Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 October 1900 — COMMUNICATED. [ARTICLE]

COMMUNICATED.

Want No Outside Interference In This Batter. Mr. Gifford’s attorney, signing himself Wairen Robinson, ip a lengthy communication in last week’s Democrat, said; “Mr. Gifford was approached numerous times and assured by representative citizens that the people would gladly aid him if he would consent to bring his road to Rensselaer.” From this communication any one can see that it is Rensselaer that is fighting our people for this tax. “If he would consent to bring his road to Rensselaer,” says higj attorney. * Barkley township was not called on for a tax until Mr. Gifford “consented to representative citizens.” These “representative citizens” were interested in Rensselaer and want in to pull Barkley township’s leg for their own town. It is not our interest, these “representative citizens” are looking after. Mr. Gifford had his road half way across Barkley township before “representative citizens” thought of aiding him or were any ways interested in his road, but just as soon as he “consents” and heads towards town “representative citizens” want to tax everything in sight.. Now, if the people of Rensselaer and Marion township want to build Mr. Gifford a railroad that is their business, not ours. If Barkley wants to help, that is our business. If we do not want to help, that is our business also. Rensselaer people are meddling with our business. Had they kept out of this matter we would never have had this second election. I think there are some people in Rensselaer not all who would like to abolish all township lines in this county and just let their town be the whole thing —“It” Barkleyite.
