The Republican clairl of great

in taxes through lowering of the tax
rate by the special session of the leg
islature and thereby saving the people
heavy burden, will scarcely bear
scrutiny. It is true the tax rate was
lowered at that session. but only after
it had been placed unconscionably high
at the regular segsion-so high that
"the boys, VIXEN they returned home
after the regular, session closed and
heard from their constituents at first

strict reckoning with their party were
it allowed to stand. Consequently it
was lowered-but at that it stands
considerably higher than formerly
and the people will feel the difference
in no small degree when they go to
pay this years taxes. 1t makes a
good talking point, of course, until
the statement is. looked into a bit
critically, and then it is easy to see
that there is no real reduction, but on
the other hand, heavy increase in
the aggregate tax to be paid.

DRIFTING

I'm in the boat with Farmer Bill,
Who of "normalcy" has his fill.
His hogs bring ten cents now on feet
l still pay forty for my meat;
Bill does not get as much by half
AS he once did for calf,
Yet I'm supposed not to "squeal"
When pay sixty cents for veal.
And here's another margin wide,
Bill gets six cents per for it's hide.
His gain is nil, l, too, must lose,
l still must pay eight bucks for shoes.
Last spring Bills flock of "yaller legs"
Were laying him eighteen-cent eggs,
They were gobbled up by the Combine,
I now. pay thirty-eight for mine.
And since the Denis have met defeat
Bill almost has that dollar wheat,
But if my kiddies shall be fed
| still must pay eight cents for bread.
Bill wears look that's most forlorn
When offered fifty cents for corn.
The short crop and the price of oats
Has almost "got the farmers goats.
While riding this good ship of state
It's call halt or drift to fate.
But every member of the Grange
That voted last fall for change"
Admits he made four times the dough
When at the helm sat Woodrow.

Spending a Real Vacation.

Peter Magee, who returned TO
his old home town last week, is
having the time of his life.
Visiting with his cronies of his
younger days, visiting the scenes
where as a school kid he and his
chums fished, shared rabbits and
did the hundred and one things
which the average American lad
usually does when filled with an
overabundance of youthful pep.
Peter will certainly fill his vaca-
ton period to the brim. This
week he is on a hike up the Deer
skin with a couple of youthful
companions and intends spending
the time in that section. He
came here last week from Aver,
Massachusetts,, where he is chauf-
feur for Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Wicher, prominent residents of
that Massachusetts, city.

Jackson Bennett is after the
motorist who does not obey the
rules of the road while driving in
the village limits. His appoint

That a speed cop has been badly

number of accidents which have
occurred in the village.

Than Two Years Ago.

NEW YORK. June 22.-Jack

Take the word of Jack Kearns for
this. The manager OF the worlds

today, says Dempsey was never In
better physical form.
Jack will surprise evrybody,"
/ Kearns declared today. He has
surprised me and that's going some.
He is or will be better than he
was against willard at Toledo two
years ago.
''For one thing Jack Is much
better boxer than he used to be. He
has found out just what his left
hand is for and how many things
he can do with IT. Now mind, he's
always had aleft hand, but he never
used it the way he does now.
Jack is bit bigger than he was
two years ago. He has filled out
and he is better OFF for 1t. The
etxra weight hasn't slowed him
down at all and to my notion he is
faster on his feet than ever before.
when Jack steps to the mark
with Carpenter at Jersey City you
J win see him the greatest and most
nnely conditioned worlds champion
who has ever stood In shoe leather.
And If Carpenter defeats him he
will perform a miracle to my way Of
thinking"
Asked how Dempsey sizes up the
coming scrap. Kesrns said:
+He never Worries You know he's
a happy sort of chap and II is
seldom that we talk seriously of
the coming hght Naturally Jack
