He is man Of general information

He has never failed to make
fight for any progressive legislation
that would help the farmers or agri-

the source of the prosperity of this
state, and some Of the most important
legislation along that line has been
credited to his influence in the past.

SALARIES OR PUBLIC SPIRIT.

What motive shall be depended
upon to induce good men to give up
their time to take positions IN loca,
government other public WORK j:
Shall it be salaries or public spirit !!
Thousands of city and county en-
vineers and assessors of taxes, Tor
instance, get less than day laborers.
The former are expected to give the
nublic the results of their technical
education, and the latter to uncover
millions of hidden property for tax.
alton. The same thing is true OF
many other classes OF munlclpal EN-
ployes. ,od
The honor of the office, coupled
with loyal desire to work for thelr
hme cmmunity, leads many men to
takemunicipal positions at salaries
far below their value in business
life. In the ordinary run OF city ana
town government work, where no ex-
cention-all honor attaches to the
nosition. it is good policy to pay
faithful official enough to keep nm
cntented.
IF only a part of his time is asked
and II ne Cali hCCp oAOhe -"
business just as usual while DONG
public work, he should be willing to
take his turn in community service
without pay or at least on a very
moderate compensation.
On such positions as members OF
school boards, members of city
councils. and all kinds of boards and
commissions the work of which can
he done largely out of business
hours, many public spirited citizens
serve their home towns without
salary.
If You offer salaries for such serv-
ice, it will be sought after by men
of small caliber to whom the dollar
looks big. If you depend on pubic
spirit as the motive, you rule out
some undesirables. But to make
this theory work, good citizens must
expect to take their turn in spirit
of loyalty to the common cause.

GAMBLING.

One result said to have followed
this period of artificial prosperity,
is o great amount Of gambling.
Many men. particularly unmarried
fellows, are fairly burning up their
high wages in elusive games OF
chance.
One If these days when the infla-
ton Of these times has flattened out
they will wish they had q few Of
these slippery dollars that formerly
seemed SO insignificant.
Gard playing is wonderful stu
DIV, but the people who depend up
on money rather than scientific play
to make it interesting, are approach
inc this pastime from the wrong end.
The fellow who gets the gambling
fever finds his attention diverted
from business. He burns out This
hope, energy, and brains in the few
erish pursuit of false winnings.
