MY LAST APPEAL

To The Voters of Nevada County:
 On account of sickness in my family and the excessive bad weather in the beginning of the campaign, It is going to be im- possible for me to see all the voters of the county, so 1 am making my final appeal to you in this way.
 am treasured every day that my friends are behind me. Up- on them am depending for my success. I contend that my claim for the office lis fair and right. My township :(parkor). has not had county officer in eighteen years. While the sin gle township from which my op. ponents come, have furnished more than eighteen county of ficers in the same length of time. Now, everything equal. would it not be fair to extend the favors to a township that has not tried to fill the county offices every year but only asked for an office twice in eighteen years, and yet has not been favored? What is the justice in selecting the ma jority of our officers from a cer- tain favored district in the coun- ty? We believe in distributing the honors over as wide a terri tory as possible, rather than to a favored spot. 1 have challenged investigation of my character, reputation and fitness for the office; none of these have ever been questioned.
 1 want to thank my many friends for their warm support and efforts in my behalf. lprom- ise if elected to the office, to per form its duties faithfully. always to the interest of the county.
 am sincerely yours,
 w. M. GRAIN. Advt

to be elected governor.
 Yours for success,
"I,. C. Smith.


 If Judge Smith should be nom- mated on March %, would he hand the choicest appointments to the crowd he jumped to in 1900? If nominated by the Dem- ocratic party, which he publicly deserted in 1900, would he ex- pect the party to support him in the general election? Can he consistently abandon the party in 1900, and then ask it to make him governor in 1916?
 Refusal 10 support the nominee has always been the most unpar- donable of political sins. Judge Smith must first absolve himself from such sin before he can ex. pect reward at the hands of the Democratic party. Try running on the Republican ticket against a Democratic nominee, Judge Smith. that is where you belong. Advt. c. H. BROUGH.

If Bush Is not running in the interest of Goodwin why Is it that he is fighting me every where, misrepresentiER my plat form and trying to prejudice you against me. and not fighting Goodwin? Why is it that he has gotten out a 16 page pamphlet in which he taken up a good part attacking me and not a word does he say about Goodwin? l have warned my friends of this fact from the beginning.

THE QUESTION


 Hope, Ark, March 4, 1916. Ways and Means Committee, House of Representatives,
 Washing ton, D. c.
 Gentlemen:
 1 am a farmer and don't claim to be an expert on raising money to run the government, but 1 see the papers are full of talk about different ways of getting money to pay the running expenses and that your committee will have to draw laws to raise the money.
 It always seemed to me that we poor folks pay too much taxes and the rich folks do not pay enough, and if l was making laws 1 would change this so the rich. who can afford to pay taxes, would have to pay their share. The income tax is good way to raise money, but 1 don't think the rates are high enough. l have read that Congress might raise the rates and l hope they will.
 The people who are getting rich making guns and sheels for the countries at war. and trying to get us into it, ought to have tax put on their goods for the benefit of the government. have heard it discussed here about putting a Federal tax on lands and some say this can be done while oth- CTS say it can't be done. would like to know if this could be done. There are lots of people and corporations in this part of Arkansas who own a great deal of land which they do not put to any good use, simply hold it for speculation, and it has been said that if Congress would put a graduated tax on this land. so that if 8 man owned one hun dred acres of land that he was not working himself, his taxes would be so much per acre. and l if he owned two hundred acres | it would be taxed at a higher rate, and so on, until if he owned thousands of acres the tax would be equal to the value of the land, and some think this would be a good thing, because they would sell the land and renters could then buy homes. 1 would like to know if this could be done by Congress.
 Very truly yours, (Signed)
 G. w. MCDOWELL.

THE ANSWER

THE ANSWER
 Washington, D. C., Mar. 8, 1916 Mir. c. w. Mcdowell.
 Hope, Arkansas.
 My Dear Sir:
 Your letter of March 4, ad- dressed to the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Rep resentatives, has been received. In reply. 1 beg to say that I agree with you that the income tax should be increased, and that there should be levied a tax upon munitions of war. 1 believe this is the sentiment of the Ways and Means Committee. especially of the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee.
 l note that you state that 1t has been suggested by some in your state that there should be a Federal graduated tax on land. With such suggestion 1 do not agree; in fact. I am confident that not a member of the Ways and Means Committee, either Democrat or Republican. would support such proposition; nor do 1 think there is a member in Congress who would support it. Congress, from the beginning of the government, never under took to tax lands. This is one of the fundamental rights of the state and is properly left entire ly with the states. 1 have re ceived hundreds of letters with respect to methods of raising taxation for the Federal govern ment. but your letter is the first suggestion 1 have had to levy a Federal tax on lands.
 With assurances of my kindest est regards. I beg to remain. Sincerely yours, (Signed)

 Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and adds to the food only whole some qualities.
 Some baking powders contain alum or phosphate, both of mineral origin, and used as substitutes for cream of tartar because of their cheapness.

WORK THAT TELLS
The Kind Bemidji Readers Ap.

Inc Kind Bemldp Readers Ap-
preciate.
To thoroughly know the virtues of
a medicine you must investigate it's
work. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right
here in this locality. People who
testified years ago to relief from
backache, kidney and urinary disor-
ders, now give confirmed testimony
declare the results have lasted. Can
any Bemidji sufferer longer doubt
the evidence?
Mrs. O. w. Erwin, Turtle River,
MIMI, says: ''Some three years ago
my kidneys began to do their work
poorly. I was so bad that I thought
I would die. My back was very, weak
and couldn't bend over without be-
ing in agony. The kidney secretions
we're scanty and contained sediment.
My breath came in gasps and I often
felt as though I was smothering. My
whole body bloated and I often lay
awake half the night, gasping for
breath. I was so discouraged that I
thought death would be relief.
Nothing helped me and my life was
one constant round of suffering. I
finally began using Doan's Kidney
Pills and am we'll and happy today.
It is Doan's Kidney Pills that made
the cure"
OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Erwin said: "The cure Doan's Kid
ney Pills made has been a permanent
one, and I recommend them when
ever I have a favorable opportunity"
