In * the numberles** questions that arise in the school, church, politics, or our family circles it is impossible to gain the candid opinion of many people. They must turn to an other to know what they think. There is a folklore story that once on a lime all'the members of the animal kingdom met to gether to devise ways and means to better « protect and uplift themselves. The first question to be decided was the manner of voting in convention.

A report from the Department of Agriculture shows that in apite of the demands of the army there had been a substantial 1 in crease in live stock in this coun try over 1914.

He was told the government was taking the output of the factories. The census bureau now comes out with a report done, or the spirit of that body. *We believe this legislature will stand out above former ses- * . sions by a Head and shoulders.

It has calmly addressed itself to a consideration of those questions which underlie a greater prosperity for the state. These are taxation, • education, and better roads. It is unsafe* to make any prediction as to the final Shape - of legislation on either of these matters. It is fairly, safe to predict that it will go down in history as * epoch makingMn educational advances. The need for good roads and for tax equalization is keenly realiz ed. Just now both are handi capped by the desire to have folks pay for them that will not use them. It is not clearly rec ognized that sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gaqder. \. R. C.
