CURRENT COMMENT

READERS Of The Index who have
not read the very completes ab-
stract OF the taxes CT state and coun-
ties in Sundays Statesman should dc
70, II they are interested in the tar
question. II Is very complete in every
way. and shows not only the amount
collected for state purposes, but also
tia total expense Of each county gov
eminent. With taxable valuation Of
14O6, 630, $50. % million dollars are
required to pay the cost Of schools,
highways, Institutions and govern
ments. The total levied for state
purposes Is approximately 3 million
dollars. There are many other as
founding facts that evaFy taxpayer
ought to know. They should be stud
isd carefully and thoughtfully with .
view Of determining what services
can be dispensed with in our govern
msnts and what reductions can be
made in the cost Of other services,
The abstract printed in the Statesman
furnishes q foundation for such re-
search.

UNDOUBTEDLY, the next state
campaign win be fought out on

big Issue. A The Index stated last
week. there will b. the usual bunc
spread broadcast by politicians Of
both parties. Be prepared for them
AK them to specify how they intend
to reduce tho cost Of government.
Accept no generaities. There is only
one way to reduce state expenses and
that Is by cutting out some Of the
things we are spending money for
now. We shall wait with expectancy
for some Of the persons who are COM
planning about state expenses to out
line just how they propose to reduce.
So far there have been nothing but
gsnsralitiss. The taxpayers should

after Office, and probably is liar to

combination of circumstances is COM
PEELED to serve a long term in prison.
Farnum playing this part is provided
with wonderful opportunities to dis
play all his undoubted powers of ex-
pressing human emotion and pathos.
The combination of star and story
makes an unsurpassed example of in
tense human interest.
The production is elaborate
twenty-four separate interior sets are
used. These include a huge court
room scene wherein the trial of the
hero is held. Some of the big sets
show scenes of twenty years ago and
others are of modern times.
The acting of Farnum is declared
to be the most remarkable and APP
pealing of his whole career. He first
appears as an active ambitious man
of forty-five, happily married and the
father of two lovely children. Later
he appears as pathetic, sweet-souled
old man. dazed by long Imprisonment.
