It is claimed that several thousand
American boys are still patroling that
part of the Rhine at Coblenz Ito en-
force the peace terms" We did not
sign the peace treaty. We were not a
party to it, therefore have no peace
terms to enforce. Hostilities ceased
two years ago November II. The
question naturally arises whether
American troops have any business on
the Rhine or anywhere else in Eu-
rope. We believe not, and also believe
that one method of restoring peace
and quiet to Europe is to bring home
every American soldier to stay home.
President Wilson refused to put his
signature on the resolution passed by
congress, declaring peace with Ger
many and our other enemies during
the world war, and yet he PERSISTS in
being a party to keeping American
forces over there to enforce peace.
We can't quite understand such pro-
ceedure.

NEW ELECTION
LAW PROPOSED

w. R. Tucker, auditor of Cass
county, proposes to have introduced
at the next session Of the legislature
a bill to amend and re-enact the
state election laws.
The creation Of an extra board to
begin counting as soon as 30 ballots
are cast, change Of hours in the
rural and city polling districts, a
recount Of the vote in each precinct
after the returns have been certified
to the county Judge with at least
three defeated candidates on the
county ticket serving on the board,
are points considered.
Mr.. Tucker declares that the pres
ent election laws in regard to polling
places and election officers are not
suited to present, needs and cited the
instance Of the count in the 18th pre-
cinct, new high school building, at
the last election. More than 1000
votes were cast and the work of the
board was particularly arduous. The
state law as amended at the 1919
session of the state Legislature pro-
vides that precinct casting 800
votes or under cannot be divided and
this also works a hardship and de-
lays the count. 5- 49,
Tucker says that members of cleo
ton boards working long hours in
cramped polling places as they did
at the last presidential and state
election are very apt to make mis-
takes. Under the present system, as
soon as the ballots are counted, the
ballot box is sealed and the election
books are taken to the county audi
tors Office where clerks take the to-
tails and transfer them to another
book for record purposes. There is
no recount of the ballot, which Mr.
Tucker strongly urges.
Zone of the points which I have
under consideration" he said, lis to
have an extra board comprising
three judges and two clerks or more
as the need may be, begin counting
as soon as so ballots are cast. This
board would resume it's count as soon
as another SO ballots had been cast
Mr.. Tucker also recommends that
the voting hours in the polls in. the
rural townships should open ia 9 a.
M and close at p. M, and the polls
in the cities open at 9 a. m. and close
at z p. M, instead Of opening at 9 a.
M, and closing at 9 p. m. as under the
present law.

The new law relating to the pay
ment of taxes is now in effect. This
law provides that the taxes can be
paid in the spring and in the fall,
the first payment of this years taxes
will be due in March, we understand,
but if a farmer does not want to pay
them at that time the penalty is only
about 3 IL per cent so that it wiz
pay him to let them run until fall be-
cause that would be cheaper than boz
rowing the money to pay the taxes
with. We can see where there is very
little money going INTO the state or
county treasury for taxes and our Of
fcials will have to live on warrants
like they used to forty years ago.
