Many people seem to think that when
they have delivered themselves of this

As matter of fact, local government
is just about what the people make it.
Thoss who engage In the corruption Of

than are those self styled respect

their hands with politics.
The late Senator Ingalls, once express

any community taxes are excessive, re-

is the fault of the people"

against Chairman Jones that be IL
