While we have gone beyond the point in public activities that should be the limit for which the people have to pay In raxes, the state government has be gun to accommodate itself to the needs of the times. Service Measure of Cost. "The cost of government cannot be measured in amounts of money but should be measured by the ser vice rendered to the people in other words by what yqu get for your tax money." Many of the state activities, such at the new capitoi ana tnousanas of miles of good roads, were peti tioned for by the people themselves fcnd the state is but giving them what they asked for, the governor said. Governor McKclvic spoke In favor of a business manager to ad minister the affairs of the school districts which handle large sums of the people's money, instead or thrusting that extra burden upon those whose time is taken up with the affairs of education.

STARTS TONIGHT Wbati the matter with yourinc asked him. he always crept under the fence and stole into the field where the clover grew. And every time he came back again he looked plumper than before. "That clover's not intended for you.'" the Muley Cow told him at last. She thought that ought to be enough to stop him. Hut it made i.ot the slightest clilTcrcnce. Billy Woodchuck continued to visit the clover-patch just as often as ever. And it seemed to the Muley Cow that he stayed longer each lime he went there. ' "Something will have to be done to keep that Woodchuck boy out of our clover," she announced to the rest of th herd. "If we don't stop bun there II be no nice clover hay for us next winter. "Somebody oueht to nut a poke on hint," said the httle red cow. And everybody laughed everybody cx cent the Muley Cow. She saw notlv ing funny in the suggestion. She thought it sillv: and she said as much, too; "Who ever heard of a Woodchuck wearing a poke about his neck?" "Have you told Billy Woodchuck to keep out of the clover?" one of the Muley Lows friends inquired. "I've dropped a hint; but it seems he can't take a hint," the Muley Cow replied. "Then some one will have to speak plainly to him," the friend said. And the whole herd told the Muley Cow that she was the one to do it. because she was the oldest cow on the farm. So the next time that Billy Wood chuck hurried by on his way to the clover patch, the Muley Cow stood right in his path and stopped him. "Go back I" she said severely. "You mustn't eat any more clover. You've h.id too muh pf it already." Billy Woodchuck sat up on his bind feet and stared hard at the MuJey Cow. But he said never a word. "What's the matter with you?" she askH him. "Can't you speak when 1 Li r i t it (4a Tonight Tomorrow Fri.-S.t.
