PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE TOWN
OF WINFIELD.

In discussing the necessity fol
the different public utilities Of
the town of WINFIELD we have al
ways placed waterworks the most
needed above every other I'M
provement that can be sugges
ted. The health of the town il
the first and most important mat
ter that should engage the atten-
ton of those in charge of the
municipal officers, therefore the
certain way of guaranteeing thai
result is to provide supply Of
pure water, then we can show
town with good health record
The next most important mat
ter to be looked after is the pro-
lection of property. That car
only be done by having a good
system of waterworks that will
protect the property from devas-
tation by fire.
We will now take up the take:
incident and the cost of main
tanning waterworks system
The taxes it would require to in
augurate a wateru orks system is .
mere bagatelle compared with
the taxes in the way of doctors
and druggists bills and the in.
creased rate of insurance which
has to be paid by the citizens of :
town who have to drink impure
water and have no fire protection
There has been considerable dis
cussion as to the mode of raising
the money for these public util
tiles. A bond issue has been dis
cussed, also the necessity oil
good streets. We will agree that
good streets are imperitive, and
that a market house and a town
hall are also necessity in town
OF the size of Winnield, but why
the necessity of making a bond
issue on which we would have to
pay interest to grade our streets
and build a market house when
we have not exhausted the reve-
nues that can be levied by the
council? The limit of taxation
has not beer reached by the
council Let us see to what
amount the revenues from taxes
could be raised. An assessment
of 5000, 900 at 10 mills on the
dollar would yield a revenue of
three thousand dollars alone.
The license will not be less than
5000. The fines about the same
amount, making I revenue of
$1,000. What are the expenses?
Mayor, 5000; marshal, 5000;
street commissioner, 5000; cost
OF collection, 500; secretary and
treasurer, 500. making total Of
$1,000, which would leave a
balance of S2.3oo to put the
streets in order and provide a
fund to build a market house,
Town prison and town hall. In
Iide of FIVE years we would have
he town hall, prison anc market
house paid for and no interest to-
pay. The same can be done with
he waterworks.
We are opposed to running into
bond issue without making our
igures FIRST: and we would not be |

ARE FIXING PAPERS
DETAILS OF ONE 4 NEWSPAPER
DEAL MADE PUBLIC.
State Oil Inspector Secures Support Of
Former Republican Paper at Red
wood Falls in Return for 1000 Sub
scriptions for the Campaign-other
Deals Are Pending.

Democratic appointees Of Governor
johnson are doing some strenuous work
in lining up country newspapers for
their campaign work. The facts OF one
recent deal have come into possession
of republicans in Redwood county, who
are giving them wide publicity.
J. A. McDermott, state oil inspector,
with A. NJ. Welles, editor of the Red
wood Falls Reveille. The paper is re-
publican and supported Dunn two years
ago. Last winter an offer was made
to buy the paper, but after some con-
sideration Welles refused it. Recently
an agreement was made by which the
democratic committee is to pay Welles
$3.50, covering 1000 subscriptions to
the paper for a three months period,
and the paper is to be sent to list
of 1000 voters supplied by the COM
mittee for the time between Aug. /
and the election, Nov. 8. The deal is
the equivalent Of 500 annual subscrip-
tions, converted into 1000 for quar-
ter of a year.
The Redwood Falls account says
there were several preliminary meet
ings, and that Welles went about e
month ago to local democratic COM
mitteeman to ask him what he had
heard from McDermott. Getting no sat

Redwood Falls, July 80, and at that
visit the deal was closed. They drove
to North Redwood in the evening and
there met some local democratic lead
ers, who ratified the agreement, after
G. W. Vaughn, the deputy oil inspector
for the district, had secured promise
Of the paper's support for the state and
local democratic machine.
The agreement ran afoul of the pos.
tai regulations the first thing. Cir
culars were issued to the 1000 voters
on the list, notifying them they would
receive the paper free for three months,
and the Aug. 3 issue was then mailed
The postmaster at Redwood Falls at
once notified the editor that under the
regulations paper could only be mailed
to free list three times in year on
second-class rates. After three issues
he must pay l cent postage for each
copy, unless the department. construes
the rule differently as to what consti
tutes free. copies. g.-

corroborative details. One editor il

HOXle, KAN, E'6D. 5. 1906.
Dear Mrs. Brown: We presumed
you would like to hear from US as a
club and of some of the things we are
doing, so shall send you a brief report
of our recent successful enterprise. On
January 8, 10 and 90, the Fortnightly
club of Hoxie gave a public exhibition
of the Kansas Travelling Art gallery.
The object of the exhibit was two-fold.
to create a fund for the esta blishment
of public library, and to give the club
members and the public a chance to
see the works of the great masters of
painting. Five prizes were offered, two
to the HoXie schools for selling tickets
to the exhibit, and three to the country
schools for greatest representation at
the exhibit, and work in map drawing
and penmanship. The city shoots sold
over two hundred tickets, leaving the
net receipts $34.34. Refreshments
were also served which brought the to-
tai receipts up to one hundred and
eleven dollars. The exhibit was a sue
cess in every way. Crowds were pres
ent each day, and considerable interest
in art was awakened. One of the most
pleasant surprises was the number of
pupils from the district schools and
their friends who were represented on
Saturday afternoon, as well as the
pleasure which they seemed to derive
frCms the exhibit. We We're we'll
pleased with the pictures and I am
sure every member of the club received
a great deal of good from them and
were inspired to better work.
Respectfully,
MRS. R. G. MUELLER, Sec.
