April 1 0, 192'? i in i.t*Ki!)iitur? _ ,&oive in Hvlduals and newspapers have Severely criticised the1 legisla te for remaining in session so long. Some of the- criticism may, be do-, served. W# believe, however, that most iff the members have honestly tried to do their duty to "their coun ties and the state, and have remained in m ion long over time, at their own expense, trying to find a satis* facto i y. way t<? solve the vexatiou.' problem < before them, They had many divergent ideas about what was l>e8t to do. And they should not be too severely condemned for standing out so long for their views. . We huvkt ht a:d judg< severely lam bast Juries for failing to agree, but At: always -vmpathr/ed with tin juries, especially If i he re was a priu eiple <if right arid wrong involved, .'tod both side- of the divided jury stood out for its own 'conscientious interpretation of its duty. The legislature fouhd it hard to ge t together* but finally- did compro mise its differences. Though the compromise may not be satisfactory to a large number, they knew that there must be a compromise on the plan of raising revenue. Cemmitte" 'after 'committee had tried to reach an agrceim nt, . and the final report of the free conference committee had to be adopted, or else appoint new committees to dp t'he work all over ' aguin, and probably hold an extra ' session of the legislature, to cost $1 ">0,000 -or more and add a new prob lem to raiding u venue. We think the basis of the trouble : s that we are all living too fast, and spending t^> much. K very thing is eost'ing so much more than it onet* did, and piople arc cousuming so mm h more and producing so much .less, that it is a great stlain upon the real piodure'-* .to keep thing'* going, Tiiete is too tnueh b-oj owing and i'i*? rect payivjr. i f*d pub lic business, and we !<;.i t';a!

The problem of taxation seems u be worrying all states and eountries We do not believe it wi!i ever b~ solved satisfactoril.v anywhere.

Why not guard against loss by Tornado and Wind? If the house covered by the mortgage is blown down and destroyed what is the worth of the mort gage, if. as often is the case, the mortgagor's worldly all is his equity in the demolished house? Windstorm insurance is as logical as fire insur ance. Without it the mortgagee may whistle for his ^ money, if the land value is less than the amount of the loan; the owner of the mortgage^ house may face ' a heavy judgment. The slight cost of windstorm in surance would save such complications. C. P.
