Did you study it? Maybe so, unless you were subject to heart trouble, and if so your body is now down at the undertaker’s shop, and this sermon will fall upon ears that cannot hear and eyes that cannot see. } Chief Wolf and his administration, under the caption of “Have You a Little Tax Receipt at Home?” told how they had increased the revenue from fines, etc. They have also increased your taxes to more than double that! - what they were a year ago, despite the “efficiency” expert. Taking one piece of property as an instance, the county tax has been increased a little over $5 for the past year, WHILE THE CITY TAX HAS INCREASED MORE THAN $40. ‘Figured in mills, your tax receipt will show that the city taxes in 1915 were 5.15 mills. THIS HAS BEEN INCREASED TO 11.65 MILLS IN 1918—MORE THAN DOUBLE. As one instance: A certain house built in 1907' was valued at $7,000; it was afterwards reduced to $5,000; UNDER THE LEEPER “EFFICIENSY” ADMINISTRATION THE VALUATION WAS RAISED TO $6,600, BESIDES MORE THAN DOUBLING THE TAX RATE. 1 f you “have a little tax receipt in your home” and, like many other citizens, have not had the nerve to open the letter, do so now! Then go and dig up your last year’s tax receipt and compare it} with that of this year. | The comparison will astonish you. | If you “have a little tax receipt in your home” it’s a safe bet tha‘ you will not vote to continue the present administraion in office. Go down the line for the American Ticket and vour own interests. | b. 0). P. CANDIDATES ARE PLEDGED TO oTATUTORY PRORIBITION HERE last week from Casper were Leon J.
