The Advocate refers ~ this az
.1a.ter ~ iBstiee N Judge seDft. Tor
he reasDn thst sOnne few citizens
and faxDayers have stated that their
nderstanding Of conversations with
Judge senff mere that be was Op-
1osed ~ the prOf,ossd bond issue, that
y ou2ht 70 be defeated. that only the
fanners or landowners would pay for
ibe bond issue tax. This. Of course,
must be due 10 a Notwithstanding
After working IN cooperation with
Judge senff 10 get this question be-

None Of them would advocate il II

yised Of this situation, and under
the stigma Of trying 10 saddle a
burden on others. no part Of which
they themselves would have TO bear
TO the citizens at large The Ad-
yocate says this question has been
more or less involved in obscurities
Observation-Disclosures are natural and
inevitable. The situation is now
