Juan C. Sanchez is known all over
the county as man of high charac-
ter, strict honor and integrity, a man

man who will state his position on
any question without evasion, and
who can be depended upon every day
in the year. He speaks both Span
ish and English fluently. He is thor
oughly familiar with the business of
the county, and is competent to dis
charge the duties of treasurer. He
would make good officer and ought
to be elected.

During the past few days large
flock of political setting. hens have
rushed from their nests with prodig-
ious squawks because the president
said he would like to have majority
of Democrats returned to congress in
the approaching elections. They are
greatly Mortified by the disregard of
that mouldy chestnut, precedent. !"
Practically every president of the
country has wanted congress in po-
litical harmony with himself, and up
on the approach of an election has
signified his desire by every means
at his command except word of
mouth President Wilson has most
difficult job on his hands, and it is
perfectly natural that he should want
"a congress in political harmony with
himself. Nobody is objecting be-
cause he wants it-they are just
"hollering" because he says so.

There are plenty of other good
men in the county of course, men
who are well qualified to discharge
the duties of the office of county
clerk; but if you search the county
over you cannot find a man better
qualified for the office than Ralph G..
Robertson. Also, you can't find bets
ter man, in every sense of the word.
By reason Of his business as an alb
stractor which he has pursued for
years, he is thoroughly familiar with
all the business of the county clerks
office. 1t would be impossible to get
better officer-efficient, compe-
tent, and pleasant, courteous and ac-
commodating to all corners. He

HIGH TAXES

A good many people are complain
ing of high taxes, and some of the
complainants, no doubt, are intend
ing to vote the Republican ticket next
Tuesday. The man who has voted
the Republican ticket in this state
and who intends to continue doing so,
is very inconsistent when he COM
plains about high taxes. He is voting
for high taxes, and is getting what he
votes for.
The issue is now made up in this
state, and there is nothing to indicate
that the Republican party has seen
new light.
1t had an opportunity two years
ago to reform the laws and reduce
taxes, but instead of that it piled
them up, and made no attempt to un-
do any of the vicious legislation of
former years.
The taxes are high because of laws
made by the Republicans of this state.
The poor man is taxed to the limit
on the worth of his property-in
some cases his valuation is more
than he could possibly sell the prop
erty for. But there are Big Busi-
ness concerns in the state that are
taxed on less than sixth of the sale
value of their holdings
While taxes have been made to
bear with extra weight on the man
of ordinary means, the Republican,
have been piling up the expense. Go
to Santa Fe, and you fall over
'fboard" or Commission" at every
street corner. And they all cost
money.
1t is well known and undisputed
fact that each county in the state
pays unnecessarily five or ten thou
sand dollars every year in salaries:
And the Republicans turned out OF
the legislature men fairly elected, in
order that they might have a two
thirds majority to pass the county
salary bill over the Democratic gov
ernors veto, and mulct the taxpayers
of the counties in this neat little sum.
High taxes?
Sure! E
Do you vote 'em on yourself, just
because the bunch of men in power
in this state use name you was once
proud of?

Everybody lie the county except
the new comers knows that it would
be impossible to get better assessor
than Dixie Howell He is accommo-
dating to everybody and is every
body's friend. He knows the bus
mess of the assessors office by heart,
and can be depended upon to be al
ways on the job, and to have the work
up in first class shape. A vote for
Dixie is a vote for the right man.

Had He Picked Out His General?

Ben Hapgood Burt, who writes popu-

his fellow members of a theatrical club
in New York city upon the subject of
patriotism in the present national cri-

man should do his bit-in the fighting
line, if possible.

EDUCATIONAL CODE
READY FOR SOLONS
SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF LEGIsLA,
TORS AND EDUCATORS SUB
MlTS NEW CODE.
sMB0DIES ALL SCHOOL LAWS
Up for Final Action by Considera.
ton of Only Adoption Clause
or the Measure.

Sackson.-One OF the biggest and
most comprehensive measures before
the legislature, barring the fiscal com.
mlttee and ways and means bill, is ap.
parently the educational code, drafted
two months ago by specially select.
ed committee of lawmakers and educa.
tors. There is no department of actiy.
ity in the state which is surrounded
by as much legislation as that which
includes the oversight and direction
of common schools and the code com
mission has brought forward, con
densed strengthened and amended
such acts pertaining thereto, as have
been passed fer the past fifteen or
twenty years.
In the new compilation all Of the
laws pertaining to common schools,
whether separate districts, rural dis
tricts, consolidated and transportation
districts, or agricultural high schools,
have been forwarded in proper code
form. This matter has been completed
and has been in the hands of the edu-
tor some weeks, which have given them
some consideration. Instead OF con-
suming time by considering each code
chapter or section separately, it is
suggested that all that will be neces-
sary in the way of floor legislation
will be consideration of the general or
adoption act, which has not been sub
lnitted as yet.
At the state department of educa-
ton 1t was stated that the educational
code stands a good chance for consid-
Grafton during the coming week. 1t
has also been suggested as means or
expediting the work of consideration,
that much quicker and more satisfac-
tory headway could be made by resolv-
Ing into committee of the whole, and
going over and adopting each section
Of the new code. This plan may be
adopted, and if so, much time would
be saved, and in a week, the entire
measure could be completed, as be-
lieved.
. In order to expedite further the
consideration of the proposed code, 1t
will probably be called as special or
der the latter part of this week, in
the senate. Thus, while the house is
engaged in consideration of the big
supply bills that are on its dockets,
the senate could buckle down to the
educational code work, and be able to
show satisfac ctory progress.

Want Big Food Crops at Prisons.

Col. w A. Montgomery, one of the
three trustees of the penitentiary,
wants the legislature to pass a law
compelling the superintendent of the
convict farms to plant a greater acre
age in corn and ether grain than he
now contemplates. The superinten-
dent has determined to plant three
fourths OF his land in cotton, as usual,
and has so announced. At the same
time he will make ali the feedstuff pos
sible on the balance, and that means
about five or six thousand acres, to
about 3, 900 acres in cotton.
Colonel Montgomery would turn that
proposition around, putting three
fourths of the land to grain and calls
on the legislature to give the superin-
tendent orders to tnat effect.
