The interview in Thursdays Reposi-
tory with Commissioner johnson re-
veals an interesting state of affairs in
this county which should be carefully
reflected upon by the taxpayers before
casting their votes for the reelection of
the court house ring. Commissioners
johnson says the contract with r., l
or re-indexing the deed and mortgage
records was illegal because "there was
no money in fund" The county treas
urer collects annually from the tax
payers nearly a million dollars, one half
on or before December 20 and one half
on or before June 20, as every taxpayer
knows. Now according to the contract
published by the Repository it. was
made and dated on June "a, just at the
time the June taxes had been collected
and nearly half million dollars turned
into the treasury. Yet Commissioner
Johnson says there was no money in
fund, and that the contract was there
fore illegal. If there was no money in
fund, then it was because of gross mis-.
management Of county affairs. Do the
commissioners mean to say that there
had been such gross mismanagement OF
the business of the county that the
treasury was still bankrupt at the close
of tax collection amounting to nearly
$4,000 Do they mean to say that
they spent all of the money before it
was collected Surely the records Of
the commissioners which the auditor is
supposed to keep do not show contracts
that would explain such an enormous
expenditure of money. Let the COM
missioners be more explicit. Let the
taxpayers know something about the
methods and transactions that so deep
ly concern them.

What objection can an auditor have,
or what excuse can he offer for not keep
ing the minutes OF the proceedings OF the
commissioners ss required by the stat.
utes. Do not the taxpayers pay him
enough to recompense him for this
labor2 Can that be given as an excuse2
Hardly, when the auditor receives a
salary of over $4,000 per year will this
be accepted as an excuse by the tax

1t Is almost beyond belief that Stark
county has board of commissioners who
would deliberately publish two such con-
Trajectory statements, and must prove
one of two things: Either that we have
a board of commissioners who are wholly
incompetent to transact the business for
the county and cannot be relied upon for
any statement they may make, or else
that they look upon the citizens of Stark
county as set of "ohumps." Never in
the history of the county has there been
such an attempt to deceive the people as
there has been by the present board of
commissioners and tbei' associates in II g
court house ring.
