Manager PARADOXICAL FINANCE Progenitoo' inheritances permeate our existence. The inherited legacies of the past dog our footsteps physically, mentally and ^morally; warp our reasoning and dim our vision. Psychological analysis will divulge the fact that we' travel in lines paralell to those of our predecessors. We Americans revel and delight in complicated methods in doing business — and intricate proceedures in all public affairs, when simpler forms and practices would obtain quicker and better results. An examination of applied methods In taxation will soon disclose the jnafiy anomalies existing therein. The deadly pgralell will readily ■how the absurdity of much that surrounds municipal finances. We make a City Budget every year and stipulate the amount thought to be necessary for Current Expenser and immediately proceed to present a cut in the way of Discount to those who pay on or before a certain date, thereby curtailing the Receipts to that amount. An examination of the Tax DSpllcates will show that about onefifth is Delinquent, entailing the necessity of borrowing and paying interest Striking a balance at the end of the year we have: On Debit side — Anticipated Taxes. ..On the Credit side: ' ' Losses in Discounts. Losses in Delinquent Taxes, y - Losses in Interest paid on loans on Taxes. The Discounts represent an ^recoverable loss. \ Business acumen would decide ^hat "No Discount on taxes should be al- , lowed." NOTICE— AGRICULTURAL .

E OBITUARY Death "of Prominent Herkimer Man r Aaron E. Miller Succumbed Sunday Evening to Heart Attack — Prominent, Progressive and Successful — e Former Cape M^ Couutv Man. ;s The death on Sunday evening of Aaron E. Miller, one of Herkimer's p best known and most highly regarded merchants, is one of those dispensae tions which cojne as a double loss to the community. Mr. Miller was not onl^ upright, progressive and successful as a business man, but one of " those whose quiet cordial personali'y s invites and reciprocates friendsh'D. The pleasant greeting and good word r were native to him and it will be long before the keen edge of the regret s aroused by his swift passing is dulled e by time. Mr. Miller was born at -Cape May, f N. J., 62 years ago and previous to locating in this village had followed the occupation of a traveling ralesr man. In the course of his trips he became an acquaintance with and admirer of our pretty, hustling village, J so that eventually he determined to 5 establish a business of his own here. ' He came in August of 1895 and first ' opened his dry goods business in the Kay block on the west side or North Main Street He possessed the abilities and qualities to make enterprise prosper and after a time took larger quarters In the Grand Opera House Block. After, purchase of the block ! by late Thomas Grogran, Mr. Miller moved to his last location in the ' Nelson Block. His own business cares did not debar huir-&om active interest in matters of public concern affecting the welfare of his commun1 ity. He was a member of the Herkimer Chamber of Commerce and was . also a prominent figure in the Masonic fraternity, being affiliated with Herkimer Lodge F. & A. M., Iroquois Chapter, R. A. M., of Ilion; the Little ! Falls Commandery and the Shrilie of < Utica. He also held membership in ( the Order of United American Men! < Tho a man of hearty and robust ap- , pearance ordinarily, Mr. Miller had not for some time enjoyed complete Apparently^. however, there ! nothing about 'his coMBition to < prompt immediate alarm, and the sud- ! den crisis came as a severe blow to ^ the bereaved widow, Mrs. Sophie Mil- , and a profund sorrow to his legion of friends and brethren. His fatal attack first made itself felt on ' Sunday momfng*at about 2 and grew t worse as the day progressed, result- ( ing in death-about 6 p.m. j Besides the widow, three brothers , survive, namely Lemuel and Enoch of ' jCaoe May and Frank, of New York. * The funeral' sen-ices will take place ' Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in fi accordance with Masonic rites, Rev. < M. Hydon officiating. Interment < will be made in Oak Hill Cemetery. " DAVID 0. HAWN < David 0. HawnH aged 19 years, son * | of Mr. and .(Mrs. Andrew Hahn died ' < at his home in West Cape May.

DEATH OF EDWARD LEE ROSS Edward Lee Ross, of Court House, | died on Sunday evening at the age of | years, after a long and painful illi ness. The funeral occurred on Wed- I nesday afternoon and was largely at- I tended. Mr. Ross was. one of the county's I prominent men and had lived an exceedingly active life during the years ■ of his vigor, and was known in busi- ! ( ness circles as one who haAwvon his | to competence by €ntmng effort I and business skill and acumen. I He was also well-known in the polife of the county during the nineties and previously held several important offices. He was appointed county controller in 1888 and held the I office for several years. At a period | of great agitation and excitement in the public affairs of the state, he was elected to the House of Assembly and ; served there for three years, 1892. = 1893 and 1894. These #ere the days | of the- Coah-Corhbine ««d Race Track I when the Democratic par- | was in such absolute control that it was thought that it could* not be disMr. Ross who held the conof the county to a remarkable ! extent was elected as a Republican against the stighgest opposition. In | he was elected to the State Sen- | He was a member of several fraternities and an active member of the Baptist, church for many years. '
