Here is the right idea as to land
taxation in Missouri, without any
joke, as put forth by the Horse
Editor of the Paris. Monroe Co.,
Appeal: Talking about taxation
the Horse Editor demands i
graduated tax on lands. Missouri
Legislators will please take NOTICE.
We want the man who owns only
eighty acres of land touched ver.'
lightly. The owner of 100 acres
should pay a little more, while the
rate on 800 acres should be quite
reasonable. From 800 acres on uJ'
the line, however. the taxes should
be piled on until it would no long
or be either pleasant or profitable
TO own immense tracts in one com
munity. These big holdings are
detrimental TO school interests
and allow only one family to pros
per where a dozen or more should
flourish Graduated land taxes
would tend towards smaller
farms, would tend towards more
intensive farming methods. AMI
both of these results would tend
towards more families, more tax
able wealth and better schools in
neighborhoOd. The Horse EdI-
tor, who owns 100 acres in Nor.
roe county and 2S0 acres in Texas,
would be among those who would
suffer from this reform because
he has resolved to increase his
holdings to 10000 acres just as
soon as he acrumulateS a million
dollars. but he is willing to sacri-
flee his own interests for the sake
of the general welfare. The propo-
Sition is Socialistic, OF course. but
it has merit just the same.

AUDRAIN CANDIDATES.
Making Hay While the Political
Sun Shines A Fine Lot of
Men.

The Centralia Courier, publish
ed over in Boone county, puts up
the following we'll written article
regarding the candidates for office
in Audrain county:
Taken as a whole, we have new
er known a finer lot of candidates
to 90 down the canyassing line in
Audrain county than are in the
hunt for office this year. Whoever
wins the Democratic party will
present a strong ticket to the peo-
pie, one that will command the
full party support in November.
Looking over the list of announce
ments in the Courier, we find so
many good men IN the race that
we would be puzzled how to scratch
the ticket were we living over the
line. It's one of the happy kind
of line-ups where the voter can't
go wrong.
For state senator DR.. j. W..
Crewdson has announced with us,
thus showing that he appreciates
the support of west end Democrats
enough to ask for it through the
columns of their favorite paper.
DR.. Crewdson is from the land of
Pike. His home folks vOuch for
him. They tell us that he is a
good democrat, able man and eX-
cellent citizen. We are sure that
the voter will be right if be leaves
DR.. Crewdson's name unscratched
on the ballot.
For representative two capable
Democrats have announced in the
Courier, l.. P. Crigler aud E. G.
Waters. Mr.. Crigler is a Mexico
lawyer and a good one. A ready
speaker, clear thinker and aggress-
i've fighter, he would make his i'm
fiuence felt upon the floor of the
house. Then Leb. is a good fell
low and will appreciate every vote
he gets. Hon. E. G. Waters is
asking for the endorsement of a
second term. He represented Au.
drain in the last assembly and did
it so we'll that we have heard but
little complaint. Mr.. Waters is
an able, resourceful Democrat who
has the confidence OF the people.
Audrain's interest is going to be
we'll looked after next winter,
whichever of these two men the
people select.
Did you ever see prettier three
hands-round race than the trio of
candidates for recorder are putting
up in Audrainl They are all
good fellows and it would go hard
Mexico Missouri message., 1910-07-14

with us to mark off either of them.
There's A. H. Whitney than whom
no better recorder ever filed the
Office in Missouri-he's asking for
the custom airy endorsement Of a
second term. Whitney is also so
loyal a Democrat as you will meet
in days drive. Then there's J.
w. Stephens = Joe Billy" his
friends call him. He's a mighty
good fellow and capable citizen.
1t goes without saying that he
would make a splendid recorder.
Joe Billy made a corking good
race four years ago and his friends
are confident that he will come in
ahead this time. But r. II.
Brown is also to be reckoned with
in this race. He is a big, strong
man, deservedly popular with all
who know him. Bob Brown
would make a most efficient re-
corder and his loyal supporters are
trying hard to get him under the
wire first. At this time it looks
like it was anybody's race-they
are running neck and neck-may
the best man win.
For county clerk Price Cunning
ham and John Graham are run
ming as pretty a race as ever came
down the pike. Price has a cOu-
pie of good races to his credit. He
is deservedly popular, has lots of
friends, is well qualified and is
running like a winner. Up in the
west end where we know Price
best and appreciate him most the
boys are whoOping it up for him
mighty strong. In John Graham
be has a worthy contestant. He
is also a good Democrat and splen-
did citizen and then John knows
everybody and that helps a whole
lot. He is also thoroughly com
petent to make a good county
clerk and his supporters are leav-
ing no stone unturned in his be-
half. We don't know who will
win, but we do know that Audrain
will continue to have an excellent
county clerk after January l, 1911.
Four thoroughbreds qualified
for the race Of collector, but rheu-
MATES left Charley Tanner at the
pOst-a mighty likely candidate he
was, too, looking every inch win
ner The other three got away to
the stretch neck and neck. S. A.
Pulls is a mighty good man and
deserving citizen. He lives in the
west end, a portion of the county
that deserves we'll of the Democ-
racy of Audrain. Alec has assess
ed the county, is pretty we'll known
and is strictly in the race. He is
we'll qualified for the job. 7, H.

drains best men and most loyal
Democrats, He, too, is qualified

The Centralia Courier in its
write-up of the Audrain county
candidates overlooks one man an
nounced in the Message. And we
believe he is our choice for the
office. too. 1t is Hon w. j. Buch-

the State Senate. DR.. Crewdson is
a strong opponent, but Mr.. Buch-
AMMAN is more nearly our ideal of

most Trustworthy information. we
can get he is a man who stands

friends are legion and they are
boosting him every day all the
way. Audrain never had a better

too. He is asking for another
term on his record and there are
lots of voters who think his record
entities him to it.
Two better loved boys never run
a foot race or any other kind of a
race for that matter, than Eppa F.
Elliott and G. 7. Peyton. It's a
toss up for choice between them.
Everybody is the friend of each
and all regret that one of them
must go down in defeat. We don't
know how to talk of them sep
arately-bOth are clean, manly
young men, well qualified and
equally worthy. Eppa Elliott lives
in the west end of Audrain and is
popular all over the county. Char
ley PeytOn lives in the east end
and is also popular throughout the
county. Which should be given
the of1ice3-let's draw straws.
For presiding judge Alec Carter
and d. l.. Rogers are contestants.
Unfortunately for the Courier
man, he is not personally acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Rogers and only has
a speaking acquaintance with
Judge Carter. But each are said
to be excellent men and both have
loyal lot of friends. Judge Car.

dorsed by the people. They know
his record and say that it is a Al.
Those who can't see it that wav

pie view the matter.
We have saved a mighty fine
man to wind up this article with.
In all Audrain there is not a Dem
ocrat we would take off our coat
and make a harder fight for than
we would for judge Cook Groves.
A long time ago-we would be-
afraid to say how long for fear of
embarrassing the judge - Cook
warmed bench in the room where
we taught our first school. He
treated us so nicely that we have
had a warm place in our heart for
him ever since. Then Cook is a
scrapping Democrat, the kind that
we admire. And he has made a
most capable judge, too, and is
being complimented with a second
term without opposition. This is
as it should be.
All in all it's a fine lot of hust-
ling Democrats that are asking the
support of the people in Audrain.
We don't mean to say that there
are any saints in the bunch with
white wings tapping, but we do
mean to say that they are good
men and true Democrats, fair and
square in their lives, and capable
and honest withal.

Enough single ballots were cast by

though she has lead of seventy
thousand votes. These friends know
that the position at first place can
not be held unless they keep up their
support, and knowing so, they save
and deposit the little votes as as
siduously as at the beginning of the
contest.
Children were much in evidence

gains to the fact that their little
