I XTRAVAGANT APPROPRIATIONS are piling up the taxes against "the people of the state more rapidly every session. There are, in the course of legislative sessions, many things for which money is asked that are worthy of support. But there are, on the other hand, many things that this state can well afford to do without, especially since the cost of these luxuries is exhorbitant and the people cannot now afford to pay them. The government of the state is top-heavy. There are too many boards and commissions for which the people have to pay and the expenses that have to be. met. The state legislature has been guilty, several times, of attaching commissions and boards to the state government and making large appropria tions for their contingent expenses. There is really little reason for the state fisheries commission. There is less reason for the corporation commission. There is little excuse for about half of the boards with which this state has been afflicted for the past few years. The example of making useless appropriations and creating useless boards is a bad one. What the state has done without, it usually can get along without until conditions are such that the remedy must be forthcoming at once. Many boards and commissions are useful and do a great work for the state. But there are others that the state can afford to lose. The mere fact, however, that they have been established makes it hard to get rid of them for the people have become accustomed to them and the legislature ex pects to continue to make the regular appropriations. In the matter of fisheries, the government of the United States has a spe cial department devoted exclusively to that work in all of the public streams of the country. The state could better afford to contribute something to the work of the government and keep its hands off of the fishery problem. Some of the fish that have been raised in the streams of the state have been found as far down as Californian waters and have done this state little good in re turn for the work and the money that has been invested' in their culture. This is a fact and the records of the government show just where some of the fisii Feed Our Cities by Means of the Parcel Post Perfect System So Small Farmers Can Use It to Advantage Cost of Living Would Soon Be Materially Reduced By Representative D. J. LEWIS. "Father of Parcel Post" A GENERAL PARCEL POST PROVIDING ADEQUATE TRANS PORTATION FOR RETAIL SHIPMENT DIRECT FROM THE PRODUCER TO THE CONSUMER WOULD BE ONE OF THE 8UREST MEANS OF REDUCING THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. Take a wage laborer when he is sixty years old. He may be able to raise three or four hundred dollars to buy a few acres of land there i nearly always plenty, of land available for truck farming and a little cottage to shelter himself and his wife. Now, if you articulated the railway and the city with the country through the means of transportation already in existence a system al most complete at this moment, the RURAL FREE DELIVERY the laborer could go into the trucking business without having to buy a trans portation system. He would not have to rush to town with every ten pound load AT GREAT COST OF TIME AND LABOR and little economic benefit to the public. Every day or every other day or every third day, as might be practicable, the postal van would pass his little truck farm and receive his allotment of packages. Table necessities, with rare exceptions, are produced on the farm in retail quantities butter, eggs, ham, etc. In reality there is no such thing as DIRECT TRANSPORTATION FROM THE "FARM TO THE KITCHEN," because all farm products have to go to the con- Burner through "the roundabout procession of commerce," with the price doubled and sometimes quadrupled. , IF NEITHER. RAILWAY NOR EXPRESS COMPANIES DISCHARGE THE FUNCTION OF TRANSPORTING THIS RETAIL SHIPMENT, WH DOES NOT OUR PARCEL POST DO IT? It is exactly true to say that our parcel post does not discharge this function simply because it is not permitted to do so; only because of re etrictions on its free operation,' which can be administratively removed. These are, first, the WEIGHT LIMIT, WHICH PREVENTS IT FROM MOVINGa A WORTH WHILE BASKET TO THE MAR KET, and, second, the pound rates, which, excepting on the first pound, are prohibitively high and many times as high as the cost of service. that have been produced in the upper rivers have gone after maturity and what has happened to them after they were large enought to leave their na tive waters. To produce fish, the government should be given complete con trol over them. It has every means to get the best results in the culture and production of fish. It has all of the streams of the country at its disposal and a force of men who make that a life study. There is every reason why the state should delegate its streams to the government and should keep its hands off of the problem altogether. v Too many boards and commissions have been responsible for a great deal of the expense that the state will now have to pay and the people will not appreciate the work of the legislature when they go to the office of their tax collector and pay up the bills that have to be met against their property hold ings. : It would well pay the next session of the legislature to abolish about half of the boards that make our state government top-heavy and that add to the taxes when the first installment is due. In this way, a great deal of the money that has to be raised this year would be saved to the people and the taxes would be materially reduced. Surely some way ought to be devised bj which the taxes of the state could be cut and the people could be given the benefit of the money that the legislature spends. It is extravagance to spend money on boards and commissions for which the state has no immediate use The legislature is given the power over the money of the people and it should use extreme care that this money is not spent in a wasteful and extravagant manner. If sickness, accident or loss of position cuts, off your income, a snug sum in the bank tides you over without dis tress.

Censore Advertisements Every day the newspapers re ject advertisements because they believe they would not benefit their readers. This scrutiny is becoming more rigid each year rand the chap who is seeking unfair advantage finds a harder and harder row to hoe. Reputable merchants who are daily users of space in good news papers like the ENTERPRISE are scrupulously careful as to the statements they make. They are building reputation--and reputation cannot be founda tioned on careless words. Advertising sets high standards of business honesty. It is the herald of the square deal the white light of commer , cial safety. If you would keep in touch with the best and most reliable busi ness men in this town you will fol low closely tlfe advertising in the papers. When you buy you will find it to your advantage to buy advertis ed products.

DILLMAN & ROWLAND An executive order aBollshing roller towels in government buildings con veys new ideas concerning the luxury that is supposed to prevail in the gov ernment service.' Many a June bride who imagined she would do nothing but occupy a throne is how down in the cellar trying to get the clinkers out of the furnace so the blame thing will work. Every once in awhile you can pick op the paper and see that the war Is ended again In Santo Domingo. How ever, the papers are justified. Each time it's a different war. A London scientist has figured that woman is talking so much that event ually she will lose her voice and cackle like a hen. He hadn't heard of the American chicken, either. Opposing New York lawyers ex changed opinions as to one being "a bullet head" and the other "a mush, head." The court happily ended the controversy by agreeing with both. Advices from the national depart ment of agriculture-to "eat what you like when you feel like it" is not worth much to those who do not know where to get money enough to follow such advice. "Love never lasts more than five years." says a lady who appears to have devoted some study to the sub ject Perhaps it Isn't as bad as she would have us believe it to be. She may have got her information from Nat Goodwin or De Wolf Hopper. . A theater manager in New York is importing police dogs to drive away ticket scalpers. If the dogs are intelli gent enough to distinguish between a scalper and a patron of. the house the scheme may work, but what if it is otherwise?
