COUNTY ATTORNEY.
The Telegram devotes almost q
column of its last issue defendiDa
County Attorney Latham. and in find
ing fault with the Journal for attack.
ing his record.
No one knows better than MI.
Latham himself how lenientely he
has been dealt with in this campaign.
and no one knows better than the edi.
tor Of the Telegram and the men
prominent in the councils Of the demo.
cratic party Of this county who have
been demanding Mr.. Latham's with.
drawsl from the ticket that he is moi
the man for the Office he seeks.
But the Telegram does not deny that
the taxpayers have had to hire an
assistant for MI. Latham in every i'm.
portant case to. which the county hsl
been . party.
He simply appeals to the charity Of
tho Taxpayers who have paid out this
money unnecessarily ~ saying, ."Mr.
Latham has been . sick man..
We have no harsh word to shy against
Mr.. Latham. The simple fact is that
taxpayers paid money for assistance
Just the same whether Mr. Latham
was sick or we'll. It is simply q bus
suo., u.ocosS<ion
Taxpayers, VA the Office Of county
attorney created either as q charitable
institution or as y training school fer
young attorneys? Your county attor-
ney is your hired man. II his health
is too poor to handle the work Of the
office. should You hire him and pay
him the wages of an able boiled man,
and then hire an ablebodied man at
full wages, to do his work for him
Is that the way You farmers or you
merchants conduct your private bust
ness?
On tho other hand, it he is too young
or too inexperienced to handle the
work of the Office, is it good business
employ him ut q competent mans
salary, and then hire o competent
man to perform his work? Would it
be good business for o farmer to hire
ten-year old boy from the city to
husk corr and pay him q mans wages?
Thoeo ara tho considerations that
should and will determine the choice
of county attorney.
Business and charity don't mix.
r. W. Hobart will be elected by o
neat majority because the Taxpayers
Of Platte county recognize the truth
of these considerations.

it fixes the assessed value Of the prop
erty of every man in Gage county:
The precinct assessor under the di.
rectfon Of the county assessor. Does
the new revenue law manage this:
It does not. The value is fixed by
the precinct assessor under the new
law Just the same as under the old
law.
Then it isn't the law, but the man.
ner in which it is enforced which
fixes the assessed value on property.
Who fixes the amount of school levy?
The board of directors, in each
school district. Who fixes the amount
Of the township levy?
The township beard. Who fixes the
amount Of the county levy?
The county commissioners. Does
the new law change this? 1t does
not. The levy is made under the new
law by tho same officers and in the
same manner Is under the old law.
If your taxes are higher, what made
them higher? Either the local school
board, the township board, or the
county commissioners. The new rev.
enue law had nothing to do with it
% the assessment and the levies are
made, by the same oEcers now as
under tho old law.
