The Couatry Side ot ft-
Editor Democrat:
It is a well known fact that can be
' easily ascertained that the farmer pays
I his full Bhare of the taxes and receives
I but little if any of the big appropria
tions while the cities get the benefit of
nearly all public monies. The county
seat always is a subject of contention
as to where it shall be located. Now
there is some underlying reason for
this, and the reason iB here, that they
receive the public money much out of

, . . ...... , . , .
where state institutions are located re-1
ceive tne Denent ot expenditure of pub-
lie money out ot proportion to their
population. . When we come to consider
the distribution of public funds we find
some astonishing facts.
For instance in 1903 congress appro
priated $764 millions; Agriculture, less
than 6 millions. It was insignificant in
comparison to the appropriation, less
than one per cent.
' The appropriations for the' army and
navy were more than 25 times as much.
The last congress appropriated more
than one billion of dollars; not one dol
lar for public highways; over $12.50
per capita; yet nothing for the great
public highways of the country.
The farmer pays more than his share
of taxes for he has visible property.
If he has an acre of land the assessor
can find it. If he has horsos they can
be counted and the pigs will squeal
when the assessor comes. In indirect
taxes he pays his full share because he

A now way to send money ia through
the newspapers, that is, by plac ng the
greenbacks inside a newspaper, wrap
ping it tightly, and mailing it carefully.
One in doing it Bhould be careful to ad
dress it very plainly, and it might be
will to have the street number on. In
the recent case ot the money sent from
Portland this did not occur and the
wrong man secured the money, and
thereby hangs atalo which is attracting
a good deal of attention. Because on
one occasion money was sent this way.

Tne President
According to the pictures President
Roosevelt is a very savago kind of a
fellow; but he is not. It ia just carica
ture. He has really hurt nolhirg. At
the sumo time he has stood for a better
m inhuod and a clean citizenship, and
this is a good deal. If he had just con
fined hill-self to this without making so
much demonstration with his big stick,
after nil only a stuffed club, it would
have been better for all.
