In the old time public life Of Great
Britain there was a reason In theory for

OF work. Most statesmen came from the
old families, the traditional ruling caste.
They were supposed to be men OF hered-
iiary wealth who were willing TO give
their service for the public welfare, whila
the icgal officials were professional men
who must sacrifice their private prac-
tice whiio holding office. In the later
day OF democracy. particularly when the
liberal party. whose leaders include n
large number OF lawyers. the old tradi-
ton does not apply. The prime minister,

TOWNSHIP TAX LEVY
MAY Be CUT DOWN
S1If REPORT STANDS

Wayne townships tax levy will be
81 on every 800 next year If the re-
port of Trustee Edgerton is accepted.
This Is the lowest levy ever asked for
by this township,
Last year the levy was $1.04 and the
year previous it was five cents more
than this The levy could have been
made even lower but as it is, the pro-
posed appropriations call for $4,000
towards paying off the old debts of
the township.
About $4,000 of the old debts We're
paid off this year. This leaves the
township debt at $4,000 and this can
all be paid off within the newt two or
three years, because there are no new
buildings to be erected.
The appropriations asked for for
next year amount TO $45,654.9s. En-
pendtures last year were about
$4,000 An appropriation of $1,000 is
asked for this year to buy more
