AM INHUMAN
VEVER have we heard of a more inhuman attitude assumed '
i . by anyone than that of the local officials of the reclamation j
service yesterday when they refused to close the headgates of j
the main canal in order that human life might be saved or, i
failing this, then to recover the body of the victim. The horror !
of ft all shocked the community. . The bitterness of the de-i
nunciation that was heaped upon the heads of those responsible ;
for the callous refusal to stay the flow of water for a brief per- j
iod, was wwl earned by those against whom it was directed, i I

set of men who would be guilty of such shocking inhumanity? in the proposal of Congressman Rob
The reason' advanced for their refusal is that it would ruin the i rl Crosser of Cleveland, Ohio, j
farmers if the water were shut off. This is the first time we ; He would have the government do'
have ever heard of their having any consideration for the farm-'for the straggling householder what;

crats following the fall of the Russian empire. Their rule of
'conduct was the came as that adopted by the local government
officials in the action of yesterday. It is typical of the bureau

city, his incompetency, his inefficiency.
This is further emphasized by the condition of the canal with
in the city limits. Instead of being fully protected by proper
fencing, it lies wide open as a menace to life and property. No
better evidence of the curse of the reclamation service to this
community is needed than an inspection of the bridges that
have been placed across the canal by the reclamation service

DON'T SIGN 'EM
For the past week it has been impossible to pass up or down
Main street without having a petition shoved under your nose
asking for your signature. One set of petitions is for an In
come tax, with a property set-off, another1 is for a tax on trucks,
another is for something else. Don't sigh any of them, and if
they get on the ballot in November, kill all of them. , .
In the first place, if the people refuse to vote the official tax
eaters more money, they will have none to spend. Already
the people of the state are ridden to death with taxes. You
never hear of any effort upon the part of the powers that be,
trying to reduce the state payroll, but you will always hear
them spouting about the necessity for increased expenditures.
The time has come when the people should be heard, about
stopping the wild orgy of spend, spend, Spend. Our theory
is that the increase in the value of property by reason of the
growth of the state is sufficient to take care of the increased
cost of administration. If it is not, then let those in power
cut their clothes according to the cloth.' :
Let every voter refuse to vote a dollar of increased taxation
of any kind for the state or county. They now have more than
they should. Don't sign any petitions calling for the levying of
any kind of an additional tax. If it gets on the ballot, vote
"no" when you get the opportunity. If this rule is followed for
awhile we will soon be back to that "normalcy" that we have
heard so much about.
