BEST WISHES FOR A
Happy New Year
DR. GUY E. BREWER
Taxes re very interesting. By Sat-
urday night we are going to shell out
some good earned money for them,
Where does the money go? Inquire
nil you want too id the answers you
will receive will be as consoling and
satisfactory as the answer the little
boy receives who asks, "Where does
the little bird go?" And is told it flies
away. Along comes an election year
and the candidates assure us that if
we will please just elect them they
will run things cheaper and even tell
ns how they will do it. And we elect
them and taxes go on climbing higher.
When the political campaign opens
the candidate will try to show that he
ran his office cheaper than it ever was
run. That Is what, they alwayB do.
One taxpayer who lives out along a
section Hue while politely cussing the
other day remarked, "How iu t
did they run things years ago before
the Inrd was deeded and all they could
tax wan a handful of personal proper-
ty and sod houses
Speaking of the higher taxes County
Assessor Shockley says: "The amount
raised in (iarlield county this year(1915)
exceeds the amount raised l"st year
(1914) by 8143,216.02, an average in-
crease oi 35 per cent" From our as-
sessors figures we learn, that Garfield
county raised this year over last year
STti,814.24 more state tax, 952,368,10
more county, township, and city tax.
aud .314,039 29 more school tax. The
total amount of the 1915 Garfield
county taxes aru (only) 8546,817 44
Pin the following to your tax receipt:
The county tax last year .was 2.2 mills
and this year was 3 0 mills. The state
tax last year was 1.3 mills aud this
year was 3 5 mills.

As was predicted when the change
to automobiles was made in the rural
mail servise there is a great deal of
dissatisfaction all over the country.
The change in the routes has the same
effect elsewhere that it has here aud
is causing many patrons to get their
mall one day late besides other incon-
veniences caused by the long routes
which carriers have to serve.
The change was doubtless made
with good intentions but there has
never been a more serious blunder
made by our pos'al department. Our
rural mail service has been the great-
est service which our government has
performed lor the farmers and that
service has now been badly crippled
Now is the time to cause the au-
thorities to feel the weight of public
opinion and the way to do this is to
bring all possible influence to bear on
the government Those who are dis
satisfied with the present service
should take pains to let their senti-
ment be known. A personal letter or
a petition to your congressman or

THE SPEKD MAM AC
All men should lift their feet and
kick against the cheerful lunatic, who
gives his car no end of power, and
burns up sixty miles an hour. We can
see him wbiz by our abodes; we meet
him on the couutry roads; he Kills our
geese and cats and dogs, and spoils our
Poland China hogs. We are with ter-
ror stricken dumb, when we behold
the monster come, and climb a tree a
furlong high, to save ourselves till he
goes by. He scorches through the
country town, and rung the leading
grocer down, and scars the local mer-
chant prince, and no regret does he
evince Then comes a driver safe and
sane, who lias not speed upon the
brain; he ambles by the village tower
at fifteen modest miles an hour. The
villagers are sad and sore; they've
found that speeding is a bore, and now
they're looking for a goat; they seize
that driver by the throat, and take
him to the donjon keep, where he may
gnash his tee th and weep. They flat1
him forty-seven whefls, wsth trin.-
mings added, so be feels, when he's
permitted to withdraw, there surely
ought to be a law. This happens every
day or three; the criminal too oft. guts
free, while motorist who'n riot offend,
must pay the fiddler in the end.
