The initiative and referendum is too expensive lo he ot practical utility.

THE MESSAGE The president's message is a lengthy and able state paper. It recites at length the causes that led up to the war with Spain. In a dispassionate, statesmanlike manner it tells the story of the preparation for the war, the con- flicts and victories achieved. Without self adulation it dis-1 cusses the results, and pays tri bute to the bravery and heroism displayed by the army and navy,. and many other wise and perti nent recommendations which ap pear at length on the outside of this issue in the message itself. AMEND THE LA IF- The law for the collection il taxes should be amended so that county treasurers should collect all taxes. They are the custodians ot the county funds and are the only persons who should in any way b eonaecled with ihe collection ol 1 axes. In states east of lltri Ruck ies it is almost universally tin- use, that county treasurers collect ;he taxes as well as disburse the in lids. The treasures should h- 111 powered to make all tux sales, the warrant, being issued 10 htm instead of tho sheriff. The lav; -hould be amended so that lax sales should bo published by tin printer making the lowest bkl, who resides in the county where th properly is to be sold. This cotirs would save this state tens of thous ands of dollars annually. We de 1 nand that our representative; make a united effort to have this much needed legislation made ef I'.ctual. In this same connection we want to uneci me attention 01 fcsenion county's delegation in the lngisla Hire; (o tne enormous expense caused this state by making three tax rolls in each county. It is nonsensical, expensive and of Itu practical value. One copy is enough lor esich -county, and when made up should be placed in the I hands of tire county treasurer lor j collection, and thus avoid the cir cumlocution of having the sheriff collect and then pay over 1 lh treasurer, which by some -sheriffs is not very promptly done. Our sheriff is not at fatrit in this mas ter, we are glad to say. Scliool closed last Friday in district No. 43 after three months excellent work underthe tutorship ot Prof. 4. N.

We Me have heard several remarks from ditferent persons, among them the heaviest taxpayers in this end of the cou- ty, and all have the same tone and that is, against suc;i a change.

A superintendent, matron, cook and teamster would be necessary in time, and these, besides food, medicine, clothes and physician, would ex-eed in cost the luli amount of the charges under the present system. l'hosc in favor of such a county institution can onlv say that sol manv attaches would not be hired. Well, at first possibly not, but la 1 ter, after the business came under political control, thi-se and perhaps a few more would be paid monthly stipends. We heard one, poor, lone crea ture who never paid a cent of tax into the county. treaury in Ins liie unless it were by order ol a justice of the peace in demanding a line, say that the present man agement of the poorfarm always made it a point to have a goo I clean up prior to inspection by the countv c urt. In this counectioi , this party tried to claim that the management tried to deceive Let us say right here that every public building in this broad land, every penitentiary, insane asylum or other public institution, has a general overhauling, cleaning and putting in order, just bet-ore a committee irom the legislature makes its official visit.
