Every taxpayer ought to vote in today's elec.

the flag while his pockets are being rifled?

terests.
What does it matter if some trust fears tariff
revision, or if some office-holder fears ruin and
starvation if he has to depend upon himself for
living?
What taxpayers want to know and ought to
know these things:
l. Are assessments increasing or not?
2. Are tax rates rising or falling?
3. Are valuations adjusted fairly and
equally?
4. Are public funds properly handled or not?
5. Have public officials right to favor with
public benefits institutions in which they are fl
nancally interested?
6. Are certain banks receiving special bene.

moneys?
I. Are county expenses increasing out of all
proportion to the work done or not?
8. Are all the people being treated fairly and
squarely in elections and in the use of voting ma.
chimes?
9. Are public officials to consider themselves
immune from rebuke, revision or investigation?
10. Are vile ISLANDERS of libelous neyspapers
TO continue to stir up this community without
your remonstrance?
H. Are county commissioners to receive
your Endorsement of paying out S6OOOOO for
newspaper advertising in excess of what the law
contemplates?
H. Are lists to be padded and names voted
illegally in the future they have in the past cam.

tired Of hearing about rubber bands in voting

They tired of paying taxes which are used to

They tired Of seeing the same old faces

They are tired of contributing free money to
