Cutting the Property Tax
EVERYONE wants lower taxe, particularly on real estate.
At the fall election a new proposal to reduce the property
tax will be presented. This is the socalled 20-mill tax limitation
amendment to the constitution.
This proposal is based upon the assumption that the way to
reduce the property tax is to reduce it. A flat reduction to 20
iuhhchiption batm mills would It is estimated, reduce the Dresent income from

become accustomed to free public schools the largest single
item in the tax budget. We have become accustomed to police
and fire protection, to paved city streets, and good country
highways, to the free disposal of sewage, and many other things
-

' these things unless we raise the money to pay for them
With the present income from the property tax this is a very
difficult thing to do. If that income is cut nearly in half, obvi
ously the maintenance of state, city and local government, as
we know it, will be impossible.
De we wish to make that sacrifice for the sake of an immedi

our schools, give up adequate police and fire protection, aban

That is what the people will have to decide when they so to
the polls and vote on this measure.
For unless some other source of revenue is found, to replace
tnis bisection of the property tax, our various forms of govern
mcnt, can't go on as they have before.

the fang marks. Make a circle of
secondary cross cuts by Inch

wouna. in these small Incisions In
ject several hundred 0. 0. (perhaps
nan a pint) or 1 per cent salt solu
tlon and apply suction over the or
iginal wound to wash out the dl
luted venom. Continue thla suction
for an hour. Every hour for 10 to
IS hours repeat the auction, using
cupping over first one Incision and
then another. For tha auction
smaU rubber bulb with Inverted glass
runnel may be used. A considerable
quantity of venom can be extracted
In this way every hour, and besides
some fluid leaks from tha wound be
tween suctions. If the swelling pro
greases, make a bracelet of V. Inch
crlas-croaa Incisions around the blith
est point of the swelling, and a new
inclalon where this fluid has col

In most cases not enough Incisions

Morphine for pain, stimulants when
indicated. Injection of lariro Quan

blood transfusion may be neceasarv

Theae Investigators have tasted aev

If you have antlvenin at hand It la
better NOT to apply a tourniquet

It enter the blood atream.
if no antlvenin is at hand (It Is
effective If given within an hour or
