The prosecuting attorney OF Wood
county has made a requisition for
$4,000 on State Tax Commissioner
Townsend as his percentage OF the,
100000 forfeiture OF the Camden es-
tate. but Mr.. Townsend has refused to
honor the re1uisltion. Under the law
the prosecuting attorney Is allowed
ten per cent OF such forfeitures where
he pushes the suit and collects the
forfeiture. Tax Commissioner Town
send says that the prosecuting attor-
ney took no part in the suit against
the Camden estate. but that the suit
was prosecuted by" the Tax Commits
sloner's department Several similar
CAGES appear on the records where the
prosecuting attorneys failed to get
their fcs for failure TO prosecute. II

Within the next few / weeks Fair
mont citizens will be face to face with
the proposition of choosing a man for
the Office OF mayor. Now Is n COOL
time to consider what sort OF man is

very much depends upon the mayor as

1t either way, We believe the people
want good man for mayor, one who
will stand for law and order. one who
can be counted ON the side OF right.
