HIGHWAY EXPENDITURES.

According to figures of the Wisconsin
County Boards Association the total
highway expenditures in the State in
1922, for State, County, and Township.
will amout to $37, 10000 OF this
amount said association reports that
$4,000, 900 is paid by motor vehicle
owners, SO, $50, 900 from indirect taxes,
wiSile the balance, around $50, 900, 900,
iss,Raid by taxes on real estate and
perJonal property.
The association claims that this dis
tribution of the cost of road improve
ment is inequitabIe and unjust; that
the motor vehicles, now paying about
10 per cent, should foot about one-third
the bill at least There is little room
for doubt but what substantial ma
jority of the taxpayers agree with the
association. They who dance should
pay the fiddler.

TWO VERDICTS.

She was a woman, worn and thin,
Whom the world condemned for sin
gle sin.
They cast her out on the king's highway
And passed her by as they went to pray.
He was man and more to blame,
But the world spared him breath of
shame.
Under his feet he saw her lie,
But raised his head and passed her by.
They were the people who went to pray
AT the Temple of God holy day
They scorned the woman, forgave the
man
1t was ever such since the world began.
Time passed on, the woman died.
On the cross Of shame she was cruciied.
But the world was firm and would not
yield.
SO they buried her in the potter's field
The man died too, and they buried him
In a casket of cloth, with silver rim,
And said, as they turned from his grave
away /:
"We have buried an honest man today
Two mortals knocking at Heavens gate.
Stood face to face to inquire their fate.
He carried passport with earthly sign.
And she pardon from Love Divine.
0 ye who judge twixt virtue and vice.
Which, think you, entered to Paradise ?
Not he whom the world had said would
win,
For the woman alone was ushered in

The editor dosen't want anyone to
send him any more copies of his paper
in which they find mistakes, says an
exchange. If they find it a perfect
copy, however, he will pay big price
for it. If the fool critic who hunts
for mistakes in newspaper would find
them all, he would be kept busy. We
will be pleased to buy copies of any
paper which can be proven entirely
free from errors, either topographic
ally or in statement or fact We will
be pledged to find merchant who
never made mistake in putting up an
order: lawyer who never lost case
through his own errors; doctor who
never wrongly diagnosed a case; a
druggist who never made mistake; a
postoffiee official who never put mail
in the wrong box; a woman who never
forgot to put salt in while cooking or
tea in the teapot before putting in

Postal Employees May Enjoy Local and
State Holidays

A sweeping order giving postmasters
in every town and city in the country
authority to release postal workers
from their duties in case Of total or
partial suspension of business in their
particular communities on account of
local or state holidays has been issued
by Postmaster General Work.
The order is unprecedented in the
history of the Post Office department.
At present only national holidays are
observed throughout the postal system
of the United States. In case of state
or local holidays, which sometimes run
as high as fifteen and twenty year,
postal employees have been compelled
to remain at their places Of work
although little or no service is required
/ of them. The new order eliminates
| the unnecessary detention of workers
when stores and business houses are
closed for these occasions and business
is suspended in their communities.
Thousands of postal employees are
expected to be released from theix
duties upon various days during the
year as a result Of the order

Prosecutor Believes All
Has No tYet Been
Told
BECK. BEL CT SHOT FROMB BEHIND
Believed Day Saw Some
TIL CsA TT.
Believed Day Saw Some
thing That Swept Him
Off His Feet
(By Associated Press)

| Oklahoma City, April 8-Pleading
the stern code of Oklahoma, the "un-
written law" Jean P. Day prepared
to go before a cornoner's jury here
today and seek to be judicially absolv-
ed of the killing of Lieut.. Col. Paul
Ward Beck on the ground that he slew
in self-defense while attempting to
keep inviolate the sanctity of his
home.
Six men, sitting as the jury, will
hear this afternoon from the lips of
Day, wealthy attorney and oil man,
and from his wife their sworn stories
of the Staying. And upon their testi-
mony, and other evidence brought out
will be assigned the responsibility in
the tragedy.
For Col. Beck there will be none
apparently to speak his testimony of
what transpired at the Day home
when he was slain. Day and his wife
are the only known witnesses. There
will be present his comrades, though,
who declare they knew him as gen.
tleman, his superiors and subordi-
mates, who testify to his clean repu-
tation, gallantry in the air and his re-
spect for women.
County Attorney Forrest Hughes
has stated his belief that Mr.. Day
thus far has not told all the truth
and that Day killed Beck after seeing
Something that swept him off his
feet"-a thing upon which any "red
blooded jury would vote an acquittal."
A handkerchief in the clutched
hand of the dead aviator, indicates
that Beck had not been shot from the
front, as Day alleges; the reported
exclamation of Mrs. Day "Oh, my
honor" shortly after the Staying, were
points the county attorney declared
he wanted explained.
An army board of inquiry from
Fort Sill was to attend the inquest.
Eight airplanes Were tuned up at
post field early this morning to carry
the board members and other officers
to Oklahoma City. Among them,
Lieut.. Paul Ward Beck, son of the
slain officer, Lieut.. John Beck, ne
phew, and Major R. B. Paddock, who |
Lieut.. Col. Beck to Ok
lahoma City last Monday.
Prominent local business men, all |
of Day, make up the /
coroner's jury.
