MIR. Baker, the attorney, too per cent
II Mr.. Baker gets anything from this
county, he will have to do it through q
suit. In case such suit is brought, the
county ought to put In . good, stiff
counter-claim for damages. As matter
of fact Mr.. Baker is not morally entitled
to one cent from Emmons county. The
board of county commissioners, upon
learning that Is per cent was the figure
of the offer made to Emmons county by
the N. P, before the state tax-compromise
commission, determined to go to law with
the corporation before they would accept
such an Insignificant sum, which would
have amounted to about $4,000. Through
parties in Kidder county, correspond
ence was entered into with Mr. Baker,
and an agreement was made with him
several months ago to conduct the case.
1t was believed and understood that the
case would be promptly pushed, SO that
the matter might reach the United States
supreme court within the life Of the
present generation. But Mr.. Baker,
month after month. delayed coming to
Emmons county to consult with our Of
fcisls. though his presence was fire..
quently requested by letter, and he as
frequently set time for his coming. His
last letter, previous to settlement with
the company, stated that he would be
here in June. But June came and went.
and still the attorney failed to appear.
The commissioners. when they met in the
early part of July, we're pretty Thoroughly
disgusted with the procrastinating policy
Of Mr.. Baker. They knew that, after the
suit should have begun, the company
would interpose every kind Of delay
known to the law, and that 1t was vitality
necessary to have prompt action. At this
point in the proceedings an N. p. tax
agent appeared and on behalf of the
company suggested plan of settlement
about three times as liberal to the county
as the company had proposed to the state
tax commission; and the commissioners,
having been practically deserted by Mr..
Baker. accepted the. offer. Had Mr..
Baker appeared. and taken the case into
court at the last term, as he should have
done, there would have been no COM
promise, spnd Mr.. B. would have been
entitled to 20 per cent Of the taxes recov.
