Upon the People
WOULD CUT 1922 TAXES

Governor r. A. Nestos today issued
letter asking all public officials in
the state to join in a common effort to
reduce expenses OF government and
cut. taxes. His letter, addressed to
the chairman of the county commits
sioners Of each county, called upon
them to scan their. expenses closely
AID seek ways to reduce them. The
letter follows:
To the Chairman Board of County
commissioners.
Dear Sir:
Since my Inauguration as COVER
nor, a couple of weeks ago, l have
sought to ascertain just what can be-
done by the new administration to re-
duce the expenses, to institute econ
omies and to lessen the tax burdens
Of our people.
Il find that considerable may be
done here and the expenses of the
state government considerably reduc-
ed, and to this extent the tax-burden-
ed people Of our state will be re-
lieved, but I am also mindful of the
fact that while saving of a million
or two in the cost of administering
the business and affairs of our state
is important that-as compared with
the total tax burdens of our people for
the school districts, townships vii
lages, cities and counties of our state
lit is, after all, but a slight percent
age OF reduction and that, therefore,
il becomes essential in order to bring
any substantial relief to the taxpayers
<of our state to effect similar reduc-
tion in the cost. Of the administration
;of ,our counties and various other po-
litfcal subdivisions.
Counties Must Help.
"The present administration desires
to do it's share, and rigid system OF
economy has already been instituted
with the result that material saving
will result, but we are anxious that in
this program of economy We shall
have the cooperation of every polltl-
cal subdivision of our state. am
sure that great results can be secured
if the state administration, the county
commissioners, and the boards OF our
- school districts, townships, villages
and cities, together with all public Of
ticials. will apply the same rigorous
economies to the public business as the
citizenship Of our, state have applied
and are now constrained to apply to
their private expenditures and their
private affairs during these months OF
depressed conditions.
'.For the sake Of securing compare,
i tive statistics, I wish that you wouio
have the auditor prepare for US at the
earliest possible moment a statement
of the appropriations made for the
general fund during the years 1917
1919 and 1921 together with such
other information as he would deem
Of value in making a comparative
study Of the growth Of these expend
itures. !,

 PLOT TO THROW BIG SERIES

, CHICAGO, August 1.-The defense counsel in the baseball trial today placed the major part of it's closing arguments before the jury in a series of pleas brought to a climax in a dra- matic address by A. Morgan Frum- berg, of St. Louis, attorney for Carl Fork, in which he charged that the state, having let the instigators of the baseball scandal go free, was irving to make goats of underpaid ball players and penny ante gamb- lers."
 Frumberg repeatedly asked the jury in reaching it's verdict, to con- s1der why Arnold Rothstein. of New York. had never even been indicted when the states witnesses in the tri- al named him as the financier of the alleged conspiracy and why J. J. Sul- l1van, of Boston, Rachael Brown. of New York, Hal Chase and Aba Attell others who have been termed leaders in the case, were never brought to trial

'When I first took Tanlac two years ago last spring I was about as near down and out as it is possible for a man to get" said Charles H. Keller. 732 Gladys Ave, Los Angeles, Cal.
 T had not been able to work for three months and was so weak could hardly get around I had no appetite. and when I did force down u little something my stomach hurt me so bad I could hardly stand it. I would fill up with gas and get so weak and faint I could hardly stand up.
 "I was no nervous I shook all the time. went through many nights with out sleeping scarcely any, and felt so tired mornings I could hardly get up. I was badly discouraged, and had no confidence in anything to help me.
 By the time I had taken four bot ties of Tanlac I was sleeping we'll at night. eating three square meals a day, feeling rested and strong morn ings and had gone back to work. Tn fact was feeling as strong and healthy as I ever did. and had gained fifteen pounds in weight.
 Last winter I hao a spell of the flu which left me in pretty bad shape so just took few bottles of Tanlac. and it put me in fine condition again. keep two or three bottles in the house all the time now. Tanlac is certainly all that is claimed for IL, ano in my case it did more than ever. bought any medicine could do."
