Hear Myers and Tyndall at the court room in this city Tuesday evening. They will discuss the issues of the day and every voter should desire to post himself. Taxes, tariff, boards and commission—plenty to talk about. Hear Walter Myers at the court room next Tuesday evening. He will discuss the political issues of the campaign from a democratic view. Men women voters should be interested. If you are convinced that lower wages and higher taxes are the proper steps toward happiness and normalcy you are sure a partisan and there is no need to try to change you. Honestly, we don’t believe you believe it and we can’t believe you •will hesitate as to how you should vote this year. Preble township paid $4,808.30 in state taxes for the year 1918 and this year ft costs them $8,281.76. These are official figures. Can you doubt, then, that it is costing you dearly to stand for the bunk of the republican orators' Remember that in addition you are paying more local taxes, because the law makes it possible and unavoidable. Political arguments often confuse the voters before election day, but this you will know when you pay your taxes between now and November 6th —that they are higher. Y’ou vote November 7th and the democrats are

pledged to reduce your taxes and to repeal the present inefficient law that works badly for you. That ought to be sufficient argument to convince you. without any other statements. John Tyndall was born and raised in Adams county and has spent his life here. He has held public office and has an unimpeachable record. He has conducted business in a clean and honest manner. He is an upright citizen, capable and desirous of really rendering you a service. If he is sent to congress you w r ill be proud of his record and will benefit for he will vote and work to your interest. He should receive the solid vote of this county, for he is the kind of a man we should send to represent the district. The Adams County Witness Is the only paper in the district defending Mr. Vestal. The other republican papers are wise enough to not say anything about his record, which seems to have consisted mainly in securing a addition of several clerks on the

t dH. L W* V

payroll. Vestal baa been in congress six years, long enough to make some kind of showing it seems. Can you think of anything he has done, except send out a few garden seeds and answer a little correspondence? A large part of the extra money you pay in taxes goes to the state highway commission and they are spending it freely, building concrete roads around Indianapolis and in the south part of the state for which you are paying. In this county it costs $1,421 per mile to maintain the state road, while the other roads are limited to $l6O per mile. We all want good roads and in this county we have them, but there is no reason in the wide world why we should pay such extravagant prices for repairs or why we should build our own roads and the other fellow's also. The people of Indiana this year paid sixty million dollars more in taxes than during the last year of the Ralston administration. The increased rate and cost includes every county in the state and is undeniably due to the new law which permits it. The democrats stand for the repeal of the law and they are opposed to many of the useless boards and commissions. George Saunders, if elected to the senate, and Thurman Gottschalk, if elected to the house, will both vote for these changes, which' will greatly benefit you. It seems to us there should be no question as to how you will vote on November 7th.

Beveridge told his audience at Portland that he wanted to go to Washington to assist Harding in reducing taxes. That is good, after Harding had just signed a tariff bill that will burden the people of the United States to the extent of billions of dollars annually by the increased cost of everything they have to buy. It is pronounced the most vicious tariff law ever enacted in this country, and republican newspapers denounce It on that ground. A tariff law is intended to do one thing, and that is to give American manufacturers* a monopoly in the manufacture and sale of goods. —Columbia City Post. For several weeks the city of Bloomington, where the state university is located, has been having a difficult time to furnish water. Baths have been permitted but once a week and then the citizens were requested to use as little water as possible. Yesterday the water plant was shut down and it will be weeks before a supply of water can be furnished, it is announced. This is not the first time this serious difficulty has arisen and it looks as though it's up to that city right now to do something to avoid a recurrence or the next session of the legislature should plan to place the university wherS a sufficient supply of good, pure water is available. o ** + + + + + ****** + + + DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS + b*+♦++++ + **♦ + * + Friday, Oct. 29. —Monroe—John W.
