the case against Harry Clark, charged with
attempting to bride voter disagreed this
morning after being out all night. The
jury is understood to have voted four for ac-
quittal and eight for conviction, that being
the political complexion of the men. Clark
is a Republican and was charged with buy

government in this county have charged
several men with bribery and illegal vot-

made against the men. In the recent Dem

The mayor and his associates are now
anxious for a park board. Having pur-
chased the most Objectionable tract of land
about the city for a park, paying three
times its value. the Mayor is anxious that
the Legislature shall enact a law creating
a park board Why? Because, having pur-
chased tract of land which will cost an
immense amount of money to improve, he
desires to rid himself of the responsibility
of creating a special levy for park i'm
provement for which such a board may be
held responsible. The Mayor knows that
the taxpayers know that under his regime,
the levy for city purposes has been in
creased from sixty to seventy cents. He
dares not, with his political aspirations, ask
for an additional levy to expend in an eff
fort to make a park out of the worthless
White river bottoms. But he would have
the Legislature create a board of park
commissioners with authority TO make
levy such commissioners to be selected by
Mr. Taggart himself and directly under his
control as all his boards now are.
His Honor should have thought of a new
park law and board before his board pur-
chased the waste places of his Democratic
friends. The park board should have begun
at the beginning by purchasing the lands,
with authority to condemn and take lands
in cases where the owners asked three
prices, as the law contemplated which was
set aside because the sections defining the
official terms of the park board were de-
clared by the Supreme Court to be uncon-
al hos
been alleged, because his law officer failed
to present the case to the court properly.
The Mayor should have declared last July
that it was impossible to begin the park
enterprise until the Legislature had passed
park law which would give power to
condemn lands and take them at a fair
price. 1t would have been vastly better to
have let the money lie idle than to use it
to purchase the most unsuitable lands
about the city for park purposes and to
pay three times as much as the lands
could have been sold for if anyone had
wanted them.
The first great extravaganza of the Tag
CART regime in connection with the parks
has been perpetrated and is beyond RENE
dy. One such is enough. A park act must
be secured of the Legislature, but it must
not bear the Taggart ear-marKs. A Repub-
lcan LEGISLATURE will see that such legisla-
ton does not bear this mark, to the end
that the extravaganza on the face of the
purchase of the White river bottoms shall
not be continued through the authorization
of special levy for parks upon the people,
to be fixed by the Mayors friends.
