firmed a proffered compromise which assured

the campaign. These no one will
dare circulate now, but others viii
no doubt be prepared.
In local matters all will remember
the extra issue Of the Sparks circu-
lated late on the day before the elec-
ton last fall, and containing lies
which they would not have dared to
make early enough to have given time
to show up their utter baseness and
vileness. 1t also promised that il
the reform ticket was elected taxes
would be lowered The farmers can
Judge of the truth and sincerity of
that gang by the way they have kept
this promise. The average raise in
taxes has been 10 per cent, but the
valuations have been so manipulated
that the farmers pay three fourths Of
the increase, thus in some cases the
individual farmers pay as high as
40 per cent more taxes than last
year
Another special promise was that
the assessments would be SO adjusted
that the corporations would pay a
much larger portion of the taxes than
ever before. Their hypocrisy is well
shown by the fact that while the far
mers and business men all got raises
in the amount of taxes TO be paid,
several corporations, notably the rail
road and bank, have received hand
some reductions. Their promises
are worth no more this year Than they
were last year.
1t is reported that preparations are
now being made to get out another
extra issue OF the Sparks next hion-
day. and If viii no doubt be of SINH
