Mr.. Editor. what has become of

built across the Arkansas west Of
La Junta9 AS we understand it
an appropriation for the bridge
was made by the Legislature year
ago, but since last spring the whole
scheme has been sleeping a sleep
as sound as though it were in its
grave. We, Mr.. Editor, are con-
siderably interested in this matter
as it will bring La Junta one and 4
halt or two miles nearer this COM
munity than it is at present. The
new bridge across the river east Of
Rocky Ford shortened the distance
to that burg nearly two miles and
the road to the Ford is much bet
ter than that to LaJunta. Hence II
matters are not balanced up some
way La Junta is going to be the
loser.

READ THE ACTS

While the assessment at real value
may lightly raise the valuation OF
your property the fact that the
levies will be cut in half will more
than balance the increase. Do not
forget that when Democratic orators
are misrepresenting the tax laws
Journal
The ARGUS is glad to note that
the Journal admits that the new tax
bill will eighty raise The valuation
Of property" The farmers will dis.
cover this later on, and those who
have been misrepresenting to them
that il will not increase their tax
will have another Misrepresentation
coming to them when they ask the
farmers to vote for the men who
prsented them with the gold brick
OF taxation. II the new tax bill
operated against all taxpayers alike
there would be no necessity of ex.
planning TO the farmers that their
tax bill takes effect January, 1905,
and the corporations and railroads
tax bill goes into effect January I 600
Is that what the Journal means when
it says that 'the levies will be cut
in half" in order to "balance the
increase7" Are we TO understand
that the farmers and small property
holders will be allowed to pay the
"cut in half for four long years
before the corporations and rail
roads step in to "balance the in
crease ?"
Farmers, Of Preston read the acts
for yourself and do not depend up
on the political documents sent you
by the Republican or Democratic
party. If you fnd that the Acts
corresponds with the representation
of the Republican newspapers and
orators, that it lowers your taxes,
you will be justified in voting for
the Republican party If you find
that they have been misrepresendng
the new tax bill to you, then it is
! your duty to support the Democratic
ticket. TIVE ARGUS desires to be
fair in this matter Of Tax Reform.
| All it asks of the farmers and small
/ property holders is 90 read the new
tax bill. Ifyou can figure any way
other than it will increase your
taxes The ARGUS is frank to say
that it does not understand the
language Of the bill.
Remember that Bill Dawson, Joe
| Davis, Baldwin Frccland and Sam
! Montgomery and A. c. Dayton
stand for the new tax bill

TnB POLL TAX.

In its report, the State Tax Com.
mission recommended an amend
men, to the constitution requiring
the payment OF his poli.tax before
a man should be allowed to vote.
In so recommended a constitution
al convention and, speaking of its
cost, said:
"Such costs would be inconsider-
able, and the prediction rs ventured
that with a constitutional change an
improved method of collecting poll
taxes alone would more than pay
the cost in any year succeeding such
convention. As the matter now
stands, there are near a quarter OF a
million OF polls in the State, and
not more than one hundred and
seventy-ive thousand Of them pay
taxes. Make the payment of such
tax a condition precedent to the
right OF the person against whom il
is assessed to vote, and the tax will
be paid by him or some one for him;
and no wrong would be done, for
the delinquent poll taxes are mostly
assessed against that portion Of our
population that is neither assessed
with or pays any other tax, and it
would not be amiss to deny the right
to direct the administration OF the
government to him who contributes
nothing TO its support. Yet this
may not be done under the present
constitution.
Whilst Gov. White was recon-
mending amendments to the con-
stitution to be submitted by the
Legislature at the extra session, why
did he not propose this poll.tax
amendment And why did the Re-
publican members of the Legislature
refuse to submit such an amendment
when the Democrats proposed it2
Were they afraid of loosing the
votes Of the negroes who would fail
to pay the poll-tax1 And was that
fear a proper excuse for their refusal
to submit the amendment With
$50, 900 voters in the State, only
ITS, 900 OF whom pay the poll.tax,
it is easy to see that such an amend
ment would have brought SIS, 900
into the State treasury for the ben
eft of the school fund. Here was
chance to get seventy five thou
sand dollars very easily aud from
class of voters who pay nothing.
Why did they throw it away p
