Immhmi Tw Treaswrere,
An attorney of this eltjr nae ealled the
attention of the Onn to a very Import
Mt amendment to the Revenge Lawn of
the BUte made' at the last session of the
Legislature, Under the law prior to this
aatendment the office of tewtshlp treas
urer wm one of very little importance; nil
der the law an amended It in, we should
say, the noat Important In the township.
Ah the law now stands the County Clerk
must deliver a duplicate tax Hat with a
warrant attached thereto to each town
treasarsrf and alio n proper receipt book.
Krery town treasurer npon receiving the
daplloate tax list, warrant, and receipt
book mist proceed nt once to collect all
taxes levied and assessed In his township
except taxes leviod and assessed against
telegraph and rallrord property and that
levied against non-residents of his town
ehip . He must call at least once on evert
person taxed or at his place of bnsiness
or rosidonco and demand payment of the
taxed charged to said portion. At the
end of every thirty days ho makes n state
ment of the amount of taxed he has col
lected and turns over to the county
treaHurer the sums whioh that
official is ontltled to receive, but
the . township, village, city and
achool taxes he duos not pay over to
the county treasnror at all. That is paid
to tho various township, village and school
district treasurers whenevor it is demand
ed by them.
Tho most swooning provision of the
new lnw,howover Is this: The townnhip
t'tiMurer makes returns to the county
clerk on tho 1st day of rloptomher in seen
year, or within ten days thereafter, and
on to tho timo tho town treasurer makes
lits i eturn the county treasurer is abso
lutely prohibited from collecting or re
ceiving any taxes whatever, oxcopt the
taxes of non-residents of tho township
city or village, and probably the taxes as
xi'ssed against railroad and telegraph
property . Thus It will be seen that from
the 1st day of January to the 1st day of
the following Hsptember the townnhip
treasurer Is tho only party who can legal
ly collect taxes except that small portion
levied against non-residents and railroad
and telegraph companies, l'oopje will
thus bo enabled to pay their taxen to their
town treasnror instead of coming er send
ing to the county treasurer as heretofore,
and the taxes collected in eaoh township.
city village and school ulatrlot remain In
the treasury of said township city or
sohool district instead of coming to the
county treasurer as heretofore. The treas
urer Is allowed three per cent on all taxes
collected, except sohool taxes for which
the fee is ono per cent. There are certain
ly great advantages in this system for the
several townships and the Chief hopes to
see the uow law put iu force nt ouoe in
this county.
,TIo Dvmonrntsof Webster county are
in trouble. tfasMor has nppointed nlle
publican deputy. Thfli In tough on the
democrats but to our notion much tougher
' on the republican for it pretty nearly es
tablishes tliu preposition that tho mi
nority funtinu in '.hotriWHiiror light iK'llli
orntely sold their party nominee. It wne
not a virtuous upriitig of the people by
any iiirsns. II wn a deliberate corrupt
treasonable Imigaiiiaud Nile by the de
tented cuudldiile, for IreiiHiirer, nml hi
f rlends nml hackers of 1tio fairly nomi
, listed candidate of their parly. And the
consideration win- the daputyahlp with
'the deposit which was given in payment
lor the mry treason. That Is about the
vlxn of It, and aopr or later tho people
'will understand It.lUverlon Enterprise.
i , On thu first page of this paper wo print
thtexpri'Mloiittf two lending papers of
the county, one of cnoh party, on the un
expected notion of thu recently elected
'democratic, county treasurer In appoint
ing , republican deputy, reserving any
comment h of our own for a future Issue,
On tlissurfuoc. the action of Mr. Pannier
has tlioapprareiico of iiiiolher political
Job and it will be a dillleiilt matter tocou
' vlncc the people that it I otherwise; nml
Iu thU conueotioii it may bo appropriate
to remark that the people are becoming
very, very wcury of political job. If the
intention of Mr.t'assler Is to crcat pres
tege for himtelf, or his deputy, la some
f uturo campaign, his action will fall abort
of accomplishing its object. We believe
u majority of tho republican who neala
tod in placing Kr. Fncmlor in his present
position would have piefered to have
BseutheatTnirsof the offleo administered
by men within tho lines of tho democratic
party Just to see what a democrat could
da when given aa opportunity and had
this been done, and well done, it would
have boeu a hard lab at the 'did of two
years tntslodge-atr. V, from the oftipe.
now It will be eaaly accomplished. I'or
so much republicans should bo thankful;
it is tho democrats who are Justilled In
kicking, nud this la one of the rare In
stances in which the kickers have the ad
miration of tleHigaa!.-Uulde Itock 81k-

Myatteatioa has bees called to
as article, pabllsfaed in your last istne
and written by say catenated friend
W. A. MeKeighsa, eatitted, "The
great problem for the farmer to
solve," aad it oeoura to ate froat a
earoful perusal of tbe article, ny
friend MoKeigban h Mring at loag
range. He it goiag too far free
homo to look for tho eaase of all the
troable. In what I bare to eay I will
ot lack to ''avoid party prejadiea aad
offeaslve personal reference' bat will
endeavor to got right down to the
oold bard faota and eadeavor to tbow
ny fellow farmers where tbe whole
trouble liea. While I have not slud
led the tariff question to any great
extent, I am inclined to think my
friend Mo Kefghan makes'iome very
good pointa and I bclievo all this
eountry noeds on tbo tariff question
is a "tariff for revenue only,"
Hut tho ono great and all important
question i for , Nebraska tfi rmers to
solve and look after ia the question
of transportation. 80 long aa Webster
county farmers aro compelled to pay
tho H. 11. companies H cents per
bushel for hauling com tu Chicago
and 12J per bushol to HtLouis, which
are tho present rates, und which is
more than they, (the farmers) get for
planting, raiaitig and haulinu it to
market, just that long w ill our far
mers be solving tbe great problem as
my friend iMcKeighan puta it. Now
lot ua look and aee what wo as farmers
have douo to correct thoan great
abuses.
Two years ago my friend McKoigh
an took an aotivo part as a leader of
tho labor and anti-monopoly parties
to soeure tho nomination of tho Hon.
J. 8. Hoover to represent tho farmers
of Webster county in tbo state senate.
Mr. Hoover posed as tho 1 armors
friend and was elected by tho farmers
of this and tho two' other oounties
comprising this senatorial district.
From the time tho senato convened
if you look up tho records, you wjll
not una a single instanoo when our
honorable senator annuo a movo or
even raised his hand to relieve the
pooplo who sent him there to look
after and roprosont the r interests but
from tho roooids of tho senato in Sen
ate Journal, page 1U01 we find thu
following resolution and proceedings

On this resolution huvini: been
called by Mr Itaymoiid, ('liureh Howe
the recoguixed attorney for ono of the

all ol Uiciii pioinptly niovcil to lay it
on the tiilile. Tins motion of Mr.
liowe'ri uiirteaiiuil by theuiil of Sen
utor Hoover's vote mill lUtiiioiiii' ics
oliiiion was laid on thu l.ilil. In in-
tice to Mr Hoover I oulit Mi add that
hu had with with him in tli'.a notion
every private and every officer in tho
oiitiro !brass collared brigade" in tho
state of Nebraska. Anyone
curious to know names will Und them
nil recorded on pae IQiht of tho sou -ate
journal. ,
Stop and think I How van it be pos
sible that any man who pretended to
represent tho farmers of Webster
county, could, would, and did veto
agsinHt a resolution requesting the
State Hoard of Transportation to
make, enforce and adopt a rule
that would compol tho various
railroad iompniiica throughout tho
state to adept and charge a schedule
of rates that is "reasonably, fust,
,: ii.!7r,i,i7r"ratcs that would not
discriminate against the interests of
the state."
Iit any wonder after this that tho
railroad corporations determined to
extort frem tho producers of this
tat every dollar that could hu wrung
out of them? Did not Heover by hi
vote-deflaro th it the penph of thit
district nt, Icat did, notwant"rcn.vii.
able freight rales?" Hid uot ho say
to tho corporations in effect, you have
been too loineat with us in tho past,
your rales have been too moderate,
we have prospered too much, we want
you to plunder and extoit from as
tbe last remnant of tbe pittaneu that
remain to as. If this is not what
his vote meant, what did it mesa?
IVrhaps, however, it is wrong for wo
to imagine that Mr. Hoover waa sent
to Lincoln to represent tho people of
tills district. Possibly he was sent
thera to "feather liia own oet " If
so M has eeu successful, for soon
