the needs of ,Des Moines and l shall
bring to the office of mayor both
business methods and action.
'The most essential part of our
city building is to increase our Eopu-
lation Diminishing taxes and lower
ing the cost of living are the chief
means to this end, the greatest IN
ducement to building and improve
ments is to remove taxes from i'm
provements on land. Tax land val
ues, ana not the improvements on the
land. This also simplifies the whole
subject of taxation. The tax on land
should approach uniform standard.
Some method of this kind which is
being adopted by western cities will
bring wonderful results in building
and improvement when applied to
Des Moines.
"A market house has been voted for
by the people. 1t should be erected
without delay. AS one of the means
of lowering the cost of living the
need of a market house is impera-
tive. Until a market house can be
built, the curb market should be pro-
tected with sheds which will meet
temporary demands. The market
should be absolutely free"

Search Light on the Candidates

On next Monday the colored
voters of our city will in common
with all other qualified electors
be called upon to vote for four
men called commissioners, with
one Mayor to run the affairs of our
city for two years, Every color
ed voter should consider the mer-
its of each man, consider the
interest he has in our city, consid.
er his christian tendencies, would
he seek to give us clean good
moral city. Then above all, let
US see what, if his past record has
been toward our race-will he
give them a square deal. Know
ing these facts you ought to de-
eide at once whether or not you
will support them. To those who
are not acquainted with all these
candidates, we want you to read
every word that we say, then
make your own selection. First,
we must be brief, SO read between
the lines. What we may say
about the various candidates are
facts that we can rely upon.
First, Mayor Hanna has made a
fairly good mayor, but not much
for the colored man, not single
colored appointment. DR.. Duhigg
the other candidates. unknown
to us; yet he is reported to be all
right for councilman, John Mac
Wears public record for the past
fifteen years is an open book to
us all. He has done more for our
city, made more improvements
aud is better posted in municipal
government than any man in our
city. He is a tried friend to our
people, has employed more
colored men than any other
councilman. Charles Schramm
is a good business man and has
handled all of our city money
and not even a hint of graft or
discrepancy. He is friendly to
our race, none now employed by
him. Wesley Ash is friendly to
our race. He has employed a
large number of them. Zell G.
Roe has seemingly made failure
as commissioner, his action ia
giving our race square deal is
questionable. He has employed
some, yet prejudiced.

THE FAIRS DEFENSE.

The Arkansas State Fair Associa. ton, thTouhg it's directors, this morn ing makes a dignified but positive an. swer to the attack made on 1t during the week by Governor Donaghey.
 This institution is too big to per init itself to be made political foot ball It has too great a part in the development of the state to be en- abled to carry on it's work if it is go ing to temporize when grossly in suited.
 It is well that the directors hold up their heads They have nothing to fear. They conducted clean State Fair and they are proud of H. The institution has fTiends-far too many to let it be tTampled under feet by an aspiring politician.
 That the State fair should be an issue Ill the coming senatorial cam paign was not situation invited by the Arkansas State Fair, but if the light Is carried to it, the association will have to meet the issues and the attacks, and answer them.
 Arkansas boasts of advancement, and hopes for further progress. That advancement and progress can only he developed with the dawn of thas day in Arkansas politics when a pre- judice can not be stirred into poli- tical issue, and when politician can not hope to gain fame through the de- rision of some particular institution.
