@The county ought never 20 have been
out of the republican column. but the
voters have been fooled several times by
democratic promises OF reform and re
duced taxatipn," SAYS the Register. A
reduction of 81 mills 10 county taxes Is
a good way 10 be fooled, and the farmers
will vote Tor some more Of it by re- eject
ing MeClung SParkA.
After five years OF "reforn" with
tax leyies ranging as high as 81 mills
the levy this year IS % mills, or -
per cent higher than it was when the
democrats assumed charge Of county
affairs under promise Of reduced
taxation. This is what the Sparks
means by fooling the farmers some
more. II is true that the tax.
payers have shown great deal Of
patience with democratic reinssls 10
keep any Of their promises, bnt the
Sparks is wrong in ASSUMING ss II
does that this patience will never

We farmers of Denver are cinched for
ty-one mills FOR taxes this year while two
years ago the levy was only twenty eight
mills. There are no public ins sprovments
going up that we can see and yet our tax
is out OF sight. Why is this? We are not
old enough to know.-Field and Farm.
That's dead easy, Mr.. Field aud
Farm. For about eight years the
Denver papers, of which yours is one
of the most rabid, have advocated
the election to office Of any old polit
icai hack Just so his lung expansion
enabled him to howl longer and
louder for silver and against pluto
Gratis than his opponent could. No
regard for fitness, ability or integrity
has been shown by those scurrilous
sheets; the men that yesterday they
hekt up TO scorn as traitors, boodlers
and corruptionists, they are today
proclaiming as saints and friends OF
the people. The people have fol
lowed in the wake of the papers with
their votes; they have sowed the wind
and ought not to grumble at the
whirlwind harvest. With it all what
have they done for silver Nothing!
The political hacks, however, have
nursed the pull at the public teat
thus given them, ard it is no wonder
that taxes are increasing.
