I the control of such affairs been in home, the work would have been I completed by this time but when we have to go through with a lot of red tape and make a half dozen trips to Indianapolis, it takes time and money. If there Is any benefit except to those who hold the fat jobs it has not become evident up to this time. Mr. Mote's explanation of the taxes of Harrison township, Vigo county, whore the citizens asked the state to quit “cheating children.” is almost as lucid as the tax law itself. Care-1 ful perusal of it eveals that the reason the tax board did not grant more money for school purposes was be-, cause the township already had plenty of money and the reason the ■ township hasn't plenty of money is

. because it will require more money . to run the schools. Os course, the reader should view Mr. Mote's exi planation with due charity. In the first place he has a very poor subject on which to exercise his judicial mind. In the second place his long training as a “single-taxer” is hard to I eliminate even when the republican J committee engages him to eliminate lit On the whole we must confess that Mr. Motes writings relative to the tax law are not nearly as enter-' taining as his writings relative to public utilities before Gov. Goodrich made a place for him with the utility! commission. We refer especially to, certain articles in Pearson’s wherein 11 he laid the greater part of the blame ; I for higher taxes in the “robbery of j

Negotiations to prevent a strike failed The state, by proclamation of Governor Frazier took over operation of the mines. Today league leaders say there has been "so much profiteering” in coal that they will be able to meet the situation “without losing a cent.” and probably make a profit without increasing the cost of coal to the consumer. $ $ $ S—WANT ADS EARN—S $ $ $
