Tuesday we suggested in these columns that
in selecting tax assessor we had very i'm
portant office to fill.
We suggested the name of DeLamar Turner
as one that would inspire confidence and in large
measure relieve the stress that has been engendered
among the taxpayers during several recent years.
At the time we had no idea how Mr.. Turner
would treat the matter.
Tuesday night the only political organization
in the city, the Civic Political League, nominated
Mr.. Turner in his absence and without his consent,
in the face of warm competition.
The endorsement was a high compliment to
the man and yesterday morning he stated to the
editor of this paper that he would not enter into
scramble for the office bnt if elected he would be
glad to serve the city.
1t is hardly probable that he will haveany OPP
position for the office, certainly there is no more
competent worthy

To
KEEP FIGHTING
ELECTION FEE

The ruling of Secretary of State
Nichols that minor parties not hav-
ing paid state candidates filing
fees are barred from place on the
official ballot, except for presi-
Dental electors, has aroused the
ire of the socialists and prohibit
tionists. They had rested their
case pending appeal to the SUI
preme court.
Whether or not It is, yet too late
to get these names upon the bal
lot in the event the feel paid is
a question to be determined
County Auditor Greene is inclined
to think not.
Judge William E. Richardson,
socialist, says:
This law is outrageous and we
are going to fight it, and fight it
hard. What action will be taken
will be decided at a meeting of the
socialists to be held next Sunday.
We do not yet kow whether the
state nominees will pay the fee
and go on the ballot or whether
they will also be voted on by the
sticker method, as proposed for
local candidates. 1t is expected
that the socialists throughout the
state will take uniform action in
the matter"
A letter is expected by each of
the local party organizations from
the secretary of state tomorrow
explanatory of the course adopted
by him. Auditor Greene has pre-
pared a circular letter to be sent
today to the county nominees OF
the minority parties, stating the
necessity of the filing fee If they
desire their names upon the official
ballot. The letter follows:
"The recent supreme court de-
cision makes it necessary that
| each candidate whose name ap-
pears upon the regular election
ballot November 3, 1908, shall pay
| the prescribed sum of $40. II you
desire your name to appear as can
didate on the regular ballot kindly
remit $40 to this Office to reach
here not later than October 81.
would suggest, however, that II
your name does not appear upon
the ballot you could be voted for
at the general election either by
writing in the name or the use OF
stickers and could be legally elect
ed by such votes. You will under
stand that this Office has no choice
as to he collection of the fee. The
supreme court makes 1t mandatory
for the county auditor to collect
such fee from every candidate
whose name is placed upon the
gular election ballot.

P|1TAM STRONG
FOR SQUARE
DEAL

William C. Pittam, democratic
candidate for county commission
er from the First district, has re-
sponded as promptly as circum-
stances would permit to The
Press call for expressions from
commissioner candidates as to
their stand on economical manage
ment of public affairs. Mr.. Pit
tam writes:
Your editorial of October IA has
the true ring when you say that
it is time new methods were adopt
ed in transacting the business OF
the county commissioners.
"All public business should be
attended to at the time fixed by
law, without secrecy. Every citi-
zen is entitled to know everything
that is done by the commission
ers.
eff l am elected l propose tc
give the people some relief from
the fearful extravaganza at the
courthouse, which has resulted in
increasing taxes with no apparent
benefit to the taxpayer.
Il believe that the entire board
of commissioners should do all the
business connected with their of
| fee, and should buy everything
from the lowest bidder, and not
delegate the purchasing of supplies
to one member and call him a
purchasing agent.
81 believe in a reduction OF
taxes, in economy and honesty Ii
expenditure of public money and
| the abolition of graft in all county
business.
Il also believe that all the pro
| ceedings of the board of county
commissioners should be publish
ed in the newspapers of the coun
ty, so that all the people woulo
know what they are doing.
eff elected l propose to insis
on the conduct of the business o.
the county commissioners Office
in the interest of the whole people
without secrecy of any kind"
