August 5 Election
Next Thursday, August I,, is, the
data for the regular Auguet electton
tbrooat the stste At' that time will
be elected in every county a Trustee,
'Sheriff, a Tax Alienor, five members
of the County Board of Education,
three Advisory Directore in each dis
trict and all constable! in the etate.
Id addition to these, a direct repre-
sentstive for Fsvette county will be
elected, under a pedal election order
made by the County Election Cummin
toners last Monday, on proclamation of
the Governor. Thia special election
waa made necesssry by the death of
Hon. D. C. Weill lome months ago,
ani the further fact that the Governor
tias decided to call a special session of
. the State Legislature to meet on Aug
ust 9 to pais on the National Suffrage
Amendment and other nutters which
he deems sufficiently important to in
clude lu the call for the session.
In this special election there sre two
candidates aonounced to fi l the unex
pired term of Mr, WellH. They are
H. P. Crawford of Williston and K. N.
Ware of Moscow.
Ia the regular county election, T. M.
Ross for Sheriff. J. T. Jordan for
Trustee, and S. P. Crawford for Tax
Assessor, are the Democratic nominees
and have no opposition in the coming
rcKular election.
Up to Motidiy night when the time
for qualifying ended, Wyatt Wfikinion
- wit the vniy candidate to have bis
x name placed on the official bal'ot for
member of the County Board ot Edu
cation from the First School District,
composed or Uistncts l, 8 and 15, and
is without oppesition. In the Second
JSchotl District, compost d of 2, 3 and 4,
no one had bia name pliced on tbe
official, ballot lor use in the Fourth
District, tbe only precinct using an
official ballot, and J. C, Perry, present
incumbent is tbe only candidate Tbe
Falcon has heard of, la tn other die
trictf, it is not ktiowa at this time who
is running for membership on thia
board, or whether present incumbents
are candidates.
No candidates for Constables or Ad
visory members are known at thia
time, but as they do not have to have
their names on an cffidal ballot except
in Districts 1, 4 and 8, they raa annouce
t any date prior to the election and
use the regular 3x7 ticket. Or in pre
cinct using tbe official ballot names
may be writ t.'u in where there is no
candidate, and marked juat as if the
name were printed on tbe ballot.
On the same date the aame fficere
who hold the regular election will hold
a Democratic Primary Electicn in a
a different box, in which primary can
oidates for GoverLOr, Railroad Com
miasioner and Stite Committtmen will
be voted for.
There sre four candidaies for Gov
ernor in thi Prlmsrv: A. H. Robertr,
present Governor, Jm. R. Neal, W, R
Crabtree, and E.L. Wirt. For Rail
road Commissioner there are two cand
idatei: Geo. N.. Welch, present in
cumbent and H. K. Bryson. For
members ot the Slate Committee from
(he tenth district there are live candi
dates, witn two to be chosen; Mrs
Elmer Houk, 0. I. Cruger, John D.
Martin, C A. Miller and C. A. Stain
back. - And in each district a member
of the County Executive Committee is
to be voted for, no names on the official
Primary Ballot for these places-
There has been very little interest
manifastvd in tbe election, aitho it has
mora varied angles tbat concern people
locally than most any of the other
elections, &. rar aa appcarancea go
there has been no oraaixiUoo in the
county for any candidate aad mr work
haa beaa dooe for uy one, it being a
foregone cencluioii, of course thai the
rtomintet for county tfficea will be
lected without opposition.
Lots of Appetite
. Aa a general rule there ia nothing
serious a boot a loss of appetite, and if
jvu skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for a few days you wMI soon have
a relish for your steels when meal time
comes. Bear in Bind that at least
five hoars should slwsys elspse be
tween meals so as to give tbe food am
ple time to digest and the s torn sen a
period of reat before a second meal is
is taken Then if you eat no more than
you crave and take a reasonable amount
of outdoor exercise every day you will
not need to worry about vour appe
tite. When the loss of appetite is
eaueed by constipation as is often
the ease, that should be corrected at
once. A doee of Charberlain'a Tsb
let'a will do it. adv

To Election Officers
t or information of thoae who were
appointed recently by the Election
Commissioners to serve ss officers, jud
ges and clerks in tho election on Aug
ust 6, The Falcon cat's attention to the
new law governing such service.
It appears that thruout the atate for
years good men have ref rained from
election service and refused to serve so
officer, judges and clerks, to such ss
extent thst many precincts have been
unable to hold elections at all time after
time. The legislators seeing this con
dition enacted a compulsory law, mak
ing it unlawful for any citizen named
as an officer, judge or clerk In a regu
lar or legal primary election to refuse
to serve, snd it thereby becomee tbe
duty of every man appointed for such
service to serve. And every one ap
pointed who ref usee or fails ta serre is
subject to punishment juit as a citizen
who would refuse or fail to terve as a
juror when named for tbat post. We
are calling attention to this simply for
tbe informstion of those that might
think they were too busy to serve or
wbo felt thst other business was more
important for them.
Every man appointed in either the
regular election or the primary is sub
ject to indictment by tbe grsnd jury
if be fsils or refuses to serve as ap
oointed. A Texas Wonder.

The 1920 Tax Valuations
In anoter column of this issue we are
publishing a table which shows the tsx
siues, fixed by the County Board of
Equalization which recently sat in th
county. The table ia complete just aa
it waa forwardod to the State Board of
Equalizers by County Court Clerk
C. W. Crawfcrl. With it we are pub
lishing, also, the values bj districts of
last year's assessment, so that the cit
izens can see exsctly what waa done
for them under tbe new tax laws.
A comparison of the final figures fixed
by the County Equalizers with the fig
ures fixed by the State's Statisticians
who were here last fall ahowa thst thj
raiues nxeo oy rnu ataustioans were
I n . i . . ...
followed almost exictly by tue County
Aasexsrr and his uitat.tJ in fixing
the values, uuii itie County Equalizera
cut a hair mill, on dollars from these
figures. AImuii one half this cut came
in toe tnuuetun dint rut where the
assessor figures were reduced by the
County Board $217,360.
(eductions were made in nine dis
tricts, 3. 4. 7, 8, 10, 11, 12. 13. and 14
and lucreuses Mere mde in L 2, 5, 6,
9, and 15, aix districts. The eighth
district shows toe largest DeTsonaltv
assessment of ail tbe districts, wite
and 13 next in order and 9 the smallest
personalty assessment. The eigth
shows, also, the largest land vslue.
who 4 a ciose second, while 2 shows
the smallest realty assessment. Eleven
districts show a total valuation each of
more than a million dollars.
Tbe total valuation of all property this
year is S16.849.191. almost four times
ast years assessment whicb was $4,442,
860, neither of these figueres including
the railroads, telephones and telegraphs
Ihese last named were asaesssed last
year $1,343,664, and as the Stats Rail
road Commiasion which fixes toe valua
tion on them is made tbe State Board
of Equalizers under tbe new lew, there
can be but little hope of their increasing
their assessment materially, and cer
tainly there is no hope of increasing it
w iwu tiuica ia)B jraar valuation.
Fayette county paid $31,096 in state
taxes last year on valuation of
her real and personal property,
with railroads, etc. not counted, At 70
cents on each $100, If tbe state rate
ia .25 on each S100 this ytar this county
will $42,123 stste taxes on her reel snd
personal property now assessed at $16,
849.191. This is an increaae of $11,000
over laat yeai.
The county's total school tsx laat
year including high school, wss $34,
838.37. The county court at its April
term without a discerning vote adopted
a resolution promising an increase of
331 in the county school fund. This
will add one third of the above sum.
$11,629, making a total county school
fund of $46,517. Which will necessitste
a total common school and high school
rste of 24 cents, when the poll tsx of
a little over $6000 is taken from the
$46,000 total.
All county funda must be incressed
in a ratio not far from the increase in
school fund in order to meet the county's
exoenses. When tbeie Increases in the
tsx money are counted, it will be seen
very readily tbat tbe county rate can
not be much less than 75 cents on each
$100 if the county is to meetjts running
expenses. With the state rate of 25
centa on each $100 added to this, it can
not be seen how the total rate will bj
much under $1 00 on each $100 of valu
ations, if the n cessary money is to be
raised to meet the county need.
aay. counties have already, fixed
their1 rates at $1.00 per $100 and' aWve
that figure, but no county tbat baa fix'
ed its 1920 tax rate haa yet fixed a fig
ure bokw'tl.00,per$100, afcd' anyone
maklag-a caietriatioa of past taxes' and
pf the-new- valuationa and- comparing
closely can but see thst the rate most
be around that figure.
