Corn Badly Demaging

The continual rains and warm
weather the past week has caused
much corn in the shock to sprout
and damage. Many farmers are
shucking and spreading it, where
they have the room. This seems
all the way to save it. 1t turned
cooler yesterday, which probably
indicates a check in the rain. If
it continues cooler it will at least
stop the corn from sprouting on
the ears. Fall grass was never
better, and wheat is looking un-
usually fine owing to the wet
warm weather.

Election Tuesday

Tuesday the election comes oil
after most exciting campaign.
Both parties have apparently,
left nothing undone to further
their interests, but with the eX
ception of few Republicans
who will vote for Black for per.
sonal reasons, we know of none
on either side willing to cross
over into the enemy camps.
The Republicans have based
their claim for votes on h
ground that Morrow will econo.
miZe, and that Democrats have
caused expenses to Increase too
fast. This is not good for every
body knows that expenses of ev.
erything is two or three times
higher now than when Wilson
was Governor. II is but neces-
sary fact that State expenses
must increase as does every other
item.
Since Wilson was Governor the
Confederate pension Department
has been established. This costs
thousands of dollars every year,
the Department of public roads
has also been established since
Wilson was Governor. This de.
partment alone spends three
quarters of million dollars yearly
ON the roads. The Illiteracy COM
mission is another institution
created since Wilson was Gov
ernor. This calls for considera-
BILE money.
The State tax rate under viii.
son was so cents on the hundred
dollars. Under Stanley it is 10
cents.
To curtail expenses it will be
necessary to stop the Confeder-
ate pensions: to abolish the Hit.
eracy commission; to abandon
the State aid for roads. Is that
the way Morrow proposes to cur
tail expenses?
Do you want this done and
your taxes put back up to so
cents? Then vote for Morrow.
If you want your state taxes
to remain at 40 cts. and the Con.
federate pensions to remain; the
state and for the roads to remain,
and the Illteracy commission to
continue, vote for Black.
While The Times does not in.
dorse the Stanley administration
in to to, our observation has
always been that any candidates
that propose to do the absolute
impossible, as is the case with
Morrow etc, the result is always
a complete failure as was the
case in the Bradley and Wilson
administration. We see no rem.
edy by voting for Morrow.
On the contrary, we do expect
a one hundred per cent. improve
ment in Black and Shanks over
Stanley. They are far better
men and will make good, we do
not doubt.
