WOKE US UP FOR FACTS.

The Dunlap Tribune charges
half price for obituaries. Sc
quachee Valley News.
Since you have mentioned it
and we come to think of it, that
is entirely too cheap. But they
don't want to pay that much and
some have the cheek and gall to
ask that they be printed free.
Say, Bill, let's go up to Tracy
City Mrs. Grundy's price, which
is 800 for a card of thanks or
an obituary, See last weeks is
sue. And say, Bill, while we
are on prices, how many more
times are you going to run that
kodak add for that Birmingham
firm for the price of one inser-
tion?-Dunlap Tribune.
What does a little four-line ad
amount to during these piping
times Of democratic prosperity.
if overrun a time or two? Since
you have mentioned it, what
about the advertising on the pat
ent side of your sheet. Last
week you carried 1872 inches of
advertising. or more than half
of the total space of the two in
side pages of the Tribune. You
do not get anything for this adj
vertising, but somebody does.
Now to the point. This demo-
cratic government is throttling
the newspapers with lot of abb
surd regulations and laws, and
one of them is the zone system
of charging for both reading mat
ter and advertising. Do you
figure this out weekly and pay
the tax on it by zones. Begin
ming this month it goes much
higher, and must mean consider
able revenue to the government
in a year. If you do not pay any
tax, does your ready print house
pay the tax? We do not believe
it does, for it is in favor OF the
zone system being retained. If
neither it nor you pay the tax,
the government is losing revenue
from the Tribune. See the
point?
Another point, we have discov-
cred that you can't geta fair rate
from the zone system. II you
send ONE paper into certain
zones, and report it-like an hon
est man-you can't get enough
out of the subscription to pay the
postage. for you are taxed full
pound rate for the reading mat
ter into that zone and full pound
rate for the advertising matter
into that zone, and no fractions
are allowed to the publishers.
That's some more democratic law
for you in this land OF the free
and nome of the brave.
Are the newspapers OF the
country the democratic ones,
particularly observing this law?
Or is it law for papers which
are NOT democratic only? We
undertand that there is paper in
this valley, which. if its subscrip- |
ton lists were examined by a
postoffice Inspector. would have
only a very small amount of paid
subscriptions to show, and it car
ries an enormous amount OF
advertising.

If you will notice about every speak
er out for the league big business pro-
gram refrains from putting forth any
argument on the various bills to be
submitted to the people, and if they
do touch on these bills it is very light
and most unsatisfactory. Instead they
spend most of their time calling those
who do not agree with them hard
names, try to SOW the seeds of dissen-
ton between people and endeavor to
get somebody mad so that they can
come out in glazing headlines and say
that big business or the kept press is
trying to trottle the common people.
This is the veriest kind Of tommyrot
and is only done to keep the public
eye from the main issue-to get con-
troll Of the government and resources
Of the state by the socialist element
that will ultimately lead us into finan-
cial disaster. Some Of these speak
ers we have in mind have no more in
terest in the dear farmer than the man
in the moon. The only interest they
have is in pulling the wool over their
eyes in lot Of senseless taffy and
cracks at what is termed big business
and in trying to create discord be-
tween city and country, the main thing
however, with these orators is to try
and land some political plum and in

ing thoughts. The citizens were en-
Joined to bring up az; healthy male
children and at least one female child.
AL children must be allowed to live
until they were three years old, unless
they were lame or monstrous. The
lame and the monstrous had some
rights, for the edict read that the par
ents in doing away with them must. act
not entirely on their c,wn Judgment.
This was the first recognition that the
children were not to be absolutely
sacrificed for the state, but that the
state existed for the child. No other
laws have affected civilization as have
the Roman laws. In glancing through
the pages Of history, we see that Rome
again fell to corruption, but the re-
forms Of Augustus illuminate history.
In one Of the provisions Augustus set
aside a reward Of about forty dollars
for the person who would rear an or
phan. This was the seed Of a growing
