Thinking people throughout the
United States are endeavoring to
figure out why the members of the
present congress at Washington were
so generous as to raise their own
salaries so per cent and then favor
only 6 per cent raise for the city
letter carriers of the U. S., who are
proven by far the most in need of a
substantial increase.
If 80 per cent is alright for the con-
gressmen, las is universally conceeded),
20 per cent for the letter carriers
certainly ought to be allowed when it
has been proven repeatedly that they
actually need that amount of increase

WHY MAKE NEW COUNTY?

After interviewing a large number
of the business men and citizens OF
Grand Rapids, we find no sentiment
in favor of changing the County lines
of Wood County. There is some feel
ing, for the purpose of getting rid OF
the unpleasant relations on the
County Board where the Marshfield
contingent always opposes any thing
wanted at the county seat, that the
people here would consent to the TAX
ing off Of the towns of Lincoln and
Marshfield, if in exchange therefor
Portage county would consent to part
with the two townships on the east
side of Milladore and Sherry. Unless
this, or something equally favorable,
can be presented to the people of
Wood County, we do not believe, in
fact we know, they would oppose the
changing of the county lines of Wood
County in any particular.
What good reasons have the Marsh
field people for changing the county
lines of Wood County? We doubt
very much whether the resident
farmers of the northern towns, are in
favor of this new county scheme.
The matter of taxation is an import
ant one with all free holders. The
simple fact that Marshfield would
like TO be the county seat of county
is no good reason for the creation of a
new county. the citizens of Grand
Rapids contributed $50, 900 toward the
building of the Port Edwards railway,
so that Marshfield would have free
access to the county seat, and ever
since the building of that road the
people of the north end of the county
have been able to visit the county
seat twice day for the transaction
of business. They certainly have
none but political and selfish business
interests to conserve by the creation
of a new county, and we don't believe
that the people of the north end OF
Wood County are DESTROYS of paying
extra taxes for the erection of new
county buildings in Marshfield, tc
crafty their ambition to be the
county seat of new county.
Without an interview with the
State Senator and Member of the
Assembly of this county, we are posi-
tive that they will not favor or con.
sent to have the state legislature
change the county lines of Wood
County, without full and free ex.
preston of the people of said county
on this subject.
