The advisability Of holding a special
election on the tuberculosis sanitarium
proposition, is questionable. An elec-
ZION held for but one object in view
would naturally concentrate the vot-
er's attention to the thing being voted
On, and is, no doubt, the reason the
special election is being asked for. If,
however, the proposition, to be success
ial, must, according to number Of at
torneys, receive the approval Of a ma
5ority of the voters of the county, 1t
Is foredoomed, as the vote will not
come out. A vote on the proposition
at the general election, which will
be held very shortly, would insure a
much larger expression, and save the
extra expense, which is large item.
Reasonable measures for the erad-
ication of the dreaded disease should
be encouraged. The plan proposed has
many strong supporters, those having
made study Of the matter, claiming
1T the best line on which to proceed,
and number of counties have favor
ably acted on the matter.
People should have right to vote
on matters which generally affect them
when presenting the proper petition,
but special election on this PROPOSE
tion seems unnecessary.

ter. The commissioners, after much
consideration felt that the county
could not afford to take up the propo.
sition at this time. If the proposition
comes to a vote the financial side Of
the question, as we'll as the benefits to
accrue, will be we'll considered by the
people before casting their votes.
