SCOTT COUNTY
BONDS CARRIED
BY0NLY46VOTES
Returns From All Precincts
Show 1888 For And 1856
Against.
FARMERS TOO BUSY TO
CAST THEIR VOTES
Towns in Which Tribune Has
Large Circulation, Defeated
Bonds Overwhelmingly.

The $750,000 bond issue voted on IN
Scott County yesterday was carried by
a majority of 46 votes. the returns
from the % precincts Of the county
show. The total vote was 1929 for,
and 1896 against, 24S3 votes being re-
auired to carry the issue. The issue
required two-third majority of the
votes cast to be adopted.
1t was the second election held on
the bond issue within less than two
months. The fact that the advocates
were able to select time when the
farmers, the main opponents to the
bond issue, were busy in the harvest
fields, accounts solely for the passage
of the bonds. The suppression of the
opposition also aided in carrying the
bonds.
About 200 votes more were cast at
this election than on June 5, the day
on which the proposition was put to a
vote of the people of Scott County for
i the first time. At that time PHI
votes were polled for the bonds and
1865 against the issue, defeating the
bonds by more than 200 votes.
| The returns show that in those towns
in which The Tribune has large cir
culation, the proposition was over
whelmingly defeated. The Tribune has
opposed the bond issue from the very
beginning, on the grounds that the
property owners are really opposed to
the issue for the reason of the heavy
tax burden and the unjust distribn-
ton of the proposed Improvement of
the roads in Scott County.
Kelso, Fornfelt, limo and other
towns in which The Tribune has g
large circulation voted solidIy against
the bond issue. H. kelso the vote
stood nearly three to one against the
proposition, while in Fornfeit the vote
was almost two to one against the
bonds.
Blodgett, Sikeston, Commerce anC
Diehlstadt virtually decided the cleo
ton. These four towns cast 1856
votes for the bonds, or more than one
half of the vote counted in favor OF
the bonds. In Diehlstadt So votes
were cast for the bonds and two
against. Blodgett had 313 for and ter
against.
The total amount of the bonds voted
upon yesterday represent one-tenth OF
the property assessments of Scott
County, less the Indebtedness of the
county. It will necessitate a large in,
crease Of the tax rate for the property
owners, especially the farmers. The
plans for the proposed road improve
ments show that many farmers vii
not derive the least benefit from the
issuance of the bonds, as their prop
erty will in no way be affected by the
improvement of the roads.
The fact that the farmers were toe
busy with their crops, afforded the adj
vocates of the road bonds victory
Nearly 200 votes less than in the pre-
vious election were cast yesterday
against the bonds. Had the farmers
been able to go to the polls, the bonds
would have been defeated by more
than 200 votes.
The vote by precincts was cast as
follows:
