Who Can Explain.

The recent "upheayal' in the Levee Board in regard to the bond issue, has set the taxpayers to thinking and watching, and little things have be- gun to creep to the surface which need Investigating. Since the stop page Of the sale on commission Of the bonds, but little is heard of them and people are beginning to inquire of their whereabouts, and why they have not been sold.
 At the last session Of the Legisla- ture the st. Francis Levee Board ask ed for bond issue of Sl ,000, 600 and an increase of taxation from cents to l3 cents per acre. The Leyee Board worked hard for it, and none worked harder than their representative from Lee county. The bill however failed and compromise was effected where by S325. LOO bond issue and II cents tax was granted, the understanding being that the II cent tax was placed on all the land within the Levee Dis tTict.
 Now It comes to light that Lee county still continues t0 pay only x cents levee tax, while St Francis coun- ty pays l l cents How is il in other countless Do others of them come in2
 There is evidently something wrong somewhere: and il Governor DOna- ghey would spend a bit oi his capitol fraud enthusiasm n the direction oi our Levee Board, he evidently would find some walls and partitions to tear down, and rebuild a Board" of better material.
 Let Us know the reason of the differ ence in leyee taxes in Lee and St. Francis counties.
