How catarrah Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes SO
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children CON
tract. The Inflammation Of the
mucous memberane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrah, a dis
ease that is seldom cured and
that may prove a life's burden.
Many persons who have this
loathsome disease will remember
having had frequent colds at the
time it was contracted. A little
forethought, a bottle of Cham
verlain's Cough Remedy judic-
used, and all this trouble
have been avoided. OBJ

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION
AND THE SINGLE TAX

put a BIGGER TAX ON THE
FARM.
The cities and towns are now,
for the most part, TAXED TO
THE CONSTITUTIONAL LIN
1T. Any increase in taxes must
COME FROM THE FARM
PROPERTY for the very good
reason that 1T CAN'T COME
FROM ANYWHERE ELSE.
Do you DOUBT it? Does Any
DOLBY doubt it? Where else could
Barry county go for that $751;
337.52 which it is annually re-
ceiving from the state? Where
could Barton County get the
$23, O92.29 it is now receiving
from the state, if not from the
farm? Where on earth could
Dallas County go to get the year
ly income of $50, 358.11 it now
draws from the state treasury,
if not to the farm? How could
Dade County ever raise the $685.
1896 per year it now gets from
the state, without vastly in
creasing the taxes on Dade
County farms? And so on down
the line. The same is true of
Dent County which now puts
$5,797.68 into the state treasury
and gets back $18,338.35; of
Douglas County, which pays
$6,844.O7 and gets back $24,-
623.48; of Dunklin County,
which pays SIC, 0O9.98 in state
taxes, while taking out of the
state treasury the sum of $29,-
802.79 of Henry County, which.
puts in $2l,3 1867. 81 and takes out
$39,477.48 of Hickory County,
which gives SIS, 716.19 and gets.
back $40, $1,000 from the state;
of Howell, which pays a state
tax of $9,625.23 and receives out
of the state treasury in return
the sum of $27, 996.O5 Of Nc
Donald County, which pays
I$7,O42.45 and gets back 3d.
1921; of Miller, which pays
$7,838.41 and gets back $780,
O92.86; of Texas County, which
pays $8,52S.75 and gets back
$36, 617. 99-and so of all the
rest.
These ninety-six counties are
nearly all agricultural counties
AND THE FARMER WILL.
HAVE TO PAY. He will have
to do it if anybody does. In
many Of the counties the burden
of taxation is already very great
and in these counties the farm
er will have to choose between
closing the district school and
increasing the tax on the farm
and he may have to do BOTH.
If this conclusion is not true,
DISPROVE it if you can. FIG
URE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF,
Mr.. Taxpayer, for YOU will have
to PAY. Under statewide pro-
hibitiOn the burden is certain to
be shifted back upon the ninety
six counties which now pay
nothing to the state, and in a
majority of these counties it
means a shifting of the burden
to the farm. Could SINGLE
TAX be any worse? In its Ill
innate effect upon Missouri
farmers is there any DIFFER.

hibition and the single tax
Again me say, FIGURE IT OUT

While Missouri counties have
been gradually going dry the
state of Missouri has been just
as gradually increasing the fl
nancial aid it offers the country
roads and schools until today
the public school apportionment,
amounting to substantially two
million dollars for 1916, is the
largest in the history of the
state.
This money is all going out Of
the state treasury into the var
ious counties.
Where does the state GET all
this money? And where would
the N get it if the
state didn't furnish it? Ever
think of that? It's worth think
ing about.
Ninety-six of the one hundred
and fourteen counties of this
state DO NOT CONTRIBUTE
ONE CENT toward the support
of the state government. All
that they pay into the state
treasury in taxes is paid back to
them by the state for their
county government, mostly for
roads and schools, AND E A
LY A MILLION DOLLARS A.
YEAR BESIDES.
That is a rather remarkable
fact, but it is RUE 1t is a
matter of PUBLIC RECORD.
Now let us tell you another
fact, not so remarkable, but
none the less a FACT. 1t is sim
ply this: Nearly all of the nine
ty-six counties above mentioned
are DRY counties.
1t is very right and proper
that these counties should re-
ceive this state aid for their
roads and schools, because roads
and schools are matters of state
wide corncern. But if the state of
Missouri loses any great part of
it's present income IT WILL
HAVE TO WITHDRAW ITS
AID.

from the big cities) was paid by

You will admit this stand to be
absolutely an unselfish one. and.
furthermore, that such policy as this,
adhered to by every man in Colorado

ENTHUSIAM INCREASING.

The interest and Enthusiasm is in
creasing at the Dan Shannon Meetings
being held in Chappell as was mani
tested by the large number of men in
attendance at the Mems meeting held
last Sunday afternoon. At this meet
ing Mr.. Shannon gave one of the most
powerful addresses we have ever
heard him give. He held his audience
spell bound for nearly two hours,
swaying them from laughter to tears
and at the close some IS or 20 men
decided for better life.
On next Sunday afternoon Mr. Shan
non will deliver his address:
THE HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID
FOR A HAIRCUT
This is one of the strongest eddress-
as we have ever heard Rev. Shannon
deliver and in our opinion every man
that possibly can should hear it. 1t
is a sermon which if delivered from /,

mand $lOO and wether one believes
as Rev. Shannon does or not it is an
address that is well worth ones time
hearing.

THE SCHOOL BONDS.

Since publishing in last weeks paper

the subject a mass meeting was callel

Of the very windy afternoon some 25
men and women were in attendance
at the meeting MIR. Z. c. Harris

to what the Board purposed to do.
The plans as contemplated is to double
the size OF the present building, build

full basement would be put under
the addition. the first floor would be
finished into two schol rooms and the
second floor would be left for an
assembly room but could be finished
into school rooms whenever the con-
dition warranted it. About $1,000
would be spent in moderizing the old
building, and the heating plant would
be put on the outside Of the building.
Two architects have estimated on the
probable cost One estimation $l2,2G0
the other $4,000. The board are ask
ing for the right to issue bonds up to
$4,000 not that they expect it will
take that amount but so that they
would have ample funds to meet the
necessities.

taken and it was unamiousI in favor of
better facilities. Then the question
was discussed as to whether it

CARLSON EXPRESSES IDEAS on
LAW AND ORDER IN COLORADO.

Special to The Chieftain.
Denver. Colo, Feb. 27.-In his trip
with the Administration Special, Gov
ernor Carlson delivered an address on
law and order and law enforcement at
almost every town, which seemed to
please more and make more friends
than any other part of his address.
The following is an excerpt from that
address:
After a law has been passed, the
issue of its enforcement is between the
taxpayer and the lawbreaker. The
taxpayer may laugh when a constable,
policeman or sheriff fails in an effort
to catch or punish an offender, but
when he is laughing the heartiest he
should remember that his money is
providing for the whole performance.
Every time an officer makes an arrest
each mile prisoner is transported,
every order OF court, every panel of
jurors, each meal provided in Jail or
penltentiary, cost money. No benevol-
ent magic put that money in the city,
county or state treasury, but it has

brawny hands of toll. or has been COL

CAPITOL CORRESPONDENCE.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 2S 1916.
The Republican State Officials, who
made the trip last week to the western
slope, are enthusiastic in their praise
Of the reception accorded them They
declare that the interest shown by the
people in the different state jroblems,
and their appreciation of the efforts
made to maintain the honor and credit
of the state, was most gratifying ana
encouraging. The knocker and chro-
mic fault finder and pessimist was NJ
where in evidence.
On the Otner hand. in every town
visited, without single exception,
there was manifest desire to holl
up the hands of the executive Officers
and to back them in their every effort
to enforce the laws and develop the
resources of the state. There was
everywhere exhibited satisfaction
and pride in their homes and local
conditions that indicates that Colorado
is rapidly passing out of the pioneer
stage and that a very large percent
age of the population is now composed
of people born in this state, to whom
Colorado means home.
The state officers have returned
with their convictions strengthened
that 1916 is Republican year. For
mer differences, caused largely by
stupid party management, have been
forgotten. In the new and vital is
sues that have arisen the voters are
not in mood to listen patiently to
! leaders who place their own ambitions
and injured pride above their coun-
try's welfare.
