Flris VIII Accept
The Nomination

1000 900 to s5o,oo0,ooO with
the power to 1evy upon all this prop
erty, makes it more important than
ever that careful, experienced, hon
est and disinterested men should
constitute this court The fact that
your body has reduced the total tax
es in the county for the present
year, instead Of increasing them,
while the taxable property has IN
creased more than six fold in value,
is evidence that the people Of the
county can trust you to look after
their interests, and your experience
viii be a great benefit to all Of us.
We have no interest in the mat
ter further than as land owners and
tax payers like yourself, and we
know That the Office Is not renun-
eratiye and that you serve at a
financial loss to yourself personally
Your large land and farming inter-
ests make your time much more val
liable if devoted to your personal
interests, to you individually, but
the people of Harrison county feel
that you ought to make the personal
sacrifice necessary to serve at least
another term while the system OF
taxation in the State is undergoing
the change provided in the new tax
laws, and while the new tax laws
are being given fair and impartial
trial; and we earnestly urge that
you give our request your careful
consideration, and become candi-
date for the office Of county COM
missioner.
We viii consider it a personal
favor to ourselves and the other tax
payersof the county if you will con-
sent to make this race.

Dear sir-The time for select
ing candidates to ELL the different
county Offices is near at hand, and
the people owe a duty to Themselves
to see that proper selections are
made. We have nothing to say as
to the character, standing or ability
Of any Of the persons who have an
nounced themselves as candidates
for the different Offices, and can
cheerfully support any person who
receives the nomination at the hands
of the Republican party; but we do
feel vitality interested in the selec-
ton Of county commissioner, and
want to emphasize that interest, and
to call the attention Of the people Of
the county to the importance OF
making a proper choice
The county commissioners con-
stituting the local governing body,
exercise powers and discharge dut-
les Of great importance They fix
the amount of money that The citi-
zens shall contribute to the public
good, and disburse and expend the
same. By reason Of lowering the
! ra+e Of taxation and by an extrava-
CANT or economic administration OF
county affairs, they can lower OF
raise the value of all property in the
county.
Your course as member Of that
court in the past, has been highly
Satisfactory, and should meet the
hearty approval Of every property
owner in the county, regardless OF
party Affiliations. We know you
have been a careful and conscien-
tious public servant. and the aft
fairs Of the county are in splendid
condition. AT the close of your
present term we find the county free
from an debts, and the county pub
lie Improvements in frstclass shape.
There are no bonded obligations OF
the county such as exist N great
many counties of the State, which
viii burden the people for years IN
those counties, and the bonds yot-
ed to the railroad company some
years before your election to the
amount of fifty thousand dollars,
have been cancelled and destroyed,
largely BY your efforts.
The rate of taxation is so low 10
/ the county as to seem almost nm
reasonable to people living IN other
counties. The new tax laws as
carried into effect by the present
county court, are resulting IN great
and the laborers, farmers and small
good to the people Of our county,
property owners are now, and Will
be greatly benefited by the new
laws, SO long as they are intelligent
| ly administered. The vast increase
of the taxable value Of the proper
ty in the county from a total OF
