An Erroneous Impression.

After quoting some of the planks
which the COURIER asked the Leg
islature candidates to make their
position clear upon, the Winches-
ter Star says the COURIER would
perform a great public service if it
would indicate some practical
method by which expenditures can
be largely increased and at the
same time taxation diminished. :"
You have rather misconstrued
our remarks.
We asked the Legislative can
didateS to state their position on a
number of planks, some of which
come in direct conflict with others.
notably our separate queries as TO
whether or not the candidates
favored an election on statewide
prohibition or = law by the Legisla-
ture putting statewide prohibition
in force without an election.
You night Just as well have said
we favored both of these planks.
We do favor reduction of the
State tax, but we want that reduc-
ton to 80 into the Road Fund of
each County in the State.
