TO THE TAXPAYERS and VOTERS OF
COLUMBIA COUNTY

Several articles have recently ap.
peared in th= county newspapers in
which are urged the expending of
large sums of money in bnilding
additions to the Court House.
If this should be done it would be
adding heavy burden to the pre-
sent high tax rate and large county
debt.
| feel therefore, that, as the reg.
ular nominee of the Repblican Party
Tor the office of County Commits
sioner, and asking the suffage of
the people, should give to the
voters and taxpayers of the county
clear statement of the position l
shall take in the matter if elected.
There is absolutely no necessity
for rebuilding or making additions
to the Court House.
/ believe in taking the best care
of the property belonging to the
county, in keeping the buildings in
pro er repair, and the bridges and
highways safe so that the people to
whom they belong shall be able to
use them in comfort or travel in
safety; but do not believe in heap
ing upon the shoulders of the tax
payers of our county any increase of
Indebtedness or taxation beyond
what is plainly necessary to the
proper preservation and care of the
property for the use and needs of
the people.
If the voters of the county shall
honor me by electing me as one of
the Board of Commissioners, l
pledge myself to look carefully and
conscientiously after the interests of
every tax payer and the whole
people, and to exert every effort to
reduce the county debt and to lessen
the burden of tax on the people and
to conduct the Office with out any
waste of public funds.

Prohibition candidate for mine in

In real life Mr.. Llewellyn is a

He is the son of pioneer individual

trust by his resolution in the house, ar
raigns Commissioner Garfield and his
report on the investigation of the Chi
cago packers.
Mr.. Martin characterizes the "sum-

to give false impression of the very
facts contained in the body of the re-
port itself. Whoever prepared this
preliminary summary says Mr.. Mar
tin, "has performed a service to the
big packing companies under investiga-
ton by misleading public opinion for
the moment as to the real quality of
the report"

TOLSTOI is PRONOUNCED
In HIS NEW ANARCHY

London, March II-Count Tolstoi,
in a. 4letter to The Times Of London,
which was published this morning
says that he regards not only the Rus
sian government, but all governments
as intricate institutions sanctifed by
traditions and customs for the purpose
Of committing by violence and with i'm
punlty, the most dreadful social
crimes, He therefore thinks the ef-
forts of those who wish to improve So
cial life, should be directed to the lib
Grafton Of themselves from the gov
ernments whose futility in these times
is becoming moro and more obvious"
This object could only be attained
by the unique means of religious1y and
morally perfecting separate individuals.
In conclusion Count Tolstoi says that
i'll America, France, Germany, Japan
and England, the pernicious character
OF the governments is so marked that
those belonging to those nations point
to events, in Russia and naiyely imag-
iile what is done in Russia is done only
i'll Russia, while they enjoy complete
freedom and need no improvement of
their positions. IS, i
r. But" he adds, ''they live in more
hopeless state Of slavery--the slavery
of slaves, who do not know they are
slaves and pride themselves on their
positions as slaves! The fact is that
every form of government is in the
essence, a great and unnecessary evil,
therefore the aim of both the Russians
and all rneil should not be to replace
one form of government with another,
but TO free themselves from every gov
ernment and abolish II. - x ~

REFOR THE SENATE
BY PRIMARY ELECTION

Chicago, March II.-Walter Well
man in a. Washington special to The
Record Herald says:
To make the United States senate
more directly responsive to public
opinion by the adoption OF the pri-
mary system of choosing senator's is
the object Of a movement which has
already started in the Mississippi Val
ley and which bids fair TO grow in the
near future till it assumes formidable
proportions.
This movement is for the most part
within the republican party and is in
the nature of a protest against the
failure or refusal of the senate to en-
act railway rate legislation during the
session just closed The failure Of the
senate to take up this subject in earn
est was a bitter disappointment TO the
people OF the west, and they have but
little confidence the senate will do any
thing, much less that it will do the
right thing in}the future.
The people in the west for one rea-
son or another, have grown largely to
looksupon the senate as body SO far
removed from public opinion that ii is
only with the greatest difficulty and by
dints of persistent pressure that it can
be induced to pay any heed to the pop
ular will In so far as the leaders oil
the esInoyerlent express public sentiment
il rs not radical or revolutionary
agitation that IS now starting.
There is Recognition OF the fact that
the senate was designed by the farmers
of the constitution to stand as a check
upon clamor and waves Of popular
einotionalism such ais the house 5of rep
resciltatives, il was carly perceived,
might and probably would Be directly
affected BY. 1t is conceded that in this
its peculiar and distinctive role, the up
per branch Of our national legislature
has played an important and at times
a most useful part { 1t is we'll enough
to have the senate act as a check, &, say
the leaders of the movement, "but we
do not wish il to operate as a choke 3
Among the leaders OF the new move

of which he is capable, a campaign for
