FARMER HANGS
HIMSELF WITH
ROPE IN BARN

John Anderson, SO years old, liv-
ing just over the county line in Mon
roe, near Long Branch, hung himself
Wednesday forenoon of last week.
He was out in the fields working
with his sons when he took quite i'll,
we are told. The sons persuaded
him to go to the house and lie down.
When they came in at noon they
learned that their father had not re-
turned. He was found dangling to
rafter in the barn and apparently
had been dead several hours.
Mr.. Anderson had been in bad
health several years, and it is sup
posed he became respondent from
that cause. He was we'll fixed, had
two farms and money out at inter-
est. He was a native of Denmark.
Came to the Long Branch neighbor-
hood about 80 years ago. The wife,
two daughters and two sons survive
him. He was a fine citizen, well
liked by everybody. The burial was
at Paris.

FUTURE, PAST
AND PRESENT

p. E. Waters and S. d. Wilson
were in Mexico Saturday and both
were in spirit of pTophesy.
Mr.. Waters thinks that within ten
years the air will be as full of flying
machines, nearly, perhaps, as the
number of autos that moment which
stood parked east of the Public
Square.
Mr.. Wilson was of like notion. The
latter grew reminiscent, besides. He
was reared west of Thompson. In
1S47, when was but three years old.
he rode down to Mexico on a horse
behind his father. They hitched the
horse to a sappling or hazel sprout,
thick over the ground now occupied
by Mexico business houses. The IA
ther had him make his first trade;
he went to the only little store in
the place, built of logs, just west of
where the Court House now stands
and bought himself a pair of boots.
He at once became the proudest
youngster in America. He also
bought a corn meal sitter.
No autos then, no flying machines.
Even the hitchracks have come and
gone.
Mr.. Waters and Mr.. Wilson linked
up the future with the past all right,
eh?

WANTS TAXATION
TO Be EQUALED

Hon. Frank s. Regan, of Rockford,
ILL.,, a speaker of national reputation,
made rousing speech for Statewide
prohibition in Mexico Friday night.
He took a little different course
from most prohibition speakers and
emphasized the fact that not only the
saloons and brewers of this country
are lodging the payment of taxes, but
that the big corporations in other
lines are shamefully guilty.
He was in Jefferson City the other
day and found an interesting item:
The State Auditors report for 1913
shows that the 2S saloons at Jeffer-
son City paid only $9.41 ad valorem
tax for that year. The next year they
paid only $7.S9.
"Our country is very wealthy, but
with all our wealth." Mr.. Regan went
on to say, "only one per cent are
wealthy, IL per cent are well-to-do,
3S per cent are poor, and so per cent
are downright poor That means
that SO per cent are poor, and booze
is at the bottom of the whole bus
mess.
"If it were possible to assess our
large corporations, taxes could be
lowered Some of you people may
trade with Sears, Roebuck & Co. in
% ok4
buck & Co. could sell goods at cost
this year and then could clear
$2,216,OO0 because of the evasion of
legal taxes.
81 said some time ago that the man
who drank paid the taxes. In 1910
there were SO, 100000 in the
United States, and in that year $2,-
272,0O0,O00 of that wealth passed
over the bar.
Anheuser-Busch, Lemp, Pabst and
other big breweries evade taxes
They're worth millions - why
shouldn't they pay taxes? Large
railroads are exempt from taxes
"hAAO bhO Oh6AhOCt AhuoI pay LdAOo
on the watch he uses to run his train
on schedule time. You have to pay
one dollar tax on your dog-but
large packing houses evade taxes on
millions of dollars. Is that fair? Yet
with all our wealth, we tax the man
who drinks-and the S8 per cent
poor people in this country for a big
majority of those taxes.
Did you ever investigate the cost
of producing beer? One barrel of
beer, holding 32 gallons, costs Pabst
70 cents to make. Lemp puts up a
barrel for 3S cents. Including tax,
revenue and other Things, that bar
rel costs $2.10-yet the man who
gets it over the bar pays $28.65 for
1t. Some profit, isn't it?
II believe that the drinking man
who stops to consider these facts,
will readily see that he pays the tax
es. l believe in a fair deal for every
body and / believe the drinking man
isn't getting a fair deal. AS soon as
he wakes up, l believe he'll give the
traffic death blow"
Mr.. Regan's Mexico speech made a
profound impression on his hearers.

Plans are being discussed to oil
four miles of dirt road leading out
from Mexico. The experiment with
oil on the Boulevard is all right, so
far. Let's see what winter will do
for the Boulevard. If it proves what
is wanted, then it should not be any
trouble to get four miles out from
Mexico: we predict oil roads in all
