A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
NEEDED

Taxpayers and public Officials
should have a more common under
standing of each others problems.
This condition was illustrated at the
adjourned meeting of the Board OF
County Commissioners Monday. Some
fifteen taxpayers were interviewing the
Commissioners relative to reduction
and equalization of taxes. There was
a spirit of antagonism present that was
not conducive to the best of feeling
and the best of results.
The taxpayers should be able to go
10 any official and any commissioner
and get a thoroughly frank and cour-
teous answer to any question or ques-
tons he might ask.
The official should be given the same
respect and consideration from the
taxpayer. Perhaps both are partly to
blame for this condition. 1t was quite
evident Monday that baseless rumors
had been circulated concerning the
county commissioners and county audi
tor as we'll as other county officials.
Like most rumors they were untrue,
and it peeved the county officials. They
naturally resented the circulation of
the umors.
This peeved state of mind of the
SOuhLy OlIlCldlS SlSUCly OuS Tie
ire of the taxpayers who had come TO
interview the officials on matters of
Importance and matters concerning
which they had a right to ask ques-
tons. While the result of the meeting
was wholesome and enlightening to
both sides, it is questionable if the
greatest amount of good was accom-
plished.
Taxpayers and citizens should be
more guarded in their statements un-
less based on accurate knowledge. Of
ficials should adapt themselves better
to the circumstances and viewpoint of
the taxpayers. In other words there
should be greater tolerance shown on
both sides regardless of the rights.

WHO RULES THE
HOMER

An immigrant recently came to
America riding first class, his wife
confined to the steerage. TIE. e. S.
Immigration officers noted this cir
cumstance and severely reprirlan led
the new friend from southern Europe.
In Amerfca-he advised-men treat
their wives with greatly increased re-
spect and equality,
All of which leads a great many
editors to remark that the relation of
husband and wife in America has pas
sed the equality state and progressed
to the leadership of the woman in the
home. The average hubby" today
obeys his wife promptly as did the
woman obey her husband in the mid
die ages, is the plea. The only thing
he is permitted to do with freedom 10
any degree, is manage his own bust
ness. Outside of business hours he is
merely an errand boy. He stays home
with the children, gets breakfast,
washes the supper dishes, goes to the
bridge party or the dance or calling,
just as his wife has planned. At the
call of his spouse at all times, he
shines her shoes, holds her coat, greets
her at the door with a kiss, puts away
her top coats and when the time comes
tucks her in bed.
There are differences of opinion of
course, but our opinion is that man and
woman are on a more nearly equal
footing than they have ever been be-
fore. The man in the home is not
abused or made a valet of as suggest
ed. He is often perfectly willing to be
/ relieved of most of the responsibility
of domesticity and rather prides him
self on having a wife who at least
thinks she is the boss. What is your
opinion?

Ing out Of differences between tho Som
ate and House IN conference will be
such a slow and tedious process that
1t cannot be completed before Congress
goes homo for the fall campaign.
Some Dem ooratic leaders express the
belief that the House, It's membership
having got in direct touch with the
people during its present recess, will
balk at some Of what the minority have
lnsfsted are high duties In the bill.
Those leaders think that when the mea-
sure goes to conference. the House will
reserve the right Of separate votes on a
number Of questions thus slowing up
final agreement. Republican leaders
however, do not place much, II any
faith IN tho beliefs Of their Democratic
colleagues on this point.
The move from tho Democratic side

charges that some Senators are financi-
