About Halloween.


Isn't it queer, that folks sometimes
forget that they were once young,
that they used to like to soap windows,
put tic-tacs on the doors and play
little humorous jokes on the town
tolk? We would not expect it oil
them if it was every night, but it is
just n night in the whole year. Is
it then not likely that it is fair that
we throw back rocks when we go to
certain houses and are met with a
shower of rocks before we even get
to the gate? Then when we decide to
go off, and come back again and, per-
haps, catch them unawares, and when
we come back and are standing de-
Gliding whether we should soap the
windows or put a tic-tac on the door,
the lights of the house are quickly
turned out and a shot gun is fred in
the air and we are commanded to
"stop,' when we started to run.
Would you have run? Yes, you GER
tainiy would and run fast, just like
we did. Then when you stop to think
about it, don't you believe we are en-
titled to a little fun ON Halloween
night, and don'tyou think that people
do wrong when they deprive us of this
pleasure? ONE WHO RAN.

Pike County Learns its Tax Lesson.
Missouri State Journal.

N"AHSSNAA "a "o0lHul'J
Pike County is one of the great
Missouri counties in which the agents
of the Tax Commission will get a cold
reception. Land valuations we're in
creased about 210 per cent in this
county, and city property 1870 per
cent. In many cases this is greater
than the actual value of the property
The Louisiana Times gives a con
crete instance of a citizen of Pike
County, whose property was assessed
at ST 1850 for Is acres. The tax-pay-
er offeaed the land for sale for a re
duction of $500 under the assessed
valuation. His taxes are fifty per
cent greater on state taxes, and far
greater on local measures. It will be
difficult for oily Mr.. McCawley and
his band of prevaricators to convince
this Pike County farmer that taxes
have been lowered.
The complaint in Pike County was
SO vigorous that the members of the
county court appeared before the
State Board of Equalization to pro-
test. One of the judges told the
board that there was ten thousand
acres of land in Pike County, not
worth $40 per acre. Hyde spoke up,
saying, II don't believe it; my in
formation is entirely different" The
county judge offered to give legal de-
scriptions of the land he had in mind
but the Governor waved him aside.
Thus was a county judge engaged in
doing his duty by his people insuIted
by a smart-aleck Governor.
OF course, a mar raised on the
Iowa line knows all about the values
of Pike County lands. He doesn't
need any information, any way, for ii
is easier for him to form conclusions
without information. Information is
the last thing in the world he wants
even though it is the chief thing be
ought to have. Why bother about
embarrassing facts?

No Light Taxation for Is Years Says
Senator Smoot.

There is one Republican leader in
the Senate whose utterances on mat
tiers of taxation indicate that he has
never been impressed by the promise
OF his party to reduce taxation, or that
he has been favorably impressed with
low estimates of needed revenue.
Senator Reed Smoot rep. Utah. has
lost few opportunities if any to i'm
press upon the public that there will
not be and cannot be any material
reduction in taxation. OF the many
statements he has made along this
line he has within the last week add
ed the following:
"How are you going to materially
lessen taxation when for many years
we will be required to meet obliga-
tions of the government that will run
into billions of dollars?'
He then cited 50, 900, 00O, 900 as neces-
sary to meet the interest on our OBJ
legations, to care for disabled soldiers
and the sinking fund, and added:
$50 that anybody who thinks that
there is going to be light taxation in
this nation for the next quarter of a
century must have his mind disabus-
ed of such an idea. 1t cannot be
realized, and we might just as well
prepare now a tax bill which will pro-
vide the billions which we will have
to raise every year rather than to
have any mere temporary measure"
But some of Senator Shoots Re-
publican colleagues and others in the
executive branch of government go
right on trying to fool the people
with the statement that the Repub-
lican party will keep its campaign
pledge to reduce taxes.

Moses Calls Tax Bill a "Tattered Rag"

The surrender of the Old Guard re-
dictionary Republicans to the Progress
sives by the adoption of the Demo
cratic amendments to the Tax bill
caused Senator Moses Rep. N. H.) to
refer to the progressive bloc as the
Ken-Cap-Klan the first syllables OF
the names of Senator Kenyon and
Senator Capper and also to indulge in
some caustic criticism of the Tax Re-
vision bill and the work of the ex-
perts who drew it. He said:
"When I review the result of their
(the experts) ,handiwork as presented
to us in this bill / can but feel that we
have before us the battered rags of a
tax measure three years old, long
since out of style and faded, but
which now has been patched and en-
broldered In a vain attempt to bring
it up to the mode of 1922. This was
not the promise of last year; this can
not be the fulfllment of that promise
II those responsible for this seriously
expect to seek judgment of their
countrymen in 1922.
sit has been said that whatever tax
law we now enact will be only a tenn
porary measure. 1t may be that this
statement will prove true in a man
ner which some of us little wish, for |
am convinced that the dominant party
In his country, although swept into
power less than a year ago by a ma
jority vote of 1000, 900 of their coun-
trymen cannot hope again to ride the
Hood of popular approval If we con-
tinue to cling to the fragments Of q
taxation system which even those
who sponsored it only three years
ago now declare to be outworn and
unsuitable and under which the d
terprise of the country must remain
paralyz6d and stified.1

Simond Durand Estate is Nearly Ready
for Heirs.
(Fredericktown Democrat,News.)

(Fredericktown Democrat-News.)
After nearly four years of investi-
CATION and litigation, the estate OF
Simon Durand is about to be, distri-
buted, the family having been traced
down and the legal heirs found.
In December, 1917, when the miser-
ly and eccentric Frenchman died in
the southern part of the county where
he had lived for upwards of a half
century he said ana evidently peliev-
ed that he had no living relatives. AS
he realized the end was approaching
he called Attorney @. P. Damron and
made a will, but the will disposed
only of an inconsiderable part of his
wealth. It gave to the widow of a
fellow-countryman, who came TO this
country with him, $1,000. That was
the only bequest made; John Chap
man and Sam King being made exc
cutors.
Previous to his death he gave a
farm worth $25OO to John Chapman,
$1,000 to Sam King, $500 to Mrs. Sim
Graham, all of whom had rendered
him kindnesses during his lifetime
and for which he evidently wanted to
pay.
Durand was born in Ability, France,
in 1850. AS a young man he came to
America with a fellow-countryman,
Jacques Lacondamine, and shortly
thereafter each built a wheat and corn
mill nea the old Frances Whitener
farm. Both mills were operated for
some time and then the partners
went to the site of the present old
mill. There for several years they
made flour and meal and later con-
structed a distillary. The business
was profitable and within a few years
Lacondamine took his small fortune
and went home to France where be
was married. 1t was to this woman
that Durand left $1,000.
An inventory of the estate showed
the presence of money and bonds
worth mor than $4,000. The real
estate consisted of the home place of
about 500 acres. The bonds were
Mexican government and municipal
bonds from nearly every state in the
Union.
A search for heirs at once began.
Several impostors appeared and it
was only last year that B. B. Cahoon
announced that he had located heirs
in France. Soon thereafter Davis &
Davis appeared with other heirs. The
probate court was asked for a distri-
button less than a year ago to six
second cousins. Mr.. Damron, attor-
ney for the administrators, asked for
time and has since found two other
heirs, two third cousins. Mr.. Dam

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inffamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness ia the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an infiamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system,
