LIFT THE BURDEN

Wnhe every citizen will be glad that the State
ns paid its debts and is again a going concern after
several years of burden caused by bad manage
ment under unwise administrations, no one will be-
looied by any claim that the debts have been paid
by any magic ~
There are but two ways of getting out of debt.
one is to spend less money. The other is to ralse
more money.
Inc debts have been paid by the latter metnoo'
50 That after all, the people have paid their DEBTS
py accepting heavier burdens than they should have
peen forced to carry, had these debts never been
incurred
The trick used to make the heavier taxes paa-
liable or less Objectionable to pass the cost along
to the owners of automobiles through special taxes
The passion of the people for good roads fur
nlshed the opportunity. And while the funds for
roads were being raised by high taxes on every gal
lon of gasoline and special license fees the money
raised formerly for this purpose by general taxa
ton was used to pay off the old obligations
The tax rate remained at the same highelevel
established when and half million dollars OF
general taxes used to build roads and when
more than another million raised by inheritance
taxes went for the same purpose every year.
While the managers of the Watson political ma
chine announce that they will order their orators to
emphasize this debt paying trick of Governor jack
son in order to distract attention from the attitude
of Watson various public questions, the people
may be much more interested in discovering just
what the administration proposes to do at the next
Legislature In order to reduce tax burdens. -
Certainly there is no excuse for keeping on
with the special taxes the same tax levy IL there
are no debts to be paid
The big question is whether the State govern
ment is being run on basis of economy and whether
it is necessary to use all the money now being
raised.
If the Legislature decides to retain the inler-
itance taxes in the general fund instead of turning
them over for highways where they once went and
which furnished the for their existence, then
the tax rate should be cut.
If it decides to keep on forcing auto owners to
pay that cents gallon tax and the high license
fees then that cents on every 500 levied for high
way purposes should come off.
If any one tries to tell you that efficient man.
agement and economies paid the State debt, look
at the figures.
You will then discover that the people paid the
debts while the burden of road building was passed

The Trouble.
Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. - Congress
sional campaigns must cost the post
office $1O,274,OOO every two years, ac-
cording to figures produced in the con-
troversy between Senator o. E. Weller
of Maryland and Representative John
Philip Hill of the same state.
Weller is trying for a republican
senatorial denomination September IA.
Hill is trying to get the nomination
for himself
Hill accused Weller of sending out
political letters under his senatorial
frank, to save postage
Weller rejoined that Hill, during the
last session of congress, read into the
Congressional Record, as speeches, ev-
erything he wanted to say to the Mary
land voters, and now is sending out the
Congressional Record under his frank.
The nub of it is that Weller esti-
mates Hills campaign postage stamp
bill would have been $4,000 if he'd
paid for his outgoing mail.
If Weller's figure is right as to HILL
and if other congressman are as free
begin to see one reason why there S
postal deficit.
Thesterms of 80 senators and 435 rep
resentatives expire simultaneously BIZ
ennially.
Multiply $4,000 by their total-467
and you get $1O,274OOO, or $5,1S7OOC
a year which the postoffice department
works for but doesn't get
Probably, in reality, $4,000 per con-
gressman is too high. Nevertheless
the amount of free mail that goes out
of Washington, when a political cam
paign is on, is almost unbelievable
The postoffice never has attempted
to determine it's volume exactly-what
is the use? 1t wouldn't pay anything
anyway-but "trainloads of it" is the
wav it's described at the department.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
DRAGONS

We've been always convinced that the
writer's who told
Of the tail-lashing. flame breathing,
dragon
Which was licked by ST. George in
the brave days of old
Had been toying too much with the
flagon.
A creature like this, with an armor
plate hide
And it's spine with sharp vertebrae rip
|. ping, aJc o4a& a4aIQ"
And eyes like live embers are seldom
espied
BY persons who haven't been tippling.
But now from Australia there comes
the report
That the natives have located legions
| OF brutes of this fearsome and hideous
sort
In the lonely interior regions.
They are often as large as a medium
whale
And Sometimes of still greater sizes,
Like spears are their talons, and when
they exhale
A cloud of hot vapor arises.
We were never especially keen for the
chase,
We never have stalked down the Niger,
The man eating lion, or stood face to
face
With burly and i'll tempered tiger.
/ But if with dragon we thought we
! might meet
In the forests alleged to enfold him,
Though we'd feel that it might not be
very discreet,
We would go long way to behold
| him.
For dragons, to put it quite mildly,
are rare,
| And to gaze at one paving the gravel
Or blowing great columns of flame in
! the air,
Would be worth great deal of hard
/ travel
But at present our impulse to take the
! long tour
TO far off Australia We'll throttle.
We are open to reason, but yet we feel
sure
That these dragons were seen through
a bottle.
