traveller. We can thus see that the
consumer not only pays the tax on his
own home, which he can not pass on
to anyone else, and on his own farm,
which he can not pass on, but in addi-
ton thereto the farmer, who is large
consumer. is paying nearly all of the
tax on railroads and fully so per cent
of the tax on town property. In our
country, this tax, direct and indirect
amounts to fully 800 per acre. The
indirect portion of this tax is Two or
three times as large as the direct tax
Now these statements are based upon
the laws of economics and they oper-
ate regardless Of purpose or plan.
If the farmer does not pay the tax
on property in his own home town he
will pay pay the tax for Montgouy cry
Ward and Company on property in
Chicago The question then is: How
can we secure cooperation between our
business men and our farmers? Are
we not making the case of the farm
ers so extremely difficult that in the
end We are bound to go down in the
same crash? If the farmer is eiimin-
ated from industry, what will our town
property be worth? In what way then
can We convince our business men
that it is not only making the case OF
the farmer too difficult by passing on
the tax, but that he is curtailing his
own trade, paralyzing agriculture and
fnu
our commonwealth.
The real solution of this question
then is that each man should not look
at his own ability to pay or his own
attitude towards proposed public i'm
provements. His constant thought
should be: How can the other fellow
to whom pass on the tax stand the
strain Nothing but the most con-
slant resort to publicity can bring
about a correct understanding on the
part Of the business men.

believed to be the first agreement
ever signed between the Ku klux
Klan and anti-Klan factions was
reached here yesterday, as a culmi-

have occurred here recently since
May 8.
The agreement provides that both

promoting peace in the community.
1t was signed by members Of the Khan
and Knights OF the Flaming Circle,
an anti-Klan organization, at con-
ference presided over by Sheriff John
Thomas of Trumbull County.
Because the burning Of the Ran's

to frequent street fights, the agree
ment provides specifically that no
crosses or circles be burned in
Weatherie1d township, in which this
city is located. 1t includes the aban-
donment of all charges and counter
