WANTS BROWN TO ANSWER
Some Pertinent Questions PROFOUND
ed to Representative Brown

Editor The Journal: | note that our
representative, Brother j. L. Brown,
has such ravenous disposition to be
held up in the limelight as a servant
of the people, that he not only writes
articles in answer to Taxpayer" and
has them published in the county pa
pers, but also he has taken the liberty
TO answer private correspondence
through the press, and inasmuch as |
have desire to satisfy that ambition
which he has, | want to PROFOUND
through the press pertaining DO his
record as an official.
Now, Brother Brown, when the
question OF raising the salaries of the
county officials came up, you wanted
post card from every taxpayer OF the
county, stating whether he was "for it's
or against it, and giving the amount
OF taxes which he pays, did you not?
When the question of extending the
session of the Legislature came up, did
you make any such request OF your
people to see whether they were ''for
it, or against it?' Did you not
vote yourself 1872 90 extra pay of the
taxpayers money, by voting to extend
ttp session for 81 days? Did you not
refuse to vote for resolution which
would have extended the session for
shorter time? Was not the vote so
close on the sixty-two days extension
resolution that your vote and the vote
OF 2 single other member of the legis-
1atnre would have killed it?
Can you take 1872. 90 of the taxpay-
ers' money for yourself without first
asking them to let you know their
wishes, by sending you a post card
indicating whether or not they are
-ts.tfnr it, or 9t,tsagainst it?n Now why
is it that you adopt rule thut must
apply to ell others except YOURSELF
Seems to me that the rule ought to
work on all alike, and now, deep down
in your heart, do you not think so?
Are you not willing to serve that 81
days without accepting this large
amount of the taxpayers money, just
to show your peopl that your heart
is in the right place, and that it was
not the extra coin of the realm that
you are getting that prompts you to
remain there all this time in the SER
vice { p of the people?
| note that you say In an article
answering Taxpayer" that you are
not in favor of making the pathway of
the toiling thousands thorny, to make
that of dirty Dozen smooth. Do
you not think that you should have
put that in this way: II am not in
favor making the pathway of the toll
ing thousands thorny, to make that of
any other man smooth, unless | am
the man whose pathway Is to be made
smooth
Nov, Brother Brown, do not dodge
the issue, and indulge in the unchaste
language that you have been in the
habit OF using, but come right out and
answer, as | a. anxious to harmonic
you On your ideas OF legislation be-
fore passing an unkind Judgment on
your record as a representative.
