AS IT IS.

In the last issue of the Argus
it was said all the republicans
and socialists running for county
Office replied in the affirmative to
the questions propounded by the
editor of that paper in IA circular
letter sent out with reference
to auditing the books, and in this
connection said that this would
leave the matter of auditing the
books to be fought out among
the parties at the fall election.
These statements sound as
though they had been made by "A
gentleman who did not have the
success of the democratic party
at heart. One would think that
the writer of such statements
possessed certain tendencies
that might lead him away from
the democratic fold.
So the republicans and social
lists have all answered? There
is nothing strange about this,
and it does not require logician
to apprehend their reasons for
having done so. The republicans
and socialists are in the minority
in the county and the candidates
upon these two tickets realize
that unless they can start a row
among the democrats on the
auditing question, and thereby
persuade some of the democrats
to not support the democratic
nominees, they will have no pos
sible chance to defeat the demo
cratic nominees for county Office
at the polls in November. Tn,
democrats have not answered th'
questions of the Argus one way
or the other, because they hav,
not considered it would be be

So it is easily seen, from the
city's books, that in the absence
of other information, our re-
remarks were well-intended and
we'll timed, and we hope that
some good may result.
Our future improvement and
prosperity depends upon suf-
ticient taxation to cary at least

while the present valuation, even
at the county's figures, is not
sufficient to take care of the city
