Lower Taxes Less Legislation “Lower taxes and less legislation” is the slo- gan adopted by the Ohio farmers. Who will deny that it is not a good country-wide slagon? Who will say that it does not strike at the two greatest evils of our time? r Government is not only running away with it- self it is running away with the people and their substance as well. If our system is wrong let’s change it our- selves and not wait for the rebellion of the peo- ple against it, which event bas been smouldering for a long time and is bound to break out when we least expect it. “ Expense or higher taxes is a natural corallary to volume of legislation, for very few statutes are passed that do not involve expenditure in some form. And since in government from mu- nicipalities to the federal government there is no other source of revenue than the pockets of the people, all of 1t must come from the people. With city councils, state legislatures and con- gress all diving into the people’s pockets and re- moving therefrom at will ,is it any wonder that the Ohio farmers have come to life and ex- pressed a desire for less legislation and lower taxes? Quite naturally the ple of the country want to accumulate something more than a mere liv- ing and enough to settle with the treasurer. They want to add to their own and the country’s wealth. They will never be able to do this so slong as taxes take so largo a toll of what they ‘are able to gather together. The direct or indirect taxes paid by the people are a shame to any civilized country, however rich we may boastfully claim it to be. Government must come back to earth. When every eleventh person in the population is draw- {mg a public salary the thing is growing top heavy. Throughout the whole range of govern- mental activity in the United States there is an ever-increasing element of bureaucracy. Boards, commissions and bureaus multiply everywhere, with their jobs, salaries and expense. It goes without saying that multitudes of these offices and hordes of the public officials they emplo; are useless, so far as the people are concerne Thus our governments—federal, state, muni- cipal, county and _ precinct—are honeycombed th activities and agencies that perform no vital service, but which, nevertheless, add heay- ily to the burdens of the taxpayers. The most helpless victims of the legislative and bureaucratic systems as practiced, are the farmers. It is rather the popular thing to lay the blame upon the politicians who have been placed in positions of power and given the authority to ote public money and taxes upon the people. To a great extent the claim is true, but the peo- ple themselves are equally to blame in sending the character of men they do to city councils, state legislatures and to the federal congress. While it may be said in behalf of the last sev- eral congresses that an honest effort has been made and has been to a great extent successful in retrenchment and economy, still congress is the same old statute factory as of yore, which detracts from the entire success as a tax reduc- er it would be possible for it to be. There must be a closer examination into the character and ability of all men who are elected to public office where such men will have pow- er over public expenditures. It is high time the people were having an in- ning in the game, and they may take the blame for conditions if they fail to assert themselves. Co-Operation in Law Enforcement In entering a plea for the co-operation of fed- eral, state, county and municipal authorities in the enforcement of the prohibition laws, as well as all laws, Commissioner Haynes has touched upon the only system that will bring success. He also would include the people themselves in this concerted effort. If the power of these forces, all working to- gether could be gotten underway short work would be made of law violations. It is not one of the impossibilities. It seems to need only an arousing or awakening to some realizing sense of whither the country is drifting. No need to tell sensible folks that the advice is not good, or that it cannot be carried into ex- ecution. Neither is it worth while to say that any considerable number of people desire the present situation, or desire a return to the old free and loose days of public drinking, any more than it is to try prove to us that the man who has fallen into a hog wallow and has been rescued and given a bath and clean clothes, has any consuming desire to repeat the experi ence. Tt is a trite saying that you cannot legislate morality into the citizen by statute Neither ear you. but you can establish the virtue of the stat ute in the minds of sensible citizens and then you can put the fear of the statute into the oth- ers who violate their citizenship and the trust placed in them by the statute, by a concerted and co-operative movement such as suggested by Commissioner Haynes. When the authorities lay off on enforcement the law violatérs are bound to increase and grow bold, because of the easy revenue to be gained by the traffic, but with a marshaling of the 7 ly issued every evening and4/ forces the commissioner suggests, with earnest- ery Sunday, at Casper,| ness and determination back of such a movement coming.

Are With Him Any propaganda from irresponsible or radical sources to the effect that the farmers of the country are disappointed in the message of Pres- ident Coolidge can be denounced as false. On the contrary, as shown by the unanimous action of the National Association of Commissioners of Agriculture taken in Washington following the mmission of the message to congress, commend. ing the constructive recommendations of the president in his discussion of agricultural prob. lems, the farmers believe that given time, he will lead them out of the wilderness. Accordingly they will give him their sympathies, their good will, co-operation and support. Somebody Remiss in Duty Testimony was brought out during the Okla- homa legislative impeachment of Governor J. C. Walton that the Reliance Shirt company donat- ed five thousand dollars to the campaign of Goy- ernor Walton and a like sum to the campaign |* fund of George F, Short, candidate for attorney General. There is nothing wrong with the Reliance peo- ple donating money to whom they please so long as it is done within the law. The matter is only brought to public attention because of the fact that this same outfit ev- joys a prison contract with the state of Wyo- ming and is employing prison labor in their out- put. It is presumed that they also have a sim- ilar contract with the state of Oklahoma. Will someone kindly glance at recent e accounts of Wyoming candidates and Year whether any similar donations appear. If not somebody has been remiss in the collection of campaign war funds. Is it not about time that Governor Pinchot came forward with another communication on the coal question. None has arrived in a week and the weather is not to be relied on at this time of year. The promise of prosperity for 1924 may be a parting gift from 1923. Let us hope so, and that just fifty per cent of the present prophesies are realized. That would be good enough. Just take the largest bill you have in your purse and go Christmas shopping and see how quickly it melts. Only seven days more. Have yon done it early 5 or are you a laggard in a good cause? __There seems to be no need of President Cool- idge’s formal announcement for the presidency. Tt seems to folks at a distance that the announce- ment has been in the way of making ever since he assumed the office. Tf there is any dispute as to he center of pop- wation of the United States of America, the dis- putants are referred to the arena of any nation- ally advertised prize fight, except Shelby, Mont., or the stadium in any old football game. If congress does not do something to justify the faith in it the president has expressed, it at least can do nothing and adjourn, swhich would be just as satisfactory ~ ~ ~~~ ~ Epitomizing the Message | sionally indulged in by all but only when told to injure some one; ee eerie seer tote rigte.to ests,” does Cordell Hull mean the the country, shows a general recog- od . | wants to reduce?—New York Herald. ———————— his way of stating them.
