short of it, as our people, with
their high standard of living, cannot
live on the same wages that are paid
the laborers of cheap-labor countries.

THE management of the Interna-

ing an idea that is slowly gaining
ground. Education is a proverbially
Slow process and progress is attained
only by persistent endeavor. To in
sure maximum profits at minimum cost
in the sphere of meat production is the
mission of the international Live Stock
Exposition. That mission is primarily
designed to benefit the producer, incl
dentally it will work to the advantage
of the carrier, the manufacturer and
the consumer, consequently its success
is desirable from many angles. From
a utilitarian standpoint the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition, which
will this year be held from December 2
to 9, stands in the front rank of the
worlds educational institutions and no
farmer or stockman can afford to stay
away.

AT THE time of going to press the
presidential election is still in doubt.
The early returns were quite favorable
to the election of Hughes who carried
the east strongly but several of the
western states have gone for Wilson.
The vote is so close in Minnesota, North
Dakota and California that the official
count may be necessary and the result
not known for several days yet. The
fine endorsement of Gov Philip by
the people of this state in spite of the
bitter campaign waged against him is
the most deserving result of the cleo
ton. A legislature in sympathy with
his program of economies in state af-
fairs has been elected which will assist
in his taxation reforms. The results
show Wisconsin is safely republican
again.

They Recommend the "Outside" Appli- cation of Vap-O-Rub Instead of
 Harmful Internal Dosing.

Intelligent mothers everywhere real ize that little children should be dosed sparingly, and yet some treatment for cold troubles is necessary. Joplin. Mo, mothers have solved this problem by the use of Vap-O-Rub. This is the external Southern treatment intro duced here last winter. Applied at night over the throat and chest, the heat of the body releases the ingredi- ents in the form of vapors. and thus the medication is inhaled with each breath through the air passages to the lungs. Vap-O-Rub gives quicker relief than internal medicines, and can be used freely with perfect safety on the smallest child.
