At peace with the world and with pros

the character of the earnest God-fearing
men and women of former generations.
Long established custom has set apart
day each year for the renewal of family
ties, for giving thsnks to the Almighty
and for asking Him that our people may
be worthy to receive His favors.
Now, therefore, l, Percival P. Baxter,
Governor of the State of Maine, 10 here

fruits of the labors of others without
realizing that there is a debt of gratitude
owed former generations that can be re-
paid only by transmitting to those who
follow the heritage of liberty that has
come down to us, the greatest and most
enduring heritage in history.
Given at the office of the Governor at
Augusta, and sealed with the Great

direct cut in the cost of government
of 25 per cent is necessary if bust
ness in that state is not to be dis
couraged.
In the state of Colorado, a Com !
mittee of One Hundred is working to
figure out ways and means to reduce
the tax load which industry and the
common citizen must bear.
In the face of such conditions our
present laws permitting the constant
issuance Of tax exempt public bonds
go unamen6ed and hundreds of
millions of dollars of this class of
! securities are being constantly
issued and the holders oe this paper
escape all taxation, thus doubling the
lead on the remaining taxpayers
To cap the climax of governmental
extravaganza in issuing tax exempt
bonds, professional politicians in the
state of California have placed on
the ballot for the next election in
November measure authorizing the
state to issue s5OO,0O0,000 of bonds
for the purpose of building state
owned water and power projects. At
one crack it is estimated this would
increase the stste debt of California
seven times.
The demand for reduced taxation
is general in western states. Results
rest largely with the people in
coming elections.
A government clerk got raise in
his salary some months ago. He
rushed to the telegraph Office when
his days work was over and dis
patched a message to the girl of his
choice in his home town, apprising
her of his new good fortune and ask
ing her to become his life partner,
a step he had long contemplated, but
which mis- former limited salary had
deferred him from taking. He pre-
paid the reply at the minimum fee
and her answer, therefore, had to be
: limited to 10 words. The young
fellows suspense of waiting was in
tense but in a few minutes: Yes
t gladly. willingly, joyfully, delightedly
a gratefully, lovingly, yes, yes, yes"

Southwick Phone Meeting

A meeting was called at South
wick Wednesday night tor the pur-
pose of discussing and cussing the
telephone situation that exists be-
tween Southwick and kendrlck. A
number of Kendrick business men
went up to assist in doing justice to
the occasion. 1t seems that the
commercial line between the. two
towns. which is not owned by any
one in particular, has been IN need
of repair. The local phone company
which has been giving free service
on this line, cut 1t off from their
switchboard recently, thus severing
phone service between the two
towns. Herman Schuyler, repre-
sentlng the local company, stated
at the meeting that the line would
be connected up again as soon as it
was put IN shape for service.
Several years ago kendrick busl-
ness men furnished the money and
people of Southwick community the
labor to build this commercial line.
The local phone company agreed to
connect the lire to their switch
board, at least temporarily. The
arrangement has never been alto
gether satisfactory, as it was not
reasonable to expect efficient SER
wee under this plan. 1t was agreed
Wednesday night by both Southwlck
and Kendrick representatives that
the matter should be referred to the
public utilities commission, but II
the meanwhile the line would be
repaired and again connected to the
local switchboard Until a decision
might be received from the utilities
commission. This arrangement ap
parentiy met with general satisfac
ton.

better stock than ever, large part
of the new stock already having

the Gregson Sales Co., drew large
crowd to Kendrlck Monday. Most
OF the furniture IN stock was sold al
auction so that when Mr.. BechtoI
agaln fills his store it will be with
new goods in every department.

Do the People Rule?

Reduction of tax revenue of the
state of Utah by reason of the fact
that property owners allowed their
property to be sold, rather than pay
their 1921 taxes, amounted to $685.

pared in the Office of Mark Tuttle,
state auditor.
In Montana leading state paper
says, "The graduated income tax,
which is one of the schemes pro-
posed for adding to the burden Of
taxation in this state (Montana), is
also up for disposal Of the voters in
Oregon. Already the proposed mea-
sure together with other laws pen
alizing capital in Oregon has driven
outsiders away and if the income tax
carries, Oregon will be set back
another ten or twenty years. Yet
here in Montana we are starting in
to go the same disastrous route"
John S. Chambers, former con-

"Tbe principal cause cf the treme I'd

functions, in the main, are worthy
ones, but in addition to new agencies
having been created to administer
them instead of assigning them tC
related existing units of government
with resultant overhead and Other
additional costs, they have been as
sumed too rapidly: that is to say
without due regard to revenue ant
