It seems to Truth that the Herald did the board of county commissioners an injustice by juggling figures in an attempt to show that although the board had made the tax levy for this year 6.7 mills against 7.2 mills in 1901 and 8.5 mills in 1900 that no reduction had actually been made. .'Its a poor cause that cant stand without being supported by an injustice. There can be no politics in it, for the Democratic member of the board deserves equal credit with his Republican colleagues for the good work and strict economy of the present board.

The reasons for this are apparent. Bills crowd, not Bill himself, went to the meeting and were going to try to run things to suit themselves, but George M. Hansen, and his friends, took the bull by the horns as it were, s and organized the club, while were waiting to see what was going on. The club will meet on the 5th of the month to elect officers.

An economy campaign with Bill means a campaign where Bill does not get his arm into the pie.
