A Word About Commissioners.

The most important Office upon the
county roster is hat Of commissioner
because of the rare opportunity it af-
fords to defraud the county and to
fatten the purse by stealing from the
tax payer. This may be done by al
lowing bogus bills, participating in
public contracts, sometimes unscrup-
ulously allowed, furnishing the coun-
ty with supplies at exorbitant figures,
or by specializing in county scrip,
all Of which is felony, and wrong for
a county commissioner to do. OF
course under the new code he can't
steal quite as much at a time as he
once could-and within the last TWEEN
ty years, for one purpose or another.
the most of the public funds have
been withdrawn-but it is still quite
essential to place, if possible, a
squarely honest and wide awake mar
in that place--if for no other reason
than to keep people from getting
next to the remaining bit of office
furniture.
Such a man is j. l.. Walker. He
is punctual, painstaking and homes,
in all his dealings, and will see thai
others act likewise. He sees every
thing that transpires about him, and
will call down the biggest man ii
the world in order 10 see justice pre-.
vail. He belongs to the X. O.. T. NJ.
A. O.. [. W., K. L. and P. A. His
property interests are varied, includ.
ing town and ranch property, ant
live stock. He is a teamster anC
general contractor, and lumberman
claiming considerable proficiency il
the latter business. He.was born in
New York city, 1853, and lived fol
some time in Calumet, Mich, before
coming west in 1892. A vote for J
l.. Walker for commissioner is a vote
for the right man in the right place
at the right time.
