Taxation is a subject of the ut most importance to every citizen. Unfortunately few people have a thorough and scientific under standing of the way it should be handled. For a number of years past we have had an economy administra tion that has successfully lower ed national taxes without slight ing any necessary governmental functions. Yet at>thc same time local taxes have so steadily and dangerously mounted that they have offset the fed e r a l savin g . G o o d taxation is an incentive to stable, progressive industry, hom e and property owning, and real prosperity and growth on a solid basis. Exhorbitant and wasteful taxation is a cortain de triment to these. Too many bond issues and debts can ruin a community. When we vote for a public of ficial we are showing our trust in a man who is to handle funds and to determine what they shall be spent for. In the same way we invest money in the stock of an industry. The great difference is that when we buy stock we investi gate and are certain of the econ omy and ability of the mange- ment. Often when we vote we fail absolutely to do this. And the result is high taxes and waste. The federal government has shown what can be done. Some states and cities have made nota ble records in economy. The same conditions can be effec ted everywhere if we vote as we do business, with full knowledge and an intelligent understanding.

Apply 41 State Street. : Working for over twenty years for her brother, taking care of pigs and cattle and drudging at farm work, believing that she had title to a farm and home that would shelter her in her old age. Miss Hattie L. Van Dyne sud denly found that the deed was recorded in he brother’s name and that she had nothing to show for a life time’s laJ)ors. This ii the story that is alleged in an action started in the Seneca County C*urt House before Judge Stevens as referee which was transferred from the Court of Equity last April and was listed as Hattie L. Van Dyne against Adelbert Van Dyne, “ an action for specific performance.” Miss Van Dyne, according to the evidence worked for her brother, on a farm near Seneca Falls for many years. The care of the cattle, sheep, hogs and much of the heavy farm work fell to her lot and in the course of time she accumulated $600 which was instrusted to her brother to be invested towards the payment of a farm. Some time prior to 1917 the Winnis farm between Waterloo and Geneva was purchased for $3,200 and Miss Van Dyne al leges that'then she supposed it was recorded in her name in the Seneca- County Clerk’s office. ber brother at different times for the deed, but he told, her it was in his safe in Geneva and was better there than any where bisc. Upon going to the County Clerk’s office and examining the records Miss Van Dyne found the deed to the farm was record ed in her brother’s name and that she had nothing to\show for her investment. Mr. Slattery, who boarded at the Van Dyne farm for several years swore that Adel bert Van Dyne told him that he had sold as high as $800 worth of produce from the farm in one year, and that he expected to realize enough in three years to get back the money he had in vested. Evidence showed that Mr. VanDyne had ordered his sister to get off the place, which she refused to do. ■ One witness testified that on a cold winter’s night, late in De cember, 1917, he missed the trol ley car and had to walk to the farm, reaching there after mid night. He found Miss VanDyne out taking care^ of the pigs and told of her doing hard work on the farm. At the close of the prosecution Attorney Daniel Moran for the defense moved for a nen>suit, claiming that the statute of limi tations applied and that no case had been established by the evi dence. Judge Stevens denied the motion and by consent of the attorneys the case was postponed until the first week in October. Former County Judge Bodirie appeared .for the prosecution and Attorney Moran and Teter for the defense. The action was bcr gun in Equity Court in October, Before moving to the present farm, Miss VanDyne operated a farm on the Seneca Falls-Fay- ette road for marly years. Miss VanDyne is a sister of Constable Willis VanDyne of Spring street.
