sin Tuesday, by the slight majority
of about four or five to one. The peo-
pie, you see, have got themselves into
a terrible muss, or have delivered
themselves from one, or maybe they
have done both, according to how you
look at it.
Anyhow, whichever way you exam
inc the results and the situation gen
orally, the voters, as usual, have met
the crisis which is always impending,
and have demanded a change. The
usual discomfort seems to be worse
than usual this season. Folks seem
to feel that Mr.. Harding's administra-
ton has done rather less than they
wished it would. So Wisconsin is
sending back to Washington the men
they think will hinder him the least,
if he ever should undertake to do
some thing for them.
The people may be fooled again this
time, as they have habit of being.
But it's my private opinion that there
was less talking and more thinking
done during the campaign that has
just drawn to close than in any form
er one. The voters have been trying
to form the habit of thinking. That's
hard habit to form, Jerry, and you
know it. And mistakes are apt to be
made in procticing new habit like
that. But it's clear majority that
did it this time and the majority runs
things. If calamity comes during
the next two years, an | amt sayin'
it won't, then the majority is to blame
and they'll have to stand it along
with the rest of US. It'll only go to
show what always happens when folks
try to bust into the thinking business
without much of any previous train
ing.
But if on the other hand, things
should happen to better, as they show
signs of doing, then the majority
deserves the credit, and the only thing
to hope for after that is that they will
keep on practicing at this thinking
game until they get it down fine.
| tell you, Jerry there's more than
just the slot in the ballot box that
makes it resemble the old-time gamb-

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
PREP START
Declining Death Rate From Tubercu-
losis Gives New Enthusiasm
For Work.
Volunteers Lining Up.

Arrangements are now underway
for the 1922 Christmas seal campaign
the combined educational and financial
effort to combat tuberculosis, and with
enthusiasm running high on all sides
over the declining death rate from
this disease in Wisconsin, indications
are that this will be record break
ing sale. Selection and appointment
of the large army Of volunteer work
ers throughout the state who year
ly give their services for this cause
and manage the sale in the various
localities, has already begun. The
sale will open as usual on Thanksgiv-
ing day and will continue until Christ
mas.
With statistics showing that an ac-
tual saving of a least 859 lives was
made in 1921 as a result of cutting
down the tuberculosis death rate year
by year, the results of the Wisconsin
tuberculosis Associations ag-
gressive campaign are most encourag-
ing, and hold promise that a complete
victory over the White Plague is draw
ing near. When the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association was organ
lied in 1903 the death rate from tu-
berculosis was 1877 per 100000. This
has been steadily decreased and in
1921, the death rate was 74.6 The
placing of the lives saved during 1921
at $50 is considered a most conser-
vative estimate and is based on the
fact that if the 1908 death rate of
1877 had prevailed in 1921, instead
of 74.6 there would have been 1853
deaths from this disease in the state
instead of the 1884 which actually
occurred. If the death rate had
kept on climbing as it had been do
ing for several years before it was
checked, the number of deaths in 1921
would have been even larger than that
given by using the 1908 death rate.
Since the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association started it's campaign
in the state, remarkable progress has
been made as a direct result of the
Christmas seal sale not only in the
specific campaign against tuberculosis,
but in public health work in general.
This educational campaign has been
instrumental in bringing about many
public health movements of incaluc-
able benefit to all, including the estab-
lishnent of the county sanatoria for
the treatment of the Tuberculosis; the
public health nurse, the open air
school, medical supervision in schools,
free chest clinics and many other fore
es for the promotion and protection
of health.
Wisconsin has won reputation as
a leader in tuberculosis work in the
United States. Ranking foudteenth
on the list of states in it's per capita
sale of seals last year, and second a
mong the states of the Mississippi
valley, it is starting this sale with
a determination to win a better rec
ord and to also lead in the sale of the
CHEEKY little Christmas stickers which
have brought a message of hope and
health into thousands of homes all
over the country

THE FIGHT FOR TAX
REDUCTION

The lumber industry of the North
west is leading in a movement for
tax reduction. 1t is presenting the
facts as they affect the operation of
an industry that employs tens of
thousands of workmne and pays
millions in taxes.
The lumbermen are not asking
exemption from taxation but they
are pointing out the fact that confis-
catory tax burdens are preventing
the investment of capital in produc-
tive enterprise.
As a remedy they do not adyo-
cate any radical measure or the do
ing away with our congratulated
system of a general property tax.
They emphasize, however, the neces-
sity for reducing the number of tax
levying bodies which now exist in
every city, county and state. They
advocate the cutting out of dupli-
cation and waste in our school sys-
TEN and in the administration of
public affairs generally, and re-
trenchment right down the line.
A climb from s37,446,7S5.05 tax
in 1916 to s72,665,S20.11 in 1920
for the state of Washington is out Of
all proportins to what industry can
hope to earn under normal condi-
tions. Washington is typical of other
western states. Every citizen should
join in the drive for less need OF
revenue rather than for more reye-
nue.. New forms of taxation or new
sources to tax will not help the sit
uation unless ways are provided for
corresponding decreases in other
tax demands.
Taxation is reaching the point of
confiscation. Retrenchment in gov
eminent expenditures must be made
if productive enterprise secures cap
ital for growth, development and the
employment of labor in any industry.

Roosevelt On Home Town Paper

Roosevelt On home IOWu fdperb.
in going through a bundle of old
exchanges the other day, a New
York country editor came across an
article by Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt, n the place of greeting to the
new publisher of the Post.
When all is said and done, in this
world it is those things which are
mostly associated with US in our
everyday life which have the domi-
mating influence. 1t is the family
life which makes the man or woman,
and it is the community life which
makes the nation. The great dailies
of the big centers of population of a
necessity cannot keep the close per-
sonal touch with the everyday people
who form their readers that it is pos
sible for the coutry paper to keep.
The editor of the country paper
knows by name all the men and wo-
men OF the community to which he
speaks. They all know him and
therefore everything that is printed
has a double significance. The in
dividual is apt to distrust the state
ments of the big daily, but instinc-
tiveness1hek atyhfoht Tor e onitg-
lively he believes those of his own
local paper.
The country newspaper has the
opportunity of mixing in every ac-
tivity in the community. 1t can in
fulence the attitude of thought to-
ward all new movements and i'm
pulses that are growing in COM
munity life. 1t can, at election,
translate the great problems that are
presented to the electors in the
terms which will bring them clearly
before the mind of the average in
dividual. 1t should be remembered
that on account of the trust that is
placed in it, it is doubly incumbent
on it to act fairly and squarely In
all matters.

BANKS CARRYING LOAD.

j. X. Mccormack, President,
Union Securities Co., Spokane, in
an address before the Grain Grow
ers, Millers and Shippers Assn. in
convention in Spokane, stated a
basic truth when he std that the
farmers do not need more money
from the banks to go deeper into
det but better prices for many of the
things they have to sell and lower
prices for things they must buy.
Mr. Mccormack, whose company
operates "a banks in inland Empire
communities and who has been in
close touch with country banks and
wheat growing for 35 years, said:
"a well run safe and conservative
bank is blessing to any community
and everyone in It, while a poorly
run, efficient, selfeish, overexpand-
ed bank which encourages speculat
ion and overexpension in its COM
munity is menace and injury to
evryone."

other trouble with my kidneys for
several years. 1t was hard to bend
over or to get up from chair. There
was always feeling of lameness
and soreness across my kidneys and
a dull, throbbing ache in my back
