CONTINUED IN NEXT ISSUE,
Hated October 9, 1902.
In our issue of Hept. 18th we said:
"We have been informed by one of
the assessors that at the triennial as
sessment, all the assessors of the
county met at Laporte, and at the
request of the commissioners, assem
bled in the Grand Jury room to tix a
valuation on the unseated Jands.
They agreed unanimously to assess
the stripped lands at two dollars per
acre and the timbered lands at twen
ty dollars per acre, and reported this
agreement b> the Commissioners
who seemed well satisfied with it.
Afterwards the Commissioners re
duced the valuation on the timbered
lands to twelve dollars per acre.."
Two weeks have passed and this
statement lias not been contradicted.
It is true. Every well informed
man knows that the assessors were
right and the Commissioners were
wrong. Twenty dollars per acre
was a low valuation for timber lands.
Why is it that rich corporations are
thus favored to the injury of small
farmers? When the tax payers have
the power in their hands, at the
next election, they will do well not
to elect tools of the Union Tanning
Co. to any office. Which is strong
est, the Tanning Co. or the people?
"I believe it proper for every one
elected to a place of trust to exercise
his own ideas of duty after having
counciled with all parties interest
ed."—Roger's Convention Speeth:
By this are we to understand that
on the Franchise bill (which Scouten
says was the most villianous legisla
tion ever passed in this country) Mr.
Rogers deemed it his duty to consult
those interested before canting bis
vote? What party in interest did he
consult after voting for the amend
ment to kill the bill and what were
the arguments used to make him
vote against all other amendments
and for the bill on final passage?
We ask the voters of Sullivan
county whether they propose to elect
a limn whoae record on a corporation
bill is, that first he was opposed to
it and then leaving the Legislative
Hall for a few minutes changed his
mind and give his vote along with
Corporate interests. If he did this
once would he not do it ngnin? Can
be be trusted? Let honest Demo
crats and Republicans answer this
by voting for Albert L. Dyer.
