DEMOCRAT. Did II.

The farmers of Harrison county
are not worrying about their assess
ments. They have very good rea-
son for not worrying. 1t is that the
taxes of most of them have been
very largely reduced under the new
tax system.
Any attempt to prejudice them
against the new system because OF
alleged lower assessments in some
other counties will fail. Besides
most all the farmers of Harrison
county are acquainted with the fact
that there would not now be any
State tax at all for them to pay, II
| 1t had not been for the action of the
Democratic membership of the State
senate two years ago. with the aid
of sdme insurgent Republicans in
preventing the taking OFF Of the
State tax. The Democratic party Is
responsible today for til eexistence
people believe otherwise. Also It is
of state tax and can not make the
definitely known that the Democratic
membership has been instructed by
the Democratic state committee not
to support any movement to improve
tn present laws. That means that
they are to oppose any and all ef-
forts to take off the remainder of
the state tax. With this the case 1t
is ridiculous for Democratic papets
to appeal to farmers to vote against
the Republican party on the grounds
that the assessment of land is some
higher in one comfy than another.
For, If the Democrats had but aided
the Republicans in taking off 55he
state tax altogether, IT would have
| made no difference how much higher
assessments were in one county than
