If OUR railroads bad been taxed no more heavily than ths Canadian railroads, they could have hauled FOR NOTHTNO all our grain, all our floor, all our livestock and ALL THE MAIL and still have bad left 3100,000,000 a year more than they actually DID have left after paying taxes at the American rate. Here la a little angle on farm re lief that Is worth some thought. 4 IIOW can anyone be an optimist In the face of these conditions? Well, here Is the only answer: This tremendous burden of taxation has been placed upon us because we have been not only willing but EAGER to bear the load. , We have VOTED FOR THS MEN Who have brought about this enor mous Increase of taxes, we have APPROVED expansion of government. Candidates have said to us In their platforms: "I helped to bring about this great. Increase In the functions of government, with Its accompany ing Increase in cost," arid we have applauded and sent these candidates back to do more of It. OUMMINO up, the cost of govern ment has grown to staggering proportions because we, the people, have been not only willing but en thusiastic. We Have rewarded with our votes the men who INCREASED the cost of government. We have got behind and pushed. Bo It follows that If we ' change our way of thinking and DISAP PROVE Increases In ths cost and ths burdens of government. If we vote down the men who want to spend more and vote for the men who want to spend less, we can change ail this condition which Is becoming so burdensome. It lent as If we were helpless, for ws AREN'T. We have in our own hands ths remedy we seek. This writer Is optimistic enough to believe we will USE this remedy. "Grandma Northern" Dies.

TO DO WITH RAIN PARIS, Oct. 7, (UP) The Abbe Moreau, director of the Observatory of Bourges, and famous as a prophet of good and erU days, has declared that the influence of the moon was practically negligible in its effects on the weather. , "The moon bas no connection with changes In the atmosphere, which causa areas of depression, winds, rains and the extremes of tempera ture,' the Abbe said; "all that It affect on earth Is the rising and falling tides." The venerable Abbe asserted, how ever, that both the anclenta and not a few modern students believe that there are Indications given by the moon which bear a close rela tion to weather prediction. We only have to cite the words of General Bugeaud, the conqueror of Isley, contained in one of his letters dated November 39. 1841," the Abbe pointed out. "General Bu geaud wrote, 'Eleven times out of twelve, the weather during any lu nar month can be judged by the 5th day; that is. If the 8th day re sembles the 6th, and It being clear. the rest of the month will be more or less the same. If the 6th day is compared to the 4th day, the pre diction comes true' nine times out of twelve.' The Abbe Moreau observed, how ever, tbat not only General Bugeaud wrote of this prediction, but said that It was known to the ancients, particularly to Virgil, who had men tioned It in the first book of his Georglcs. The ancients believed that the 4th day of the new moon was indicative and they believed It was an infal lible sign, based on long observation. Pliny the Klder wrote, according to Abbe Moreau, "In Egypt ' it is observed that the 4th day of the new moon must be taken as an in dication. If the lunar body shows Itself clear on the fourth day, fine weather will continue throughout the month.' . TUSKO'S BOARD BILL AT SALEM. Ore., Oct. 7. (AP) Denial that Tusko, mammoth elephant brought to the state fair last week, had been left on the state's hands as a permanent ward at cost to tax payers, was made last night by Max Gehlhar, state fair director.

' Sstllck denied the reports yester day and Gehlhar said he had bean paid In full for all concession and feed oh-rges. ,, Kansans Visiting Central Point Kin Mrs. M. J. Poster and son, Thos, A.
