FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1917.
The Tax Dodgers Win. The state supreme court in a decision returned Friday, . June 13th, held that the bill passed by the last general assembly, pro-. viding for a eortstitional convention to be held next January, is
unconstitutional. The courc in holding unconstitutional the law which provided for a constitutional convention to amend the outworn constitution has blocked the way to the rule of the' people It has blocked the way to a modern government to deal tith pressing industrial problems. The need for constitutional revision amounts to an emergency, Tax reform, home rale for cities, court reform tnese needs are vital and pressing. The presant constitution seems to have been written in the interest of the tax dodger Under its administration the rich are
enab ed to escape their just bur- j
den of taxes and as the result the poor householder tas to pay an increased rax burden. Ask any County Treasurer for the past twenty years in Dubois county and they will tell you, one and ail, that the poor mvu pays the tax and che rich escape. We believe that the office of ail Assessors should be abolished, because we do not believe; any man has a right t tell "'another man what his prooerty is worth. Make every m in his own Assessor; and r.i make it manditory of theC -an.y Commissioners to sell any property for 10 per cent more than it is assessed for. All notns, accounts, and all mortgages not listed, between the 1st of January and 1st of March; when the assessment list must be filed; are paid or null and void. iVith that law in the constitution Everybody will p?,y his just share of taxes and all in the same proportion. The tax Duplicate of Dubois county will be increased five times what it is now and the levy correspondingly reduced. The present constitution makes liars and perjurers of all taxpayers in their own self defence. As for woman suffrage, in fifty years of newspaper work
we have always found that the! average woman had as much j sense'as the average man. As! they eat the same food, breathe!
Ulc baliltJ an ana luv oaiuc ic quirements are necessary to the comfort of both sexes, as God has not discriminated in giving His gifts to either, we cannot
see why men should- Women are entitled to the ballot, and they cannot possible use it more j foolishly than some men we know of have. As for the prohibition ! question, several years residence I in prohibition sta:es has convinc-. ed us of its fallacy. As long as j alcohol is found in the apple, the peach and the grape, so iong it ! will remain a pleasure to the strong, a temptation to the weak.
Publishing a newspaper is not easy. Much woe is caused, however, becr e it "'looks easy." Very fe men there are who do not consider themselves competent to conduct a newspaper. Ther6 is the rub. If the average man really understood how much harder it is to make a success in the newspaper business than it really seems, there would be fewer poor newspaprrs in the country. Not all successful publish ers have been well educated in the business prior to entering the field for themsel ves, but the many have11 Do It Now" Subscribe for the Jasper Weekly Courier, Don't put off for toaorrow what you can do today.

The Kaiser's Dream. There's a story now current, though strange it ma seem, Of the great Kaiser Bill and his v.ondeiful dream. Being tired of the Allies, he lay down in b?d. And amongst other things, he dreamt he was dead. And in a fine coflm was lying in stat, With a gaurd of brave Belgians, who lamented his fate. He wasn't long deod till he found to his cost. That his soul, like his eoldierp, had surely been lost. On leaving the earth to Heaven he went straight, And arriving up theie gave a knock at the cate. But St. Peter looked out and in voice loud and clear, Said: "Begone, Kaiser Bill, we don't want you here." "Well," said trie Kaiser, "that's very uncivil, I suppose after that I must go to the devil." So he turned on hia heels and off he did
(Advertisement.) Evaosville Misrepresents Jacob Gfootecii Two days before the close of the campaign for the EvansviJle-Oolleg an article appeared in the Evansville Courier quoting Mr Jacob Gronbach very strongly in support ol the Evansville College. Mr. Uronbaeh's signed deni.' was immediately ulaeed in the hands of th" three EvansVille dailies. The Press
lutb'icbed it; the Courier and Journal News di i nor.
In jastice to Mr. Cronbach and in the
interests of lair play the article and the
reply are printed in this paper
''Mr. Gronbfcch of M . Vernon, the
man who gave the $100,000 agricultural school to Oakland City college, in dis
cussing the campaign to bring Mooren
Hill college to Evansville, told Presi
dent A. r. Hughes of Mo re3 Hill col
lege that he hoped the campugn woul i
succeed. It will be a fine tlrng, he said when a college is locate 1 at Evansville,
and expressed himself as believing
Evansville a solendid place for a college
He said he would do anything he could
for the college, including coming here
to give lectures to the students." Evansville Courier.
"Relative to the interview appearing in the Evansville Courier of July 16, and quoting me as supporting the -ampaigu
lor the J&vauGville College, 1 beg io say that the statements assigned to me are entirely misleading and wholly misrepresent my attitude toward the enterprise. In courtesv, I agreed to address their students if invited to do so. Otherwise I expressed no personal sentiment for ..tlrj Evansville CoIips: In fact, in general I am heartily in lavor of placing colleges in small townsm prelerence t'j large cities and in particular I am heart and soul in favor of tie Oak land City College, to which I have given my financial supp rt after earefYil personal investigations. In company with many others 1 disapprove most stronglv
the methods used from the beginning in
the campaign for the Evan?vide College
of which this purported interview is a
fair sample. I declined to take any part
in the Evansville campaign.

wiih dismay, When wait ine outside he heard
Nick say To hia imps: "Now look here boys.
ßivo you a warning, I'm expecting the Kaiser down here in the morniDg, But don't let him in, for to me it's quiet clear. He's a dangerous man and we don't want him here. If once he gets in there'll be no end of quarrels, In fuel, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our good morals." "O, Satan, my dear friend," the Kaiser then cried , "Excuse me for listening while waiting OJtSlde. If you don't admit rae where can I go?" "Iudeed," said the devil, "I really don't know." "Oh, do let me in, I'm weary and cold" Said tne Kaiser, puite anxious to enter Nick's fold. 'Let me st in a corner, no matter how hot." "N)!" said the devil, "inost coitainly not. We don't admit people for riches or pelf; Here are sulphur and matches, make a hetl f.r yourself." Then he kicked Wilheim out and vanished in smoke, And just at that moment the Kaiser awoke. He jumpe 1 out of bed i'i a shivering And said: "Well that dream I shall never forget. That I won't so to Heaven I know very well. But it's renllv too bad to be kicked ou of hell?'
VTe have the assurance of Dr. Woods Hutchinson, writing in the World's Work, that the death rate from tuberculosis has declined 10 per cent, in the decade which means a saying of 15,000 to 20,000 lives a ypar in the United States. The infant mortality rate is falling with equal rapidity, which mean3 annually a saving of 20,000 babies from those Herods of the twentieth century the little fevers of childhood, dirty milk and overcrowding. The death rate in all of out great cities is being steadily beaten down to a lower and lower level every year. The advance census reports show a lower national death rate than ev.er before by nearly 10 per cent. The fight against tuberculosis is steadily" becoming more and mora 6 fight for better housing, more playgrounds, better food and more of it, shorter hours of work, decent and civilized shops, workrooms and factories, higher wages, better education in the laws of health. "We have laid the bugbear of its transmission by meat and milk, and are concen-
i trating our fire upon the place where
the bacillus breeds the infected house or tenement room. The place where we look for new cases of tuberculosis is in the same house with the old ones. We must break this link in the chain if ever we are to wipe out consumption. From 30 to 50 per cent, of the children in the tenements living in the same household with a case of tuberculosis are found to. be already infected with tho disease

The Center of Grain Production. The figures of the last census, when compared with those of the previous census reports back in 1850, indicate that the movement of the production of grain under natural conditions has reached its western limit Since 1850 the "median point" (center) of production of the six great crops corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, and buckWheat was about 20 miles westsouthwest of Burlington, Iowa; but its western movement in the last ten years was comparatively very smalL It remains to ba seen whajt effect the great irrigation work now planned by tho government wlH have upon the location of tho creat grain üel&s oi the conn try.
