now Is the republicans are in the
majority In the Executive Council
the body that can cut down ex-
penses or spend all the money APP
propriated and borrow more, and
naturally the republicans will not
object as 1t will by them be charg-
ed to the Farmer-Labor administra-
ton. The Governor Is the chairman
OF this Council and the chairman is
usually held responsible for the act
OF the body, same as Volstead was
for the prohibition law because he
was chairman of the committee
that handled the matter. 1t does
not make any difference what par
ty the State Treasurer or Secre-
tary of State belongs to as long as
they only perform their Constitu-
tional duties, but when they have
the say about all state doings 1t Is
different and 1t Is very important
to elect a Farmer-Labor Secretary
of State and State Treasurer, at
least, If the Governor wants to
spend money unnecessarily, 1t can
not be charged to the Republicans.
Another thing the people seem to
be worried about is the Amend
ment No. two to be voted on. The
object of this amendment, we are
told, Is to eliminate all state taxes
on property, but the real object Is
to shift the taxes to other sources,
as for instance, a sales tax and
tax land and other property for
local purposes only.
The state tax in Todd county for
the current year is $S0,097.O0 and
we have received from the state
$156, $500 on the same tax in st.
Louis county Is $2,S19, $1,000 and the
county gets $44,229.00 from the
state. Do you wonder why the Steel
Trust is fighting for this amend
ment? It is only for its own inter-
ests and just what the people of
Todd and Stearns county will do by
voting no on this amendment
There is also Steel Trust joker in
No. 1 and this, too,
should be rejected, but this is a
minor matter.
Next in Importance is the Legis-
ature. We know what we have got
and believe Mr.. Dixon will do bet
'er than he did in his first term:
and the same holds true Of Fred
Lux and John Kinzert, of Stearns
county; he may not be all we want
'ut we might get worse deals by
changing.
AS to County candidates there is
lothing to be said except that I
lave had considerable dealings
With all of them and with officers
n other counties and can say as to
Ill of them we have the best there
8 and when we know what we
lave and are satisfied what is the

desire to mention a few obser-
vations and make a few remarks
relative to the approaching cleo.
ton.
Usually people are all taken up
with the election of a President,
this however, is in my opinion out
OF the question in this election as II
appears that President Roosevelt
Will be elected even If he does not
get one vote in Minnesota. However,
IN the condition we are in, we
should carry the state for him, If
for no other purpose, it win insure
the safety of our banks. The Gov
eminent Bank Guaranty Law ex-
pires July LIST next and with a re-
publican president it will be a fine
way to put the President in the
hole same as the republicans did
vote for the Soldiers bonus, to har-
ass the president. Yes and checking
up the vote doubt If the bill could
have been passed if the President
had asked for it and it Is a safe
bet that If he had he would not
have been nominated. Furthermore.
we will elect a Farmer-Labor u. s.
Senator, Ernest Lundeen, and A. 0.
Devoid, Senator for the short term,
and Elmer A. Benson, Governor of
this State, there is no doubt and If
we can and we should, elect FL
Congressman in all of the nine dis
tricts, with that we should elect all
the Farmer-Labor State Candidates
If for no other reason than to have
a solid front when we have to ask
for outside help which we must do
at least the next year, and so that
they can not pass the buck" as it

Project No. 583---Construction OF School
For Colored Children AT Rock Run,

Sidewalk Improvement

This project was submitted by the
Cecil County Board of Education and
provides for the erection of three
room grade school, to be built of
Port Deposit granite, for colored
children in the vicinity of Port De-
post. This new building is being
constructed to replace the existing
frame school building built about 40
years ago, which is inadquate for
present day standards. The front
door of the present school building
is but five feet from the state high
way, which the children use for a
playground, this constituting an &C
cident hazard which is greatly in
need of elimination. On both sides
of the building used, adjoining prop
critics form barrier and prevent
light, air and the degree of privacy
needed for a school.

The preliminary work of grading
and excavating has progressed on
this project to the extent that mason
ry work will be started about the
middle of November.
The principal items of construction
in connection with this improvement
are clearing and grubbing site, which
consists of 6 acres; grading and sur
facing 700 TT. of road to school site;
excavation to the extent of 1000 Gu.
yds. for basement of school; grading
and shaping three acres of play
ground area, and the drilling Of an
artesian we'll needed in connection
with the required sanitary convent
ences.
The total cost of the project Is es-
timated to be 15,726.O9 of which
$10,780.00 is out of Federal funds
and $4,946.00 is the Board of Edu-
cations share of the cost.

This project was submitted by the
Town Commissioners of Rising Sun
and provides for the installation of
sanitary sewer system and disposal
plant at Rising Sun, Maryland.
Heretofore the town had no public
sanitary sewer system, all sewage
being disposed of by privately owned
septic tanks or cess pools. The State
Board of Health found that there
was a potential health menace exist
ing in the town, due to the frequent
overlooking of cess pools, and order
ed the Town Commissioners to take
the necessary steps to eliminate these
undesirable conditions in the inter-
est of public health. Through the
cooperation of Town Commissioners,
The Works Progress Administration
and the State Board of Health pro-
ject for the construction of modern
and complete sewage system was ap-
proved by the Works Progress Ad-
ministration on September "a, 1885,
and work was started on November
%, 1895. The work at this time is
about 800 complete.
The system has been in operation
TO rsome weeks, and properties are
