 Now then, itisa fair question to put right here Why did not the democratic board of superyis ofs demand from Sheriff Turner the stub books for personal pro. perty taxes collected each year2 And more than all why was not showing demanded when at the end of the year 1903 there was ap- parent right on the face of it that there was falling of in collections during the year of nearly S420000? What business man or corporation is there who would not institute rigid investigation when there was very plainly apparent upon the face of the balance sheet in sim gle year falling off of more than S4,00000? Yet without saying word the democratic administra- tion of Santa Cruz county went along through the year 1904, and permitted the same official to go along in the same way and ac- complish an additional falling off of nearly $30000 more. Discre- pancies so glaring as those in the personal property taxes collected in the years 1903 and 1904 when compared with the year 1902 are not permitted to go unchallanged in any business. Why did the democratic administration of af- fairs in Santa Cruz county during those years permit 1t? Facts like these cannot be evaded in the way that the Vidette is trying to evade them.
 Here is another paragraph from the grand jury report under con sideration:
 "The expert reports that two person. al property tax receipts have been pre- sented to the present County Treasurer | They are signed by the Assessor. One | is to Apolonio Aldav, for $662, and is dated May g. 1904 The other is to E.. | L. Oakes for SS. 10, dated July 30, 1904. i The expert asserts that there Is no re- cord upon the books of those two cash i items Treasurer 0'keefe testified to :, this grand jury that the two receipts i instanced were presented to him by the i holders. Here is another case where 1 the absence of the stub books prevents a check.
 Now, then, another fair question: How many of the stubs in the mis- sing property tax receipt books for ! 1903 and 1904, were attached to receipts like the two instanced, that were given for money paid by the property owner to the Assessor and said money never returned to the public treasury?
 Beside the foregoing matters it was shown by the experts report and the grand jury's investigations that as sheriff MT. Turner had col Tlected illegally the sum of $773.25 which the grand jury instructed the district attorney to enter suit against Turner and his bondsmen for collection. The suit is pending now in the courts.

leRed fh tbe last paragraph of tho oriele quoted tbtt county scrip wos worth gS cents on fhc dollar ih 1902 bod Che newspaper quoted loses sight of the fact that 1903 and lg04 were years of democratic administration in Santa Cruz county, and when Chat administra- ton terminated scrip was worth but a little more than SO cents on the dollar During two years of an administration republican in part only the price of scrip has risen to ST cents on the dollar, and all the funds of the county except the road fund, are nearly on a cash basis. In defending the last dem ocratic administration of county affairs the Vidette should have in- cluded in its defence the years 1903-4, for it was within those years, probably, that the damage was done.
 Now with regard to the personal property taxes collected by Sheriff Turner, as assessor: The grand jury at the December, 1904 term of the district court employed an ex- pert to examine the books and &C., counts of the various officials of Santa Cruz county, and report to the succeeding grand jury the re- suit of his investigations. That re- port was made and submitted to the grand jury at the April, 1905, term of the same court. In that grand jury the entire report was gone over carefully, checked up and verified, and various county officials examined with regard thereto. A large part of the ex. pert's report was copied entire in the report of the grand jury to the court. The latter mentioned re- port is on file in the court. The experts report is on file in the of flee of the recorder-at least the report of the grand jury says so. Copying from the report of the ex- pert the grand jury report says:
 "The Assessor has no stub books of personal property taxes collected except for the year 1903. For the years 1901, 1902 and 1901 all are missing"
 Upon its own account the grand jury report follows with the two paragraphs now quoted:
 "The present County Treasurer Con O'keefe testified that such IS the case.
 ''In this connection the grand jury would call attention to the fact that the experts report shows the personal pro- perty taxes collected under investiga- tion are as follows:
 "IgOl 1902 1903 1901
 "$35S5.S 80 $5773.17 $1591.57 $l296 l0''
 There are the figures of the money actually turned in from the col lection of personal property taxes in the four years of democratic administration of county affairs. The last two years were democratic as we'll as the first two. Why does the Vidette attempt to lump of the last two years? Those years are under review and criticism The democratic party is under

Our New superintendent.

The London, KY, Echo prints a
lengthy notice of the Teachers Insti-
tute just closed there, and this is what
it has to say of the new Superintend-
ent of the Paris City Schools:
The institute is being conducted
by Prof. George w. Chapman, of Paris,
who was selected as instructor, and it
was the opinion of all who attended
that no better selection could have
been made. Prof. Chapman is a man
of forcetul character, of great intel
lectual ability, and if the teachers give
due attention to his instruction, the pu-
pills of the county who attend our
schools will be benefited to a greater
extent than for many years.

OUR PROPOSED LIBRARY.

Lie prospects for the erection Of 4
library building in Barre this year are
growing less with each succeeding week.
The Aldrich library trustees secured
plans for q building that could be erected
with the means at their command, and
were ready to ask for bids two months
ago, but q number Of granite manu-,
facturers expressing desire to have
granite used, the trustees had new plans
lnads showing granite, with the under
standing that an effort would be made
Oh the part Of the manufacturers u
make up the additional cost. Bids we're
asked for and before they were received
a city meeting was called to see il the
citizens would vote tax to pay the
additional cost Of constructing the build
ing Of granite. The meeting refused TO
vote anything by taxation A few, still
feeling that the building should be con.
stralcted Of granite, met and asked the
trustees for further time in which to
agitatc the use Of granite. The result
of the two months agitation, meetings
and conferences is thai the architect
has been asked TO prepare elevation plans
for q rock-face granite building, when
steps viii be undertaken To raise the
$1,000 additional necessary TO construct
such building. If this move succeeds
no building can be erected this year, and

"The matter has attracted much attention
and been discussion extensively in the

the impression at Toxic when l left was
that it was purely a local matter and was
confined to San Francisco. No one believes
that the United States wishes to discrim-
mate against japanese.
Foreigners in Japan believe that the
Japanese will attempt to divert Transports
