Newspaper publishers of Taylor county
won a case In the supreme court today in
the matter OF publishing the complete

the official proceedings OF the Board of
Supervisors Instead of merely the totals for
the county as Is often done to save money.
The court holds to the view that publicity
is the main thing and the only way TO have
publicity in this matter is to have The en-
tire vote printed. AS to the charges for
the same, the court holds that the code
fixes them and they cannot be changed by
the courts or board.

The supreme court held in a case from

brought suit 20 compel the trustees to pay

A larger volume of mail is transferred

There seems to be considerable in

Judiciary, and since many of the party

in his campaigns in the interest of
these amendments, it looks as though
a good vote will be polled. There is
some opposition to these amendments,

this will bring out larger vote than
