TAXPAYERS Protective ASSOCIATION
A meeting of the taxpayers of Fremont town
ship was he'd on Saturday night last, at which
about eighty-fiye persons were present. to dis
cuss the question of paying or resisting the
collection OF the tax levied to pay the interest
on the railroad bonds of the county. The
meeting was organized by the election of p. b.
MaNson, Chairman, and j. NJ. Miller, Secreta-
ry. After prOtracted discussion of the ques-
ton, a vote was taken expressive of the
sentiment of the meeting upon the question
involved, which rusulted unanimously in favor
of resisting the collection of the tax. 4 per-
manent organization was then formed by the
election of p. b. MaXson, President, J. NJ.
Miller, Secretary. and Il. ii. Abraham, Treas
urer. An agreement was entered into, and
signed by a large number of those present, to
pay an amount equal to twice the amount of
| the railroad tax of each taxpayer for the
| present year, so much thereof Us may be re-
| quired, for the employment of counsel and the
| prosecution of the case to Il successful issue,
and an executive committee was appointed and
instructed to confer with similar organizations
| in the county, circulate the agreement entered
into by those present in all the school districts
of the township, employ counsel, sc.
The meeting adjourned to meet ut the same
| place next Saturday evening.
Similar organizations were formed in Water
| loo and Agnes City townships, and an effort
| will be made TO secure the cooperation Of all
| parts of the county. The tax levied this year
| for railroad bonds Is nine and three-tenth mills
| on the dollar.

Having decided b issue an afternoon in
stead of a morning paper hereafter there will
be none issued tomorrow morning. The next
number of the paper will appear on Monday
afternoon. This will be to the advantage of
many subscribers. Complaints are made ey-
cry day that the carrier does not deliver the
papers regularly, while the carrier claims that
the papers are properly distributed. We have
seen the papers carried away from the subscri-
bers' doorsteps by the wind, and the subscri-
beers who thus lost their papers have COM
planned to us that they did not receive them.
The carrier did the best he could. There was
no way TO get the papers into the house, and
no convenient, safe place without in which
the papers could be lodged. By issuing the
paper in the afternoon this trouble may be OBJ
waited, rs the doors of subscribers can then be
opened and the paper in many instances tossed
into the houses. And, as we will continue TO
receive the telegraphic reports, our subscri-
bers will receive the morning dispatches about
eighteen hours in advance of the Topeka
mails, whereas they see them only six or eight
hours in advance by a morning paper. We
will give fuller report also than we have
| done heretofore OF morning kilograms.
