' WHO PAYS TAXES TO KEEP
THIS TOWN GOING?
When a new nridge is needed,
a road must be repaired, a lire
hall is to be built, where does
the money come from? Do the
mail order houses pay it? Hard
ly. They will not even send a
contribution to help buy a bell for
the new church or to help a
JE'ourth of July celebration. They
pay no taxes in Ibis town, and
they are mil concerned in its
prosperity.
This town must be supported
liy its residents and those who
live in the immediate vicinity. If
they insist on sending their
money away then they arc help
ing to kill their town, and they
are making it. harder for them to
pay the taxes necessary to main
tain local government, and to
make local improvements.
You owe something to your
self, and you owe something to
your neighbors. Yon can help
yourself by helping your neigh
bors. You can’t injure your
neighbors without, injuring your
self. When you send money to
mail order houses you are hurt
ing your town, your neighbors
and yourself.
Spend your money where you
make it.
- HUERTA AND MAXIMILIAN.
(Jen. Carranza, now the most,
conspicuous of Mexican revolu
tionists, has decreed that tin* law.
of January 25, 18(12, shall be en
forced against (ten. Huerta and
bis associates when they are cap
tured. Thai law provides that
any attempt on tin' life of tint
chief magislrale, or any com
plicity in a seditious uprising,
shall he punished willi summary
execution. A dispatch from Kagle
"Pass says I.lint this law is called
the Law of .Maximilian, and that
under it the Austrian usurper
was pul to death. Karls do not
warrant Dial statement. Under
the law of 18(12 Maximilian would
havo been shot without the ex
pense and delay of a protracted
trial by court-marlial.
Maximilian, to whom tin* im
perial crown was lirst tendered
July 10, 18(13, and by whom il
was accepted April HI, 18(15, pro
mulgated in October, 18(15, a law
providing that "all partisans of
the Liberal government” (mean
ing all I tie patriotic Mexicans of
that hour "taken with arms in
their hands should be treated as
outlaws and summarily execut
ed.” That law was cruelly en
forced. Many Mexicans were ac
tually murdered during the re
mainder of Maximilian’s troubled
reign. Thai was the chief charge
against him, and the one which
compelled President Juarez to ig
nore all appeals for the dethron
ed emperor’s pardon. There were
many other grave charges, all
proved. But the decree of Oc
tober 3, 1805, was the significant
Law of Maximilian, and it was
the boomerang which in its back
ward flight smote him to death.
If Carranza captures Huerta,
or if Huerta captures Carranza,
doubtless the victor will put the
vanquished where he can do. no
more harm. But neither will
bother much to find a historical
precedent for his act.
NOTICE.
The city built a cesspool at the
east end of town for the recep
tion and disposal of human ex
cretia. All water, water closet
boxes and tanks must be emptied
in the cesspool. When means are
provided for disinfecting the

FORFEITURE NOTICE.
