The mo%t elemetary principles of law making seem to have lieen disre garded. In the jiassage of any siiecial tax measure where the approxi mate deficit to be met is known, then* are four simple m pi ire intuits that are obvious: I. It should l«* determined w lie re the burden of the tax should fall. J. Based on accurate estimates, tiie law should produce the amount of revenue needed. 3. The law should In* phrased in clear unmistakable terms, ad mitting of Init one construction that will insure a minimum cost of administration, prevent confusion, and avoid useless, expensive liti gation. J. Timely. adequate provision should be made for revenue stamps, blank returns, instructions, and all other numerous details enter ii g into tiie enforcement of such a law. T1»i% administration failed on evert one of these counts. 1. I ier tiie first ess»»ntial.that of leternining where the burden • »f the tax shall fall, the democrats fl .i. lend repeatedly. They first announced tlie plat# of increasing tne income tax. and abandoned it on ii' -overmg that tinancial re t m.s w • :id be delated for month' utaier that method. Then thev t ne*i to a plan of taxing freight receipt* This was discarded with a»t--t»i':.::.g celerity. Politi al pres-ire »»• to«* great. After iAtm-r ineffectual attempts the 'V*!-‘di war stamp tax was adopted a» a liases, giving tie* country a “war tax" io time of jieace. '1.

Tliere an* conflicting provisions in tlie "war tax" as to w itrn it snail take elect. Other clauses are so obscurely phrased that it has lieen necessary to ap peal to the courts for construction. 4.

I :iis is the record which follows tlie platform promise of reduced cost of living. By throw ing Aanietn lalmr into comjie titi<*n nth Kumpean and Asiatic lsiior. tie* democratic party de prived millions of men and women in tlie I'nited States of profitable employment. At tlie same time that incomes went down or were entirely cut off. tlte cost of living wrent up. And yet republicans are asked nut to talk alniut the full dinner pfeil. JAistmaster fieneral Bjrleson says tltat tlie |x»tal deficit would liave been much greater but for t he parcel post. And it was a re publican Senate that forced the p.»st provision into the jiost office appropriation full after the demo **rslK* house had refused to take sig-h action. A repuhlican presi dent signed tlie law. It isn’t the only instance in which republican legislation avoided part of the demo cratic disaster. Retention of part .,( the re|iub!ican Uriff on sugar a a* another big factor in pre vent ng a mneb latger ttittsu^ deficit. The balance in the general fund in the federal treasury at the close of business Saturday, June 12, was Slh.8tt.>,72<>.74, as was compared | with $l37,21o,oTl.ol on tiio cor responding date two years ago. Ti e excess of all expenditures over receipts for this fiscal year to thatdatewas$]27,32o.406.07, which was the amount of the deficit, The 4th will lie celebrated in grand style at Angier's grove on Saturday, July 3rd. All kinds of races, ball game, gun shoot and other s|M»rts. A fine program will U* given in the morning. Every lM*dy cordially invited. Sherman county has one coun try school district employing two teachers and having a ninth grade curriculum. District No. 1 north of Litchfield, voted to employ two teachers and build another r«Nim to their school house, at their meeting Monday night. Nine grades will be taught. The coun try schools in this county are pro gressing nicely and soon the children in the country will enjoy all the advantages of those in the towns. Why is ir some people always have a hammer out for this town? If other i*eople hammered them as they kn*N-k the town their wails could In* heaod clear to heaven. It is always advisable to get rid of a grouch, but it is still more ad visable to lose it in the woods in stead of sewing it broadcast in the heart of a tine community of ener getic and res|NVtable |M*ople. W e have a healthy respect and a high regard for the man or woman who has something good to say of others. We are all too prone to magnify the defects and forget the good qualities of our friends and neighbors, apparently forgetful of the fact that there is good in all |N*opIe, and that a little assistance and encouragement will ofttimes bring to the surface sterl ing qualities that have lain dor mant for many years. Speak the good word. It is very gratifying to the momljers of your city board to ob serve the loyal re.sjKtnse to our new tree ordinance. Such co-op eration on the part of the |>eople is a source of inspiration to tlie board and the trimming of the many trees has already enhanced the convenience and lieauty of the walks about town. Loup City is one of the best treed municipal ities in the state and there is no i reason why we can not expect to! take a high place as regards well: kept home grounds. While there are some tret's still in need of trimming, each day sees these low hanging branches l>eing reduced in number and we hope to have the last of them removed soon, j If those who still hesitate will note! the effect of a little work along this line we feel sure they will do it now.

Let Radcliffe Build It Be Sure of Your Plans When you get plans for the new house be sure that you under stand them thorough ly. Some builders go by rule of thumb and think that they can explain to the owner what he wants better than if they took the trouble to make a blue print of the building. It is Sure to CauseTrouble If you think you are getting one thing and the builder has a diff erent idea, and the re sult is that the work is to be done over or else you are very dis appointed in some part of your house.
