can taxes be reduced and surely that's what we all want to see done.

the Jackson car, the horse became a
bit frightened and crowded over

Lincoln Telephone ft Telegraph Co.
to Make Payments on Rentals
on Monthly Basis.
Making telephone service more
convenient for the subscriber is one
o fthe chief alms of the Lincoln

was the statement made by C. II.
Jensen, manager of the company

convenient for them to pay for their I
telephone rental and toll service once I

changed its collection method from
a quarterly to a monthly basis," Mr.
Jensen said.
According to Mr. Jensen, the prac

Instead of continuing to merely
protest existing conditions, Mr.
Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State,
has leached a determination that
either slavery must be ended in the
tiny African Republic or its Presi

his office.
Prospects of success in stamping
out slavery are enhanced by a report
that the Firestone Rubber Company
is now willing to permit Liberia to
complete a $5,000,000 loan hitherto

Liberia:! Government when the slav

IJaiclay, him.iclf the son of another
former President, who signed the
international report disclo.-ing the
existence of slavery, assumed office

able the Liberian Government to
hire European inspectors and sani

scourges of slavery and yellow
fever.
Mr. Stimson decided on a firmer
stand against continuance of the
slavery traffic, following reports
from the American legation in Mon

steadily worse, instead of showing
