The die 10 cast in the cam.
paien Of Baca county this year in
the matter Of tax levies, the re-
lublseans committed to a CON
'tinustion Of the piling on of sax-
es. thu democ rats believing
that In the deplorable condition
the PEOPLE Of the county are
placed. the scalpiMg knife should
b, used and expenditures cut TO
the bone.
q To be specific. the democrats
believe that until times get bet
er. the people get on their feet.
and the county RECEIVERS from its
ailments, road work in that part
IF the county now fairly well
supplied should be confined
mostly to road maintenance, and
road building practically limited
70 the parts Of the county here
tofose neglected. and there such
roads as are necessary to trans
port their iarm products to
market. .-
For the purpose of such road
building and maintenance, i'm
stead Of the 3.55 mills levied last
year for. roal work. creating a
fund Of approximately S36. 900
,oe rad purposes. It 10 believed
that con siderably less than half
that levy would now answer,
and shat by the economy that
OH yht 10 obtain in the buildin &
AMI maintenance Of the roads at
last $50 600 ought to be saved
q road work next year.
N Connection with this levy and
he above mentioned saving, how
'er. it wants to be understood
I at this levy will be made in
November by the present repub-
li.:an controlled board. and un-
l'ss the tax payers will come in
aid demand the levy he made
a.ong the above lines the saving
r?nn5t be made. and another
I ,payable tax burden will be
Led upon US.
We believe that by rigid
'con my in ordinary expendi-
lres in the matter of letting
( cIntracts, in allowing bills. in J.,
'.uyi; s mat erials. etc., ETC.. al
swim : could easily be made in
ne C unity ordinary revenue of
-om Los to 2 mills, the levy
ror this year being 2.65 mills.
,hus elfectine a saving in the
one case Of $15. 900, aud in the
pther Of $2o. 900, and it is prob
able that in,the other funds a
saving might be effected Of
5000 Or more.
1t will thus be seen that the
Saving in taxes. if the levy in
November is made along the
sbov lines, would be something
hk1 y 100000 the coming year.

The County Commissioner.

The 6rst in Importance in car.
rying out the provisions Of this
program is the democratic nom-
inee for county commissioner
Albert Peterson of Wentw orth.
Mr.. Peterson is in full accord
with the provisions Of the pro-
gram - autlined, and by bis
election the democrats will con-
troll the board of commissioners
and be able to put the provisions
above outlined in force.
Mr.. Peterson is a successful
farmer and business man. is well
qualified for the place. is broad
minded ard level headed. and if
elected can be banked on to
bring the same economy to coun-
ty affairs that business men and
farmers have been forced to dur
ing the past two years-that of
buying what must be bought,
and doing without what we don't
have to have.
The County Clerk.
Victor Baker is young man,
well qualified. Am hjtious to rise
IA life. honest. pains taking and
economical. and if elected will
bring the best efficiency to the
Office with the least expense pos
sible. .ssa.a
A vote for Vic Bakeris a vote
for economy in the county clerks
office.
The County Treasury
Jessie Homer has every requis-
ite qualification for the Office,
literal and otherwise, is courte-
ous. painstaking, and economical,
expects to be on the job all the
time himself and to get along
with the least help possible. and
In every other way to bring a
strict business economy to the
Office. 81
A vote for Jesse L. Homer for
treasurer is u vote for the
principals of economy outlined.
in the above program.
The County Sheriff.
Probably the best recommend
for the democratic nominee for
sheriff-Billy Duniven, is his
statement that-"when 1 bring
in a still. there will be a man
brought in with the STILL"
Probably the biggest joke OF
the doines in the Office the past
two years. runs thus-'we've
captured another still. we've
captured another still, we've
captured another SELL" Darn
the still-what is wanted is
the man. Vote for billy Duni-
van for sheriff.

party Of Baca county line up on
those proposed tax reductions
and tar measures. We quote the
following from their organ The
Baca County Republican, owned
! by Doc Emerson, Maurice Long
and Gurn Thompson:
The Democrat Herald. ~. act
ua,ly advocates the ;dtscontinu-
ance Of road building....and sug-
gests half mill levy to keep up
, the roads for onother yecr. after
which time the roads will have
disappeared and the people too.
OF course which one of own.
-ers of the Republican wrote the
above is immaterial. but it IS in
line with the stand Of the repub-
licans OF the county as squarely
opposed to tho tax reductions we
are here outlining by which
around $40. 900 can Le saved to
the taxpayers OF the county the
coming year.
AS the publication of the de-
linquent tax list at 40 and 80
! cents per inch, as was their bid
for the county printing, Would
run 10 the neighborhood of $500
or $60O-of course they Can poo
poo any attempt of lax payers to
cut out the $50, 900 delinquency.
Voters Of Baca county, for
years you have been CRYING to
heaven for tax reductions and
tax relief, and your cries last
year were answered by repub-
lican controlled beard of commits
sioners with a s5O. 600 delinquent
tax list. 9. -.. .- y @-
They are now on the eve Uf
election, throwing ont a sop in
the way of a vague promise OF
taking off little. but instead of
a vague campaign promise at
this time Of a certain trifie. 1t
should hav' been done by cerl'in
amount at least two years ago.
and one year ago the program we
are here outlining should have
been put in force, aud thus the
people saved the calamity of an
unpayable and crushing tax bur-
den.
The meaning of a campaign
promise after a two-years' oppor.
tunity, and while the people were
crying to the gods for relief. is
like the campaign promise nov
to bald roads east OF Eiler and
east of Campo, after those fc.!ers
down there for several years
have been hollering their heads
off and gotten promises and
promises, and when their votes
are needed. behold they are CIV
ell another promise.
The republican controlled
board has been laying on the
lash during the deplorable two
years past of bottomless times,
and the party is committed to
the same mad pace the year to
come, and the next and the next.
The democratic party and cam
oidates are committed to the
program here outlined that viii
save to the people Of the county
something ike $4,000 in taxes - ---
and with the question thus
fairly put and outlined, it is for
you to choose which road you viii
travel.
