TAXES AND BUDGETS

One of the oldest and fatal delu-
sions which mankind has suffered
from IS the Theory that the ear -ndi-
L4I~s OF public moneys can be m
creased without increasing the taxes.
We are living in a time wnen we hear
and say a great deal about Budgets
Budget Systems and making the
Budget balance.
In May OF each year it is the duty
of each Board of the local taxing dis
tricts to make up the Budgets of the
various funds to be spread upon the
Duplicate of the County and Collected
as taxes. These Budgets are made up
oy the State Officials, County Com
missioners, Township Trustees, Will
[ age Councils and local School Boards
Nearly 80 per cent of the direct taxes
are voted for by the people or levied
by the local Boards and the balance
or 20 per cent by the County Com
missioners and the State.
Various communities want new
rodas, additions to schools, improve
ments ETC., Numerous parties want in.

the local boards until they are induced
to create and contract to make &
larger Budget expenditures of public
funds that can be raised by taxation
under the present laws.
Alter these Budgets are made W
by the local Boards they are forward

laws have been enacted granting
Boards power to levy taxes and n,

the same. Many Boards make levie
SO large that the combined amount
would necessitate a five or six pc
cent Smith law which has been ruin
ed by Amendments time and again
the present tax rate would be double
in many instances.
Many inquiries have been made a
to the cause of increases in taxation
AS bit of information the following
tabulated statistics have been take

age For State; College
Urges Tests

"If you can't test seed corn for root
rot, test it at least for dead germs.
If your county farm bureau is not
running a community rag-doll incu-
bator to detect both rot and dead
grems, make the old-time tests at
home, and throw out all ears that do
not sprout FIVE out of six grains"
This is tn advice of crops special
lists at the Ohio State University. Re-
ports of tests all over Ohio indicate
that half of the untested seed corn
which will be planted by Ohio farm
ers this spring will not grow.
The old-time termination tests SIM
ply sprouted six grains from each
ear in a wet cloth, or "rag-doll," or in
a box of warm moist sand, and threw
out ears that sprouted feebly. The
new or modified rag-doll" test en-
ables expert observers to detect root
rotted as well as dead grains, but few
farmers are as yet equipped to make
this more delicate test.
The old tests are still well worth
making, it is declared. "They detect
all dead ears, and save lot of tedious
replanting, always largely useless
Also, the old tests are accurate
enough to show up extreme infection
of root rot, infection so serious that
the grain Sprouts feebly or not at all
Anybody can make the plain "rag.
doll" or "sand-box" termination
tests, it is stated, and most farmers
know how it is done without being
told. A pamphlet giving full direc.
tions will be sent anyone unfamiliar
with the process who writes to the
department of agricultural publica
tions at the University.

PRESENT SYSTEM
Judge Weeks Believes 1t Sufficient To
Favor Continuance of Parole
Policy In Vermont

Judge Weeks, of this place, director
of State institutions, commenting in
Montpelier or an article in the Rut-
land Herald, relative to the State pol
icy in prison management said:
81 feel and know from a personal
knowledge that the inmates go out
from the institution feeling that they
have had a square deal with the adj
ministration and by reason OF this re-
ceive a new light and, in majority of
cases. desire to live better lives"
Director Weeks says that any inquiry
made as to the effect of the prison
policy can be best answered by the
records kept at the institution.
Commencing with the administration
of Gov. Allen NJ Fletcher in 1913 and
following through three successive ad-
minstrations, Director Weeks says
there have been 1888 prisoners released.
He claSsifies this number as follows
In 19l3-l4 there were returned on
breach of parole l6 persons; in the
same period there were six persons re-
turned on new sentence; in l9l5-l6 the
number returned on breach OF parole
was % and on new sentence nine. In
1918 there were 16 returned on
breach of parole and eight on new SEN
tence. In the period of 1920 the
number returned on breach of parole
was 80 and on new sentence II.
Commenting upon the last period
mentioned, Director Weeks says: "The
administration of 1920 of course,
does not compare favorably with the
other administrations, as it includes
the state prison and house OF correc-
tom
Judge Weeks says of the entire num-
Der of prisoners released only frac-
ton of 10 per cent have been return
ed to the states prison and of this
percentage 9S per cent went back be-
cause of breach of parole and 3.9 per
cent on new sentence.
The director says mo information
is on record regarding incarceration
in another state 1t is, however, small,
as we have means of knowing some
what of the inmates lives after they
leave the prison, and l feel that these
records are sufficient to convince any
one of the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing
our present system
