viii Railroads be Taxed Morel
Mr.. Dawson saws if he is elected

Will Railroads be Taxed Morel
Mr.. Dawson says if he is elected
governor he will make the railroads
pay more taxes than they are now
paving. No one will dispute that
the only way to judge the future
is to judge it by the past. Mr..
Dawson by virtue of his Office has
been for seven years secretary of
the B ,ard of Public Works, whose
duty il is to assess the railroads,
and Gov. White by virtue of his
office has been president of this
Board for nearly four years. Now
if the assessed value of the rail-
roads has been increasing every
year then is it safe to say that Mr..
Dawson means it when he says he
will assess the railroads at their
true and actual value,
In 1896 when Mr.. Dawson was
elected Secretary of State the
railroads we're assessed at $22 2,323,-
060 In 1901, after Mr.. Dawson
had been secretary of the Board of
Public Works four years, the rail-
roads were assessed at $22. .297, ,710,
or decrease of S25, $50.
Everybody knows that more
railroads had been built and that
the property had greatly increased
since 1896 In the face of these
facts is it reasonable to suppose
that Mr.. Dawson will even insist
on increasing the valuation of the
railroadsP There will only be one
change in the Board of Public
Works if Dawson is elected. Clark
May, recognized representative
of the railroads will fill Judge
Freer's place.

Foul Murder.

New Martinsyille, October lS.-
Late Sunday night, as a result of
a longstanding grudge, Columbus
King killed Leonard Morris. both
residing at -Four Mile. About q
week prior to the murder of the
wives of King and Morris had
some trouble over their children,
which seemingly stirred up the old
grudge, and Sunday night Morris
went down to Kings place of busi-
ness and asked him to come out.
King, taking this as challenge,
became very indignant, and said
he would meet him at any place
and at any time. King stepped
from his door and fired two shots
with his revolver into the body of
Morris.
The bullets not taking immedi-
ate effect, King advanced and
pounded Morris over the head with
the revolver. breaking his head
almost into b pulp. The bystand-
ers pulled King off Morris as soon
as they could realize the situation
but he died before they were sepa-
rated. King is livery man at
Four Mile, married and has fam.
lily.
Morris works in the oil field and
has family. Both are natives OF
