Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1890-09-06
A TAXPAYER or LITTLE CANVAS
HEARD FROM.

d u
wish to state the following facts
through your paper;
"Btf9re the Republican County
Convention met, the citizens Of
Mt. Home held caucus and agreed
among themselves that they would
not ask for any of the county OIL
GERS, but promise all of them to
Glenn's Ferry with the understand
ing that the people Of that place
were 10 vote for county seat at Mt.
Home. After the people Of Glenn
Ferry had pledged themselves to
support Mt. Home for county seat,
then Mt. Home says, we are not
satisfied with county seat alone, for
we will get that anyway; but We
must have all the important officers
IN the county, as we are boss
Glenn's Ferry and other towns in
the county have got TO move when
we crack or whip.
why, but "A short time ago |
heard man from Mt. Home say:
We will get the county seat at MI.
Home, and next winter we will ask
the Legislature Of Idaho and have
Elmore county to issue bonds to
the amount of 100000 TO put up
county buildings at Mt. Home and
then we will have the dead wood on
the upper country for years to come
II have no doubt but that every
man in Mt. Home expects to run
the county of Elmore in debt of
100000, if they can, to put mp
county buildings.
''If this be true and the county
seat should be voted to Mt. Home
you and ! will never live to see the
county Of Elmore get out of debt,
and if the county seat should get to
Mt. Home, it will increase taxes
100 per cent, Every taxpayer
should think OF this when he goes
to deposit his BALLOT on the first day
of October, next.
There is no doubt in my mind
but what the Legislature of Idaho
will be asked to extend the eastern
boundary line of Gilmore county
some twelve or fifteen miles, next
winter. If this be the case, why
not vote the county seat at Glenn's
Ferry it is more centrally located
than Mt. Home. and by far q better
place for county buildings than the
sage-brush desserts Of the Windmill
City.
"lf the taxpayers are not satisfied
with the county seat at Rocky Bar
why not vote for it mt Little Camas?
This IL in the very center of the
county and would give every one
an equal chance TO get TO the county
seat ut all times Of the year, and
besides fthe reader will just think
for moment, Mt. Home is not
self-supporting, take the Rocky
Bar trade away from her and she
could barily exist. A few ques-
tions now. Where dose the laboring
man of Mt. Home go TO get work.
Rocky Bar; where does the freighter
of Mt. Home get his meat and
bread? Rocky Bar; where does the
rancher of Mt. Home 60 to sell his
produce2 Rocky Bar. Why? Re-
cause Rocky Bar is the best market.
Then why not support your market
with your vote?
My advice to all taxpayers is LET
the county scat remain where it ia
for tho present, rs we have n more
thing to look after than
county seat at this election.
Idaho ia now on the eve of an
election, and both parties
are preparing for the fight. The
new State is undoubtedly Demo-
cratic. If you will put your shoulder
to the wheel and keep the ball
rolling, the Grand Old Democratic
Partie is bound win. The Demo-
Gratis has put good ticket in the
field, both State and county, and it
would be a grand mistake to allow
il to be defeated.
Good Lord Deliver my body from
the Republican party, my property
from high taxes and my soul from
the devil. Which is my prayer"
