"Women Find Clear Skin In Simple Laxative = P i . 2 -A;sense of falee modesty often ts women from admitting that many of her ills arid disordere are due primarily to constipation. But women who know themselves have learned that head- ache remedies and beautifiers only cover the trouble but do not dislodge it. What is needed is 2 remedy to move the bowels and stir up the torpid liver. An ever-increasing number of sensible women take a small dose of a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsiri and sold by druggists under that name. x Tt will save a woman from the habitual use of headache remedies, skin lotions and similar makeshifts. Once the | bowels are emptied and regulated, the headache and the , pimples and blotches disappear. It is the rational, natural m .

The‘amount of railroad taxes in lttgation maybe fairly excluded from consideration as. the tax paid now is somewhat in excess of, what has ever been paid heretofore by the railroad. Assuming that the increase ‘of 1919 over 1918 will be as great, we get ‘an increased tax burden’ of 33° 1-3 -per cent for the current year.) More Likely to Be.50 Per Cent, “The tax commission has made.a state-wide study, through ah extend- ed correspondence with levying boards of the probable 1919 local levies and I am free to confess that it seems more probable from these reports that the increased burden will be 50 per cent rather than 33 1-3 per eent. There has been little building or re- pairs during the past two years and the levy has not kept pace with the expenditures. Nearly all ocal funds are in a bad way and the deficiencies must be met and certain repairs and buildings looked after. 1 look for un- usual local, as wel as state levies this year. “The Increase of 203 per cent in the appropriations and levies for state purposes was not occa- sioned by appropriations to carry out the industrial program of the league, These appropriations, ac- cording to Mr. Baker, aggregated $687,400. This amount would have increased the state tax less than 17 Rer cent. Subtracting from the ttal ‘appropirations and levies, the industrial appropiration and the appropriation for the car line and memoriat building and we have left $6,73,281 as against $4,123,585 for 1917. This increase of 70-per cent in the state tax burden goes to already existing departments and departments created inde- pendently of the industrial com- bission.. it was in making these appropriations, for departments that the legislature showed a recklesg.. disregard for economy. The_ appropriations of many de- partments, in fact, of nearly all of the... departments; ‘have : been. doubled .and trebled. NEW OFFI.

Over-Loaked. “Mr Baker, in the statement used indefense of the appropriations made by the sitteenth legislative assembly, admits that the increase in the total tax burden for al purposes, state and local, will be 27 per cent, In this tie failed to take, into consideration the tax of 3c per aere on tilable land for the maintenance of the hail, insurance department. Adding. this, “which he conceded. to be'$900,000, we get an in- crease of about 34 ‘per. cent. + , Tt, Willsbe noted that there is a much greater increase in the, percent- age tax upom.Jand than the average increase upon all property. This is oc- casioned by. the exemption of personal property, which runs ag high as $1,600 in some instances, and the 50 per cent valuation ‘applied: genérally to: per- sonal property and some improve- mente-sin other words, it marks the Progress we have made-toward:# sin: Balance Dissipated. “The deficiency appropriation. of the regular session in 1917, the appropriations of the special ses- sion of the fifteenth assembly, and the emergency andi deficiency ap- propriations of the 1919 assembly, together with the-failure on the part of the state board of. equat- ization to: levy sufficient taxes to meet the expenditures of the state, have resulted jn dissipating the balance which usually on hand. in the general fund at this time of the year. The great bulk -| of the taxes are paid. in. Febru- ary or March. Ordinarily, there is a balance on hand April 1 of $400,000 or $500,000. This year on April. 1,. the auditor’s books. showed a balance’ of $9,369.73 and about $150,000 in. unpaid bills on hand. The fiscal year, which ends June. 30, usually finds the “bills paid: and from $3£0,000 to $600,000 of a cash balance. For instance, in 1913, the balance was $498,702;. in1914, it was $340,277; in’ 1915 it: was $395,746; in. 1916 $408,841; in 1917 $406,000; in. 1918 $316,862 and on’ April. 1, 1919 $9,- 369. Jt seenis probable that we will end the fiscal year with the general fund depleted and from $350,000 to $500,000 unpaid - bills on hand...) * . ‘ “The state is usually about six months behind with its finances. This has been the condition .for a great many years, but we now have accom- plished the feat of getting a-year -be- hind with our finances. The bulk of our taxes are collected for the cur- rent year and the general fund is practically depleted.¢ There wil be more regular taxes and the delinquent taxes and fees and other indirect in- come, but only about one-half enough to meet thé expenditures. Just how the state is to be financed for the _ next year is beyond me. It can only be done by illegally raiding the. ef- -|dowment funds—borrowing, from those funds to meet the current expenses of the state. The problem is a serious one and 1 am thankful that it rests upon other shoulders than mine. ~ “Anéther feature of the greatly increased tax burden deserving of serious consideration ‘is this: heretofore, when the taxes were paid, they were depgsited in lo- anke—this is true of both state and local) taxes—and were, Start today to buy War Savings Stamps. : « Do the cares of the day oppress you?
