TAXES EVER INCREASING.
men I. sell thdr holdings and go
where taxes are lens burdensome.
In view of the present extrava
gant ideas and visionary scheme*
people should think seriously liefore
they authorize lhe limit of indebt
edness to be raised from 2 to 4 per
cent on lax valuations
Wo are
trying to go too fast and the 2 per
cent aafety valve should I* held
onto with grimneM.
Of course paved roads, fine pule
lie buildings, etc., are very nice and
to those who pay but small if any
taxes seem absolutely necessary.
Yet we had better do with fewer of
them* things than to incur a tax bur
den which will become a block to
progress.

ARE GETTING SCARED
(‘«»ngresamen during the holiday
reress are learning a few things.
They are hobnobbing with th«-ir eon-
stitucncies and they have found out
that the pig«-onh<»ling of the treaty
ami covenant of the league of na
tions was a most unwise thing ti
do. They find that among the peo-
pie a vast majority want th«- treaty
ratified.
Our republican friends
find that all other legislation pales
into insignificance when compared
with th* importance of a workable
covenant and league among the na-
i tlons of the world.
