MORGAN COUNTY TAX
LEVY GETS BIG CUT

As we are 30 close to Morgan
county and as many Of. our readers
are directly interested in Morgan
county taxes. the following informa-
tio9 CLEANED from the Herald Of last
week.
"As predicted by the Herald some
time ago. the county board this week
reduced the county levy for all pur-
poses Of neary AZ mills.
THE school levy was raised from
1.0s mills to 3.s2 mills. by virtue Of
the new school law passed by the last
legislature.
In view OF the above 1t will be
seen that there was no other course
open to the board and the levy had
to be made In accordance with the
mandate Of the legislature.
In the items Of Ordinary County
Revenue and Mothers Compensa-
tion, no changes were made. The
latter practically amounts to a poor
fund and would have to be taken
care Of ANYWAY Besides 1t Is also
fixed by statuts.
However. foar funds have been
discontinued entirely. namely: The
Contingent, Advertising Bridge
Fund. and the Court House and Jail
Fund while the County Road and
Bridge Purpose Fund is ieduced
from to 2 mills.
Last year the total levy for all
purposes was IA mills. and this year
through the local boards action. It
has been ruduced to 80 mills-a net
saving to Morgan county tax payers
'of 4 mills. This in spite Of highest
state levy ever made and the new
school tax laws.
The big reduction comes at 4
time when It will be most welcome
to the average tax payer. and when
most counties are raising their lev
les instead Of lowering them. In
deed, In a, number Of counties indig-
nation meetings have been held pro-
testing against exorbitant taxes end
threatening board members with -
call. And at that, when considering
the sudden slump from peak prices
and that many boards were caught
with unfinished contracts at the
high rates on their hands. these men,
bers are not SO much to blame as
they might be. The same thing hap
pened all over the United States.
That Morgan county was not
caught in the same boat, Ia due en-
tirely to the good management Of its
board Of commissioners.
Most taxpayers under the circum-
stances would have been tickled to
death that their taxes were not rails
ed. and It Is safe to say that none
expected reduction Of such pro-
portions as has been given them by
the local board

Appertaining to and Concerning


A correspondent asks me if I will
tell her how to acquire the habit OF
cheerfulness, and the art of being
merry.
Well, of course. the real recipe for
becoming a human sunbeam is like
that for acquiring a beautiful complex
ion. You have to be born with it, All
others are mere camouflage and
makeshifts, but, just as by care and
attention, and a copious use of cold
cream you can improve a bad COM
plexion, SO, by the exercise Of thought,
and philosophy, and a liberal appIi-
cation of the salve of diplomacy, you
can brighten up pessimistic DISPOSE
ton.
To one who would fain take an
optimistic outlook on the world, I
would recommend a good course of
liver medicine as a starter along the
CHEEKY road. Nothing puts such hope
in your soul and strength in your char
acter, as a judicious dose of calomel.
Whenever you have that dark brown
taste in your mouth, and life becomes
ashes, cinders and dust in your teeth,
beat it for the nearest drug store.
The subsequent results will leave you
loving your fellowman, and convinced
that God is in His Heaven, and all is
right with the world.
So many things that we think are
spiritual are merely physical. Most
grouchineSS is the result of dyspepsia.
Morbidness is the outward and visible
sign of flap-jacks and sausage within,
and nearly all irritability is over
wrought nerves. Good health would
cure most of the wrongs of society.
for when we are feeling good we act
good.
So if you want to be cheerful, look
first to your liver, for not without rea-
son do the Turks speak of one they
love as 1.-The joys of their liver No
body can smile the smile-tha t-won't-
come-off unless that organ is doing
business properly at the old standard.
And if you get up in the morning
with a chip on your shoulder, and
Eyearning to fight anybody in sight.
and if everything that everybody says
to you irritates you beyond endur-
ance, don't go on a debauch OF tears,
and melancholy in which you have
perfectly grand time viewing yourself
as martyr who is misunderstood and
not appreciated. Lock your door, and
go to bed and stay there until you are
rested, and fit for family consumption
once more.
Having got your body in the proper
state, the next aid to cheerfulness is
to adopt sane attitude towards life.
Try to see things in their right proper
lions, and not make mountains out of
molehills. Suppose life isn't all you
want. Suppose you have disappoint-
ments and diSillusions. Suppose you
even have great griefs. Does any good
come of whining over your misfor
tunes, and hugging your sorrows to
your breast?
We are sad and gloomy because we
are always demanding of fate: "Why
should 1 be sick? Why should 1 be
poor? Why should I lose those I
love?" We should be more cheerful
if we could see ourselves as the poor,
insignificant atoms that we are. and
ask of destiny: why, of all created
human beings, should be the favored

r Whether the public utilities law
shall be repealed or shall continue to
cucumber the statute books, the court
of industrial relations should be re-
lieved of the duty of its administration
as recommended by Governor Allen In
his message to the legislature. The
administration of the law places upon
the court a burden which it was not
intended that it should bear and sub
iects its members to criticisms and an
noyances which may easily hamper 1t
in the discharge of those duties which
primarily it was established to per-
form. The court was established Tor
the purpose of preserving industrial
peace and justice in the state and
nothing should be permitted to inter-
fere with the attainment of this end
Whatever inharmony has developed
among the judges has been due to its
attempts at carrying out the provi-
sions of the public utilities law.

1t appears that Kansas cannot en-
ter upon the business of supplying it,
self with material for improving its
highways without an amendment to
the constitution. A joint resolution
calling for the submission of such
amendment to a vote of the people
has been introduced in the legislature.
This means a delay of two years in the
taking of a step of great importance
to the taxpayers. Kansas already has
brick plant in successful operation
at Lansing. and its product has gone
into the construction of many state
buildings. The Susual argument that
the state should not engage in bust
ness which will compete with private
enterprise may be expected, but no
valid objection can lie against the
commemorative making brick and
cement for it's own use.

LOTTIE SPROUSE.

In lonely little farm house near the
village of Laclede. in Effingham
county, Illinois, a little girl sits at the
window and waves her hand to the
trainmen as their trains pass swiftly
by.
For six years she has done this
She never misses a single train. And
able to sleep-she waves with lighted
match.
Each trainman thought that he was
carrying on a silent little romance all
his own-until few months ago when
some one Of them investigated and
learned that the stranger was Lottie
Sprouse, now Is years of age, who for
these six years has been confined to
her cot with infantile paralysis But
tho hlpless, she kept right on sig
mailing her cheer to every train that
whisked by.
On Christmas day, the big hearted
trainmen took Lottie wheel chair, a
robe, large blanket and other gifts.
They all called together, having char
tered two of the Illinois CentraPs fast
passenger trains and stopped right In
front of the little home for the pur-
pose.
Furthermore, the fine trainmen are
to care for the thoughtful and pa
tient invalid while she is receiving
the proper medical attention-for her
fathers circumstances up to now did
not permit it.
This helpless little girl began by
thinking of others. She could only

then, according to the testimony of
the job-hunters. few of them are re-
liable. For the men to go direct to
the factories and hotels and offices
and department stores seeking work
is merely a waste of time and shoe
leather. Recent canvasses have shown
that not single job is to be had in
any of these quarters.
Only Accountants Wanted.
In fact. the only class of workers
for which there is still an active de-
mand is accountants. Requests for
auditors and assistant accountants are
still so great that there are not nearly
enough to go around. This is because
of the large number of New York
firms which have lost goods and money
in the crime wave and have to have
their books Strengthened out.
It seems that when a crook robs
a store he not only does much damage
to the stock but to the books as we'll.
Missing stock plays havoc with a
firms bookkeeping. So as long as the
crooks keep up their work, at. least
accountants will have jobs.

MEDDLING IN BUSINESS.

There are before congress a num-
Der of bills designed to promote gov
eminent interference with industry,
either thru restrictions or by giving
it a boost. Along with these plans for
legislation goes the almost invariable
accompaniment of federal investiga-
ton.
Fifteen months ago Attorney Gen
eral Palmer started on his crusade to
reduce the high cost of living thru
series of department of justice inyes-
legations. The administration in
formed the public that this course
would be certain to reduce prices be-
cause the profiteers would grow
alarmed at the. approaching investi-
cation and would cease to take exor-
bitant profits. So sure was the pres
ident that the investigations would
lower prices that he asked the railway
employees to hold back their demands
for higher wages for three months.
expressing the opinion that, before the
three months had elapsed, the prices
of commodities would have fallen to a
point where the pay of the railway
employees would be adequate.
Those Investigations started by the
attorney general were Immediately
followed by an increase in prices in
almost every industry that was inves-
tigated. 1t is easy now to see why
such a result was inevitable. Federal
interference caused a withdrawal of
capital and slackened production
Whenever the federal investigators be-
gan prying into the private affairs of
a business it's credit was temporarily
ruined. Investigators brought charges
on the most flimsy pretexts in order to
justify their activities; the public be-
came suspicious; and the lessened
production which followed did the
rest.
1t is not of record that a single
great profiteer was convicted as the
result of these Investigations, altho a
mass of indictments were obtained,
every one of which operated very
much like throwing a monkey wrench
into the wheels of industry. The in
vestigations cost millions and the
shrinkage in production and conse-
quent higher prices cost the consum-
ing public tens of millions.

In the financial report of Armour &
Co. for the year 1920, attention is
called to the unsatisfactory prices
paid producers. but the livestock men
are told that in this matter they have
nothing on the company. The report
says: Despite prices that were too
low to suit producers. and despite the
best efforts on the part of the packers
to make q profit, our business in this
country was conducted at a loss.''
There is nothing to prevent the pack
ers from following the practice of al
most every other industry that has
lost money and applying to the gov
eminent for help. In the early sixties
there was widely sung a song the re-
frain of which was: Uncle Sam Is
rich enough to give us all a farm
That sentiment seems still to survive
among several classes of citizens.
