MIR PULSE WRITES ON
PUBLIC EXTRAVAGANZA

Editor Free Press:
The degree of oppression that our
burdens of taxation is causing has
roached all classes and is calling for a
state-wide demand that reductions be
made Farm products have not in
ereaged in price, while things the farm
o. uses have since 1915, increased 100
,,arcent. There surely is some reason
r,rbv taxes are SO high.
am going to quote some fress ex-
...'rts on the situation and leave it TO
,,opr readers to form their own conclu-
sons
The Boise Statesman says last week:
.'Eighty-six percent OF our taxes go
a. schools counties and cities
Eighty-six percent of the oratory in
the coming campaign will be aimed
at the wasteful extravaganza in the
IA percent that go to state govern
mon and correctional institutions.
The Statesman adds that there are
g0O0 boards in Idaho spending the
taxpavers' money without restraint
control In that case the citizens
If the Gem state would do best to get
after those boards and curb their
spending.
This same paper a few months ago,
before the political pot began to
sizzle, published the following. 1t is
said chickens always home home to
roost, now listen to this:
ssOne person out of every 60-odd in
Idaho is a salaried public official.
Does not that speak volumes about
tbe high taxes in Idaho?' says the
Boise Statesman, quoting John D.
Robertson, director of the state bu-
rean of taxation. The Statesman
continues: eff one person out of
every sixty men, women and children
Is taxeater, that means one family
head out of every twelve. 1t take
hundred families to support a church;
every dozen is supporting politician.
Something is wrong. There are three

mental Injuries, overburdened statute
books and the tax-eating army. Since
these three elements have caused all
our grief, the solution must be
reached by educating the clamoring
people. simplifying the complex gov
eminent and cutting down the size of
the tax-eating army
If it takes 100 families to support
church, is it any wonder that five
church organizations IN Grangeville are
unable to support resident pastor.
After we nay our state, county, school
and highway taxes, interest on borrow

chant, doctor, druggist water, lights,

left for benevolences or amusements.

IF Governor Davis would take some |

has brought forth such wonderful
wealth, we would surely be bankrupt,
and the only hope Is reasonable
economy in the administration of our
government, and with the develop
ment of our abundant resources we will
attract a stream of homeseekers and
settlers who win aid us to wipe out
our Indebtedness and reduce our ex-
penditures for those purposes for which
taxes are levied.
If the people expect any relief they
will have to exercise their God1given
privilege to turn out and vote at the
primaries, otherwise the combination
scheming political bosses viii stay in
the saddle and they will have no one
to blame but themselves if they do
not get results

But all this Kate Denny neither saw

So that was all she was, or could
ever hope to be-a second fiddle.
Suddenly, now, Kate Denny became
conscious Of the music from the plat

vet clearly, sweetly, the melody still
ran through it like q silver thread.
Fainter and yet more faint It grew,
until only an airy, swaying cobweb of

There was moments breathless
