when these pretended

they signally failed to do so, and 
did not reduce Buy fees or salaries. 
Now, while the of our 
Democratic Legislature did not 
make any such promise in last 
campaign, we would impress 
upon the propriety care-

all our public officers and reducing

Receipt Taxable. 
Assistant Attorney nil 
has rendered an opinion which 
he holds that all receipts given for 
goods, or property 
held storage a regular ware- 
house require the stamp provided 
for by the war revenue act. The 
contention made by the warehouse- 
men was in order to tax- 
able a receipt given mer- 
or property held on 
storage in a warehouse must be a 
negotiable paper. This contention 
Mr. Boyd holds is untenable. This 
opinion is in accord with the ruling 
previously made by 
sinner of internal revenue. 
To those who live in communities 
whew all can employment all

forced to beg for employment. 
And few of the persons in any 
community who find constant em- 
at the hands of others 
fully appreciate toe tact that where 
they have a mind to labor can 
do so and receive pay for it. In 
the large cities many persons who 
are cold and hungry in these win- 
days would be glad, indeed, lo 
have toe opportunity to labor every 
day for food and only a little more. 
The possibility of constant employ 
for those who are dependent
