They tell us that some of the farm ers of the county after receiving their tax receipts leave the' county treas urer's office with tears in their eyes be cause the tax is so heavy they can hardly pay the bill. Yet this same county treasurer and his wife are very busy trying with might and main to get those same farmers to vote for the league candidates so that next year they can pay still more. How long are these farmers going to let them put this over on them. Voters, particularly those who have had very little experience in voting for initiated laws and amendments, should study the ballot on these pro positions before they vote. In order to furnish some enlightenment on the subject the Times-Record has been publishing the list of initiated laws and amendments from time to time and they will appear again in this pa per before election. Clip them from the paper and sit down, and read them over and then when you get ready to vote you will have an intelligent idea of what you are voting for.

Mr. Johnson's address was free from any mud slinging but for an hour and a half he reviewed the work of the pres ent state administration and its wofeful lack of business acumen and strongly arraigned them for lack of business ability. He contended that if they were re-elected it would mean till fur ther losses of many thousands of dol lars to the tax payers and pleaded with the voters to elect men to office who would keep open books so that any tax payer could tell just what was going on, in preference to the "blinds drawn" policy being pursued by the present state administration.

Miss Lillian Eubank of the Chicago Opera Company was the artist. Miss Eubank was in fine form and gave a varied program of most inter esting numbers. She opened her pro gram with the Aria from the "Queen of Sheba," which she did in fine style and with wonderful color. She seemed to know and feel just what she desir ed, and with ease, understanding, and grace she pleased from the first. Her gi'oups of different styles of songs were given with finish and proven abil ity.
