TO THE TAXPAYERS =

TO THE TAXPAYERS -
Do you want your taxes reduced?
A new law was enacted in 1922 en-
abling you to do so. Chapter 225.
Laws Of 1929, gives a majority OF
the voters the right to reduce taxes.
1t authorizes a majority of the resi-
dent property owners to petition an
election as to whether taxes may be
imposed for any item EFF expense,
for the county, city or town, 1t
prohibits, after such petition has
been filed, the Supervisors or Al
dermen from imposing taxes, un-
less an election favoring the ex-
penditure has been held.
This law requires the Boards OF
Supervisors and Aldermen to pub
lish, in September, statement oi
ne money expended by them dur
ing the previous year, and of the
money which they propose to ex-
pend for the various items of ex
pense during the ensuing year. This
IS called BUDGET OF EX-
PENSES." 1t makes Supervisor
or Alderman liable on his bond for
voting for any expenditure exceed
ing the amount set out in the Pob-
lished Budget.
If you will investigate, carefully,
you will find that schools and roads,
and other public necessities, are re-
sponsible for large part of your
taxes: that county and local taxes,
are by far the largest part of your
taxes. This is business PROPOSE
ton that the Legislature has pro-
vided to give you right to satisfy
yourselves as to what will be done
with your money; or to stop waste
fulness and extravaganza in the ex
penditure Of same, by your county
and municipal boards. The HIGH
TAX RATES (not high assessed
valuations) are responsible for
HIGH TAXES. There is no longer
'Texation without Representation
This new Law enables you to lower
taxes. We urge you to take ad-
vantage of it. See that the Boards
publish the budgets, and make no
allowances in excess OF them
Please satisfy yourselves as to the
necessity and honesty of the ex
pen1iture OF your money by these
| Boards, or halt. by a contrary elec
ton, the wasteful and extrayagan
expenditure of your money by them
Yours very truly.

SHUT OUT WATER AND DUST
Nature Has Provided for the Aermst-
-, ical Closing Of Nostrils OF
Seal and Camel.

Most Of us when we 60 In for diving
have the very unpleasant experience
of getting our nostrils full of water.
Mature did not design man to be a
diving animal, otherwise she would
have been as clever with his nose as
she has been with seals, London Tit
Bits says.
The seal is, without doubt, the clev-
crest diver in the animal world, and
his nose Is very ingenious contriv-
'ance indeed. Each nostril is provided
with muscles which close it hermetical-
ly at the owners will. And the shape
of the nose is such that when the nos
trils are closed not a drop Of water
can enter. - ..t'r
With seals the closing Of the nostrls
ut the moment Of diving has become
an automatic process. g, g..
This Is wonderful enough, but we
can see a still more remarkable appli-
cation of the same principle in an AMI
nal as far removed from the seal as
chalk is from cheese.

To Clean Aluminium.


This is so much used now, owing to
its lightness, cleanliness and its at
tractive appearance, that perhaps q
word or two as to it's preservation and
cleaning may be Of service to some OF
my young housewives. As soon as any
utens!l is done with, either saucepan,
kettle or teapot. wash it out at once.
It is sometimes necessary to make q
warm lather. and pour this into the
saucepan: Or frying pan, and with a
soft cloth wash out the inside; rinse,
and dry at once. The kettle should
lie turned upside down when not re,
quired for some hours, so that all the
moisture drains out through the
sprout. Teapots should never stand
with tea in them after the meal, but
emptied. rinsed and wiped dry with a
clean CLOTH then turned upside down

other owner Of trapdoor nostrils is the
camel, an inhabitsnt Of the driest
parts of the world. the waterless sandy
deserts. Now, why should the camel
require such an apparatus? He is not
troubled with water, but he is trou-
bled with dust; not the dust that we
see in this country. but the fierce;
binding luststorms Of the desert.
These are so violent that tiny par
ticles are driven into the works OF
even the most finely made watch, which
becomes ut once clogged and useless.
If the camel had not nostrils which
were perfectly dust-tight he could
never endure the dreadful sand and
dust storms.
