Tim FAJICK CONTINUED
Press dispatches again announce
that "Consideration of waterpowcr
legislation before the senate -will be
taken up following disposition of
railroad legislation. The proposition
Is the same which has met with op-
position of conservationists for many
years past. Terms of tho bill would
open the entire west to development
of Its vast wasting waterpowers."
The public has llltlo faith in such
statements as the samo promise has
been made for ten years and never
yet has a leader been found In con
tress with sufficient understanding
of the case and courage enough to
show the hypocraey and self Interer-t
of the so-called "constrvatlonlst" sag
which has been abel to fool the pub-
lic and delay development of wasting
waters when the world Is crying for
fuel heat light and power.
Delayed development duo tn unlit I.
cat rag chewing has been a crime
against the nation and when the pub-
lic finally realizes this It will thank
the mac who breaks the combination
and succeeds In epenlng for develop-
ment the vast areas In tho west.
Oil lands arc tied up In the same
manner as water-powerfor polltl-
cal purposes whllo the world cries
for more petroloum products.
TAX EXEMPTION BAD.
There Is being built up in tuc
United States a system of tax exemp-
tion which is costing the people
dearly.
Every security or property that is
exempt from taxation means double
taxes on some other property.
The Federal Faim Bank idea is a
political proposition alone socialistic
lines. Tho theory Is that the govern-
ment can loan money better than pri-
vate Interests and furnish farmers
money at 6 1-2 per cent Instead of 6
I per cent or 7 per cent irom private
i sources but balance of community
must pay a heavier income tax to
rnako up what should be paid by th?
hcldors of tax exempt federal land
nnk bonds.
I Thu- private banking Interests must
I meet ruinous ana umuir cumucimuu
'aiwl Industry and the general public
miwt make up millions in taxes auc
to lors on tax exempted bonds tatied
for the benefit of a limited number of
bouowcM at a low rate of interest.
If one class of property is rcll-Kcil
from taxation it to the same extent
ailiU tf- the taxes borne by other jnvp-
crty. The expense of government
must bo met and taxes arc appor-
tioned to the person and property sub-
ject to taxation.
Without tax exemptions the fed-
eral Land Hanks could not loan money
to a privileged few at lower than
current interest rates.

"I wonder'' queried Helen. "If nn-
Inxly really cts the rewards offered

wurlil might to be rich If people got
the niinu-y offered for criminal. lot
person run! stolen Jewelry. Here's n

men and robbing n bank. There's a
thousand dollar' reward for him. I
wish we could get It don't your
"VIh It?" sighed Altnee crumbing
the little lable and setting down
three saucers of puildln. "Yn I do."
The slsrers looked at each other nnd
then at JJob. bo wok too busy hunting
for fat raMn to bother with the no-
tions of big girl. His recent lllnes
bad left hltn with an apatite efii
more rcmarkuhle than before and he
wax the tronget heallhle-U loo'tl.ig
boy In the world only ngulnst the
rocter leaned a crutch. That was why
the girls hail the same thought. A
thniMand dollars would do so much I
"I wonder" Helen went back to the
paper "bow people ratcb rrlnilunlK?
Here's his picture and description live
feet eleven Inches high dark brown
hair gray eyes weight one hundred
and cveiity-lhree ixiund. They think
be Is In lhl city."
"Hut Hint might be nnjbody" put
In Aiinee.
"Jut wait n minute." went 611 Helen.
"Triangular scar on left side of chin
square jaws mole on buck of right
band."
"I'll put on my hat when the dlhes
are done. He'd be hard to miss miw"
laughed her sister.
The train was full the next evening
when Helen got on. However she
managed to squeeze Into n small space
In the foremost seat that faced the
other nneiigers.
IXiwn the aisle rows of 'cotiuiiuten
were hurled in the etching papers mid
Helen studied the passengers with In-
terest finding diversion In the fact that
most of them looked as 1 1 red its six-
felt. Then suddenly she gave n grts-ji
of amazement for her eyes had discov-
ered a face that somehow looked famil-
iar. On a Arm chin between two
square-set Jnws was n triangular scar
that showed nn nngry red ngnlnst an
otherwise rather pale complexion.
Helen's eyes leaped from one feature
to the other gray eyes brown hair
rather tall she Judged. There was
no mlstuke about It; bhe had found
him.
"Oil. Hobby" her thoughts flew to
her brother "won't It be wonderful If
we get the wnrd and tnkc you out
lo Doctor Taylor. wlire you can have
proper treatment J"
Suddenly Helen realized that her
prey wns looking nt her. She ihirled it
quick glance at him then away burn-
ing a furious red at her folly for the
man discovering further Interest on
her part In himself and Ills belongings
smiled nmusedly.
And then fate upon whom she had
culled came to her nld most gloriously
albeit a bit roughly. There was n
grinding nnd splintering of glass ami
something hit Helen on the bnck of the
head. Things went out for aw Idle ami
when her senses came buck he was
outside somewhere In the Mimv. Then
she realized thnt a man was trying to
innkH her swallow something. After
that' her head cleared rapidly and she
tried to sit up.
"That's splendid 1" said the man. "l)o
you think you can stand? If you tell
me where you live we can get you
home."
Helen now keenly alive to every-
thing realized that her benefactor was
the criminal.
"Thank you" she said steadily. "I
guess I nm abb' to go now If tin-
car Is ready. Won't won't you come
tool"
"I was going to nsk you If I might."
And In n few minutes fhey were at
her door. "Won't you come In and get
wnfmV" asked Helen. The time had
come for the grand roup.
Helen led tilni Into the living room.
Then excusing herself for a minute
she went out nnd locked the door
Atmee and Ilohhie had heard nnd
wcrs In the hall.
"Sh " whispered Helenv "i'v got
him thP murderer he's In the living
room. Think of Itl I'm going to tele-
phone for the police right away."
Hut while (he girls were nt the
phone Hobble's curiosity got thu bet-
ter of him. He went quietly to the
door turned the key nnd stuck In his
head.
"How diil you kill them both?" he
asked curiously "Is Hint tho money?"
nodding townrd the hag.
"Thn nisn laughed. "On you think
I'm Captain Kldd? Come here littte
man." " .
"No. hut sister said you were the
man the papers (old about nnd she
needed the reward. She'll be sorry."
"I'm afraid she will. Hut 1 don't
try tn kill jieople. It's my business lo
patch tlmn up. I help little boys like
ynu to throw nway their crutches."
"Wlmt's your name?" asked Hobble.
"Mnrshnll J. Taylor at your service
sir!"
Helen and Almee- who had tiptoed
in the doorway were aghast. They bud
heard It all.
"The doctor I" Helen almost sobbed
and going Into the room she said
qnlckly: "It's all true what Hobble
told you. 1 was hunting the criminal
to get reward to make Hobble well. 1
was going to take him to you."
"We'll make Hobble well" nnswered
Doctor Taylor "and some day " he
paused "maybe you can pay me but
not In money."
