How can it? The public utilities commission will , have expenses to meet, and the people \ vHll have to meet them. The men who fix the prices of car service, gag, water and electricity will alsoldecide who the commissioners will be. How, then, ttan the scheme be profit- 1 able to the people? The movement is 1 based on the superficial observations of ! on thinking men. It subverts the true purpose of government. Corporations owe it to the people to f perform certa'in obligations to the peo- 8 pie. They should be punished when they fail in their duties. But they 8 should not be subjected to despotic ? rulers, armed with special authority over them, for the people must pay r for the * increased dishonesty and in- T competence of the public servants so ? •rmed." 1 — s**s 1 The reference to Governor Fort's in- b •ugural address in th" President's mes- ° sage was gratifying to the citizens of 8 Hew Jersey.

The tax dodgers are among the keenest pf r 'hose who desire to return to old time " methods of handling taxation. A sympathetic local board of appeal is much more easily persuaded that something ought to be done in the way of redncI tion, than a County Board of Taxation, which has no local sympathies, , and seeks to do only equal and exact justice to individuals and municipal bodies alike. Again the constitutional provision that , . property should be assessed at "true" < value is much more certain of atten- 1 ■ tion on the part of every assessor, ( when he knows that his valuations are ( to he reviewed in the interest of the | 1 whole county rather than in that of c particular locality, and the result J is that some of the municipalities j which have been tax dodging for years ( by keeping down valuations, to avoid c paying a just share of county and state 1 tax, are doing so no longer. »• » o Another source of grievance against J the taxing system recently inaugur- s ted. has dome from municipal bodies n which have summed tyi the city's or " other municipalities wants in the • budgets and left it "up to the asses- I " sor" to raise them. No consideration n given as to whether it can be done and N all apparently oblivious to the fact 8 that a maximum rate law permits an j, to assess what the true value li of property multiplied by this inflex- h ible rate will yield, and no more. It is not likely that this maximum rate law q will be repealed, for neither individual nor municipal tax dodger would wait T this. So that - no matter whether the ( laws be administered by a county q altogether detached from any locality, or by a county board of j P assessors, each of whom has a partic- 1 8 ular locality to which he is re*ponsi-l gj the same difficulties will been-|dl countered in attempting to raise more j s< money than is mathematically possible ! ?' under the law.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Ml. Their Uaceatiag Work Keeps as Straag and Happy. All the blood in tire body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blor.d. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains , of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left i in the blood. This brings on many . diseases and', symptoms— pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizi ziness, irregular heart, debility, drow- , ainess. dropsy, deposits in the urne, , etc. But if you keep the filters right ' kidn k"ve 00 tT0U^)'e 3'our Mrs. A.

A nurse who had previously attended me. advised me to give Doan's Kidney Pi 11b a trial, 1 and I procured a box At Willeta Cor-] i son's drug store.

It has just turned a century since the first boat was propelled by steam- There was not a complete locomotive in existence than nor a mile of railroad track. Hut the pendulum of lime has su^ug rapidly forward within the last two generations. The railroadj the telegraph, and the telephones, have revolutionized the commerce and industry of the world and have made neighbors of remote people. First of all in this work of upbuilding, expansion, and development comes the railroad. It is the medium of exchange, the agency of transfer, and wherever it has gone prosperity has followed.

It has constructed or absorbed branch lines and consolidated them with its main stem, thus bringing industrial and manufacturing interests in dfreci louchWiLh "Ml the centres ot trade and affording the people the facilities of travel in 'all directions. Travel is no longer a dread, it is a pleasure. Comfortable cars bv day or night drawn by the best type of locomotives over a roadbed maintained at the highest degree oi exc;llence, eliminate as far as possible the annoy* ances of travel and make it remeative rather, than burdensome. Tickets are sold at the lowest rate* consistent with good management and under conditions most accommodating to the pasenger; The schedules of the trains are designed to meet the wishes ane reqiurements of the greatest number of travelers, and the equipment, both as to vehicles and employes, is kept at The highest state of efficiency It is the object of the management to encourage travel by making it easy.
