rAxPAYERs TAKE NOTICE.

TO tho Taxpayers Of Grady County
The board Of county commissioners
Of Grady county viii meet at the court
house in Chickasha on Monday. July 3,
1871 and VIII have under considera-
tion the advisability OF calling a spe-
ciai county election. in which shall
be voted upon the proposition Of is
suing an additional $4,000 OF twenty
five year 5 per cent bonds. for bridge.
building purposes.
At present various parts Of the
county are badly in need of bridges
and there are no funds available in
the county treasury capable Of being
devoted to that purpose. It is wholly
impracticable to obtain money with
which TO build bridges. by the levy Of a
tax directly for that purpose; but the
law provides way whereby the coun-
ty's bonds may be issued and sold.
and fund in that way created, out
OF which bridges may be built. At
the present time Grady county has
an outstanding bonded Indebtedness
OF 100000. the proceeds Of which have
been used for erecting county bridges
It is believed that all of the interest
(and perhaps portion OF the sinking
fund.- for the proposed new $4,000
issue, can be taken care of out OF
existing revenues. without the neces-
sity Of leyying any special or addition
al tax for that purpose. While the
bridges are badly needed, the com
missioners do not wish 70 incur the
expense Of special election for vot-
ing ON the proposed bond issue, unless
there is a reasonable probability of an
affirmative result of such election,
should one be called ana held The
purpose, therefore. Of this open letter
is to call upon the taxpayers Of Gra-
dy county to express to their county

Smuggling in Italy.


Smuggling goods into Italy by aero
plane, which has led TO a serious acct
dent near Mont Cents, win probably
be extensively practiced in the future.
despite the attendant risks. The Ital-
ian laws against smuggling are most
severe. A peasant caught with only
pound OF contraband tobacco is pret-
ty sure to incur two years imprison-
ment, besides paying heavy fine.
The customs officials. too. are author
lied to shoot persons crossing the
frontier who refuse to halt when chal-
lolsed, and several lives are thus sac
rttcsd every year. Still. the profits Of
smuggling are so great that many
brave these perils. A knapsaek filled
with tobacco or salt. safely landed,
yields small fortune to the smuggler,
so heavy are the taxes upon these.

The democrats in the legislature
who voted for Senator Clapp have no
reason to apologize. It was far better
to vote for man who cast prOgres-
slve votes in accord with real demo-
cratic sentiment, than to vote for
man who represents practices
that are not democratic, and
represents nothing but boss rule and
evil tendencies IN politics. We are
very sorry to see Senator johnson vote
for K. T. O'Connor for U. s. senator
rather than for Congressman Hammond.
Mr.. Hammond is man of the highest
character, great ability, and while
perhaps he is more conservative In his
views than The Herald. none the less
he IS of senatorial size. and would be
q senator of whom Minnesota would be
proud. We know that the democrats
of Morrison county would never think,
under any circumstances, of voting for
O'Connor, because they do not believe
in his methods or ia what he re-
presents. The Herald, as the only
newspaper in this district which
supported Senator johnson, and which
wishes him well personally and
politically. and believes MIN honest
and sincere, feels it its duty to say
these things. The vote for O Conner
was. possibly an act of friendships
It was not an expression OF the wishes
of the people Of this district. II y

THE 10 PER CENT LIQUOR Ii
'CENSE TAX. -.

Fairfax Standard: Some months ago
the village OF Gibbon resisted the pay
ment of 10 per cent of their liquor
license money into the Sihley county
treasury. the village attorney A. L..
Young, insisting that the law was un-
constitutional. An action was brought
to recover the amount, and last week
Judge Morrison handed down a deci-
sion favorlng the village. This case
effects every village in the state of
Minnesota where there are saloons, and
it the decision OF Judge MORRISON holds
good in the supreme court the NUM-
cipalities of the state will save annually
large amount of money. The case
IS naturally attracting state wide in
terest The Gibbon Gazette last week
has the following to say of the suit !:
Attorney A. l.. Young has been adj
vised that Judge Morrison has sus.
tanned his demurrer in behalf of the
village IN the action against it by the
County for recovering OF ten per cent
of the liquor license money paid into
the village treasury during the current
year. This means that If the Supreme
Court on appeal should hold with
Judge Morrison the ten per cent is
under the control of the NUM-
cipal council and need not be paid into
the county treasury if the Council
deems it advisable to use the money
on the repair of its streets and high
ways. as has been done by the local
council. ..l; II >,5... g55. III = &.

The Mimi eapolis papers made great
f1ullabaloo over the state fair manage
ment. A laudable desire for. reform
was manifested. and yet such strong
attempt to defeat the old management,
such en- explosion of wrath, must have
been based on something that Mime
apolls or certain interests there, want.
And If the Legislature doesn't change
the system, those interests will have
what they want, what ever it is. The
legislature will be justified in chang
ing the complete scheme of the state
fair organization. No one denies that
there has been politics and favoritlsm.
and there is no particular reason not to
expect the same thing in the future if
the present system continues, for it is
a system that gives room for such
conditions. Under the gulse OF re-
form one set of clever fellows appear
to have Ousted another set who
weren't quite clever enough this
time.

St. Peter Free Press Iowa has rail.

sible to discriminate IN favor of big
cities as it is in Minnesota Here
county merchants in towns like Owa.

well written annual reports, in which

1t looks as if there was much sup
port in the legislature for the Initia-
tive and Referendum. The friends of
this great proposed reform need to be
,y,gilant. 1t IS entirely possible to
draft proposition on its face tair but
which will in effect defeat what the
people wish. The people of Illinois by
45Q, 200 majority declared in favor of
tho people having the right to Initiate
Legislation on an s per cent petition
and to vote Legislation on per cent
petition. Although the people OF Illinois
thus instructed the legislature, the
enemies Of the plan are trying by var
ious methods to deprive it of value,
and after having told their Legislators
what they want, the people of Illinois
must needs watch and urge them to
what they were commanded to Go.
The price Of reform, as Of liberty, is
eternal vigilance.

Springtield Republican John s

Springfield Republican John Sharp
Williams, senator elect from Mississip-
pi, and formerly minority leader in the
House OF Representatives. expresses
views concerlng the speakership that
ought to encourage the democrats 10
60 ahead bravely with their reform
measures. Mr.. Williams differs from
Mr.. Watterson. He would make the
American speaker a purely impartial
presiding officer like the speaker of
the House of Commons The com
mittee on rules should make the com
mlttee appointments. says Mr.
Williams. The party leader of the
majority, not being made speaker,
would consequently have to be the
chairman of the committee on rules,
and Mr.. Villains would also have MIN
at the head of the. ways and means
committee. where he would be in O
position to make his leadership of the
House effective. For while the
speake1ship, in Mr.. Williams opinion,
should be shorn of its power much more
tnan it is to-day, he would take every
precautlon to have the majority party
in effective control of the Houses
business. The Mississippi senator has
outlined an adaptation of the British
system for American parliamentarians
yet experience may soon show that
there Is no middle ground between the
British system and Mr.. 'Cannon's.

which the progressive senator from

which seeks to destroy discrimination
in railroad rates, ought to have the
support of every man from the country
district. Little Falls has suffered as
much as any town through discrlmina

cities and villages have had and are
having the same experience. They
should demand of those who represent
them that they shall represent them in
truth, not represent the railroad, the
favored big shippers, and the CONNER
cial interests of the great cities.
