THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
With two exceptions every candidate the Republican
county ticket has served the people official capacity in
the past We believe that the people of the county are
sufficiently we'll acquainted with these candidates and
their records as to make formal introduction at the
hands of The Tribune unnecessary. Nothing that we
might say this time will change the readers opinion OF
these candidates This is right and proper The candi-
dates have had ample opportunity to get acquainted with
the voters their friends have had opportunity
their euoges their enemies every chance in the world
to register their criticisms We believe that the candidates
have become acquainted know that their friends speak
well of them; and the criticisms made by political OPP
ponents have been trivial; weak and baseess to
be undeservng Of serious consideration.
The Republican county ticket naturally making their
campaign upon record made by the present Republican
officials The record shows conclusivey that Of
flee which is in the hands of a Republican has been
Quoted honestly, economically and efficiently The good
work done by the county officers and by the board OF
county commissioners itself has enabled the board to
make substantial reduction in taxes. The tax notices
for this year show very clearly the actual saving in dol
lars and they will make their taxes in compar
son with 1912 1918 The Tribune has published list
of representative properties taken random from the
necords which show the actual reductions that taking
place At this time wish remind the taxpayer that
these properties only samples All properties in the
county will enjoy substantially the reductions If
your name does not occur the list it simply be-
cause the committee did not happen to hit upon it.
The tax question has been discussed for years
Governor Hawey started the agitation by his i'll advised
nsisance upon the actual value basis when proper
and preparatory legislation had been enacted We be-
eve that every taxpayer is convinced that honest eff
fort has been made and will be made by Republican state
and county officials to reduce and to continue to reduce
taxes All they have to do is to continue
along the line they have started Democrats Progress
sives might do we'll Nobody knows what they may do.
Why make change when the end of high taxes is in
sight?
for the Republican county nominees is vote for
honesty economy efficiency and further tax reduction 1t
fhA
and nsructs his county officials to continue to make re-
ductions No knows what any other kind of vote
means. Time, of course, will tell. Do trade
tainty for uncertainty.
DEMOCRATIC PROMISE VS.. REPUBLICAN PER
TORRANCE.
VIE ask our readers to read the from the ad
dress made by Senator Boah in the United States senate
published another page of this issue of The Tribune
1t will be remembered that the Democratic party in con
venton assembled at Baltimore vociferous in
pledging themselves to economy in government as M
Alexander dared to be- Senator Borah shows the
record made by the present Democratic congress in the
matter of economy. The present Democratic national ad
mnistration costing $205O00000 per year thar
any Republican national administration cost So
ravagant and wastefu has been the Wilson admnstra
ton that it has become necessary to levy il
times of peace and the end is not yet Senator Boraf
calls attention several proposed expenditures that viii
the total into millions of dollars more.
We have pointed than occasion tina
while Mr.. Hawley, Mr.. Nugent and Mr.. Alexander CLAIM
TO endorse all the policies of the Wilson ad ADMINISTRATION
not of them has attempted to explain the waste AM
extravaganza of the Democratic congress which is alb
solutcy owned, controlled and dominated by the pccS
dent, himself.
When you go to the polls remember the promises mad
in the Baltimore platform. At the time recall
mind the actual performances OF the present ad
mnistration. One is Democratic promise while tn
other is Republican performance. Democratic
costs hundreds OF millions of dollars per year tina
Republican extravaganza.
