STATE GOVERNMENTS
COSTS AND TAXATION
TAX RATE is NO INDICATION OF

MAIN POINT.

(H. 7. Lewis, department of economies
and political science, State Univer-
sity).
The increase in the cost of govern
ment within recent years is one of the
most notable and most serious OF eco
nomic phenomena. More than any
other one thing have the increasing
demands in the form of taxation and
study to the form dsStheir government.
its business methods, and the func-
lions which 1t is endeavorlng to per-
form.
The agitation takes various forms
each having some element of truth in
| it. A reduction of unnecessary boards
and offices, more careful scrutiny OF
newly proposed functions, and an in
sistence upon a more carefully exer-
eised trusteeship of public funds are
only some of the lines of attack. But
the cost of reducing governmental ex-
penditures is not as easy as 1t appears
One says, "How reduce taxes" Easy
stop spending money. But state
government can not do this altogether
and the question of where to curtail
expenditures is far from being simple
Moreover. it is questionable whether
in the long run, taxes can be reduced
at all. For instance. state must buy
many supplies of various kinds and
must hire a good deal of labor in a
competitive market. So long as prices
and wages continue to rise, state
can not expect to keep these expenses
down to where they once were. Other
reasons will readily suggest them
selves to the reader.

London. May 16.-Official an

general commanding the home force
that 81 Dublin revolutionists have

the court martial sitting in Dublin.
The terms of Imprisonment range

was begun Monday, had been allowed
to freely communicate with friends in

home from a tour of the Orient, where
he studied political conditions in
China, believes the new cabinet sys-

has shorn President Yuan Shi Kai of
some of his power, it will keep him
more firmly in the seat at the head
of the government, Professor Harris
said today.

San Antonio, Texas, May 16.-Vil-
lista bandits operating within a short
distance of Carranza's capital wrecked
a train early Friday morning near
Gonzales, which is but a short distance
north of Queretaro, killing at least
"a persons. Passengers fleeing from
Mexico City were robbed OF money and
Jewels estimated to amount to $780,
600 in value. Among the passengers
were a number of American men and
women who were robbed and who
made their way, afoot and half clad,
to Gonzales, nine miles distant
The news of the bandit attack on the
train was brought to Eagle Pass by
passengers on a train over the Mexican
National, which left Gonzales Satur-
day and which carried most of the
passengers of the wrecked train north
to the junction for Laredo.
Diplomats on Train.
Charles Douglas. the Washington
attorney who attended to Carranza' s
legal interests during the period that
ended in recognition, was On the train.
With him were Emil Pohl, the Swiss
consul at San Francisco, and his at
torney, Douglas Leckie, also of San
Francisco. They were IN a private car
which was small and dark and was

stayed with the train and were taken
back to Mexico City the next day by
special train provided by Carranza.
The bandits had torn up the rails
and the engine and first four cars went
into the ditch. Many passengers were
killed in the cars and a few were shot
by the bandits for resisting or pro-
testing against robbery.
Shot Into Wreckage.
Ae
ling themselves from the swreckage an
armed group of 80 to 40 bandits
swooped down upon them, shouting
Viva Vilfa," AS they came they fired
three volleys into the train, but it
is not known that any were killed by
their wild fire.
Men and women in the cars that
stayed on the track jumped through
the windows on the opposite side and
most of these got away into the brush,
leaving most of their clothing and
their hand baggage in the coaches.
Among these were several American
women whose names were not obtain

One group of them was evidently look

they released them with shouts of saw
age delight and promptly shot the
Carranza officer who had them in

AS fast as passengers were robbed
they were permitted to go unmolest-
ed further. The bandits remained in
possession of the train until daylight
when they rode away.
