The tax of one of my near neighbors is double what it. . was the preceding year and^et his -erops did nnt ftiy the cost of produc tion. It would seem that our farm ers, under present conditions win { .have to pay rent on th~ir own land. 'Vet our senator anJ representative,1 without consulting the wishes of the voters of the county, have raised the salaries of the several officers thus .further increasing the burden of tax ation. How can the people pay ! when the prices for their products (have been cut half in tvro? Our peo ple mean to pay; but when it comes |to a show down there are a plenty of ? our people Just as good as you or 1 who pannot even start their crops with?|^?he financial help of some ?o-ae else, who will that he? The mer jrhant is in the aaqie fix that the far urged upon our representative two | years ago and he declined to ha.ve it | passed, because he was thene to rep- ; resent Tile" people of FrxnkMa i_Vu>nty ; and not Just a little bunch of two or three.
