table that the 1888 miles of railroad
pay in this county $6,524.84 or an
averagelof sl85.o5 per mile while
the owner of COW pays less than
fifty-eight and half cents. These
figures can be verified at the county

lished in the World are taken from
the pen of o. S. Basford and are
just as honest as he was in his deal

Mr.. Republican Voter, when
approached by the emissaries of box
erism for your support and vote,
PROFOUND few questions and note
carefully the answers: Has not the
administration of Governor Elrod
been clean and business like? Has
there been any scandal attached to
or extravaganza charged against any
of the departments of the state dur
ing his administration, with the
exception of attorney generals
Office? Is not the occupant of that
Office boxer leader and one of the
boxer candidates for congress
Have not farm assessments been
lowered and the assessments of rail
roads, telegraph, telephone express
and sleeping car companies been
raised? 4 Is Candidate Crawford the
moral equal of Governor Elrod9 ?
Bently, of Judge Campbell? Philo
Hall of Congressman Burke? The
answer you will invariably receive
will be "the machine, the terrible
machine" Proceed further with
your questioning: Is it not your
intention to replace this machine
with another? Are there any charges
of grating against this terrible
machine either in county or state
matters9 By the way, if you are
not approached to become a boxer,
it will do no harm to go over these
questions in your own mind.

The local boxers, under the lead
ership of the notorious Ross Parks,
are closely following the tactics OF
the state boxer organization by
promising Office provided certain
goods are delivered. The latter has
promised every state Office several
times over provided you deliver
your county" 1t has developed
since Parks has gone out into the
country, that the Office of register of
deeds has been promised to three
men, county treasurer to three and
the balance OF the Offices at least
once. Always accompanied by the
same proviso bring in your town

keen politics as they figure the pos
sibility of the township being
delivered TO tnem IN any case very
slight and trust to luck to get out OF
it in some manner in case Of any of
the proposed candidates making
good. One thing should be borne
in mind by every republican-the
caucus of May 18th in no way is
connected with county matters. II
is merely an opportunity for every
republican to endorse the clean cut
administration of Governor Elrod OF
to espouse the principles of boxerlsm

For the benefit of that class Of
voters who are prepared to juggle
with their consciences and take the
oath of fealty to the republican
party in order to gain their ends,
we will say briefly that said oath
requires that they subscribe sub.
stantially to the principles OF the
party as enunciated in the last party
platform. that they have voted a
majority of the republican ticket at
the last preceding election and
intend to do 80 at the next election.
That's all, yet there are men on the
streets of Webster who boldly declare
their intention of taking this oath
who are preparing right now to put
another ticket in the field in oppo-
sition to the republican ticket in
case of their defeat.

The new editor of the Webster
World is full of plausibility which
oozes out through the columns of bis
newspaper like the flow or an
artesian well. His latest is an argu.
ment that perhaps Crawford was
right" in voting to reduce the
assessment of the Northwestern road
on account of the poor business at
that time: Query: If railroads
should have been reduced at that
time, why not the farms? Query
No. 2: If the Northwestern deserved
reduction, why not the Milwaukee,
which, according to Nipple, who
was also member of the board, Mr..
Crawford attempted to raise. Query
No 8. Has not the advance Of
81 900 per mile on the railroads Of
the state since Crawford's official
time, been at least equal to the
increase in the assessed value Of
other property, commercial value
considered? The trouble with the
explanations of the Crawfordites is
that they do not explain. Groton

L. G. Levoy, who has recently
arrogated to himself the title of
republican and been chosen by the
boxer push as chief lieutenant to
Ross Parks, advances the following
argument in conversation with those
whom he seeks to make boxers:
You have to pay forty cents
per hundred tax on your assessment,
while railroads only pay twenty two
cents per hundred. This is what
machine rule is doing for you.' In
plain language, this is a lie; in
equally plain language, Mr.. Levoy
knows It is lie. Further, he
insults the intelligence Of every man
to whom he makes such statement,
for i is an impossibility for any one
corporation or individual to pay
. diierent pro rata tax on an assess
ment. Any inequality which could
exist must be on the assessment
itself. His i only q revised edition

THAT RAILROAD TAX.

The Webster World has been
busy the past two or three weeks
making the statement that the rail-
roads pay $50 tax per mile and the
tax on the farmers COW is $3.50.
This is another of the many attempts
made by that sheet to mslead the
voters of this county. The facts Of
the matter are as follows: The
farmers COW COW is valued at SIS. 20
according to the World, according
to the county auditor of this county
the value for assessment purposes is
"cows, two years old aud over, S12,
under two years ST." 1t will be
seen the amount is here exaggerated.
The World would try to give the
impression that the farmer pays
$3.50 for keeping COW. The
editor must presume greatly upon
the ignorance of the ordinary mortal.
No man, farmer or otherwise, would
keep COW at that price. We have
taken COW at the assessed valuation
in this county, $1,000 and at the
tax rate of Webster-the highest
rate in this county-$.0479 and we
find that on COW the owner pays

hog like, are anxious to again put
their feet in the public trough. He
is shining example of the effects
of Office lust. Having served two

two terms as commissioner of the

think that his political ambitions
should he surfeited. but not So.
despairing of further honors at the
hands of the republican party, David,
viper like, bites the hand that
warmed and fed him and becomes

unknown quality in his makeup.
The records show that when he
retired from the Office of commits
sioner of school and public lands,
there was in the permanent school

which the schools of the state
derived not one cent benefit. At the
same time there was uncollected

A delinquent interest. Today,
under the present commissioner, Mr..

Quoting the common and high
schools of the state is about $1,000

secured from the interest upon the
school fund, hence the necessity OF

that fund. The above is only one
example of the business methods
applied to state affairs under the
administration of Governor Elrod
Rigidly has he insisted upon the
introduction of this system, as well
as the practice Of economy in all
branches of the state government,
and at all times have the interests
OF the plain people been protected
With such record before him why
should any republican listen to the
siren song of the insurgent Office
