General Assembly on program OF

find the useless expense, and must
recommend it abolition. He must act
with such judgement and courage that
the General, Assembly will heed his

needed if he is maintaining or build

be hampered by considerations OF fu-

the executive office under obligations
to the office-holders and to the office

the present situation. 1t does not mat

the money which, is 5eing misspent.
However, to particu.astze. at this tiisle

am content with that which is already
in action. The revenues of the state
are derived from its taxes on proper
ty and privileges, and from fees and
penitentiary receipts. 1t is known to
all that property in the state is not
fully assessed. The constitutional
provision providing for the assessment
of property at its cash value is not
strictly observed. 1t never will be,
and that fact might be well accepted.
Indeed, the state does not need the
reyenu, which would be derived from
an exact assessment of all property

TIGHTEN THE TRACES

Another campaign is upon us,-and
they seem to come so often now that
there isn't so much romance connect
ed with the coming. The new charm
has gone and it is becoming a stern
reality. The march is becoming more
regular and the calls are more frequent
and for larger sums. That's just a
natural sequence of war. 1t is not
time to look back and try to ferret out
"A reason for this burden increase.

has done its part for the war up to

we are coming with our portion of

The War Stamp is not a gift This
is a loan on which your government

count which for security cannot he

Crisp county must bring up over
100000 in the present drive. The
original quota was approximately
$328,OOO. 90 this about $4,000 has
already been raised, and the long drive
must come within the present cam

GHOSTS OF 1871.

In nearly every newspaper printed
in Germany at the present moment is
presented scme kind of scheme for
the solution of the question OF Alsace-
Lorraine. What the Germans cannot
understand is the fact virtually every
real Alsatian and Lorrain rejects in
totality any scheme for joining his
native land either to the German EN-
pire or any of its component federal
States.
The latest method Of disposing of
the two provinces discussed in the
German Imperial Parliament pro
poses their division between Prussia
and Bavaria, Lorraine to be taken by
the former and Alsace by the latter
This proposition not only is rejected
by the inhabitants of the provinces
themselves, but has aroused protests
from several of the German States,
and especially from Wuerttenberg
consequently for the time being it
has been allowed to drop in favor of
