Practically every western state is loaded with a political overhead which would not be justified by ten times the population. Every public official denies all responsibility for the increased tax burden and says, If the people vote these measures what can I do? Admitting without argument that the people are to blame for all the tax burdens under which they stagger at present, what is to be done about it? Obviously if the people are responsible for the tax increase, it is up to the people to see that they get a tax reduction. When tax reduction is suggested the present beneficiaries of our tax system say it simply cannot be done but the fact remains that it must be done. Private industry has reduced expense all along the line to meet changed conditions and the government must adjust itself to a more economical basis in the same manner as the individual and business has done. The man who fights for tax reduction today is often held up to ridicule and calumny by those who prey off the present tax system and pay little or no share toward the burdens of government. The power of present political parties will be overthrown nnless they join willingly in the campaign for tax reduction, Thus will experimental political parties gain power as a result of public unrest. Progreesive western states are pressing programs of retrenchment for cutting down their overhead of taxation from 25 to 30 per cent. Hard Christmases for G.

There wms a welcome Christmas present for Washington and his men at New Windsor In 1780 when a big Christmas wagon came with over 2,000 shirts and other comforts made by Philadelphia women patriots things needed by the men under Washington, who were cheerfully suffering all sorts of hardship in order that this country might be free. The Philadelphia women also raised, that year, over $300,-00- 0 in aid of the soldiers. The fine old Colonial mansion (the Craigie house) in Cambridge, Mass., (now' widely known as the home of Henry W. Longfellow), was the place where Washington spent his first Christmas as commander of the Revolutionary army in 1775 Mrs. Washington was there with him (as she was later at Valley Forge), and there was some, pleasure in the midst of the heavy cares and responsibilities carried by the great Washington. A year later Christmas day found Washington at the head of his 2.400 brave men making his celebrated crossing of the Delnware river, nine miles above Trenton. The snow and sleet were blinding, it is recorded, and the cold was intense. But hearts were brave. Wherever he wms at Christmastide, Washington wms cheered with the thought that the cause of the struggling colonies would surely win. A few days before Christmas, ,.1770, he wrote to his older brother, John AuBetween you gustine Washington:, and me, our affairs are in a very bad situation. . . . However, under a full persuasion of the justice of our cause, I cannot entertain an idea that it will finally sink, though it may remain tor some lime under a cloud. Washington must have had some very merry Christmases at Mount Vernon. There weie no children of his own with whom Washington could romp. But we cau easily imagine the general putting on a false bearil of fuzzy white whiskers and slinging a pack over his back for the delight of the little ones in the neighborhood. General Washington wms truly the Father of His Country, and we have, a very good idea of the sort of holiday spirit in which he observed the glad Christmastide when our republic was in its infancy. No one in all our bright history as a nation has handed down a moie radiant Christmas message of hope and faith. big-heart- Americas Annual Record of Fire LossAverages' 83,000 Dwellings that comTorally Destroyed news dispatch announces Anaconda the Copper Mining pany has completed arrangements to purchase the American Brass company.
