Last weeks issue OF the Yellowstone Vdley
Recorder speaks OF the "l65 deluded persons
on the coded strip. The Nel1 Idea would in
form the Recorder that there are 7i2 sensible
voters and taxpayers that have signed a petit
ton Tor Crabon county, and many more are will
ing 10 sign as soon as they have an opportunity.
II the Rec0Tder will state those promised facts
and figures as they are it will convince its read
ers that Carbon county can be managed at a
much lower rate OF taxation than the county Of
Yellowstone ever has been since IL was created
--Red LOdge NeU Idea
A radical cut In salary al ways induces care
leSsness, neglect and incompetency. The hon.
orable gentlemen OF the legislature that are so
anxious TO cut the saIaries OF county officers in
two. would do well to face about and look az the
proposition from another point of view. There
are good many leaks that could be stopped
with profit to the taxpayer, outside Of officers
salaries.-Dulon Tribune

The Helena papers are ambitious to increase
their circulation and to that end have intro
duced resolution in the legislature that the
state pay for five copies each OF the Independent
and Herald for each member. just what the
members will do with the copies is not stated In
the resolution, but we move TO amend that Sem
ator EgglestOn and Representative Anderson be
supplied with 10 copies each and be compelled
to read them carefully, column by column. The
gentlemen named have no legitimate excuse for
being In the legislature anyhow, and hey should
be made TO pay some penalty for their temerity
In going to Helena.-Gredt Falls tribune.
