that Mr. Swenson is taking a right
view of condition that has crept up-
on us while we are apparently not
locking. It also is clear that the
legislature should make some step*
toward seeing that some of this favor-
itism is cut off, as it is evident that
taxes, from some source or another,
are getting onerous to bear. Let ev-
erything carry its own share of the
burden of taxation, the taxation being
out down to the minimum, and you
will see a better satisfied people, and
the people rule, or should rule.

, The Savoy Star, marked copy corns*
to our desk, and we have perused the

where our friend, Tom E. Arterberry,
one of the friends of our youth and
one who has guided the Savoy Star
far twenty-four years, had passed on.
That bit of sad news dampened our
joy for the day very much, as It
should have done. Not a press nip U-

even hot-air, but he was there when
anybody was looking about for a man
to do a man’s work. Tom ran a g *od

to work. His wife was a potent fac-

of dropping the newspaper work and

It is always the best in point of news
of our two papers. Look this issue
over—look over any issue of The

with the times. Compare either of
them with any weekly around here.
We will stand the fair decision.

management, a square deal to all
customers, a watchful interest in all
things, business solicited on business
principals with something to sell and
something to deliver when sold. No-
body is worried with any of our so-
licitors and we will not allow that
to be done, and your business is high-

given, or we cannot conscientiously
ask you for it.
