or more useless commissions and tax
eating concerns, such MS the state nor

salaries we're decided upon four year
ago, when the wages for all kinds Of Ia
Dor and prices for products were doubl
, what they are now, and to cut the sala
! ries through in the middle now woul'
. even things up properly.
When the Legislature convened on th
18th, the Senate, composed OF 80 mem
), bers, promptly organized, with Joe y
!, mon as president. But the House, con
!, posed Of 90 members, las stnbbornly n
!. fused to organize, owing to scheme
those who oppose the reelection ot Ser
ator Mitchell to delay the matter, hoI
ing by some hook or crook 10 defeat hin
= Each day when the roll call is mad
: about one-hali Of the members purpos
z " remain away, 20 that there can be \

y. We have talked with q great maj
be people from different parts OF the coun
re this week and they cay there is gener
ch dissatisfaction over the change o.
NJ county court made in the road Ia
ks They believe that were the matter 81
its mitted 10 vote that out OF the II
votes in the county, not 80 would fay
fr. the change. Several representative CT
tie zens and taxpayers Of the Mayville cot
ey try say that instead OF having to pay
~. cash for their road tax they would ',
a. much prefer letting it go towards bni
'eu court honse az Condor. II seems
est be the general opinion OF the taxpay
from nearly every section OF the coui
!, that the county court used very p,
Na- Judgment In not favorably consider
NIX the matter Of building conrt hou
on after the liberal offer Of Condor to
a. nate $1,000 ca sh towards 1t. The peo
:" are becoming very tired OF paying o
W 800 per year rent for q court rot
lis when the county is we'll able to atior
decent court house. The proposition
!, 10 build two-story tire-proof br
tic- building, larger and something on
his same style as the Union Block in
an lington, which thirteen years ago c
ght something like $4,000.
