eral William LANCER. They are
speaking at Perth this afternoon and
will speak at Bisbee tonight y They
spoke at Egeland on Saturday to one 1
Of the largest crowds that has gath
cred anywhere during the campaign.
Mr.. Kehoe went into the tax situation
carefully and completely refuted the
claims made by Senator Cahill, John
Hagen. Thomas Sullivan and other
league speakers that taxes were only
being raised five cents per acre. Al
though Mr.. Kehoe had chailenGAd
Governor Frazier or any Of the other
speakers sent In here under the pay
Of Townley to debate the, tax prob
lem. none Of them appeared to Accept
the challenge. "a 4

Mr.. Kehoe gave some forty exaM-
pies in as many different sections OF
Towner county as to what the taxes
would be. picking out quarters here
and there owned by we'll known. resi-
dents Of the county. He showed that
without the Is cents an acre hail tax,
the taxes would in all cases be dou-
bled and in some cases trebled. He
conclusively proved that IL the leagues
contention that higher taxes were
necessary, was true, that they had
placed all except about five cents OF
the raise on real estate owned by the
farmers and had not given the rail
roads and other corporations thesr
proporionate share of the increase.
He paid his respects to the order OF
Tax Commissioner Wallace, who only
a few weeks ago gave an order to the
county auditor reducing the taxes on
the old line elevator companies in this
county; and when the county auditor
refused and called on Governor Frax-
ier and Wallace together, put the
blame on McGovern. and McGovern il
turn, repudiated the responsibilities
said he knew nothing about the low
ering of taxes on the old line elevator
companies. The county auditor
thereupon refused to obey instruction
OF the state tax commissioned and the
governor with the result that they
will either have to take him into court
