DEAD TOWS AND
HIGH TAXES

copyrighted. 1914. by Thomas ]. Sullivanl
Taxing is an easy business. Any
new official can contrive new imposi-
tions, any bungler can add to the old,
but is 1t altogether wise to have no
other bounds to your impositions than
the patience OF those who are to bear
them?
What a benefit the government
would render the state, the city, the
village and hamlet II 1t would but tax
vices instead Of property: Bonaparte
said he found vices very profitable.
He got $5.00O,000 annually from the
lovers of brandy, and he wanted to
know what virtue would pay him that
much.
Taxes Increasing Each Year.
Taxes are the sinews Of the state,
and they are indeed heavy, but IL those
laid by the government were the only
ones we had to pay we might more
easily discharge them, but we have
others, and much more grievous TO
some of us.
We are taxed twice as much by our
ignorance, three times as much by our
disloyalty and four times as much by
our folly, and from these taxes the
commissioners cannot ease or deliver
us by allowing an abatement.
The state, county and town levy and
exact a certain tax from every piece of

aries. the amount depending upon the
official requirements. In rich, pros
porous community, where marketing
and manufacturing lend their stimulat-
ing influences. taxes are low. A COM
munity where the local town is dead
taxes necessarily are high.
The explanation is easy. The town
which is prosperous has successful
merchants with large and valuable
stocks of goods; it has manufacturing
plants and industrial enterprises OF
great worth; it has newspapers, bank
ing houses and hotels, and, above all,
it is a marketing center. The large
amount and the high value placed upon
this property materially decrease the
tax demands made upon the farmer I'm
that vicinity.
Streets Paved With Jimson Weeds.
Then take the other town, the dead
town. What are the cause and effect?
The cause is lack of patronage, lack of
Industrial pride, disloyalty and igno-
rance Of ones own condition and best
interests. The effect? The town has
become Jay" town. In the streets
have grown jimson weeds, the side
walks have gone to decay, the stores
are vacant, and an air of poverty and
dilapidation prevails.
In this latter town and the surround
ing community taxes arc high, prop
erty values have decreased, and alto
gether it is an undesirable place to live
in, and the disposition Of such property
is an impossible feat.
AS we stand and survey the ruins Of
a once prosperous and promising city
we turn to the once successful retail
merchant, now standing In the door OF
his empty store, and ask for the an
swer
Briefly he makes reply: "The retail
catalogue houses. Our residents in this
community became hypnotized by their
pictures and prices and misrepresenta-
tions, and this is the result"
Fifth.--I patronize the home dealer
because he stands back Of his goods
and In case Of error is willing to rec
tify.

What Constitutes a Good Ege

A good market egg should weigh
at least two ounces, or twenty-four
to twenty eight ounces to the dozen.
1t should be clean, not washed, should
have the typical egg shape, and all
eggs in an entry should be firm
enough so that they would not break
in going to market. The air cell
should be small, as it indicates fresh
ness, and the yolk and white should
be of perfect quality, and should be
firm. not waterY.
