HOW THE JEWS PAID TAXES
The Tithe Paid by Them Was Less Than
Some Have to Pay Now.

One of the most fruitful sources o
trouble in all forms of government i
that of taxation. RienzI, the last o
the Roman Tribunes, was lauded high
ly and was very great with his country
men, till he had to levy a tax to sup
port his many good plans. and ther
they wanted to kill him.
Some people look on tax as so much
they are compelled to pay and do moi
expect or look for any return, and this
may be to often the case. This is what
causes much dissatisfaction and makes
the taxpayer wish for low taxes.
The government of the Jews, in its
early history, was, perhaps, on as
cheap a system of taxation as could be
devised, considering the imperfect
people who were to live under the
government and to administer it. God
would not make perfect government
for an imperfect people. But when he
took them into the land that he had
sworn to their Fathers, to Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, to give theu great
and goodly cities which they built not,
and houses full of good things which
they filled not. and wells digged which
they digged not, and vineyards and
olive trees which they planted not.
(Deut. 6. 10 and ~, he placed rent
charge of one-tenth the yearly income
on the eleven tribes that received
these good things to be paid to the
,ther tribe, which was the tribe of
Levi, which got no land. etc., but
we're to have the offices, and this tribe,
IN turn, gave one-tenth of this to
Aaronj that is to the priests. Mum
,ers, 1877.
This one-tenth was fixed and was
III that was required. and when Il
vas paid, the Jew did not have to pay
my more though he could freely give
Is he desired.
The often heard statement that the
|ews gave one-tenth to the church is
lot correct. 1t was primarily to pay
me rent on those good things they re-
.eived for which they had paid nothing.
But it was used to pay the expenses Of
.hurch and state. and so when he paid
lis rent, he was done. and that was
,nly one-tenth. If a person here could
yet good farm with all conveniences
hereon as did the Jews and have no
hing at all to pay but yearly rent of
,ne-tenth his income. he certainly
would have a very soft deal. We may
ave occasion to discuss these matters
md the tax question some more in
hese columns hereafter.

ADJUDICATION OR DICTATION.
Cummins Bill Would Insure Fair
Dealing But Forbids Strikes.

Labor Union leaders demand the
right of collective bargaining, but
deny that right to all the rest of the
people of the country. That this as
sertion is true may be seen from a
brief analysis Of the issue presented in
proposed railway legislation.
Under present coudtions the railway
unions assert and exercise the right
aud power to fix their own wages
under the menace of a threatened
strike tying up all transportation
throughout the country. That right
and power was exercised in 1916 when
the enactment of the infamous Adam
son law was forced by the Four
Brotherhoods. with the backing of the
Federation of Labor. The wage-in-
crease Sc cured through the Adamson
law was not collective bargaining"
or bargaining of any kind. 1t was
peremptory demand and threat on one
side and an absolute surrender on the
other. The unions demanded and the
Government of the United States-all
the people of the United States
rendered.
The Cummins railroad bill proposes
to change that situation and substitute
collective bargaining or adjudication
fer dictation.
In any controversy over railroad
wages, the parties at issue are the
employees on the one hand and the
rest of the people of the country on the
other, for, in the ultimate analysis, |
the people pay the railroad employees
wages. If there is to be collective
bargaining, therefore. there should be
and must be adequate representation
Of the people who pay the wage.
The Cummins Fill proposes that in
stead Of q strike to fix the scaIs--ef /
wages, there shall be established
governmental tribunal which shall
take into consideration all related
facts and render decision determining
what is a proper wage. No employee
10 bound to accept that wage, but is
assured his right to quit Individually.
For the protection of the rights Of
all the people. however. the Cnmmins
bill makes it unlawful for two or more
persons to enter into conspiracy to
interfere with interstate commerce.
which provision would prohibit a gen.
eral strike tying up railroad service.
The railroad and other unions de-
nounce that feature of the Cummins
bill and demand continuance of power
over railroad tratfic-which means the
power to dominate the govern mont.
:, The issue thus presented is as plain
as any issue could be. Shall all the
rest of the people Of the country be
continuously at the mercy of the rail-
road unions?
All those who believe in the supre-
macy of the railroad unions will op-
pose the Cummins plan of adjusting
railroad wage disputes. All who be-
lieve in the supremacy Of government,
as the protector of all the the people,
will support the Cummins plan thus in
snring fair wage to the employee and
a continuous railroad service to the
country.

II. L. Spencer has the brick on the
ground for an Office building 30x50 feet
on the rear of the lot where the E.
B. Jones store IS. The building is to
be one story with a basement. A
little later he plans to scrap the build
ing where Mr.. Jones has his stock of
merchandise and erect a brick extend
ing from that Main street corner to
the Office building. The building is to
be used for business purposes and
will be provided with q basement.
This building will likely be close to
30x90 feet.
S. W. Potter has just purchased a
lot of 26 feet front on Main street,
adjoining his brick block near the
postoffice, and he will erect another
brick building as soon as he can get
the necessary materials to do so.
Work is expected to begin in a few
weeks or possibly within a few days.

At this time the most crying need of |
our town is for residences. Not day |
passes that some one is not heard en-
uuiring for a residence they can rent
or for rooms. Every tenable house in |
town 10 occupied and several more
would readily find occupants if they

Last fall Fl. L. Spencer began the
erection of ten residences on his addi-
ton in the north end of town. Pro-

slow because of the difficulty In secuY-
