The taxpayer Is next Of kin to the
treasury. At any rate he is the FIRST
person notified when the treasury
needs money. and he always has to dig
down into his jeans for whatever il
needed. Taxpaying, even more than
charity, begins at home. The boys

only thing that can be done for him Is
to disclose as wildly A. possible how
much his government 10 costing and
let him decide what he will do about
It. It all comes down to this: The
more money the government spends
through defective organization or ex.
travagance, the less you have to spend
or save.
So much for the cost OF the national
business we support. We are all mi

no other source Of revenue than our

money. In times like these, when al
most everybody feels that he gets too
little for what he sells and has to pay
too much for what he buys. 1t seems

lar regularity, but the same form OF
procedure is in vogue today as when
man first recognized law as means
of settling disputes between man anu
man, or persons charged with crime
were first given chance Tor their
life through the means of submitting
testimony. Progress and improvement
have marked the means of procedure
or the way of doing things in every
other walk of life. but the musty'
dusty wheels of justice turn in this
age of electricity as they did in the
age when music alone was depended
upon in keeping the wheels revolving.
1t is merciful that the goddess OF JUS
tice is depicted as blindfOlded as she
would be knocked blind in earnest II
she was called upon to look upon the
methods too often used to circumvent
justice.
In the case at bar, around which We
have woven much persiflage, it was
amusing to listen to the verbal fenc-
ing, that always lends some interest
to the driest cases before a court.
Lawyers must bless the man who
first invented that ready protest that
flows so glibly from the lips of every
practitioner who has the good fortune
to enjoy clientle, Il protest on the
ground that the question Is improper,
irrelevent and immaterial" No mat
ter how proper, how relevent, how
material the question may be that
same objection is always made, and
from the fact that the court denies
the objection more frequently, than
the objection is sustained is evidence
that the practice has grown upon the
lawyers like a bad habit, and is used
indiscriminately through fear that
some advantage might be overlooked
that would benefit client. The
prosecutor with an extended index
finger as though he was about to jab
the question down the throat of the
wriggling witness would fire his in
terrogatiOn with raucous voice, and
instantly the alarmed attorney for
the defense would squeal out i'm
proper, irrelevent and immaterial."
On the other hand the defending cOun-
| Gil promenaded up and down before
the jury, asking questions that prom
ised to strengthen the case for his
client and if answered favorably
would exclaim "ah," or wag his head
as much as to say: Gentlemen, Of the
jury, here is man being prosecuted
You see my Client is as innocent as
the babe unborn. The answer just elic-
tied from the witness shows that
there is no foundation OF fact upon
which the accused can be found gull
ty" and SO on ad infinitum.
This court case was worked up for
the purpose of pointing moral and
adjoining a tale. The tale has been
told in rambling and round about
way. The moral is, keep out of court
Shun litigation as you would a pest
/ house, and so watch your step that
you are not led in the way OF the
| transgressOr. If men and women were
more prone to practice the Golden
Rule, and preach and practice honesty
as the best policy there would be
fewer courts and neighbors would live
in more amicable relations with each
other II might be tough on the law.

tie difficulty in applying his talents
in some other activities OF life where
possibly he would succeed far better
from financial point of view.

Following the Supreme Courts

Up to the present the average bonus

KEEP EYE on THIS VALLEY.

Dan j. Rice, who has been located at
Oroville, Butte county, California, has
recently removed to Hurleton in the
some county. Writing to give the Ga

1t will freeze again tonight Southern
California suffered badly from the re-
cent freeze, as their oranges were just
about all on the trees, while those in
the Oroville section and the Tulare
county section were about all picked
before January.

on Okanogan Valley and Oroville,
Washington.
Millions of acres here in the noun
tains are adapted to apples. pears,
peaches and cherries, but the future
water system will have to be enlarged
as the present bitches do not carry
enough to supply the old timers. So
what is the use of buying land and no
water? But the soil is here in the
mountains, rich, red loan from the old
river channels and it will grow any
thing. There is water aplenty in the
mountain streams but big corporations
control the streams.

PUREBREDS REDUCE COST.
Breeder Saves on Years Feed Bill and
Care by Using u Good Sire.


Saving years feed bill and care,
was what j. w. Mcclure accomplished
oy using a pure bred sire instead Of a
scrub on his herd of grade Shorthorn
beef cows. Mr.. Mcclure is a ShOrthOrn
breeder in Tenino, Washington, and
runs a grade herd of beef cattle along
with his purebreds. To test the differ
ence between the use of purebred
sire and a scrub sire, on grade cows,
ne tried both and found a saving of
a years feed and time.
"One of the biggest factors in rails
ing cattle is a good purebred sire, y
says Mr.. Mcclure. "In my experience
with the first crop of calves from q
good sire, | saved twelve months OF
feeding and care. sold my first cross
from fairly good cows at two years OF
age, at which age they made the same
weight as. the three year Olds from a
grade bull In other words. on the 49,
calves which | have raised | have saw
ed a year of feed and care, or some
what over one-third of the cost of
production"
Through the use of good, purebred
sires.' comments &. NJ. Hubbard, ex-
tension live stock specialist OF the
state College, the carrying capacity
of Mr. McGuire's farm was increased.
rhe same amount of feed took care
of more cattle and these cattle made a
greater daily gain. 1t also could be
added, that these same steers sold for
higher price per pound. because OF
the fact that they would dress a
greater percent of edible meat. There
would also be found a greater proper
ton Of the carcass in the higher
priced cuts"

THE BURDEN OF TAKES

Before the war the government, o.
the United States spent about one Dill
lion dollars year for all purposes
Including interest on the public debt.
10 the fiscal year ending June 10. 1871.
the first full fiscal year after nghunS
stopped, the government spent IN
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiscal year iS.i'
that 10, up to June 30. 1921. it spent
s5,115,927, $3.50, and in the fiscal year
Of 1922. which will end on June ~
1922. it will spend more than four hi'-
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon Of
the Treasury Department.
These figures include interest ON the
public debt which amounts TO about
one billion dollars, but include moth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re-
dempti0n. Including both Interest aud
sinking fund, the government viii
spend more than four times as much
the fiscal year 1922 as it spent yearly
before the war.

charges are q part 1T the prioe OF VIC
