He says that as long as delegations besiege the officials who have the dispens ing pow'er of public funds the taxes will be levied to meet the demands made on the treasuries by Vox Populi, Voter, Old Citi zen, and the familiar gang of the plunder bund, although his style of expression is a little more polished than this language of The Pilot. Mr. Tufts 'has touched bottom in his statement. The drafts on the taxpayer are laid by the folks who want ten acres and a mule and who are for the old flag and an appropriation. We are all ready enough to kick when we pay taxes, but we are more ready to raid the treasuries on every occasion, and it is the raiding of the public fund that causes the high taxation. Every loyal citizen proves his loyalty by insisting that if money is in the pot he wants his share for himself, his communit,y his state or his anything. But he wants his, and the vigorous American assault on the public income succeeds to such extent that t'he taxpayer is m'istantly on the defensive and as constant ly on the losing side. Unfortunately the taxpayer is in sympathy with practically every style of graft that comes up, and blindly assents to every raid that is made on the treas ury, for he figures that if he does not get anything for him self it is better for his neighbor to get the loot than for it to be safe from pillage by some one. So he kicks about paying his taxes and applauds the fellow who gets the money, for we all sympathize with anybody who gets away with anything. The way to stop high taxes is to stop high picking from the public funds, and that means all plun dering of all kinds from the county, State and national treas uries for any pui'pose. mighty few people are familiar chemical analysis would not dis with the argument in favor or close a point of difference.

It is a wise step in a way, for our constitution is old and out of date. But what we will do with the amendments no one is bold enough to guess. The people are indifferent to constitutional changes because nofe one in doz ens knows the first thing about the State constitution. It is not in politics and politics to inter est the folks must have emotion al action. Therefore it is doubt ful if a very large vote is cast on tihe amendments. Constitutional amendments get nobody politi cal offices. Hence the voter pays no attention to the constitution, and ar, ii- is nobod>'^s business to make known tiis matter involved in the amendments nobody to speak of knows what the whole thing is about. The amendments are announced now a few days before election, and every few people will know on election day whether to approve or disap prove. Things of the importance of changing the basic law of the state are not to be disposed of in a few days before the elec tion comes on. Four amendments are offer ed the voters on November 8, as explained in the news col umns of this issue. One is to make the term of sheriff and coronet four years instead of two, probably a wise provision.

OUR HUMOROUS PENAL LAWS Out from Sanford comes the information that the prison camp there is so satisfying as a resort that the criminals who I are dismissed protest against leaving the friendly sheltering I arms of food, lodging and peace, ; and the problem threatens to be- [come one of keeping men out of jthe penitentiary rather than of convicting them! and getting them in. Humorous as the situation seems at first suggestion, ulider it all is the backwash of that growing problem of how to les sen lawlessness and disregard for restraint. The multiplying prison population which shows an increase each month, is cer tain evidence that our method of enforcing laws is not efficient. And when the testimony comes that the prisons are so attrac tive that men want to remain rather than be discharged the whole bundle of cards threatens to make the prison plan a joke. What to do with the problem no one has intelligently suggest ed.
