Attorney-General Jeff Davis has Set at rest the contention the oppo- nents of the road tax have had that. the law requires a majority oi the votes cast i'll the election instead of a majority of votes cast upon that subject. If they were right in their contention a number of counties i'll which the road tax car ried would have been lost to the tax, because of the large number of electors who failed to vote. MT. Davis, after citing several authori- ties on the subject, says, "I am, therefore, clearly of the opinion that the question is to be deter mined by majority of the voters voting upon that subject. It was a silly construction of the act from the beginning and Mir. Davis opin- ion has settled the dispute.

 and. Coercion by employers oi labor. The men are for Bryan of Debs, but coercion may cost us the state.
 Leaders here say the support o1 Golden Rule" Jones makes Ohio sure for us. hope 1t is true.

 I have lots of work and very lit tie pay, but l take i'll the sights at times. Went to Milwaukee and expect to go to Michigan before the campaign is over.
 I wish I could tell you some thing definite about the campaign, but l guess you know as much about it as I do.

Later and more definite accounts of the Galveston horror shows that the first reports were not exagsera ted and, sad to say, the earlier es- inmates did not cover the terrible loss of life and property suffered in that city. Hundreds have been buried or burned without even an attempt at identification, and nc one will ever know how many were killed. But this dreadful oc- currence has its bright side. It has served to bring out the real sympathy and generosity of the American people and has fttingly answered the question, Who is my neighbor. :"

In justice to the board of equali-

In justice to the board of equali- zation, it should be stated that while the raising of the assess ments i'll the county $Io, Goo means only $53 additional taxes to the county itself, the school tax and state tax of 5 mills each are to be added to that amount. It should have been evident to any one who took the trouble to read the article -carefuiiy that the figures were giv- en merely to show how much the session of the equalization board had benefited the county alone, and, as 1t is out of the question to consider such a board as an insti- tuition to make more money for the county instead of one to equal ize assessments, the bare statement of what is the result of the pro- ceedings of the board should not be taken to be a criticism of its work.
