Mrs. D. M. Dixon, who was called
to Defiance, o., two weeks ago fol-
lowing the announcement of the sud
den death of her brother law, Rev.
Mr. Hendrickson, has returned to her
home here. The cause of Mr.. Hen
drickson's death was the result of a
sunstroke which he suffered while on
a motor trip through Michigan. Fol.
lowing his illness he was hurriedly
taken to his home but death ensued
a few minutes after his arrival there.
Mr.. E. W. Kelso, who accompanied
Mrs. Dixon to Defiance, will likely re-
main in that city with his daughter
until some time in October.
Mr.. George Butt, until recently en-
gagged in operating the Turner-D Doug
las mine south of Oakland, his lease
on the property having expired on the
first instant, went to Clarksburg on
Tuesday in company with Mr.. Henry
Hanst, where it is probable Mr. Butt
will take charge of another going
mine property. The Turner-Douglas
mine has been purchased by the Ken
dali Lumber Company and associated
interests and is being operated by
the new management. The output of
this mine has been from five to six
cars each day, but the new company
will endeavor to increase the tonnage
to twice or three times as much with
in the next few weeks.
The Republican acknowledges an
invitation to be present at the basket
picnic and reunion of the former pu.
pills of D. w. Snyder, which is to be
held at Union Grove, five miles north
of Cumberland on Saturday, Sept. 90.
Mr.. Snyder was an instructor in the
public schools of the county many
years ago, but later gave this line of
endeavor up and entered the news
paper business in Cumberland. He
has a large acquaintance in Garrett
county and some former pupils. The
latter as well as old teachers are in
vited to attend the reunion. Convey
ances will be furnished from Cumber-
land to carry his guests to the picnic
grounds.

It has been the general impression
among not only voters of the county,
but also by the officials having charge
of the registration and election affairs
that a new general registration of
voters would be made this fall. To
clear the matter up Attorney General
Armstrong was consulted on Satur-
day last by President J. NJ. Stanton,
of the Supervisors of Elections. In
reply the Attorney General stated
that no provision had been made by
the recent Legislature for a general
registration, hence but two days in
the month of October will be used as
intermediate registration days, due
notice of which will be given by the
election officials of the county. The
old registration books having been
filled in previous years, however, will
require their transcribing into new
books, work upon which will begin as
soon as the supplies are received.

An idea which has occurred to many
minds since the last "harnessihga OF
Niagara falls was clearly put by a
speaker before the Engineers society
Of New York. 1t is that most of the
electric power obtained from the falls
will be used within few miles OF its
place of origin instead of being trans
mitted to distant cities. In other
words, it is believed that at and near
the falls will be situated the future
Industrial center of America. It would
be theoretically possible, 1t is stated,
to transmit power from Niagara as far
as San Francisco, but the cost would
be prohibitive. 1t is much cheaper to
locate factories near the falls.

While the meat packers are groan.
ing their complaints of poor business
to the public, lamb chops are costing
the people 80 cents a pound. Why
cannot the government make real
investigation, stripped of all whole
S a e economic and bewildering
! theories, and let the people know
why the housewife is robbed and who
gets the money If the farmers got
extortionate profit, the news would
be shouted from the housetops, and
the retailers could not long remain
in business in the light of outrageous
Souging. II the packers are not get
ting it then their skirts should be
cleared, because, frankly. the people
believe the meat trust and the meat
trust only is to blame. When the
COW was simply carved into meat and
the rest thrown away, meat could be
had at reasonable prices, but as soon
as soon as more money was made out
of the horns and the hide and the
rest of the trimmings, the price of
meat, instead of falling, began to
rise and it has gone up ever since.
When the supply was excessive, busi-
ness was poor, meat was a drug on
the market, and so profitable prices
simply had to be charged" When a
supposed shortage struck the country,
then prices leaped by reason of the
law of supply and demand. Surely
it is time all of this jugglery was
stopped an1 a few plain understand
able facts were placed before the
people The meat trust should be
fairly dealt by. At present it is re-
garded as the most impudent of busi-
ness malefactors, and it is only fair
that the truth should be, smoked out.

Twice two are four this year
Next year twice two may be five
not likely, of course, but maybe
Twice two will be five as soon as the
people say so. If everybody agrees
then that settles it. We put men tc
death and praise ourselves for doing
it because everybody agrees. We
frame laws that spell the gathering
of great wealth away from the men
who have done what we said they
might do, and we tax the eternal
lights out of them, because every
body agrees Come to think of it,
the people who go into the game Of
inducing people to think their way
will have some accounts to settle
when the time comes if they are not
on the level. Maybe if each of us
was honest with himself everybody
would agree to do the thing that is
right, and then we would have JUS
tice.

Not long ago the Herald called at
tention to the apparent fact that the
people who pay the least in taxes are
usually the ones who do the most
howling about being taxed and cited
the case of a man who does a great
deal of bowling whose total taxes for
state, county and city purposes is far
less than enough to pay the expense
of educating his children; therefore
other taxpayers are helping to edu-
cate his children and he is getting
the benefit of roads and all other
improvements without cost. We had
heard so much bowling by another
man recently that we decided he must
be paying at the very least $1,000 a
wear for roads alone. In order tc
satisfy ourselves, we went to the ta>
books to see just what this man i:
having. AS near as we could deter
mine from the official records all Of
his property in Charlotte county il
assessed at the tremendous sum O
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-05-12

$500, on which he pays the stagger
ing total of $3.50 year in taxes, ol
about 1O1a cents day. OF this
amount $124O is for roads and
bridges. which amounts to about 3 Il
cents a day for roads. For this
amount he gets the benefit of about
12 miles of fairly good road. a con-
siderable portion of which is hardsur-
faced, if he wants to come to town,
il addition to the advantage of a
large drainage ditch, without which,
perhaps, his land would be worth
less. A little investigation almost in
variably shows that the biggest howl
ers are the smallest payers.

First we heard that the towns wei
wouldn't produce more than a spoon
full or so of water a minute; now that
they've been tried and produce 4 s
gallons a minute. or more than the
town uses under ordinary circumstan-
ces, we're likely to hear the water is
unfit to drink, or that the wells were
just playing a little joke and cannot
be depended upon to produce a regu-
lar flow of water; in fact, were like
~ to hear almost anything about
those wells, but the fact remains, and
is evident to everyone who can see.
that the wells are producing, or will
produce if pumped, enough water of
far better quality than we are at
present getting, and the only problem
is to get the water into the mains.
This, Notwithstanding the mountains
that are made out of mole-hills, is
a very simple problem. and it is un-
thinkable that with a supply of good
water available, the people of the
town will be compelled to pay good
money for the kind of water than is
being supplied, which can be used for
but one purpose and is not well suit
ed for that

MILLIONS AND ADVERTISING

Extraordinary precautions are TAX
en- by the police to guard John d.
| Rockefeller, jr., even when he starts
out to attend his famous Bible class.
Indeed every now and then the detec-
tives are compelled to invade the
church to protect the young man from
possible violence. To thousands of
persons the name Rockefeller is in
hammatory. The constructive chari-
ties, the civic helpfulness of this
family are lost to light in the greater
vision of a money grabbing octopus
that for years has been planted in the
back of popular imagination. Truly
the millions of the oil king have
| brought more terror than happiness,
all of which condition is largely due
to the eXclusiveness with which the
elder Rockefeller lived for years. To
the public Rockefeller was not per-
sonality He was an institution He
forbade contact with his fellow be-
ings. His photograph was never
seen. He never spoke to the people
or for the people through the only
means of communication, the news
paper. He held aloOf and became
hated and despised. 1t was not until |
some thoughtful person impressed .
the old man with the value of adver-
tising that the bars were let down
and the people permitted to know
of the Rockefeller life and
activities, and then some of the peo-
pie began to understand. But even
20 the old man started too late ever

,tructive work he may have done.
indeed it is doubtful if his son will
