How Better Than PILLS?

The question has been asked In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect Is so gentle that one hard
~ realizes that 1t is produced by u
medicine. Then, they not only move
the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.

Farmer 70 Hardest HIT.
1.-THE growth in the tax burden dur
ing the last ftve years has probably
been felt more In the hast year or two
In the rural than IN the xrban districts
Of the state, due to the less favorable
economic conditions prevailing in rur-
al districts. The farmer, having but
little to say In liking the price of
things he produces, has not been able
to protect himself to the same extent
as the manufactures or the merchant.
THE farmers tar burden, measured
by the exchange value. Of his products,
has grown extremely heavy IA the
last year or two. IA: ..a !.
I TT fs worthy Of note that both prfn-
cipal, levies under direct control Of
the people who pay the taxes the To-
cal school district levies and the town
road and bridge levies-show a large
increase in the FIVE year period, the
former amounting to nearly $50 per
cent and the latter to a little over zoo
per cent. " G.-...ss -.
toThese levies show very conclusive
ly that taxes under direct control of
the people Of the rural districts have
increased more rapidly than taxes
levied by the elected officials of the
different units Of government. =
ut IL also worthy Of note that Of
each dollar levied In taxes In the !:
rural districts last year and pay
able this year, education will re-
ceive nearly ~ cents and roads :
and bridges nearly 35H cents, or
"a combined total OF about 76h
cents. 1898 "a
High tax rates are not always an
unmixed evil They are often entirely
justifiable, and frequently commend
able. In many cases the benefits de-
rived from the levies fully compen-
safe for high rates. ss .s s...7
IF high rates are the result of de-
sirable and needed public improve
ments, and il the taxpayer is able to
meet the demand without finding the
tax burdensome, then they are prefer
able to low rates and dry rot. -
but If desirable public improve
ment will result in a tax rate SO high
as to become. an oppressive burden,
then the making of the improvement,
however desirable it may be, should
be deferred until the taxpayer is bet
ter able to meet the extra demands

not necessarily bad; oppressive tax
rates are absolutely bad"

Both fought for an ideal. The fire of
patriotism that burned in the breast or the

OF liberty was endangered There is more

AS n Matter of Course"

DISCUSSING the probable rent reduction
- in Richmond OF about l 0 per cent one
real estate man observes that the prospect
is causing no disturbance in the rent mar
kct. but is being accepted as matter of
course. Landlords, rental agents business
interests and the public at large probably
will on the whole take this view of the pre-
dicted decline. The item of rent has how
cred more persistently about the level
reached during the inflated war period than
most other factors in the cost OF living and
II is both reasonable and necessary that this
Item shall now begin to reflect the general
economic tendency. For perfectly obvious
reasons, rental charges may not be adjusted
with as much frequency certain other ele-
ments Of the living cost hut the opening
OF the next rental year will have been pre-
ccdcd by an extended period Of definite and
widespread price declines. and it Is fair
TO assume, AS matter of course" that
rental charges will fall in line.
1t may not be said that Richmonds hous-
ms problem has been solved The shortage
has not been entirely overcome But it is
clear that great strides have been made to-
ward a solution. The shortage is no longer
acute. Some real estate men incline to the
view that by September there will be no
dehciency whatever. That is TO say opera
lon OF the law of supply and demand may
alone be expected TO produce scaling down
of the average in rentals
This prospect is not one to bring regret
or apprehension to any element in the com
munity. On the contrary, it should he
viewed by every one with satisfaction Grad
ual mitigation Of tho rent burden will con-
tribute materially to the reimbursement which
must be made more and more uniform in
order to establish the desired economic re-
covery. The reduction forecast by real es-
tate men is merely another harbingcr Of nor
malcy.
