Take the leak case. One heard at
every street corner and in every hotel
corridor in the city of Washington that
certain man of high official position
whose name was given. had met anoth-
er man whose name was given, at a
certain place and at certain time,
one located definitely, and the other
given to the minute, and had tipped
him the peace note secret.
\ little inquiry showed that the Off
cial of the government had not met the
man and had not been at the place
mentioned at any time, let alone ut the
hour set for the meeting when trust
was said to have been betrayed.
1t seems to be generally admitted
that there was a leak somewhere along
the pipe line of information. There
have been leaks before in the history of
the United States government. Ger

thoroughly in the press. Washington

millions in Wall street for one set of

Great Variations Found.

The surveys conducted by the spe-
Cialists showed great and Inconsistent
variations in prices paid for cotton of
different grades. The average of prices
on observed transactions in Alabama
for one month, for example, was 1891
cents for strict good ordinary and l".41
cents for strict good I1idding, the lat
ter being six grades better than the
former. The higher grade of cotton
thus sold for 20 cents less per bale
than that of the lower grade, when on
the basis of New Orleans differences,
it was actually worth $50 per bale
more. The Inconsistencies and differ
enceS were especially apparent among
the higher grades above middling.
This. the specialists feel, is most un-
fortunate since it shows Il failure to
recognize the value of Improvement OF
cotton varieties by growers and in ef-
feet puts a premium on careless and
Indifferent farming.

It is believed that the anglers Ii
cense fee, which is now yLOO. should

a decrease in licenses paid during the

there is a rapidly increasing need for

upon a generous scale. 1t Is my expec.
tation that the increased revenue

most exclusively 70 the propagation
of trout for the upbuilding Of our ang

Local Economy
The growing desire to keep down
taxes is to be commended, especially
because il surely indicates an increas-
ed public interest in community af-
fairs. The very best way to get eff
cheney in public administration,
whether it be district, municipal,
county or state, is for the citizens af-
fected TO take an active hand in what
is going on.
l wecome, therefore, these cam
paigns for lower taxes and improved
public administration; the latter, in
its best sense, carries with It the for
mer. But so far as the state is con
cerner we should realize that only
about one dollar out of every ten paid
in taxes, in an average county, goes
to state expenses, while the other
nine are devoted to the costs Of the
county, school, district and city. This
