gued to reduce the rate on the
ground of relieving the people
who had recently burdened
themselves with special taxes

basis Mr.. Buchanan proceeded
to criticiSe methods in vogue in
the public schools and suggested
that while he was not opposed
to public education the most eff
fective way to right matters
would be to reduce the budget
allowance. Per contra, it was
held that the budget of expenses
for 1908 had been fixed at
$50, 900, and as there had beer
no increase in the assessment il
was impossible to meet the obi

than a ten mill rate Further,

Democrats and Regulars desire the
repeal of this law Why? Because
having entire control of the election
boards, they need no special Voters
Assistants. Every official whether
Democrat or Regular, within the cleo
tiOn room becomes a Voters Assistant
to aid in a common purpose the defeat
of the Union Republican candidates.
In all of the elections gone by under
this state of affairs, the Democrats and
Regulars had no difficulty whatever in
ascertaining how every voter votes,

large. What they do object to is that
there shall be any equality in this

tion.

Regulars Not SINGER. in Their Notice.

If Benjamin Nields and others
associated together to urge the repeal
of the Voters Assistant law, were sin
cere, they would have appeared be-
fore the last Legislature and asked
that body to repeal the partisan legis-
lation of this state and secure for the
whole people a fair, impartial and
constitutional ballot by giving to those
two parties that shall poll the highest
number of votes at any preceding
election the right to equal represen-
tatiOn in the official conduct of
elections.
The equality of opportunity is not
wanted, however. 1t is discrimination
and partisan advantage to one side
that is cloaked under this mask of
hypOcritical entreaty.
