The New Counties.
How does Ottawa County stdnd?---How
do tile Townships Of Mis County
Stand?-Ertract from the Records
wiH teH.-Read, reflect and then vote!

There is not a single new County in the
State but the government owes more or
less. This indebtness is confined wholly
to the newer counties, for the older coun-
ties, such as Wayne, Washtenaw, Macomb,
Livingston, Lenawee, Hillsdale, Jackson,
Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Branch and Berri-
en-, having no delinquent taxes, have avoid
ed falling into the maws of the Lansing
Sharks. fa4I
The new counties owe their respective
towns largely because the State does not
pay the county.
In order that the voters Of Ottawa may
know the extent of the swindle, we pub
lish the following facts taken from the re-
port Of the Auditor General:
Amount due Nov. 1854, last year of
democratic administration, s5o7 so
Amount due Nov. 1855, first year Of
republican administration, $5,Oss 95
Amount due Nov. 1856, second year
of republican administration, $l2,5S7 81
Amount due Nov. 1857, third year of
republican administration, S49,404 70
Amount due Nov. 1858 fourth year Of
republican administration, .94,0s5 rs
Amount due Nov. 1859, fifth year OF
republican administration, .$124,669 60
Before the republicans came into pow
er it was the custom to pay up the new
counties annually. Now contrast the
amount due under the last year of dem
ocratic administration, 1907 go, with
$124,66 90, the amount due in Nov,
is59-the result Of five years of Repub-
lican administration, so far as regards the
pecuniary interest of the new Countless
These are facts and figures taken from
the authentic State reports. Is there not
logic in those .fguresl But how does
Ottawa county stand in whose welfare we
are most interested?

In 1859 George Parks, the County

In 1859 George Parks, the County
Treasurer, was obliged TO have money to
pay the expenses Of court and jury, and
CHER absolutely necessary expenses, in
order to keep the machinery of the coun
ty organization in motion. There was
none in the treasury! so he paid out Of
the monies coming into his hands, as a
part Of the proceeds Of the October land
sales, s612 80, and refused to pay over
TO the State Treasurer the balance of the
money, unless said amount which he had
been obliged to pay out was allowed and
charged to the county. In that way, and
that way only, the records show s6l2 80
paid in 1859! m % -
There is now due this county, in cash,
about $4,000 from the STATED The bal
ance sheet from the State shows, in July,
1860, So, 296 20-since which time must
be added another list of delinquent taxes.
Now, Tax payers, look at these figures
and by your votes rcpudiate the course OF
the republican officials. In four years of
democratic rule you were paid by the
State $7,752 43, in cash, collected in
Lansing on your delinquent taxes!
In four years of republican rule you
were only paid by the State, in cash, col
lected in Lansing on your delinquent
taxes, $243 92-add to that 1912 80,
retained by the County Treasurer out Of
the monies accruing at the land sales, and
you have in all, 1856 81!
Fellow-citizens, do your townships need
what belongs to youa Then vote TO put
men that have proved themselves true to
you into office, in place of republicans
Vote for the Democratic State Ticket.
There is logic in these figures! They
have a significancy Of great importance
These facts and figures have been stated
publicly, again and again, within five
minutes walk of the Ottawa County
Court House, where the records are kept
and the republicans challenged to examine
those records and show those statement:
to be incorrect, 1Mey CAM but as YET
no attempt has been madel
If not true, would they keep silent
when they can so easily find and search
the records?
We conclude that the old trick of with
holding reply until there is no opportu
nifty 10 answer will be attempted in this
instance. They have had abundant op
portunity TO answer, but no one has at
tempted it, as yet.
Look out, just on the eve Of the elec
ton, for tremendous Indignation article
upon the subject from the republicans!
Again we challenge any republican tc
point their finger to single erroneous
statement or figure in the matter here
set forth

Is not every dollar taken from the
pockets of the farmers and settlers in the
townships Of our county felt? Or are they
so rich that they can afford to raise taxes
to keep public officials, at Lansing, deaf
to all entreaties for the payment Of just
dues? Do the several townships Of OF
tawa County want from the county their
dues9 Are their roads, bridges and
schools in need of money, or can they do
without its These are the questions to
be answered by your votes next week.
The democrats have nominated JOHN
s. BARRY for Governor, and their past
administration of the State government
is proof of what they will do.
The republicans have not nominated
one of the former members of their State
administration excepting ]. M. GREGORY,
the Superintendent Of Public Instruction,
but every one who has had any thing to
do with the public money they dare not
renominate, and now they ask you to sup
port the same administration of princi-
pies with new and hungry set of men
to manage your monies. Will you graf
ify them! They want moro of your
money. If you see no logic in figures,
derive no instruction from experience,
learn no lesson from the past, then go
and do just what they TASK you to do; give
them your votes, but don't, for the sake
of consistency, growl when you from the
townships ask the county for the money
due you for delinquent taxes, and the
Treasurer tells you that the State has
got the money. AS the Snowman says:

choice"
