WANTS A COUNTY TESTER,
Creameryman Offers Suggestion to
Butter Makers.
To the Editor OF the Reflector.

, 10 the Editor OF the Reflector.
CARLTON, March S.-Dickinsor
county is the famous dairy county o
Kansas and whatever will promot,
that industry ought to meet with the
cordial approval Of all the citizens o.
this county. One Of the essential
things to make this business a sue.
cess is harmony between the patron
and the factory men. 1t has come to
pass that the farmers think the
factory men are cheating them in the
tests. Too many farmers have too
high an idea Of what their milk tests.
1t is not the purpose Of the factory
men to beat the patrons, 1t is used
protect the man with the rich milk
against the one with poor milk.
Under the present system, there is
a good deal of kicking. The object
OF this letter is lay before the farmers
OF this county the advisability Of hav-
ing county tester of milk elected by
the people. This is something new
but Kansas leads and never follows.
If we could have such an officer
the farmers could not be charging
foul play as they are now; and | be-
lieve that they would be better salts
fed than to have men who are finan-
cially interested test their milk. The
factory men too would be benefited,
as by this system whatever Of blame
came could be shifted to other
shoulders.
The public has had public weigh
masters. The government has meat
inspectors and liquor gaugers. The
state provides for bank inspectors
and grain inspectors why could not
this county have public milk testerP
The expense of this officer could be
charged up to the different factories
the same as the banks have to pay
the examiners. More than two thirds
OF all the farmers Of this county are
patrons of the 20 different factories.
1t might be answered by some that
II the voters could elect county
tester they would elect either one
ignorant or partial to their interests.
But we elect county superintendent
OF public instruction and the voters
usually elect good men.

SALARIES WILL DROP.
Dickinson's Population to Cut a
Figure This Year.

I The general fees and salaries bill
passed both houses Of the Legislature
and only some small amendments
|, make a difference between them. I,
is considered by the leading members
Of the party that the bill will pass.
County Clerk Kieffer says that there
is scarcely possibility that the
assessors returns this spring will
show population in the county Of
over, 10000. Last year 1t was 1891
and it is not likely to be greater. 1t
is however to be remembe bered that
since Dickinson had a special salary
law there has been no special induce
ment to get every resident ON the
rolls as there will be now when the
officers salaries depend upon the
population. On basis of less than
10000 the salaries will be as follows,
if it becomes over 10000 they will be
increased about ID per cent:
County treasurer, $l,4OO and 5000
may be allowed by the commissioners
for clerk hire. Now $4,000.
County clerk, $1,000 and commits
sioners may allow 5000 for clerk hire.
Now $4,000.
County superintendent, $1,000 and
possible allowance Of 5000. Now
$1,000.
County attorney, 5000 and fees
(probably $400) Now 81, 200 and fees.
District Clerk, $1,000 and fees
(probably $60O.) Now fees, about
$4,000.
Sheriff, $1,000 and three-fourths of
fees in excess of that sum. Now fees,
about $500.
Probate Judge, $1,000 and half fees
in excess. Now fees, about 81 100.
Register Of deeds, $1,000 and half |
fees in excess. Now fees, about |
$1,000.
Commissioners, 5000 year. Now
about the same.
Jurors will get $3.50 day. Now
80.
The bill takes effect Jan. 10, 1898, !
and every officer is compelled to
keep public fee book and register
all receipts.

TALKED THROUGH HIS HAT.
6. Livingston, Reformer, and His
Mortgage Payment.

A great reformer lives in thi
county. His name is George Livings
ton and he has grown immensel,
wealthy out Of farming and the rise Il
land values. The richer he gets th
more he kicks and abuses the govern
ment' He wants the county officer
paid $40 a month, the price Of farm
hands, and thinks interest robber,
except when he slaps on a big round
rate on his loans. Some years ago he
bought some land in Flora township
and placed a ten year mortgage fol
$l2OO on it with the Union Central
Insurance company. He has made so
much money that he wanted to pay it
off the other day and sent a draft to
the company which was returned. He
made a great roar and pointed to 1t as
an example of how investors loved a
Pop state that they would not allow a
man to pay his debts. The facts are
that the Union Central allows any
debtor to pay off a mortgage in whole
or part at any time when it is done in
good faith and not by borrowing
money somewhere else. Fully $780,
600 has been so paid in this county.
Mr.. Livingston instead Of rendering
his money through the company's
Kansas office sent in draft through
a bank without explanation or re-
marks. 1t was returned until the
facts were learned. Had he done bus
iness as businessman should, he
would have received his mortgage
note instanter. So Mr.. Livngston's
ouncombe fell very flat. He can pay
his mortgage if he wishes and Incl
dentally can give practical example
Of how Kansas farmer can pile up
wealth out here on the prairies.

Will Go to $40.

The man who refused 1880 an
acre for raw prairie in Geary county
the other day says in explanation:
81 feel very strong on the Kansas
land, especially the character that
mine is, and predict that inside Of
three years it will be worth $40 an
acre; hence do not feel disposed to
sell it just when everything is at its
lowest ebb.n
