AMERICAN HORSES

During the period of Indian wars in
the West, the redskins generally had good
horses and ponies, which they rode splen-
didly and often successfully in their COM
bats with United States troopers sent to
quell their many uprisings in the years fol-
loving the Civil War.
It's natural to assume that the Indians
always had horses. but such is not the case,
The Indian got his first horses from the
white men, for at the time of the discovery
sof America this continent was horseless,
and all the horses which exist here today
are descendants of animals brought over by
Europeans
Going back to the Ice Age, however,
fossil remains show that many horses roam
ed over both North and South America. Ia
size and appearance they were very much
like the ordinary horses of the present.
How they came to disappear centuries ago
Is an unexplained mystery.
Going back still farther, remains of
many varieties of primitive horses have
been found, some not larger than shep-
herd dog, with three and even four toes.
The earliest Of little horses had five toes,
but no remains of these have been foand
on this continent SO far, although many
have been discovered in the eastern henri
sphere.
The earliest horses were no larger
thar fox. and the eyes Of some of these
early breeds we're set far down on the
head. midway between the ears and the
nose.
The magnificent Pereherons of the
present are descendants of the lowly five
toed critters Of the past But ii they
could talk they would perhaps decline to
admit IT,

THE BOND ELECTION

Aftee arious explanations, which
turned out to be wrong, regarding the
bond election to be held on September Is,
tanned about the number of freeholders
that MUST vote to make the election
legal.
The Citizen, in common with hum
dreds of Key Westers, including at least
one lawyer, was under a misrepresentation
regarding the majority of votes that must
be cast to approve the proposed bonds.
We We're informed that the majority must
be of all freeholders in the county, but
such is not the case. Here is the correct
information on that point:
Using the same basic figure Of 1000
that The itizen used before, sol votes
must be cast to approve the bonds, but the
difference is this: all those votes need not
be in favor of issuing the bonds.
Briefly, assuming that there are 1000
freeholders in Monroe county, at least sol
OF them must participate in the election to
make it valid, and majority of that sol
must be cast in favor of the bonds to adopt
them.
But if only 500 votes are cast, and the
entire 500 favor the bonds, the election is
lost because majority of freeholders did
not go to the polls
A majority must vote, sol or more,
and majority of that majority, 251 or
more, must favor the bonds to make the
election a success.
Scores of Key Westers have already
volunteered to take part in the campaign
that will be waged to see to it that far
more than majority of freeholders go to
the polls, feeling assured that if majority
votes there will be prepondering ma
jority of the first majority that will favor
the bonds. Indeed, The Citizen is unable
to determine how a single resident of
Monroe county, unless he is against the
county's interests, can vote against the is
suing of the bonds.
F'reeholders should bear i'll mind that
the issuing of bonds will not increase taxa
ton one cent; will not be lien on any
real estate in the county except the right
of way for the proposed bridges, and that
the payment of interest on the bonds and
the eventual liquidation of them are
guaranteed solely from tolls and other
revenue that may be derived from the
operation of the bridges.
Finally, let US all join in the move
ment to get out every possible voter to
participate in the election to be held on
September H.
