Breiner IT'S UP TO THE VOTERS NOW: — The questions of the hour have been presented to the voters of this republic, the evidence has been heard, the issues are complete and the closing arguments made. The voters of America are the members of the jury who will render their verdict tomorrow. If you favor peace, progress and prosperity, you will vote for Governor Cox and the democratic ticket, if you wish the old methods of den.o by wars, retardment and norcalcy, you will vote for Senator ' ling. Your decision will be final and you will have no recourse but to stand for the results. In this state and county if you wish higher taxes, lower prices for farm products, less wages, vote the republican ticket but if you believe a new tax law that will be just and fair should be enacted. if you want a better condition for every one concerned. vote for Taggart. McCulloch and th other democrats on the ticket. The democrats have proven faithful while tlie republicans have excell-

ied only in dodgli g real Issues and playing upon your sympathies. The democrats have made an honest effort to present their ideas to you and future pages of history will show you the right of their position. It s up to you. The issues are important. Your comfort and happiness and protection are involved. Vote the democratic ticket, and be ‘ happy. It ought to be easy for the average i tux payer to figure out the cause of 1 the exorbitant taxes now being chargi ed in every county in Indiana. IT'S THE NEW TAX LAW MADE FOR The benefit of a few. how , does It work? Here is an example, in Washington township Including Decatur the old valuation was about $3,000,000. The new valuation is about $10,000,000. The constitutional limit for road bonds was four per cent and that was not (hanged. Undei the old law we could only have a road debt of $120,000 while under the new valuation that is swelled to ;< 'iio.OOO. Under the law tifty petitioners etin force the building of a road unless stopped by a renton- : trance, a long and wearisome procecdure not often resorted to. What's the result? We will be bond ) ed to the limit, more than three. Himes as much and taxes must be levied to take care of these bonds. Add to this the two per cent for other improvements and you will easily i id that the taxes within a few years will be so staggering that it means nkruptcy. Right now is the time ( to check this wild taxing orgy and he way to do it is to VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET TOMOR ! ROW. The sacrilgious cartoon published ! in a recent issue of Harper's Weekly, ' "take-'. ff 4, on the great religious pic;i:re Raphael’s Immaculate Conception. has caused a storm of criticism I from people of every creed, through . out the United States. Is it simply a coincident that similar tactics were used six years ago, when Warren G. ' -Harding conducted his campaign in, Ohio against Timothy Hogan for the ) United States senate? Up to the present time, neither Senator Harding or the head of the republican part' or any one connected with them, has offered an apology or explanation of the circulation of the) teurilous cartoon and its footnote. The Berm- Witness says the attack n the tax law is unjust. Guess you ' I can’t beat that. If any attack on a law which its makers promised would not increase taxes and which has , doubled, trippled or .more the taxes 1 - I nearly every citizen in the state Tan be unjust, we want to know what it in. The tax law is the greatest 1 ‘ robber” ever put- on the statute 1 books. It not only boosts the state tax but it makes possible local taxes 1 that no officer can avoid fixing. , It you don't kick the tax law out of In- ' diana tomorrow, you ought to see a specialist for there is something, 1 wrong. • It’s all over but the voting and shouting. If tomorrow is a fair day.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1. H>2o.

the vote will be tremendous for there is great interest and besides it should be remembered that the rights | given the women of tills country to cast their ballots will practically double the vote. Returns will no' doubt be late and it may be several I 'days before the complete returns can be given but the Daily Democrat will) make every effort to get the news to' you us speedily as possible. We have; arranged for both telegraph and telephone service and as in past years will keep right up to the minute with the news, local, state and national. Eleventh hour circulars purporting io come from reliable sources have been circulated by the republicans during the past day or two, a fitting close to the underhanded campaign made by them to appeal to the prejudices of the voters rather than .m honest discussion of the issues, iCitizens are warned to consider these 1 last day letters and circulars carefully and to remember that it is all done to ensnare them in the political nap. You will pay dearly for any confidence reposed in those who have broken faith with you'as has the reitiblican state officials of Indiana during the past four'years. Dick Boch is an efficient engineer nd a worthy young man; Martin Jaberg knows the auditor's office and : .vill conduct it in a manner that will please you; Fred Studler is a clean.) ; honest, upright and worthy business nan who is fitted for the office oi ountv treasurer; Sephus Meichi has nade'a clean record as sheriff and i deserves his second two year term;) : onrad and Breiner are honest men i who will do their very best to serve he county; Gottschalk. Lenhart. 1 Vlattax and McConnell are deserving | >f your support. If yen want efli-, n-iency in public office. VOTE THE ) DEMOCRATIC TICKET. Too much power in the hands of j the representative of the United] .’dates in the council of the league was one of the reasons why Senator Watson gave for his opposition. He ’ knows better than any one here ) snows that after our representative gets through on that council, his re-1 port must have the approval of the United States congress. We give 1 ;way none of our rights as provided l-y the constitution. Even Jim with i ll his wisdom and his power of oratory cannot reasonably oppose the league covenant. Count Von Bernstorff, who was ambassador to America, in an article published last week in the Literary Digest and other magazines, pleads for the Americans of German descent to vote for the league of nations. He says: “The friends of Germany in the States (America) must g?et into the League of Nations without delay or i ll hope for Germany from the staggering demands of the Entente I England. Italy, France and Belgium) is lost. America is our only hope, and I the League of Nations alone can ■ave us.” Senator Watson did not explain I how or why he put Ora Davies, the Howard county treasurer on the reI publican state ticket. He should 1 have done so in fairness to the Ad urns county republican organ which advises you to vote against him. Well if you vote against poor old Ora why not vote against the man who put him on the ticket? It’s usually the higher ups who ought to be punished. Statements that the figures printed in this paper containing the tax law were not correct are untrue. The figures were taken from the tax duplicates and were exact. You will 11 know when you pay your installment ) next May that all we have said about, the tax law is more than true and if you don’t want to keep it up four years, elect Dr. McCulloch and the democratic county ticket. LEST. YOU FORGET — Adams' 1 ) COUNTY MUST SEND MORE THAN 'sloo,ooo TO INDIANAPOLIS NEXT i YEAR. WE SEND MORE THAN IWE KEEP FOR GENERAL PURI POSES IN THE COUNTY. WE I LOSE THE AUTOMOBILE TAXES. .VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET'

TOMORROW AND STOP THIS HIGHWAY STUFF. If President Wilson had the power , to contract for Cuban sugar, do you suppose he would have made the great effort he did to get permission lof congress, Senator Wateon knows ) better but be is the king of all the | political dust throwers in America land is working over time now in the) ' profession in which he shines. Senator James Eli Watson, like a lot of other Apolitical speakers of the campaign is mad because we didn t tire our last round of ammunition before we permitted the war to end. Well so are the munition and gun makers. DON’T FORGET THAT THE NEW TAX LAW HAS JUST GOT A FAIR START AND THAT NEXT YEAR YOUR TAXES WILL BE DOUBLED OR MORE. WHAT WILL IT BE IF PERMITTED TO GO ON FOUR YEARS. A vote for Tom Taggart is a vote for a high class business man who will see that millions are saved to the tax payers of this nation if you send him down to fill Watson's sea; in the senate. This was the last day to pay your taxes. Tomorrow you vote. Remem- ) her that next year they will be as much more in most cases and in some even more. r _ Is The Last Day (Continued from page one) wa- paid to the treasurer.

The bad weather of the past weel. as a great help to the treasurer. It .vas too wet for the farmers to work, and of course many of them were it , the city one day or another and it w: | a convenient matter to drop in ano .-ettlo with the county. Otherwise Saturday and today would have beer. ) unusually big days at the office.
