The White Man s Burden

Practically every western state is facing for this year the greatest tax bill record In many instances the tax has been doubled and rebed in the past six years
 Industry will be called upon pay this burden and there is way to get out of it. for the bill has been tracted.
 The people largely blame for the present state of affairs and they will get relief until by their voice expressed at elections they have the courage to demand tax reduction and to hold public officials to campaign pledges for economy.
 Further, the citizen must get out and vote for men and measures which guarantee economy If this is not done our tax burdens will grow until it will take special deputies to hunt down individuals and conscate their property if they have any, to meet the tax bis This IS not an exaggerated picture.
 That the power to tax the power destroy has been already we'll illustrated and taxation today is the great est single item which prevents and will prevent return to pre-War conditions. Inasmuch we have an enorm- ous war tax bill to pay in addition to our other taxes It all the more necessary that reduction in local tax rolls be demanded and secured

Tax Dodging Encouraged

It unfortunate that in order pass what is often meritorous piece of legislation, entrey unfair and unnecessary clause will be inserted, which is direct handicap to existing business.
 The Federal Farm Loan Act offers perfect illustra- tion of such legislation
 The theory of the Act good--namey to furnish encouragement and assistance for farm deveopement But the bonds sold under the Act supply the money loaning made entirely tax exempt. No kind of taxes whatsoever be charged the of the bonds
 This feature of the Act should be remedied as it is unfair to all other lines of industry which compete in the open market for money and whose securities are subject to every known form of taxation
 If Federal Farm Loan Bonds taxed the same as other bonds it would not interfere with working of the Act and the farmers would still secure money under the favorable terms of the Act
 Taxation of these bonds would, however prevent hundreds of millions of dollars being withdrawn from the balance of the public to make up in taxation what they should be paying.

Dispensing With Newspapers

There is power at work that is helping to kill off the country and that the moving picture theatre
 In many of the country towns the movie drop curtain has greater income each week from merchants than the newspaper.
 In political campaigns it is absorbing large shares of the campaign funds of candidates and parties and meas ures.
 The small amount spent for advertising it's shows in the country weekles does not compensate for what 1t takes away.
 The movie is becoming the rival power that can get publicity for itself without using the newspaper and can exist without them.
 That is it's boast But there fly in the ointment. There are more bills in the legislatures to regulate movies than ever before.
 They are accused by the pulpit of causing the wave of crime and hodups that has swept the country from Maine to San Diego.

Chaos Would Result

The public schools take vacation of three months every year and nothing happens.
 The police force and fire department go on their an nua picnics and balls and things along as usual
 The city paving isn't improved over long periods or the public library may close the public parks allowed to go to ruin and the public isn't injured.
 But let the electric lights go out for few hours and there actual suffering and much crime Let the water works stop and soon there are parched tongues and dis Let the telephone suspend and there is chaos and loss of business Let transportation in city stop and thousands thrown out of work and the hardship n tense Turn out the gas and go back fifty years in civilization.

MRS. SOUTHARD
FOUND GUILTY
CASE ENDS WITH CONVICTION OF
IDAHO WOMAN FOR MURDER
IN SECOND DEGREE.
JURY out % HOURS
PENALTY is NOT LESS THAN TEN
YEARS; DEFENDANT SHOWS
NO EMOTION.
twsstsrn Newspaper Union New, ser,ice.)

Twin Falls, Idaho.-Mrs. LYDIA Mey-
er Southard was declared guilty of sec
ond degree murder of Edward H.
Meyer, her fourth husband, by jury
in District Court here. The verdict,
which was returned after twenty-three
hours deliberation, carries a penalty
of not less than ten years imprisOn-
ment
The defendant showed no sign of
feeling and did not raise her eyes from
the floor when the verdict was an
nounced.
The trial of LYDIA Meyer Southard
on the charge of causing the death of
her fourth husband, Edward f. Meyer,
foreman of the Blue Lakes ranch, Twin
Falls, by administration of poison, said
to have been derived from poisonous
insect exterminator, was opened in
the District Court, Judge w. A. Bah
cock presiding, on Sept. 2G.
Counsel for the prosecution con-
sisted of Frank L. Stephan, Twin
Falls county attorney; Roy l.. Black,
states attorney general, and E. A.
Walters, former District Court judge.
For the defense w. P. Guthrie, Homer
c. Mills and A. Il. Hicks appeared.
Because of the extended notoriety
given the case difficulty was encoun-
tered in impaneling a jury, this func-
tion consuming a weeks time. In
that period three special venires were
drawn, each of forty names. The first
of these was dismissed because of in
eligibility of Sheriff e. r. Sherman to
act as summoning officer. w. G.
Thompson was selected by the court as
elisor, the two venires being brought
into court by that officer.
In addition to these eighty venire-
men, the original panel consisted of
seventy-five men. Practically the en-
tire total of 155 names was exhausted
before the completion of the jury.
Witnesses were called from Mis-
souri,, Montana, Tennessee and Cali
fornia. In all 182 witnesses were
named to appear on both sides, but
not all were called to the stand. The
state listed 142 witnesses on the in
dictment, while the defense named
about forty. Hypothetical questions,
together with clinical discussions, con-
sumed the greater portion of the five
weeks devoted to the murder trial.
Many physicians, chemists and similar
professionals were called upon to give
testimony as expert witnesses.

suddenly falls In giving you the usual
pail of milk in the morning, it is time
to look around for the cause. This Is
just what happened with a Hunting

His COW was a good producer, but
one morning when he went out he
found that for some reason the supply
was not as good as usual. The eve
nings milking showed the usual re-
turns, but the following morning he
was again short.
Not being satisfied that "all was well
In Denmark" he appeared on the
scene considerably earlier the follow
ing morning, and found his own dog,
standing under the cow, enjoying a
feast. Needless to say, the dog was
fastened at night thereafter.

OLDEST GHOST
ABOUT TO STIR
Every Twelve Years Since Span
ish Invasion Body Of Mur-
dered Priest Appears.
WON'T STAY INFERRED
Spaniard Killed by Indians In New
Mexico Who Feared He Would
Betray Them to Spanish
Invaders.

Isleta, N. M.-Here reposes at pres
ent the oldest and most persistent
ghost in America This might be in
scribed in the little adobe church
here.
Long ago, at the time of the first
Spanish invasions of southwestern
America, a Spanish friar was cap
tured by the Indians. Although kept
as a prisoner for time, he later won
their confidence and as years went
by was admitted to their peculiar re-
lIgious and political circles.
At last the rumor reached the tribe
Of the advance of Coronado In search
Of treasure The Indians feared
treachery on the part of their Span
ish friend and one night he was
stabbed to death by one of the more
skeptical members of the tribe.
The medicine men were Mortified at
the crime, for not only had they come
to respect the Spaniard's Christian
teachings, but had made him a par
ticipator in their own religion. And
above all, they knew what might be
expected of enraged Spaniards If they
should discover the crime.
Buried Near Altar.
The priests body was hastily
wrapped In sheet and without any
prayer or ceremony buried deep in
front Of the altar in the little Chris
tian church in Isleta.
Coronado's men never learned of
the crime, but few years later Pc
culiar mound appeared in front Of the
altar in the little church. The horri-
fed natives observed the mound was
exactly the length and width of
mans body. Soon the hard earth floor
cracked and one morning, just II
years after the burial of the priest,
his body was discovered lying face up
ward above the spot where he had
been buried.
On examination it was found that
the body was soft, as though the

a mile from the cave entrance, deep
in the bowels of the earth. An at
tempt was made by park rangers to
pull him through the hole, but his cries
were so terrifying as the sharp stall
actites scarified the skin of his lower
waist that his would-be rescuers were
forced to desist.
'The superintendent was notified of
Browns condition, and personally WIS.,
tied the cave. After thorough exam
ination 1t was determined that 1t
would either be necessary to blast him
out with T. N. T. or starve him until
his waist measurement was reduced
sufficiently to enable his passage
through Hell's Crack.
Despite the indignation Of other
visitors, who were barred from the
beauties of Organ Loft. the Frozen
Cascade, the Marble Chamber, etc., by
the rear portion of Brown, 1t was
thought better not to blast him out,
as undoubtedly some injury would re-
suit to the delicate formation Of the
cave.
"By the end Of the third day his
waist measurement was reduced IAN
inches, and one final pull by two park
rangers brought him through the hole
minus his pants and some skin.
"All prospective visitors to the Crys-
tai Cave are now measured at the Ad-
ministration building at Giant Forest,
and those whose waist measurements
are over 32A inches are debarred from
the crystalline marvels Of Americas
most beautiful cavern"

This went on every 12 years until

the archbishop of Santa Fe and WIS.,

came and a paper was signed to the

of the church, was laid and nailed

SAVE CORN FOR EXTRA SEED
Excellent Plan to Select Enough to
! Serve for Two or Three Years
Paintings.

When corn iS selected from the field
for seed. the United States Department
Of Agriculture urges that enough seed
be selected to serve for two or three
years paintings. This Is essential In
the origination and perpetuation Of
high-yielding varieties adapted to local
conditions. Seed corn that natures
well and dries out promptly without
injury will keep its good terminating
and yielding power for four or five
years. Often bad season will pre-
vent the selection Of desirable corn for
seed. But homegrown seed corn Of
the best quality can be always avail
able by protecting sufficient quantity
from moisture and from insects and
other animals.
