A so-called people's" paper takes a number of "corporations" to task, for announcing that thev intend to fight any increases in taxation at el ections two years hence This papei leaves the im-ression with its read ers that a con-oration is virtually in the criminal c'.av for fighting against taxation which is threatening to con fiscate it property. It is such metropolitan yellow journalism as this that we have to think for the rapid growth of our tax bill. These papers fool the public by savins : 'Let the corporations pay." But who pays the corporations in or der that it mav pav its taxes? No one but the "people." Let the people get this idea clear ly in their heads, taxation is part of the cost of doing business which the ultimate consumer must pav. It makes no difference in what form it is collected, the man who makes the last purchase pays the total tax. If a few common citizens would join with the corporations which are condemned for fighting against con fiscation of their property through taxation, we would have better ad ministration of state and national1 governments and our tax bill would bepin to decrease instead of constant ly increasing. 1 ,t should be.

Run, Sam'l, run! The, annual school meeting was held on .Monday and officers chosen to serve District No. I for another year. At this meeting the report of the district clerk revealed a total ex penditure for the year of S39.SS0.93. This sum is a little below the amount provided for in the budget and would show that expenses have been con servative. The largest item of ex pense, necessarily, is for the teaching force, and this amounted to $21, 668.9S. Another item was the clear ing up cf some indebtedness against the district which required $1 1 .540. 46. But a small portion of the taxes have yet been paid, and this item of resources came in so slowly that it was necessary to borrow heavily to carry on the work. When taxes are fully paid in the fall all borowed money should be paid and the finan cial condition of the district placed in cood shape. Under the new law it will be necessary to hold the bud get meeting at a later date, and in making up the budget or the voting of any tax on the district, it will be necessary for the board to call in three taxpayers of the district to as sist them in the work.

Sick. , Now Is the Time to Run Comrade Vanderlip, the Los An geles traveling salesman for bolshev lsm, has again flitted back from Kus sia, where he was royally entertained oy Comrade Lenine. On a previous visit to the land of starvation, he was promised about half of Eastern Si cena if he would make President Harding and Secretary Hughes be good to communism. He didn't get anywhere. Now he returns with the statement that the Russian government has of fered to the United States the two best sea bases that Russia owns on her Pacific shore, all for nothing and to hold forever and eternity. We may very well loiter in a field with i raging bull. We may very well stand in the path of a tornado for the sake of seeing how a tornado performs its labors. We may very well lean over the edge of a Vesuvius on the eve of a dreadful eruption. But when Russia comes offering friendship and gifts, it is time to turn and run like blazes! Because, as we all know, the national history of that country of the East is one long story of the most shocking deceit and treachery. Whenever it suits her purpose Rus sia has never hesitated to turn from her friend in direst need, -and become his deadly enemy. At least three times in 150 years she has been guil ty before the whole world of the most astounding perfidy, and always at the moment when her allies were in their Any man who is engaged in a nec essary and useful line of work is a producer. Society at present is a com plex organization and it is necessary that there be dvision of labor. With out it civilization would not be what it is. Each man would have to go out w ith a club and kill his meat for dinner or eo hunery. It is true that in certain lines of work a man may be more useful than his fellows in a less essential calling, but it is often hard to tell who serves the best.
