Mr.. Guyer's Panacea.

Mr., S. s. Guyer is out in the Union
with a letter (this time over his own
name) in which he covers good deal of
ground to show that Rock Island and Mo-
line contain larger population and pay
more taxes than the balance of the county,
and that Rock Island and Moline have
only supervisors while the balance of the
county has IA, Mr.. Guyer tells the PEG
pie no news in this statement. Two years
ago THE ARGUS showed the inequality of
representation, and was the cAuse(through
our representative, Hon. Charles Dun
ham, of partial remedy. Having shown
the matter to Mr.. Durham and the legis.
lature, our representative procured the
passage of the law now in existence, giving
every town having 1000 inhabitants an as
sistant supervisor 1.-THE old law only al
lowed one assistant in towns having over
S00.voters) and in towns having $500 in
habitants two assistants, and for every ad-
ditional $500 inhabitants an additional
assistant,-the population to be ascer-
tanned by the last federal or state census,
That is the present law. and it is an ap-
Proclamation towards equality ofrepresenta-
ton. And this is due to the efforts of
The ARGUS. through Mr. Durham, our
member of the legislature.
But how does Mr.. Guyer propose to
remedy the inequality of which he COM
plains? He proposes to do it by going
back to the antiquated system of three
county commissioners, This is a queer
remedy. Can Mr.. Guyer show that his
favorite system ofmanaging county affairs
by three men, Tor really by two, as two are
a majority, will improve matters in regard
to a more equal representation? To do that
he must always secure two of the three
commissioners to Moline and Rock Island
Is that likely to occur? And if it did oc.
cur would they be any more likely to do
Justice in regard to equalization than the
board of supervisors? We think not.
The whole trouble with the equalization
matter lies in the fact that the Republi
cans of Moline and Rock Island insist on
running party tickets. The ward eau
cusses are left to party bummers, and the
result is set of candidates wholly unfit tt
represent these two towns. If Rock Isl
and and Moline would drop their nonsense
about party tickets at town meetings ant
try to secure men of character and ability
there need be no complaint about equal
cation,

The New German Paper.

On Monday the first number of new
German semi-weekly newspaper was is
sued in this city, by Mr.. g, Winter. 1t is
called the ''Neue Volks-Z eitung." 1t is a
small column paper, and the press work
of the first number is very poorly exc
cuted.
1t sets forth in its programme that 1t
will freely discuss all political questions of
the day, in an independent manner, COM
mending what it thinks good in both par
ties, and condemning in each what it
thinks wrong. 1t supports the Liberal
ticket for state officers in Iowa, and OPP
poses the rag baby platform of the Demo
Gratis in Ohio-in all of which it and THE
ARGUS are in harmony.
The next number of the paper will be
published next week. on Tuesday, and af-
ter next week it will be issued twice a
week.
In this issue before us, the editor says:
The ARGUS recently censured Mr.. Krell and 9TH
er members Of the township auditing board Tor al
session. on the 22d of last month, instead OF so
which is the lawful fee.
much noise about it. Although it was true that the
members of said board voted themselves Sc fee on
the basis OF the old township law they soon altered
the allowance to so as prescribed by the new law
OF our township organization,
Mr.. Winter should be careful how he Is
led into such errors as the above. When
he came here it was rumored that he was
to publish reform" paper, but if he
uses his paper to excuse robbery of the
pub ic treasury that can hardly be called
reform" The old law only permitted
the auditors to allow themselves 81 day
Somebody has probably informed Mr.
Winter that the old law authorized 81 {
day, as he says that was the sum allowed
under the old law.
The ''old law" will be found in Chapte
lO3, entitled Township Organization.
Art XI. Compensation of Town Officers,
page 754 CROSS Statutes of Illinois, Law
of 1861, as follows:
| s4 The officers composing the board of ap
pointment in case of vacancy. when they shall NEE
for that purpose, and the officers composing tn
board of town auditors, shall each be entitled TO
day for their services
1t will be we'll for Mr.. Winter to be
little bit more cautious who he gets hi
facts from. as we do not suppose he want
to excuse public robbery or the men VIII
are guilty of it.
i We wish his paper success, and hope
will always be found on the side of righ
/ P. S.-Since the above was in type MI
Winter has called at our sanctum and re
Iquested US to say that he derived his il
formation from Mr.. Krell. but he is mo-
satisfied that he was misinformed and re
E grets that he has been led into an error
He quite emphatically condemns publ
robbery, no matter by whom committed
: and will make the proper correction in hi
next issue.
