from the burden Of over-taxation.
Every year we have seen the expenses
of state government mounting higher
and higher, ill they have become a
handicap to the business man. the
farmer and the uadesman. Official
positions have been increased and
salaries advanced through the creation
of boards and commissions. many Of
them of no direct value to the people.
Protest has been without avail. The
only place for relief is through the
legislature, and my reason for per-
mittng my name to appear as a candi-
date was that as a member of the
legislature | could be in a position to
aid in stopping the constant increase in
state expenses. and also help to curtail
useless expense by lessening this
multiplicity Of boards and commis-
sions.

NO USE FOR Ir IN FIVE YEARS.

A leading banker OF Wisconsin
vouches for the following incident:
Within the past year the managers
of breweee in one Of the smaller
cities OF the state decided to build
new malt house at cost of $4,000.
They commissioned their president to
go to Milwaukee and effect loan.
He naturally went to one of the big
brewery banks of that city.
The vite-president 20 whom he applied
for the loan, was formerly In the brew
ing business and had made a hand
some fortune in that business during
the palmy days before the drys had
begun to knock the big profits out OF
IT, He very wisely got out of the bust
ness when the getting was good, not
as now, when brewing stocks are all
shot to pieces.
To the utter surprise and chagrin
Of the out-oftown brewer he was
promptly refused the loan. He ex-
claimed: Whats the matter? With
all this fine property We got, amt we
good for s25,000?"
Quick came the answer from the ex.
brewer-banker: But what do you
want to use the $4,000 for?"
"To build a malt house, so we can
enlarge our business said the brewer.
But, you fool, don't you know that
in FIVE years you will have no use
whatever for a malt house?" replied
the banker.

ADVICE TO UNCLE SAM.

There is a certain queer old book
which was printed in England more
than hundred years ago called. "The
Pleasant Art of Money Catching" It
contains this good advice: First see
that your comings-in be more than
your layings-out." Suppose a man
were taking ten thousand dollars
year over the counter of his store.
That might seem big to him. But II
he had to pay ten thousand and one
dollars for stock and rent and help
and fire, he would not be prospering,
but failing. Uncle Sam does get
great deal of money from the liquor
traffic. But he and we spend very
great deal more in caring for its vic
Tins. So this is bad business, and
when enough people have found it out
the liquor traffic will go. They are
finding 1t out very fast. Everybody
who has studied arithmetic can figure
out the reason for national prohibi-
tion. II is a matter OF dollars and
cents.-Christine Timing.

Couldn't Win cadetshIp.

Although during war time the stand

army cadetship has been slightly low

passed as naval cadet the prince con-
sort sent Lord Derby the papers done

AS looked through these" the
prime minister wrote on returning
them, "a could not but feel very grate-
ful that no such examination was nee

listers for their Office. as 1t would So
