About the greatest trouble
with this age, in this country, IS
that our governments, both
State and National, are top
heavy, and growing more so ev-
cry day. We have said it be
fore, and repeat it now, that we
are surfeited with officers, com
missioners and boards. These
things are not only expensive,
and very grievously so, but they
are, ia many instances, entirely
useless.
The demands for these nu.
merous superfluous positions
do not arise from the wants oil
the people; but the places are
created to give jobs to those
who, generally, are too indolent
to work, and a little too honor
able to steal. Another reason is
that it affords the appointing
power an opportunity Of reward
ing friends. which may be com
mendable in such power, but 1t
is rough on the tax payers who
foot the bills.
Ignoramrses are elected to
Legislative positions on plat
forms of retrenchment and re.
form, and before their seats are
fairly warm they are persuaded
that a goose ins pector is badly
needed and forth with a bill is in.
PRODUCED for this purpose, carry.
ing a salary of $4,000 a year
and herein William is given q
lob. Further along it is ascer.
tanned that ohm and Sam need
help, and three commissioners
are named, instead of one, ane
the salaries go to $4,000 instead
OF 50 900, and the sharpers whe
continually prey on the public
are made happy, while the Leg
islator thinks he has playet
thunder, and sure enough h,
has. And thus fddlers after fd
oilers are furnished, and til,
poor tax payers have to dance
to the music, whether they lik,
it or not.
The idea of the old-time law
maker was to solve the problem
of how to save the people mos
money, by relieving them oftax
alton, and to this end the Gov
eminent was administered alon,
economical lines. Instead of :;
dozen useless Boards, the Stat
officers, are certain of them
were delegated to do the work
without extra pay, and be i
said to their credit, things wer
attended to just as well, if no
better than now. At the pres
ent time, however, the sole oh
lject of the powers that be i
how to get more property OF
the tax-books, and more tax
money out of the people.

Think 1t Over.

Young men and women desir-
ing to achieve success should
not waste their summer vaca-
ton. One vacation properly
spent will protect them against
poverty and enable them to earn
a respectful living. There is no
use idling away the summer
months. Business men and
farmers alike, work during the
summer. Ambitious boys and
girls would rather spend
their vacation with large and
enthusiastic student body, mast
ering a course or Bookkeeping,
Shorthand, Telegraphy, Business
Administration and Finance or
Cotton CHASING that they might
use this practical knowledge in
paying their way through some
university or securing good
paying position in business Of
flee. He who cares more for
success than heat, goes long
ways ahead of him who waits I'M
til cool weather to study. Many
a young boy and girl who at the
close of school last year, entered
the Tyler Commercial College of
Tyler, Texas, to spend their va
cation, are now either in one of
our large universities, paying
their own way, or holding a
splendid position, or are in bust
ness for themselves. Where
there's will there's a way.
Cowardice sits and whines, l
can't. Courage forces success.
If you desire to obtain a know
ledge for which the business
world readily pays cash, write
for large illustrated free cata-
logue of the Tyler Commercial
College, read the advantages of
their splendid courses of instruc-
ton and what those who have
graduated and are now holding
good positions, say of the insti-
tuition; and what the employers
of these graduates say of their
efficient training. Read how
some worked their way through
school, how others borrowed the
money and made it pay them
big dividends, how others quit
jobs at small salaries, completed
their courses and went back to
the same firm at two and three
times their previous salary.
Some finished a home study
course and never had to quit
earning their old salary. Get
salary raising education. 1t is
yours if you are willing to make
the effort. Write today for cat
alogue and make arrangements
to enter as soon as your school
closes. The u. S. Government
has held two examinations here
in Tyler this spring enabling our
graduates to go into nice civil
service positions at entrance sal

combine their capital, and take
out a charter of incorporation,
in order that they may promote
the business of a country on a
larger scale than they could do
individually, and these men and
women are just as honorable af-
ter doing this as they were be
fore. even though cheap John
