Council Talks
 Diesel Auxiliary

7; At it's last regular meeting, 1 Monday evening, the City Coun-
 Gil spent considerable of it's
 time talking of procuring a new i diesel power plant as an auxill-
 aIy unit to the hydro-electric
 city plant. Estimates were read
 for two 260-horsepoWer dieSels swinging two 225 k. vk a. gen. orators, complete with switch board and starting engine.
 It was stated that while tEe purchase of this equipment would set the town back, finar- cially to about the same pos; tion of five years ago, still tic added revenue from the new installation would take care of this and pay it's way in short tune.
 The fact was pointed out that the needs of the town had grown to such a point that it was 10 longer practical to depend entirely upon the hydro-electric rlant which suffers such heavy repairs during the heavy snowy and stormy weather That with development of any trouble. whereby the load could not be generated at the hydro plant, the diesel unit could be Swurg on giving full service at all times to the City. The hydro unit is now taking capacity loa1 and it is only a matter of time when additional units must bc provided so it was believed that an auxiliary unit located in the City WOulu De most pfactlcaI. The cost of which engines would approximate $25,0O0.
 It was believed that with au- tnorization of sale of an aI- ditional S1Oo,oOo city bonds that this unit could be financed or in event this was not believed prac- tlcal, the equipment could be procured on issuance of city warrants, Either way, the matter would be put up to an electior and the decision rest wit,l tine rGople.

Best Remedy fol.
 Cough Is Easily Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough due to a cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trou- ble at all to mix and costs but trifle.
 Into . pint bottle, pour 2k ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated. sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you purer, better remedy. It never spells, and tastes g0od-children like it.
 You can actually feel it's penetrat- ing, soothing action on the infamed throat membranes. It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick re- lief even in those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

 (Copyright 1882 by United Press)
 Chicago, Jan e. (UP)-The midwest, galled by agrowing tax burden, is needing the pioneer pre- cept: "A penny saved is a penny earned"
 In the case of midland states, it is $1,000, 100000 (B) penny. Government-national, state, city county, township and school dis trict = has been pocketing that penny and doling it out in salar- les, appropriations, and whatever other way budgets provided.
 Now the people are tightening the purse strings. The wheat farmer in the Red River Valley of the north, the corn grower from Iowa, the Wisconsin lumberman, the Illinois manufacturer, the Me- braska stockman-everyone who pays taxes-is on the defensive.
 Banks have failed. Several cit- ies have declared "business mora toriums" to give excited populaces a breathing spell and restore con- fidence. Chicago, Metropolis of the region, is virtually bankrupt and cannot pay it's teachers, its fire men of its policemen.
 Special sessions of the Illinois and Wisconsin legislatures have been tussling with the problems of relief and economy.
 Their minds made up, the people are doing something about it. The economy tax is falling everywhere. Salaries have been slashed. De- partments in municipalities have been abolished. Improvement pro- grams have been abandoned. School terms have been shortened.
 A measure pending before the special session of the Illinois leg islature would abolish 300 offices erinarians, county highway super in the 1O2 counties, throwing vet intendents and county treasurers out of their posts. Other proposals being considered by the same leg islators would trim salaries of all public employees up to 30 per cent. It i1 proposed to cut the salaries of members of the legislature from $3,500 to $2,000.
 We don't want to hit the little fellow" explained Representative T. w. O'Grady, Chicago. "He earns every cent he makes and is prob- ably underpaid at that. What we want to do is cut down and pay off the big payroller."
 Former Governor Frank O. Low den of Illinois proposed that coun- ties be consolidated, thereby elim- mating many offices.
 Good highways and modern methods of transportation make many of our county seats unnec- sary." Lowden argued.
 Perhaps the most significant ac- ton was that of the last Iowa leg islature. It enacted a law which requires that all units of govern ment below the state government proper must reduce the total amount of taxes collected during 1898 and 1893 by five per cent. Twenty-Five counties have reduced salaries.
 "Th;e cost of government has been reduced 20 per cent this bi- ennium," announced Governor Dan w. Turner of Iowa. "That is not

ington and the agricultural centers Of
the East eide are sending In their
quota OF signatures.
This Is oase where the interests
of the city property owner and the
farmer are identical" said Mr.. Wheel
er. For years, taxes on city property
have been going higher and higher
until property owning has become q
burden. The same thing Is true Of
the country. According to informa-
ton received at campaign head
quarters, there vii lbe many farmers
this year whose taxes will be more
than the net profits from the entire
seasons operations. Such a condition
ought not to be tolerated. Initiative
No. 81 strikes at the root of this evil
by limiting the amount that may be
levied on farm lands rs well as city
real estate. A little more effort in
the next few days will insure enough
signatures to put this bill on the

Mr.. Wheeler explained that while
