preparation bill amounting TO

In 1881, the appropriation bill
passed by the last Republican
legislature called for approx
mately one hundred million dol
lars, which means that in a few
short years, the cost Of state
government has increased over
10 million
We will concede that the gov
ernor in travelling up and down
the state, did make oft repeated
promises" that there would be
no more taxes that the people
could pay no more taxes-and
that they were already over
burdened.
Those statements were cor
rect. The people can stand no
more taxes. Eight years ago
the annual income Of the people
of the state was one billion dol
lars. In 1888. il had fallen TO
seven hundred million. Now,
one-sixth of the total income OF
this state will be the states

The time has come to stop
passing the buck from the gov

one wing Of the Democratic
party 10 the other, or to place
the blame on the needy and

state government is due to one
thing and that is BUREAUCRA-

cratic administration. No single
item could have of itself resulted
in this extravaganza.
We have the highest admira-
ton and respect for the integrity
OF many of the Democratic legis-
lators. Many of them fought
valiantly as Americans. but the
bureau government and extrava-
gance that has been built up in
this state under Democratic

party to remedy. Neither will

SCIENCE NEWS

A new piano, with dual key
board. one above the other. as is
the case with pipe organs, has
been placed on the market. The
upper keyboard sounds tones an
octave higher than the other. A
special pedal-operated coupling
device permits both to be played
together, or either by itself. The
new instrument is said to be
easier to play than the stan
dard keyboard, particularly for
youngsters, who find it difficult
to reach widely-separated chords
on a standard single keyboard
instrument.
