Taft intimates that he does not ravor the tarn
hill as framed up by the Senate. When the bill left
the house. it was about Taft declared he favored
such a BILL when out campaigning. But Adrich and
his co-workers have changed that bill to such an
extent that there very few instances where the
tariff has been revised downward Taft has cited
Aldrch to the Republican platform, and unless the
bill is changed in many particulars it is believed
that Taft will veto it when It comes before him.
Many believe that Taft has made grave error by
waiting so long before putting his finger in the pie.
but the president it is said did not want to inter-
cede and in that way rob Of the leaders of what
glory belonged to them He believed that ultimate
ly the senators would get the bill adjusted, to his
liking but now it looks tho they are disregard
ing the platform and Taft's pledges for downward
revision before election to such extent that about
all the president do, when the bill Is presented
to- him, is to veto It. ~ sa7,;,-. +. .. .s

The Stanley Sun says some very unklnd tnlhss
about the Independent, L. A. Larson, county auotor

Davis supposed -to-be expert, coming to Minot to

matter of fact, when the tene is right Tor sete-
ment and an expert can furnish bonds, the records
will no doubt be thrown open Auditor Larson ana
the commissioners are not trying to do anything
crooked but we claim that they have right to
demand suficient bond from any man who goes
thru the county's records The tax payers of Ward
county are trusting Mr.. Larson and the commission
ers to transact the affairs Of the county in perfect
" safe manner, and while Mr.. Davis, the expert,
may be all right and his intentions the very BEST

To Stop cIrcuI alton Lies.

When the FEEDER bill, making it a
crime for a newspaper man to lie
about the size of the circulation of his
paper, was under consideration in the
house, Representative Westcott offered
this amendment:
THAT no member of the legislature,
or candidate for the legislature, shall
have his name or any eulogy of him
self printed in a country paper at any
time, without paying full legal adver-
Using rates therefor"
Mr.. Wescott thought that if country
newspapers were to be swatted in the
neck by representatives whom they
helped to elect, the representatives
should be prohibited from sponging
space in country papers. But enough
other members of the legislature
didn't take that same vieW of it, and
voted down the amendment.
The bill, as finally amended, pro-
vides that if a newspaper does publish
it's circulation figures, it must not lie
about them. But the paper has the
option, either to publish figures or not
to, as it sees fit. If an editor hes
about his circulation and gets caught
at it, he is subject to a fine of 500
and imprisonment.

Must Walk TO Polls.

No more free rides to the polls on
election day-that is, if the bill intro
duced in the senate by Senator T. A.
Milton OF Wyandotte becomes law.
Offering a man a ride to the voting
place would be deemed as great crime
as offering a person a cigar or drink
of whisky at either the primaries CT
on election day.
1t would make illegal for any per
son or organization to hire, lend or
pay or promise to pay any money or
give anything of value to a man to
get him to register To furnish or
supply any vehicle to take any voter
to register or to the polling place
would also be deemed a misdemeanor.
The maximum penalty is a fine of $500
and year in Jail.
The bill goes even further and when
"a candidate is nominated or elected,
and it is later proven that his sup
porters were hauled to the voting
place in hired rigs, his election and
nomination shall be declared null and
void
