A Few Election Briefs

Our venerable friend E. E. Rustad
was elected treasurer of Clinton with
out opposition for the thirty-first con.
secutive time. Where can that record
be equaled?
C. E. Sallander was elected chairman
of Wheatland by one majority over Oil
yer Hayden. The town 72 to Sc refused
to levy a tax of $1,000 to complete
work on the Davis-DeSoto road, thus
FORGETTING $1,000 from the state and
county to assist in the project.
In Clinton Chairman Peterson and
Emil Erickson were tie for chairman,
the latter winning on a draw.
Webster had its usual lively scrap
for chairman, Nick Dorsheid being re-
elected by four over Joseph Appleman.

EDITORIAL

The legislature opened on Monday af-
ter q weeks vacation, and il ia expect
ed solid team work will be accomplish
ed from this time forward to the close.
The big propositions will consume much
time and thought. Consolidation of
commissions and merging of different
educational agencies under one financi-
al management will be the big bones
of contention. Members pledged to a
reduction TO taxes are doing their best
to accomplish that end, but they are
having rugged time. Those long in
authority are making a desperate fight
to retain their official hold. Every
move made to correct mismanagement
and reduce taxes is denounced as ire
dictionary" and abandonment of pro-
gressive government and legislation, I"
an attempt to destroy the university +"
a bureau having its headquarters in
Madison, Is active, in sending out that
kind Of dishonest dope TO the world.
Tax payers of the state should keep their
