I have been thinking for some time ofsuggesting that we ask our Representative) use his influence to change the law regarding tax collect ing so that each township mar elect its own tax coilec for. Let him Kettle with the county Treasurer and he with the State Treasurer, thereby reducing the per cent, from 5 to 3 percent. This would be quite an item in the Slate Treasury and would distiib ute the paying offices among the people better, and probn lily there would not be soma ny insolvent tax pi.rers. 1 would be glad to hear ex -Slier iff D. F. Baird's opinion on this subject in the columns of your paper. . I am also in favor of a mild compulsory school law, and as our legislators are afraid to Tackle the dog law, per haps we can get them tnpaxs a law roinpelling everybody to confine their dogs at night which would be a salt-guard for our sheep.

The King's Daughters of the State has undertaken the : task of establishing a state reformatory for voung mini nals, and the committee on organisatiun will present the cause to the Legislature at once. This is a most lauda ble enterprise, for we know of nothing that is needed more than to try to keep our re fraetory boys from becoming criminals, when if they were put in the right hands they might make some of our best citizens.
