with Theft; Return Part but
Escape with Some of Tur-
mans Expense Roll

j. H. Turman's contemplated
trip to his old home in Missouri

day night by band of gypsies.
While the trip is, fortunately, still
in prospect, Mr.. Turman's trip 10

tailed, for he's still tout" some of
his expense money.
A band of gypsies, occupying
seven or eight cars, drove into
town Tuesday afternoon. All the
females in the outfit Immediately
scattered thru the business Sec
ton of town on their customary
foraging expedition. Bold as brass
and slye rthan foxes, they proceed
ed to gather up what money and
merchandise they were clever enuf
to get away with.
A group Of them surrounded Mr..
Truman in one of the stores and
attempted to work" him for the
money under the guise Of telling
his fortune. They succeeded in
a wad Of twenty-dollar
bills which he had drawn to fl
nance his trip to Missouri.
In the outcry which followed
the discovery Of his loss, Chief of
Police DeHaven appeared ard got
back fifty dollars which Mr.. Tur-
man claimed he had lost. Later he
claimed he was still out twenty,
and upon the arrival of Deputy
Sheriff Copeland, the two police
again held up the caravan and sue
ceeded in obtaining another TWEEN
ty. After the band had been es-
corted to the bridge and warned
TO sSbeat it" out Of the county, Mr..
Truman again counted his money
and discovered that he was still
some thirty dollars to the bad as a
result of his encounter with the
wanderers.

BUREAUCRACY'S GROWTH

In a recent magazine article, G. w. Bat
tley gives some striking illustrations of the
amazing growth of government departments,
bureaus and commissions during recent
years. He calls especial attention to the ex-
pansion of the Federal Trade Commission
whose expenditures increased from $184, O16
in 1915 to $685., 1902 in 1881, or more than
ten fold.
Yet, this commission, which is supposed
to regulate competition and prevent viola
tons of antitrust laws, has no power to ell
force it's decisions. More than so per cent of
it's decisions which have been tested in the
courts have been reversed the litigation caus-
ing great expense to the government and to
business men affected by these unlawful in
references with their rights.
Other instances of bureaucracy's growth
pointed out by Mr.. Battley include the fact
that the Department of Commerce increased
it's expenditures more than 400 per cent in
Is years, while the Department of Agricui-
lures expenditures increased from $685.,
228 to $296, 865, 944 in 20 years, or about l.
400 per cent.
The same general situation exists in
every department of national, state and local
government. It is no wonder that the tax
payers throughout the country are organic
ing to demand relief from the. unbearable tax
burden which has been placed upon them.
