!. The. lllsh Tax BURDEN

Iu9 County, ahSeSSOri Ills year IN
creased the valuation of the taxable
property of our county from $780,
100000 to $34,O00.OO0,, or more
than so per cent. This increase
meant an additional burden Of S240.
900 year placed upon the should
ers of tax payers without reason and
without EXCUSE. 4 $4,000 a year is
more than can be earned by all of
the boys of the county who work
upon farms for $40 a month, and
enough to buy every voter .in the
county SUIT OF winter clothing,
and every Smother a good dress.
Everybody, WITH scarcely an excep-
ton. thought that this burden ought
not to be imposed upon us. The
tax payers Of our county are willing
to pay their share of taxes necessary
to meet the expenses of state gov
eminent. They are not willing to
pay more. The assessment of Jas
per county Is higher and has been
for years, than the assessment of
any surrounding county. The farm
er. living on the. south, must pay on
a higher assessment than his neigh
Dor across the line In Newton. So
the farmer on the east side of the
county pays on aehigheY assessment
than his neighbor In Lawrence coun-
ty,: anp this is true Of the, farmers
living on, the Barton county line.
A farmer of Mcdonald township on
the east, Informed me that he had
compared his tax receipt with that
of his neighbor on the other side
Of the road In Lawrence county, and
that his. assessment was more than
40 per cent higher than that of his
neighbor. do not blame the coun-
ty assessor for this enormous in
crease. / believe he claims as his
excuse that he was requested by
oficers above him to make 1t. The
only criticism I have La that he
listened rather to the men who
wanted more taxes than to the men
who elected him u once: ID The tag
gathersr rather than to the tax pay

county assessor, not to do this. not
to Impose this additional burden M

Position. on Llaaor 0uestion
While ON this subject Of the brew
cry / will state my position on the
question Of Legislation governing
the sale OF intoxicating liquors. 1t
is well known in this community
that do not believe that statewide
prohibition is the better way to con-
troll or regulate the dram shop or
to reduce the evils of intemperance.
l can probably best state my posi-
ton .Sby relating ia circumstance
which occurred since the campaign
opened. Three men called ON me a
few weeks since. They said that
they, felt that the prohibition amend
|ment was the important question be-
fore the people. They understood
that was not in favor of 1t. and
came to tell me that II ! wepld say
that would vote for the aamend-
ment I would secure great many
votes which / would now lose which
probably would result in my cleo
ton, whereas II I did not agree to
do this i would probably be defeat
ed. OF these three. two were old
friends of mine and had voted for
me when was candidate for the
Legislature almost forty years ago.
i said to them that my position up
ON that question was well under-
stood, that / believed the better way
to handle the liquor question was
through the local option law by
which every city and county In the
state can vote. upon the question and
under which ninety counties of the
state were dry; that IL should say
that was In favor Of 1t they would

with Hypocrisy or untruthfulness,
and I would as soon be charged

did not believe that state wide pro-
:hibition would accomplish as good
results because OF there being 30
many large cities and communities
In the state where officers could not
be elected who would enforce 1t,
that it was better TO PROCEED under
the local option law and educate the

Initiative and Referendum

We now have initiative and refer
endum under which the people can
pass law which the Legislature re-
fuses to pass. If the Legislature
passes a law that the people do not
want, they can repeal it at the polls,
then with the initiative and the ref
erendum and the recall, it seems to
me that all power is in the hands of
the people. where it can safely rest.

PIG SWALLOWED

little porker is guiltyof the theft, so
he has decided it would not be prof

teeth
Morgan came to town today to have
another set made. although the teeth
he lost were less than a month old
and just beginning to feel comfort
able.
Mr.. Morgan was eating delicious
chicken dinner at his home on the
farm Sunday. He got a small bone
fastened in his new store teeth. Re
tiring from the table he went to the
back door. where he gave the bone
jerk that hurled his teeth through
the air.
In the yard were a dozen or more
little porkers being fattened for sau-
sage. and when they saw something
shining fall they were all after 1t II
an instant, and that was the last Mr.
