This Indebtedness can be met

fronts u.s."
Here are other quotations from the
saDe report, showing the demand OF
the fusionists at that time for a new
revenue law:
THE persistent effort Of the county
authorities to shift the burden Of state
taxes by lowering the assessed valuation
Of property within the counties has re-
suited In decreasing the revenues Of the
state"
"Cnder h present conditions. the
variation Of one mill limits the power Of

1.-The inequalities resulting from the
present construction and enforcement Of
the revenue law relating to assessment
and taxation Is aGitating the minds Of
the people. Immediate legislation is de-

are not sufficient to meet the Outstand-

In Governor P0ynter's message to
the legislature ON January 3. 1901. ha
said:
"Ine Treasurer very justly remarkA
that q thorough revision Of the revenue

So they admitted that the debt was

CLEAN Foot BILL.

There is always moro or less opp0r-
tunity in Q game Of foot ball for rough
and ungentlemanly PLAYING. It has
been said that the game Of last Satur-
day showed features that might better
have been omitted. We believe in red
blood; but we believe in the kind that
displays itself in fair, square and
manly conduct. The thing. above all
else, that is to be gained from .
strenuous game of foot ball is elf-dis-
cipline: the ability to ''srin and bear
ito come mp smiling. take defeat
without blubbering. to win without
clustering and boasting. and to depOrt
ones SELF in q gentlemanly manner
under trying circumstances. The
teachers in our schools approve Of the
game only when conducted on these
lines. The boy who forgets to honor
himself, his team and his high school
by manly conduct is not a dit member
for q foot ball team. We believe in
Our high school team We have faith
in the good intentions Of our boys.
and We want them to vin upon merit
and merit only or 60 down in honor.
able defeat.
Governor Mickey mildly asks the
fusion spell binders why they did not
appear before the state board of
assessment and equalization and give
that body the benefit of their marvel
Gus knOwledge Of tax matters. The
same crowd which held itself aloof
when the board "a graphing with
weighty revenue problems, showed
by its silence then that it either was
Indifferent on possessed no ideas worth
communicating to the board.
Now that the campaign is on, how
suddenly this crowd has awakened to
the importance of the "Tevenue ques-
tion." and each agitator has suddenly
developed into . revenue expert.
1t is the old trick of the opposition
sitting idle when there is work to
be done, and getting busy only when
the work ia. completed, and the time
has arrived when they can tell what
should have been done, and what they
would have done had they had the
pOwer.-Ex.
A canvass of the situation in Buffalo
county on the revenue law. which has
been the main issue of the fusion cam.
paign managers, shows that the tide
has turned in favor of sustaining tho
new revenue Law. Many hundreds of
taxpayers whose property has in
creased in value will really pay less
taxes. Many others whose valuations
have been considerably increased i'd
NIT that they have got the stuff, and
are not complaining. In some in
stances the increased tax has been
caused by excessive township or school
district levies, and almost invariably
tho state and county taxes-which is
the real test lis lower than in 1908.
As q matter of fact that revenu law
buRbear has been pretty effectually
disposed of.-Kearney Hub.
