Resolved BY the publisher of said Sioux
City Journal, That We will commence
setting the said Tax list next Monday
morning.
We should Judge that our contemporary
had reckoned without. his host. or at least
without bis type when he decided to com.
mence setting the said tax list next Mon
day morning" as we were solicited in the
eafIy part Of the week to furnish the Jour.
nal suficiency Of that very essential
article for the successful accomplishment
Of the task which be has undertaken. We
were forced to decline, as We shall have
occasion to use all our type for the "set.
ting Of said tax list" ourselves, having
been employed to DO the job by the Board
Of Supervisors of this county.
Our friend may be as much mistaken 10
his having secured "fat take as in bis
capacity to perform the task he has under.
taken. 1t would be we'll for him to under.
stand, that, though be may have surrep.
titiously obtained copy Of the delinquen.
tax list, and though he should succeed ia
hunting up type enough to publish it, the
Board of Supervisors are the financial
agents Of the county, and control the dis
position and disbursement of its funds.
The law, as we'll as the order Of the
Board of Supervisors required that this
tax list should be published in the REGIS
TER, it having a circulation Eve times
greater than that Of the Journal. Blu.
Stone disregarding his duties as the agent
Of the county for the transmission of the
tax list to the paper in which it was order.
ed to be published, has handed it into the
Jonrnal Office, to comply as be AYERS with
a contract made with that paper for its
publication at the rate Of twenty cents a
line, though be was at the same time ad.
vised that this paper had offered to pub.
lish said list ct q rate four hundred per
cent less. The anxious solicitude Of Mr..
Stone to secure patronage for republican
office, and the still greater anxiety of our
friend Of the Journal to secure what hs
styles "fat take" has we fear hurried
both these gentlemen into position where
they will neither reap honor or profit.
