CONCERNING TAXES.

Those who have the say about the
expenditure of tax moneys fire.
quently speak, of the wastefulness
of armies and navies. They wish,
as does every one else, that such
national safeguards were unneces-
sary and that funds needed for
their maintenance might be divert
ed to serve other purposes.
But as rule they have very lit
tie to say about our standing army
of tax collectors and spenders,
which is more than five times the
size of our army and navy COM
bined. In this connection the re-
cent report of the taxation commit
tee of the Michigan Bankers Asso-
citation is particularly interesting.
The committee asserts that, in
the past fifteen years, more than
100000 laws have been passed in
the country to control the lives and
business activities of our people,
and that one individual in twelve of
our population is supported by the
tax-paying public in one way or
another. In the state f Michigan,
SO per cent of the wealth newly
created every year goes to pay for
government-state local or national.
The United States government
pays salaries to 100000 civilians
and the several states have more
than twice that number on their
payrolls. Add their families and
dependents and you will understand
the surprising totals and the cost of
our governmental housekeeping.
Is it any wonder that tax-free
securities are popular, and that so
many supposedly upright citizens
are to be suspected of forgetfulness
in the matter of their tax return ?
Is it any wonder that most business
men hold up their hands jim horror
at the thought of government own
ership or operation of utilities?

The agitator who yells that law
is only for the rich is blind to the
real truth. Law is especially worth
while for the poor. The rich might
possibly get along without it. The
poor have no other protection. A
rich man can, hire his own watch
men, pay for all sorts of protection
to his property and his life, get on
his yacht and sail when trouble
comes. But the poor man has to
rely for every form of protection
on the law and the forces of the
law. And this is doubtlessly why,
as a rule, the average man is gen.
orally the most insistent in his
stand for the upholding of the law.
He knows that it is especially for
his defense.-Winnebago Enterprise

If the United States and Canada
can get along without guns and
ships, forts and outposts, standing
armies and walking armies along
their international border, why isn't
it just as possible for other nations
to do the same, thing. There might
be a possible element of danger in
it for some of the European ma
tions, but it would be cheap and
we'll worth taking a chance on

FOR INSTANCE.

Those who yearn for the good old days Go not
yearn to conform to the service and circumstances
of those good old days. They want service, but
complain of it's cost.
For instance: You elder folks remember when
garden truck was available only in the season
of garden truck, fruits in their season, when
there was no winter market for fruits and green
vegetables because they were not offered and
nobody expected or sought to buy them then.
Most of us can recall our first sight of a grape
fruit on a winter market without going back
to the Oldest pioneer. That new cabbage and young
potatoes came only with the growth of the garden,
not in January or March, and so on and so forth.
But shipments of California and Florida fruits
and vegetables during one. week in February to
one city totalled 1904 carloads. That was to one
city and in one week. Included in this total Ber-
muda and Cuba sent $4,000 bushels of mixed
vegetables. There were apples that came across
a continent, tomatoes that grew in Florida and
the Bahamas, Strawberries from across the gulf,
string beans, potatoes that were dug in Bermuda,
81 carloads of fresh celery, a dozen varieties of
fruits, all sent by land and sea over vast stretches
to crafty the Lucullan a~ppetites of those who
pay for and gobble them and sit back to sigh out
their repletion for the good old days."
Little or big the city has its fruits stores. Large
or small, the green vegetables that have travelled
thousands of miles find a greedy market.
Those who dance must pay the fiddler. The
dancing of these later days includes payment of
a whole orchestra of truck farmers, ice men, fast
freights, all that goes to bring the gastatory lux
uries to the tables of a luxurious age.
Nothing costs more than service. Nothing pays
better than self service. 1t isn't the good old
days that are lacking. Not so, it's the good old
thrift of our people.
