the most noteworthy example of which
u that the session Justed two days la
rlaco of the usual four or five.
Retrenchment is surely ths order ot
the day, and it must begin at the court
house, and in the supervisors room.
The proposed retrenchments are good
as far as they go. but they do not be
gin in the right place, or go far enough.
If the supervisors. In place of this
ingenious but thinly disguised plan of
trying to circumvent the popular "will,
had adopted a plan something as here
after outlined, they would have struck
a chord that would ' have awakened
generous response In public sentiment;
and it is not yet too late.
If we are going to appeal to the leg
islature, there is one thing the sta'e
law ought to provide very plainly, that
whenever a special tax or bonded In
debtedness is submitted to popular
vote, it must, to be approved, receive
an affirmative vote equal to a majority
of all the votes at that election if
regular state election, or if at a special
election, judicial, municipal or town-j
ship election, then a vote equal to a(
majority of the vote cast at the last
liccrs. The object Is to prevent a
minority of the voters .from fastening
upon the people a heavy tax or debt,
as has happened already in this
county.
It would also be simply just to allow
only actual taxpayers to vote on such
questions, but this is impracticable.

RECORD OF COURT HOUSE
J. G. Osborn on the County Tax
Port Byron, May C. Editor Tli- Ar- a financial policy contrary to the will

special county tax at the Jim? judicial with a vengeance; it is usurpation
election deserves a little notiee. It.-? pure and simple, something absolutely
promoters evidently remember the opposed to the American idea of popu-
complete disapproval of anv special
tax registered by th; voters at th two
last general elections. Thy eviiientl;,
hope at thU unimportant election,
where haidlv one-tenth of t!r voters
participate, that the proposition may
somehow pull through.
I do not wish 10 ui' unjust u: the
honorable gentlemen compos. u ; the
county board. But it is impossible to
resist the conviction that, the; are
more anxious to get the money tlia.i t..
conform to the plainly expressed w:Ii
of the people. The people have m st
plainly condemned the methods i f
managing county affairs 'hat have
been in vogue, lo these many years;
and have reeorded their vcu'.iet in
perhaps the most effectual tnt'tiner by
shutting off th? supply of ftci. 1 he.
people evidently believe that thv?
county board will continue as it has
been doing to spend ;sii the money ir
can get hold of. anil all it can hot row.
The promoters of this- plan evidently
hope that a comparatively small num
ber of voters may be able lo establish
tar government.
If thb proposition shall be carried
our. and the special tax question plac
ed on the judicial ballot, I earnestly
hepe that every farmer in the county,
and many others also, but my appeal
is to the fanners first of all for I am
one of them, will attend the judicial
election at whatever personal imoi
venience and if he is short of time he
don't need to mark the candidates :r
judges, lutt just mark the "no" on the
special tnx question. That will show
just where he stands.
The fact appears- to be that the peo
ple have lost confidence in the count v
hoard and in the county officers. This
fact is not conttadicted by the further
fact that the same old crowd is re
elected right, along. It is a curious
situation which should bt interesting
to students of political and social
science.
To regain some of this 'ost confi
dence, and thus strengthen its position
with the people, (he board has com
