PRIMARIES.

The question of settling the
manner OF nominating candidates
is at this time one of the disturb
ers of the minds of voters and as
we read the majority seems to
favor primary elections under the
law, because under it every voter
has a chance at fairness.
We would favor the primary.
because the politician, in a hotly
contested election, who would re-
sort to corruption would go broke.
and such men are better citizens
when they have no corrupting
means. We wouldia primaries
because under the law they are
orderly.
The only objection we could
urge which is serious is this The
poor man would not have equal
rights and privileges with the
money favored. Money is re-
quired to hold primaries and under
the present law he could not be
come candidate, for the
reason he would not be
able to put up his part Of the ex-
pense in holding the primary.
This obviated by the party nomi-
mating becoming responsible for
primary costs and we could find
no objection to the primary under
the election law.

Over the question Of taxation
without representation our fathers
6ercely contended and won. Over
representation without taxation is
question struggling in the bos-
oms Of men. who pay before they
talk. 1t has been reported to us
by the Secretary of School Board
that about 434 voters appear
as poll tax delinquents on
school assessment for twelve
years. We would ask the tax
payers to consider this question:,
able-bodied men, intelligent men,
with an average poll delinquent
taxation for school purposes alone
amounting to S65I per year; for
IL years S7,So2. Wha. is the
remedy The law, in cases
where persons refuse or fail to pay
such obligations should be applied.
We do not believe in any favored
few. Besides. 81, ,So2 could be
used to advantage now. A chap
ell annex, where the entire school
could meet once a day, to engage
in the reading of the scriptures,
a place for vocal chorouses, gath
erings to hear famous lecturers;
a library would be Of great worth
to students. In addition to this
another room could be added, the
course extended, that a more
thorough education could be at
tanned. Let's have the S7So2, long
