than that they are lazy. That they

HYPOCRISY EXPOSED.

=
forests of the County, the Tax
payers and the Dear People.
During the last session of the leg
islature Representative Funderburgh
introduced bill asking an appropri-
alton of $1,000 or so much of it as
might be necessary for the construc
ton of bridge across the Arkansas
river near Carlton.
This money was to be taken from
The Internal improvement fund. This
fund comes to the state from the fed
eral government, and not from the
taxpayers. The government returns
to the state FIVE per cent of all the
money it receives through its land
offices for the sale of public lands
commu,ed homesteads, prescriptions,
etc. This money can, by the condi-
tions of the law granting it, be used
only for the building of roads,
bridges and reservoirs. Its purpose
is to assist new and thinly settled
counties to make such needed i'm
proyemeuts of that nature as they
could not otherwise do, without over
burdening the taxpayers. This land
district has paid to the federal gov
ernment since january 1897 over
$4,000 for public lands. Five per
cent OF this Is $4,000. Forty thous-
and dollars therefore is the amount
this district alone has contributed to
the internal improvement fund Of the
state, and not one dollar has ever
been returned to this aupty or any
other that constitutes the district
The bill above referred to, asked
enough from the fund to build the
bridge. 1t would be supposed that
this county was the last place from
which to expect opposition to the
measure. 1t was soon found, howev-
er, that members before favorable
were against it because of traitorous
at home.
An investigation disclosed that let
ters from Lamar We're being written
to different members denouncing the
bill as the scheme of gang" The
writer declared that the people OF the
county did not want the bridge built
and urged the members to oppose
and defeat it. 1t required a good
deal of work and number of trips
to Denver to overcome this treacher-
Gus opposition. The man who
wrote those letters has been and
is still posing as the special friend
and champion of the dear people and
the comfy. He steered and shaped
the late reform" convention. He
worked early and late to bring ont
the ticket His counsels have been
potent and his office has been the
headquarters for the steerers. 1t
was there that the schemes were
hatchel and matured The gentle
man to whom we refer is L. f.
Blodgett-
Had the bill become law the
money appropriated would have
been expended in the county this fall
and winter, and many men for whom
the gentleman and the gang eonnec-
ted with him in this city are profess
ing such friendship and sympathy,
would have had work for themselves
and teams. 1t would also have Civ
en- the county free of cost to any tax
payer in the county or state, splendid
and needed improvement.
What huniliating position is that
