The Galloway Tribune tells his
readers that the corporations
made the revenue law with a hole
III it so they could get out of
about so per cent Of their taxes
and hold the farmers for the full
amount. Had this been true why
did they furnish the campaign
fund to defeat the republican
party in the last election? Had
the republican Legislature done
their work satisfactory to the
corporations would they have not
lent their assistance to keep
the republicans in power in the
the state? The facts are as soon
as the corporations saw they were
defeated at the polls and there
was no possibility of getting out
of their taxes by having the law
repealed, they went into the
courts to try to accomplish what
they failed to do with the voters.
The opinion of the REPUBLICAN
is that they will not succeed in

Hon. A. II. Copsey of Wester-
vile, was a city visitor Saturday
on return trip from Lincoln,
where he had been to participate
in the seat drawing in the house.
The former custom of Arranging
the seats in the order of registrat-
ion to the members Of the legis-
lature was changed to the plan
of drawing, Undef the old plan
it was charged that few me M
bers near the capital would rush
in and register and thus secure
the choice seats. The lottery
plan did not prove any more
satisfactory than the old plan.
All that were not fortunate in
getting the best locations now
feel that they would have stood
a better chance bad the first in
first served rule been observed.
Mr.. Copsey however has no COM
plant as he secured good loca-
ton.

they find "hole through which

The Callawaw Tribune is en-
deavoring to build up a clrcula-
tion by advocating division. If
the voters of Custer county will
recall how utterly the Tribune
man, r. E. Brega, failed in his
last effort for county division,
they will not break their necks
in their rush to get their names
on his list TO help along the
county division scheme. If we
remember correctly the scheme
for county division failed the
last time it was submitted by
about 1900 votes. The majority
of the taxpayers have said time
and again by their votes that
they do not want the county di-
vided, and renewed agitation
of the question is calculated to
do harm and unsettle values.
Everyone who does not believe it
for the best interests of the peo-
pie of the county should refuse to
lend encouragement by contribut-
ing to the fund or signing petit
ton calling for vote. No vote
can be ordered unless a majority
of all the voters of last election
petition that an election be called
for that purpose. Had the peo-
),le never had an opportunity to
vote on the question the right by
petition should not be denied but
since they have so emphatically
expressed their opposition to it a
further agitation should not be
sanctioned or encouraged by sign
ing petition.

Representative Brick OF Indiana Is

Another result of the Illinois outcome,
