OFFICIAL SAYS TAXES SHOULD NOT BE PAID BY PUBLIC UTILITIES (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 28. Theoretically the public utilities should pay no taxes of any kind. Fielder Sanders, former street railway commissioned of Cleveland, told the American Electric Railway association here to day. "Organized for nubile service, carry ing out rs truly governmental func tions as the furnishing ol dlnklng wa ter cleaning of streets and the various health protections of our cities, they should be under no more burdens than the accepted governmental agencies,' he said". " "The street railway renders indespenslble service to the city. Pos sibly the greatest 6lngle public serv ice. Upon it depends largely all busliness activities, for no business can flourish to which access Is alow and difficult. No higher public accomplish ment for the welfare of the city can be imagined. The success of the rail way in carrying out its public service is the gain of the public. . Its problems are more the city's problems than Its own. "We may hope that some day the light will shine upon all our legislators and the exemption of all utilities from all taxation become a thing of being, It might not be amiss while we are hoping, to do a little work along these lines. Utilities as well as Individuals are saved not only by faith and hope, but by works. s Victims of Opposite "Unfortunately the utilities have

fallen before the opposite point of. , view; that they should pay all, or at! Raymond Daugherty of Economy, least a major part of the taxes, to the picked up eight chickens on a side trip relief of everybody also. There is notaken from a stalIed traia lag(. Thurg

"In New York, where progress is being made in legislative halls in public utility matters, complete revision of the state's tax laws, to lift the burden from the public utilities was recommended Jan. 25. 1922 by the legislative committee on taxation. "That these unfair taxation burdens are paid by the car riders is too axiomatic to discuss, and yet, from my own experience of six years as a public official in your particular line, 1 have found it the hardest single thing to drive home to the public We know they are, and take it for granted that everyone else knows as much about it as we do. That Isn't so. The car riders do not know it. "The public forgets that the street railway has no magic way of raising money. Its income is through the fare box only. These taxes are as truly paid by the passengers, Just as much as if when they board the car. Instead of one fare box there would be two. one of Ihem labelled, "for your ride," and the other "for your taxes." RUSS COMPOSITIONS GIVEN WEDNESDAY Modern Russian compositions will comprise the program to be given by the Music department of the Woman'i! rlub in the high school auditorium .Wednesday evening, March 1, at 7:30 o'clock The program is to be open to the public, and no admission prico will be charged.

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK? Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It.

Most people do not realize the alarming increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney disorders are among the most common diseases that prevail, they are almost the last recognized by patients, who usually content themselves with doctoring the effects, while the original disease constantly undermines the system. Weak kidneys may cause lumbago, rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints or muscles, at times have headache or indigestion, as time passes you may have a sallow complexion, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, sometimes feel as though you had heart trouble, may have plenty of ambition but no strength, get weak and lose flesh. -

The "pitcher plant," as It is often called, is technically known as Nepenthes, and thriving best only in the heat of the tropics, is usually found In Borneo, Madagascar and Ceylon. INCOME TAX LAW EXPLAINED CLEARLY The law says: "An income tax return must be filed by every citizen of the United States, whether residing at home or abroad, and every person residing in the United States, though not a citizen thereof, whosegross income for the taxable period 1921 amounted to ?5,000 or whose net income amounted to

Shown at Flower Show -V This strange plant has been nicknamed the "pitcher plant" because the extension of its leaf terminates in the perfect form of a pitcher, lid and all. If insects, such as bees and flies once explore the Inside of the pitcher it is impossible for them to climb up the interior walls of the pitcher, and they are finally drowned in a fluid contained in the pitcher, which is capable of digesting certain kinds of animal matter: Richmond florists occupy a prominent place in the national show.

Twelve head of registered Short horn cattle, 70 head of pure-bred hogs ; and five head of horses comprised thn live stock. With the exception of two registered Durocs and one reg- j istered Big Type Poland boars, the ( hogs were all bred gilts, 43 red and , 24 black ones. .

The fact that 200 head of hogs, in cluding 25 brood sows, due to farrow in April, were withdrawn from the sale, was a disappointment to buyers, of course, but was still more so to Mr. Neanen. Sickness developed in the Neanen pens a few days ago, thus causing the withdrawal of the hogs to await developments.
