Examiner will endeavor to keep even with the pro-

people of this county. Occasionally it is proper to
take whack at the evil things done by the repub-

The local option election for the county unit will
occur next Tuesday. The question to be decided is
whether or not the sale of liquors shall be licensed
1t is license or no-icense- no chance to vote
on the sale or non-sale
The question of additional taxes will undoubtedly
be the deciding point, for any section which does
not want saloons need not have them regardless of
which way this local option election is decided. If
license carries, those sections which want saloons
will help to pay the taxes of sections which do not
have them. Those who really believe in the prin-
cpe of local option will have to vote against this
measure for the county unit is not local option at
ALL but an opportunity for voters in one part of
the county to say which shall govern in other segss
tions of the county
If no-license carries, additional tax levy will
be made next year to make up the deficit caused
by the absence of saloon licenses which is est-
mated by the commissioners at little over two
mills on each dollar in the county.
The county and state tax was increased this year.
Another increase next year might possibly start
some OF the voters to questioning the methods of
the republican county and state administrations.
The local option is product of the liquor admins
tration of this state. The popularity of the work
and actions of the last legislature will be made
known by the voters of the county unit next Tues
day.
