GIVE UP THE FIGHT.
"Allies'' Decide Not to Make Minority
Report on Credentials.

Convention Hall, Chicago. June IT,
The minority in the credentials COM
mittee is showing signs of weakening,
some doubling the wisdom ofan oppos-
ing report. Thus far only Bookwalter.
Smith and one other have signed the
minority statement.
Mayor Bookwalter, who led the mi
nority forces again for the report on
credentials, said as to the reasons for
abandoning the fight:
I'VE did not desire to be merely cap
tious; only three members of the COM
mittee were willing to sign minority
report and fight it out. Knowing that
we can get at the same questions in

siders the Burke resolution to reduce

We decided to let the matter go for the
present"

OPPOSED TO THE BRIDGE
If BatesviIle Wants Bridge Across
White River Let Her Build it

Mr.. Editor:l-I recently noticed am
article in the Batesville Guard written
by Citizen of Fairview township,
in which he loudly advocated the con-
struction of free bridge across White
river at Batesville by our county.
Such bridge would benefit por-
ton of four townships south of the
river and the city of Batesville, yet
the writer would have Independence
county built it by taxation. Our taxes
are now already entirely too high,
and we cannot afford to take on an
additional burden like this.
A good bridge across White river
at Batesville would cost no less than
$3.50, 900. What do you taxpayers
think of that? Our county would have
to issue bonds or other interest-bear-
ing evidence of indebtedness, to build
such bridge, and,. therefore, the
bridge would cost, before paid for in
full, $175, 900, or more. That would
put our taxes out of sight. They are
high now, but that would make them
soar quite a little bit higher.
IF Batesville wants a free bridge
for the benefit of her trade from Gle
burne county and the four townships
mentioned, say let Batesville build
the bridge, and not try to hold up the
tax payers of the county for the special
benefit of the city of Batesville.
Before the writer casts his ballot for
any one of the candidates for county
Judge in the coming primary, will
have to know how he stands on this
proposition as. this is matter that
would have to be dealt with by the
levying court, which is composed of
the county judge and the justices of
the peace of the various townships of
the county. 81
This rs naoecr sssssal<l-as@44444<szs
the people of the entire county, finan-
cially, and / believe they should call
on the candidates for county Judge
and justices of the peace to state their
position on this bridge propositions

You can give the widows mite,
And the least you can do for Jesus,
Will be precious in his sight.
If you cannot speak like angels;
If you cannot preach like Paul;
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say he died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the judgments dread alarm,
You can lead the little children
To the sayiour's waiting arms,
