AacARD
To the Democratic Voters Of Mason
County Telling WHY J. T. Gather
Should Receive Nomination
For County Judge.

In submitting a few brief articles to
the voters Of Mason county, 1t is my
purpose to outline my course II nom
mated and elected. | believe, heartily
In the administration of all our pub
lie affairs In q business-llke way, but
differ widely from some In the way.
1t Is true that neat books and correct
records should be kept and should
be open to the public at all times but
the crying need Of Mason County to-
day is Supervision. say this with no
reflection whatever on the men who
have been or are to day, administer
ing our public affairs, but lay It wholly
to the system. With the changing of
our system to the Commission Form
we should have ample and adequate
| relief.
| To my mind the most important
county question that eonfronts us is
the improvement of our pixies and
thoroughfares. Year by year we
have seen them deteriorate, until to-
day they are, in many places, almost
impossible. What should be done?
There are only two things to do that
can possibly effect relief-place metal
on the roads and keep the water off.
How should 1t be done? In a strictly
economical way and with a supervis-
ion that will guarantee the taxpayers
a dollars worth OF work or material
for every dollar Of their money ex-
pended A great deal of complaint is
made that some roads are getting
more than their just portion Of the
road funds and that others are ne
elected and suffer injury thereby. My
recommendation for this evil is to
apportion the funds to each and ev-
cry mile of the various roads accord
ing to the use, wear, traffic, ETC., and
see that this allotment is actually ex-
pended on each and every road in a
manner that will insure the taxpayers
value received for money expended.
This Is honest, Just and equitable be-
cause the tax-gatherer visits the man
on the isolated road just as surely as
he visits the one on the main thor
oughfare. II after having given this
system a fair, impartial and honest
test, our road fund proves insuffic-
lent, then the people Of Mason coun.
| ty will be willing and anxious to vote
an additional tax sufficient to keep our
roads in the proper condition.
mention the road question because to
my mind it is the most vital subject
with which we have to deal. Other
important subjects relative to our fis.
cal affairs exist and many more will
arise. All should have the same fail
and equitable treatment as the above

RAMBUNCTIOUS cows

A herd OF cows being driven through
the city yesterday about noon were
about the widest bunch of animals
seen In this section for some time.
One Of the cows got pretty gay while
on Commerce street and let Its heels
fly up in the air, kicking Mr.. Jess
Dougan, one Of the drivers, Of Mt. Gil
cad In the right jaw near the eye,
causing an ugly cash and quite a flow
of blood. The injury was not serious
but rather painful. After stopping the
flow of blood he proceeded with the
cattle. Another one of the cows
thought the day entirely too warm and
entered the door Of the storage room
Of the Limestone Lumber Company on
East Second street, 1t was soon made
to realize that company was not well
come In the lumber room and pro-
ceeded with the rest of the herd.

furthermore that he was unduly in
fuenced to sign his name and that
the alleged will of 1919 Is not the true
will, but the win of 1902 is the last
