stockman for what the party states he
possesses-and we all know that they
never over estimate their holdings to
the assessor-so that the rancher
pays more taxes in proportion to his
wealth than any other class Of the
tax payers. Therefore it is not sur
prising that the ranchers included in
this new county proposition are
against it, for they can reasonably
expect their taxes to be more than
doubled to meet the demands of this
new county. There will be a new
courthouse, Jail, Offices and other
buildings to be built, the salaries OF
a full set of county officers, costs Of
transferring records, their proportion
of indebtedness of the county from
which they were taken, and the re-
naming expenses of the county,
bridge buildings, roads to maintain,
etc.
ION the other hand you may be
little farther from the county seat,
but most of your county business is
done by mail and the postage is just
the same in either case, but when it
comes to digging up two of three
times as much money to pay your
taxes every year it means pSivation
and suffering for the necessities of
life.
The raising of the tax money is
much more of a problem with the
settlers than the security of bank de-
posits, for ninety-nine times out of a
hundred he has no money to deposit;
and to put a tax mortgage on his land
and other property, in order that a
few town boosters may profit in the
creation of county seat, and that a
few more politicians may get an Office
at good salary does not appeal very
favorably to the rancher."

two incidents of his crusade for tenn

At Clones, In Ulster, there were two
Orange flags raised when he visited
1t. Instead Of considering 1t as an in
suit, he thought 1t very great COM
pliment, never having seen one or
been honored with one before. When
he saw them he called for three cheers
for the Orange flag. Commenting on
this. an Irish writer says
"a Catholic priest calling for cor
dial salutation of the Orange banner
and Catholic assembly heartily re-
spending was something almost incon-
ceivable. 1t had never occurred before
in Ireland. I'm afraid 1t has never &C.
