There are more Indians living To-

comprising Mexico than eyer existed
at any one time in all the rest of the
Western Hemisphere combined, ac-
cording to bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society. OF the
$4,000, 600 inhabitants of Mexico fully
80 per cent are pure Indians and 43
per cent of mixed blood, only 10 per
cent being whites. These mixed nil
lion Indians, many of whom are 1e-
scendants of that wonderful race, the
Aztecs, are divided into many linguis-
tic families and tribes, the numbers
varying according to the standards of
differentiation adopted by each en-

them into fourteen families, with If
ty-one languages and sixty-nine dia-
lects, while others make sixteen fam
lily divisions, sub-disided into one hum

THE Home Rule and Taxpayers lea
gae, which did such effective service in
the interest of the people of Wisconsin
in the campaign of 1914. is to continue
to act in the same interest in 1916 upon
the identical issues that then had its
support. The platform of the league
remains unchanged. The people are
over-tsxed and over-governed. In the
management Of their private business
they are constantly harsssed by state
agents whose services are not needed,
whose activities are offensive and irri-
tating and who ought to be dismissed.
A wrong continues to be wrong until
it is righted. Injustice does not 'be-
come any less intolersble with age. A
hOary-headed criminal has no just claim
to leniency. In many instances it takes
from one-quarter to one-half of the net
income from property to pay the taxes.
Such condition ought not to exist.
Till these and many other similar
wrongs are righted the Taxpayers
league will continue its work, and along
the same lines followed in the year
1914. We cannot enrich a people by
taxing them" One of the duties of the
league will be to point out to the people
