Reasonable Railroad Valuation
How the People Could Be Injured Financially By Raising
the Assessed Valuation Too Much-C A. johnson
Believes in Reasonable Valuations

The Democratic nominee for gov
ernor has a great deal to say about
the valuation of railroads and assess
ment Of same, and points with pride
to his unrecenciled attitude on tho
matter of higher assessment. That
higher assessment of the railroads
of the state would bring in more rev.
enue to the state treasury is true.
But there is another point that has
been overlooked or is not touched up
on by Mr.. Burke, and that is thar
freight rates are based upon the val
uation of the property. II the rail
roads were assessed at $1,000 per
mile, as Mr.. Burke intimates they
should be- and the freight rates fixed
on that valuation, the state treas
ury would be enriched a few thousand
dollars, but the farmers would have
many hundred thousand dollars t."

Halloween.

Reverence, superstition and frivd-
ity seem to de the history that char.
acterizes Halloween. The festival
day was first observed in the seventh
century when Pope Boniface institut-
ed the Feast of all Saints to com
memorate the conversion OF the Ro-
man Pantheon into a Christian
church. The Pantheon was dedicat>
ed to the Blessed Virgin and to all
the martyrs and the festival was Gel
citrate ON the first day Of May
however after the institution of "All
Souls Day. on November the second
"All Saints Day. was transferred to
Nov. the first and hence Hallow'~
en- or Holy evening, falls on October
the thil'ty-first.
The funny side cf superstitiOus life
is shown by the attitude of GU: grand,
parents toward this night. The Scotch
and English are the first people who
associated it with the love mating
and not "even few o. us" still have
"a half belief lingering with the doubt
when the chestnuts are roasting on

the support of Republican voters. II
1t should be the case that the major
ity OF the Republican voters should
not think SO, it would 'be useless for
me to 60 around the country trying
to convince them. I am not an Off
&c seeker and am willing to leave
this TO the voters. Them Mr.. Bond
and his sore-head followers will
doubtless go around and tell YOU
about my incopetency, that was the
argument at the primaries. The story
was circulated that I do not under
stand the English language. admit
that | can not speak as huently as
wish but as far as understanding
challange Bond or any Of his sore
head followers to discuss in the news
papers any topic that they may wish
to choose.
The regular nominees on the Re
publican ticket are expected to foot
! the bill OF the campaign. Is it fair
to expect a candidate TO pay out his
money to support the Republican
campaign as long as traitors OF his
own marty stab him in the back?
! am told that some of the prominent
Republican leaders in Mipot, repre-
sentatives of trust, favor the action
of Bond are going to support him. I
am not surprised to see trust COM
panies against me but If prominent
Repu blicans are to bolt IN Q
Republican ticket just because the
| prim aries did not turn out to suit
Thorn then there must be a Niger in
the fence somewhere and under such
circumstances, how can it be expect
ed of any candidate who has such
conditions to contend with, to contri-
butte to the campaign fund, If the
most prominent Republicans have
turned out to be a band of cut
threats, how can they expect any
thing OF the rank and file of the
voters? I do not believe that the
voters are chumps enough to approve
of such tactics. In return the rank
and file of the party may turn around
and scratch the Republican ticket
where those Republican cut threats
would not like it.
Bond says he is going to have a
fair campaign but according to all
moral codes of ethics, the very act of
him running independent after being
defeated at the primaries, is unfair
and consequently the only logical
conclusion that can be drawn from 1t
is that Bonds campaign can not be
anything but unfair from beginning to
end. II Bond can not see this then
he must be rather a poor reasoner or
if he sees it and ignores it he must
be regular buccaneer, devoid OF all
fairness, who believes in rule or ruin
only.
With these remarks I will leave
this campaign to the people. II
the Republican voters in November
approve OF the Benedict Arnold proc
Invites of Walter Bond and his sore
head followers, then I have nothing
to say, but as I have said before
believe that there is enough sense
Of Justice ard fairness in the ranks
of the Republican voters OF the party
to see the unfairness Of the indepen-
dent candidates in disregarding the
primary law and boiling the Repub-
lican ticket and the polls in Novsm-
Der will prove that am right ana
that the Republican, ticket will be
elected by large majority.
Yours for fairness and justice IN
