If no unusual court proceedings occur
for year or so, the county levy can
be reduced, we are informed. as we
are fast getting out Of debt.
The Advocates representation that
we now have nothing to show for the
larger amount paid in is absolutely
false. Not many years ago one mill
county road tax was added and re-
mains each year, the money from
which has been put into heavy grad
ing of the roads and any one can see
the good results from that increase. The
bridges are more numerous than they
used to be and they are better. AL
most always when one is removed it
is replaced by better one with better
approaches. The board of supervise
Ors has been composed of careful,
conservative, able men Of affairs, men
who have succeeded at their own bust
ness and who have given good ser
vice to the county Take HOegh, Car
mire, Stanley, BOnwell, Shingledeck
er and even Mr.. Hamlin, we think
they are men who have done the best
service for the county. They have al
ways been ready to listen to sugges-
tiOnS from citizens as to better meth
DDS of conducting county business.
Some have thought that taxes are
higher in Audubon than in surround
igg counties. We have before US the
Cass county levy for 1903 and observe
that the average levy in the townships
for this county that year was 30 mills
and in Cass county it was 3l.l mills.
The average levy in incorporated
towns that year in this county was
55.2 mills and in Cass county 55.4
mills. The county levy that year in
this county was l2.4 mills and in
Cass 1875 mills. The valuation Of
land was higher also in Cass than in
Audubon county.
1t is right for the Advocate to in
quire where the taxes go but it is not
right for it to falsify as to the facts
and try to mislead and confuse the
people. The general argument and
evident intent of the whole article
quoted above is misleading. No
point in it is more so than the one re-
lating to schools. That reference to
the schools of the county is an insult
to the several school boards of the
county and every member on them.
The Advocate has evidently tried to
confuse school taxes with county taxes.
1t has purpOsely or ignOrantly mrs
stated the facts as to teachers wages.
Trying to create mystery as to where
the money goes it says, referring to a
few years ago, ''if any difference you
then paid your teachers little higher
wages" Here is table showing the
teachers wages in the county for the
past twelve years:

The Representative District Amend

The amendment to the constitution
of Iowa providing for an increase in
the number of representatives to one
hundred and eight is deserving of the
support of every voter. The member
ship of the house of representatives is
now one hundred and the districts are
appOrtiOned by dividing the popula-
ton of the state by that number, and
counties having certain excess of
population above the ratio SO found
have two representatives. At present
six counties have two representatives
each and six other districts are com
posed of two counties each. AS the
population of the state increases the
the larger gain will be in the cities
and in time twenty six counties will
each have one senator and two rep
resentatives giving them a majority
in both branches of the legislature.
while the seventy three smaller
counties will be in the minority. Au-
less than one half the legal ratio is
this amendment, which provides that
the ratio of representation shall be
ascertained by dividing the population
of the state by the number of counties
and that each county shall be repre-
sentative district and that each county
having an excess of population of three
fifths over the ratio shall have two
representatives, but such additional
representatives shall be confined to
the nine counties having the greatest
population. Workers should be at
each polling place in the county to
see that all, regardless of party, vote
for this amendment A. Fl. EDWARDS.

The Biennial Amendment

Speakinr Of the biennial election
amendment last week the Advocate
said "SOme use as an argument in
favor Of it's passage, that it was al
most unanimous in the legislature but
the voters should not forget that the
senators and representatives were
voting to extend their own term. -
The Advocate is under miSsappre-
hensiOn. They were only voting to
submit it to the people. Some who
voted to submit the amendment eX-
pressed themselves as against it as a
measure.
Further the Advocate said: "IOu
should also observe that many strong
editorials in favor of it, are found in
papers where the editor is now senator
ar representative and such editorials
are clipped as weighty authority"
We also notice that many strong
editorials against it "are found in
papers where the editor is now" per-
sOnnally interested in the printing
which comes to him because of the
election each year, such as the pub
fishing of the election proclamation
in his paper, the publishing of the
official ballot in his paper, or the
printing of the ballots, etc. and that
'such editorials areclipped as weighty
authority" sometimes.
Speaking candidly to our readers,
it is difficult to eliminate ones selfish
interests in any public measure. AS
to the REPUBLICANS course in this
matter, it is consistent. When the
same amendment was up four years
ago when it was adopted by 10000
majority but ruled out by the supreme
court on it's irregular submissiOn) the
REPUBLICAN supported it enthusiast
tically, and did it from purely patriotic
motives. We believed then as we
believe now that we had better elect
our state, county and township officers
all at once and have no election next
year, rather than to elect them piece
meal, half one year and half the next,
and save expense, time and worry.
Three fourths of the states of the
union do that. Iowa is surtieted with
politics.

School Notes.

The A grade in the ninth room COM
mences the study of "Snow Bound"

Minnie Rasmussen of Fiscus has en-
tered the A grade in the eighth room.
A large number of enthusiastic high
school students attended the foot ball
game between our high school team
and Manning's, an account of which
appears elsewhere. The boys talk of
going to Harlan to play Saturday.
Marie Adams, who has been at the
St. Louis exposition the past two
weeks, returned to school again Mon
day.
The high school girls are very
much enthused over their gymnasium
work. They want to organize q bas-
ket ball team.
There will be mothers meeting next
Wednesday afternoon in the high
school room.
The A class have sent for some
beautiful class pins this week.

From these tables the very opposite
is shown from what the Advocate
states. These are the local school
boards own affairs and not the
cOunty's. They are spending more
on their schools than they used to.
The Advocate evidently wants to take
us back to democratic times when we
spent less because we had less to
spend. We observe, incidentally,
that the lowest average the county
paid for school teachers wages was in
the last twelve years was in
the two years the editor of the AdvO-
cate was perintendent, his last year
being the very lowest. The superin-
tendpnt can influence the wages some.
Mr.. Spencer was evidently working
for his ideal.

Donaldson & Lidd.

From tho shenandoah world.
The Friedman clothing store, which
has been identified with Shenandoah
for several years, has been sold to
Messrs. Donaldson q Lidd, and po-
session will be given them as soon as
the invoice, which is now being made,
is completed The deal was closed
yesterday, although these gentlemen
have been considering the matter for
two weeks or more. They were here
about two weeks ago, looked the
store and ground over, and finally
decided the outlook was sufficiently
promising to Justify them in locating
here.
O. G.. Donaldson, the senior member
Of the new firm, is at present the re-
cOrder of Audubon county and will
irish his second term there the first
of the coming January. He does not
expect to move here until about the
first of June, because he does not
want to take his children out of their
school work which they are in. He
has a family of a wife and six children,
three of whom will come with him; two
sons are of age and doing for them
selves and one daughter is in Drake
University.
James Lidd, the junior member of
the firm, is an experienced clothing
man, and will come here Immediately
with his family-just as soon as he
can find a suitable house and get them
moved. His family consists of his
wife and two children. He was for
merly in the clothing business in
Audubon, and sold out there three
months ago.
This new clothing firm have come
to a good town and have bought out
good business, and there is NO
reason why they should not do we'll
here if they put the proper amount and
kind of energy and push into it.

Our Congressman.

Audubon should give Congressman
Walter |. Smith an enthusiastic well
come and big meeting when he comes
here next Wednesday. Audubon
county people feel interested in him
and in his career. They first became
acquainted with him when he was
Judge of the district court, coming
here once a year and remaining a
week or two hearing cases. They
learned to like him for his social
qualities and to respect and admire
him for his manly character and his
ability as q Judge. When he became
candidate for congress this county
was one Of the very first counties in
the district that got in line for him.
1t has since stood by him at each con-
gressiOnal convention and election.
Judge Smith has now served in
congress four years. He is fulfilling
the expectations of his friends who
predicted he would have an eminent
career if he remained there through
the necessarily long time to get the
advantage of precedence in service.
He has already secured membership
on the appropriations committee, the
second committee of Importance in the
house. Sometimes appropriations is
even Of as much Importance as ways
and means. Joe Cannon stepped
from the craftsmanship of appropri-
ations into the speakership. Judge
Smith may be chairman of appropri-
atiOns before many years. His legal
ability, his ability as a speaker, his
unusual qualities of intellect and his
social qualities, his great fund of
information and his knowledge of
men, of human nature, and of politics
make him peculiarly we'll fitted to the
life of u congressman.
Let our people fill the court room
to its full capacy and listen to his
speech next Wednesday night.

Leap Year Picnic.

The first leap year picnic OF the
young ladies last night. They were
gathered first in Joe Torian's big
pleasure wagon drawn by four hors-
es. Then they went for the gentle
men, their rendezvous being the court
house park. They left Roswell at $3.50
and drove out through the farms and
back to the Hondo bridge where they
stopped for refreshments. The boys
who had taken the lunch spread the
kets with the energy always display
ed by those unused to that kind of
labor. And the good things they had.
Fried chicken, sandwiches of every
kind, lobster salad, deviled eggs, wa
termelon, peach and vanilla ice cream
nabisco and many of the delicacies
found on a well appointed table. The
young ladies appreciated the lunch,
Inc the gentlemen appreciated what
a lot of thought the ladies had here
tofore spent on the lunches of the
picnics given by them. After refresh
ments they returned to the wagon
and the rest of the way home jokes
followed by the inevitable laughter,
and snatches of popular songs filed
the air. 1t will be a memorable pic
mic to the boys because they had to
prepare the lunch (Which most of
them did and to the girls because
there were more boys there than
girls.
