AkNE ARNESON,

Already the liar is abroad telling his
doleful story that Arne Arneson is moi
qualified for the position of county com
missioner. There is little necessity 10,
saying anything in defense of Arne Arue'
son, because he is too we'll known, but il
may be we'll 70 say that there is not a
better posted man for the position in the
county. He is conservative in all his
business methods, and is more familiar
with the needs of the people than any
other man in the county. There is moth
ing narrow or contracted in his views on
public matters. He is Il safe man for the
position and this no man will DENY. Vote
for Arne Arneson and you will make no
mistake, for he will administer the affairs
of the office without political bias.

Its Opinion on the Deficiency Tax

The Governor Asks for Information.
Vote Against the Tax.
The Governor cunninsly asked:

The Governor cunninsly asked:
HAS the legislature tlse constitutional
power to provide by law for tax under
any circumstances in excess Of two mills
on each dollar Of the assessed valuation
Of all taxable property in the state!'
To which the supreme court replied
In full, Of which the following is ver-
batim, and while there was, in the
opinion rendered, much verbiage and
rubbish, this is the real vital point which
was intended to constitute an enabling
act" by which the governor and his pals
might rob the people
The supreme court said:
"Wc regard this plainly marked
distinction between ordinary and extra
ordinary expenses, and the extreme
carefulness with which the constitution
has undertaken to guard the taxpayers
and the public treasury against hasty
and ill-advised oullays for extraordinary
expenses, as peculiarly significant in
construing the constitutional provisions
involved in your inquiry.
AS TO the ordinary current expenses of
the state, which can be each year estimat-
ed with close approximation to correct
ness, excessive taxation is provided
against by II fixed maximum rate but
probably no constitution could safely
provide for an arbitrary limlC to taxation
for extraordinary and emergency cases,
for no constitutional convention could
possibly anticipate what such case might
be.
1t might be to protect the people of the
state. by extreme and unusual means,
against an approaching pesLilence, or to
make temporary provision for the
patients Of the insane hospital, unhoused
and scattered by devastating fire, or
for any other exceptional and extraoreain-
ary object essential to the welfare of the
state. Such expenses would be. confess
edly. extraordinary and unusual, but
because Of the impossibility Of antiCipat-
ing such extraordinary contingencies and
the consequent impracticabillty of fixing
in advance an arbitrary and incXorable
rule for the limitatati0n and control of
taxation necessary to meet them. the
constitution attempts to furnish an
adequate restriction and protection in the
requirement that no bill appropriatlng
money for an extraordinary purpose can
become Il law without the support of
two-thirGs of all the members of each
house."
.Ana new with this damnable decision
ringing in their ears, whereby our state
constitution is set at naught, and the
supreme court made greater than the
people whose servants they are, and
whereby the sovereignty of the ballot Is
ignored. the plundcrers are equipped for

party wherein they claimed the greatly
increased purchasing power of u dollar,
and if so, the increased value of all salaries
and appropriations and likewise the in
creased hardship to obtain the dollar with
which to pay such salaries and appropria-

increase those appropriations, until they
had passed into the realm of extravaganza
to the amount Of $1,000 saying moth

Over $lQe, 900 was appropriated for public

HEAVY FAILURE IN KANSAS.
Company with 100 Grain Elevators
Forced to the wall.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 5.-The Kan
sas Grain Company, which claims to be
the greatest buyer of grain from pro-
ducers in the world, has failed H. NJ
fitzpatrick, secretary and treasurer
of the company, notified the sec
retary of the Board of Trade at
10:35 o'clock this morning that the com
pany was unable to meet its contracts.
When the announcement ofthe suspen-
sion was made on the board it caused
great excitement. The main offices Of
the company are located in this
city and at Hutchinson, kas.
The president Of the concern,
T. J. Templcr, is in charge Of the Hutch
inson Offices and the officers here de-
cline to make any statement of the
financial condition until authorized
to do so by Mr.. Templer. 1t
is presumed, however, that the
assets and liabilities will each
be large The company has elevators
in lO6 towns and cities in Kansas, rep
resepting an investment of $4,000.
All Of these elevators contain
more or less grain. The com
pany was incorporated some years
ago with capital stock of
$4,000. The cause of the failure as
stated by the officers here is the close
money market Mr. kirkpatrick says
the stringency in money prevented the
company from realizing on its ware
house receipts which were depended
upon to meet maturing obligations.
