AS Christmas comes but once year
Each heart should fill with thanks and cheer
For on that day our Lord was born
In Bethlehem one rosy morn.
This is a day we're glad to see,
1t always brings sweet memory,
To know that Christ was born to save
Mankind from sin and the dark grave.
The old year is almost gone
The new year will begin ere long.
Forget your griefs, drive cares away,
Be hopeful of brighter day. 81

But on them gifts of love bestow,
May in our hearts this gay Yuetide

Laying aside all arguments and pre-
JUDGES for or against any candidate,
the people have shown Enthusiastically
that they wish reduction in present tax
burdens. 1t is useless to tell the peo-
pie that they are to blame for present
state expenses. They may have voted
for the tax raising measures but in
nine cases out of ten the average citi-

cumbents in office who failed to re-
cognize this condition have been de-

Candidates who have gone into Of

Every line of private business has
reduced expenses. Every department

curtailing efficiency. 1t simply means

In order to satisfy all factions in

gress would pass without opposition
the soldiers bonus, cancel the foreign
debt, establish free trade and sub
stantially reduce taxation.
Just how Congress would do the
first three and then accomplish the
fourth problem has never been stated.
The fact that the passage Of the first
three measures would increase our an
nual national expenditures by billions
of dollars, apparently Is not given 4
thought by the advocates of these
measures who in the next breath de-
mand that there be an immediate re-
duction in taxation.
