This few are always willing to talk about getting up soms scheme to cause a boom so they could make two or three hundred dollars on every dollar invested. This is all right enough; we leve to ee men prosper. 3ut when tha time csrxa that somo money had to be raised to carry out tbsir schemes they would weaken and their schemes would fall through. don't believe there i a man in the Lodge that will differ with us in this.

As we have said before, all their schemes to get a beom have so far failed, but dw they have become so anxious to lat go of their 6x10 lots, as it has commenced to burn, that they ara willing to do most anything to create an excitement so they can sell, and it makes no difference bow dirty low th scheme is.

And ia o. dar to convince the voters of the county that it is to their interest to vote the bnds yeu an5 teld fehat it will give js fsrtv miles of railroad for taxation. Kow let ns see what the $15,000 bonds have done for Medicine Lodge township.

She has the road i tax. Real estate is assessed at doubl what it was in 188-5, and yet thay pay tha same or a little higher rate thaa they did before. In other words, a mat who paid before $100 tax now pays 5200 with all benefits of railroad tax. Xow let us examine the affect af aur own Lake City township. We are paying intsrest on $4,500 school house bonds and they have raised our taxes from $2 to $7 an the quarter section.

Suppose we vote th; bonds. Our proportion would be about $20,000, there being six townships in the tha county. Now is it not clsar that at ths same ratio our taxes would be increased from to $20 more on tha quartar saction. Any F-chool boy 10 yaara old will tell that if $4,500 has increased our tax from $2 to $7, $20,000 and something weald give vis an additional increase of from $8 to $20 which would virtually bankrupt the county. We respectfully a3k tha other tawnships to give the result of ths bonds in their respective districts, and to rise up as one man to throttla intrigue and corruption.

Do not ba duped, fellow voters, by such both as this, "that every railrotd tax receipt is a certificate of stack in the railroad com any for which tha Vonds were vated. There are men ordinary intelligence on general matters, and of ripa mature years, who go about preaching and pretending to believe such itufl. We are not opposed to railroads and other internal improvements, but we ara apposed to people building roads for the special benefit of a certain town or towns, and thi is the aim and and of the proposed bonds.
