Another chapter in the war between
the citizens living along the Mt. Peas
ant pike and the management OF the
TURNPIKE occurred Tuesday. DIR. h. u.
Grant, who lives on the pike about
three miles from town, being the citizen
over whom the trouble arose. There
are Two versions of the affair, neither
agreeing with the other except In ore
particular, and that is that DR.. Grant
was chased down the pike from one OF
the toll gates by IA woman named Mrs.
Anderson, who keeps one of the toll
gates, and her brother, Lloyd Cross,
Mrs. Anderson being armed with shot
gun and Mr.. Cross being armed with
rocks. =,
According to the story which Mrs.
Anderson tells, DR.. Grant tried to pass
through the gate yesterday morning
without paying toll and on the gate
being shut on him he tore it down ana
went on his way, grossly insulting Mrs.
Anderson, she says, while he was tear
ing down the gat. Tuesday night as
Dr. Grant was going home he again
81 u hit TO pass through the gate with
out paying toll, it is claimed, but the
gate was again closed down on him.
He then tried to force the gate open,
when Mrs. Anderson's brother, Mr.
Cross, came out of the house and notl-
fed DR.. Grant that he must stop; that
he had already insuted his sister and
he would not stand for any more of 1t:
About that time Mrs. Anderson emerged
from the house with shot gun, and at
the sight of it, DIR. Grant. it is said,
turned his buggy and drove at fast
clip away, going through the Akin
farm.

IL seems that one OF our late ad,

strong enough to stand the entire

landed IL In this city. In consequence
the mail sack was very literally
sprinkled with the fine grained fra,

TAKE OFF THE TAX REeIsTRA
TION ON VOTING.

me new city council should unite
in asking the Marion county delega
tion to strike out Of the Greater Salem
charter the road poll tax qualification
imposed on voters.
It is wrong in principle to impose
any taxing or property qualifications
on the voter.
In its practical operation it will re.
suit in less and less payment of the
tax. and less voting.
Even on the one trial made In the
four wards of the old city, the result
was to keep many from voting and to
keep many from paying.
Men will neither vote or pay under
compulsion. The freer men are to
cast their ballot and the more difficult
to bribe, and the more secret the bal
lot the better the result in good gov.
ernment.
The educational influence of the
poll tax restriction is evil, and evil
only. The object lesson Of the young
man or first voter casting a ballot, for
which some candidate or campaign
committee puts up $500 Is not en-
nobling.
Thinking men of all parties will
agree that the poll tax restriction
should be abolished before there is an.
other city election, and that will have
to be done at the special session.
