The superIn,endent.s Salary.

tttS .
In as much as some persons are
circulating false reports concerning
salary received by David Barnes as
superintendent of schools, We submit
the following
STATE OF CoLoRADo
County of Prowers
|, S. b. Faulkner, county clerk and
recorder in and for Prowers county,
Colorado, do hereby certify that the
records 10 this Office show that Prov
ers county paid for the services Of
county superintendent Of schools from
January 18th, 1897, to Jsnnnry 18th,
1898, the sum OF eighteen hundred
thirty one dollars and fifty cents
(slS3I 50)
That David Barnes received for his
services as county superintendent of
schools from January 18th, 1898, to
January 18th, 1899, only the sam of
sixteen hundred eleven dollars and
thirty five cents, (Sl6ll.35), and that
said David Barnes has received for
his services as county superintendent
of schools from January 18th, 1899,
to October LIST, 1899, only the sum of
eleven hundred thnty one dollars,
(Sll3i
In testimony whereof haze here
unto set my hand and official seal
this LIST day of November, A. d. 1899.
TsEALl S. b. FAULKNER,
County Clerk and Recorder.
By comparing the above figures, it
will be seen that the administration
OF DAVID Barnes has saved to Prov
ers county over two hundred dollars
(s200l per year. But the salary of
superintendent of schools cannot be
made an issne in this election as will
be seen by reading the following Law
which goes into effect next January
Sec II For the purpose of reg
ulating the amount of compensation
of county superintendents OF schools,
the counties are divided into seven
classes as follows: Prowers, etc.
shall be fifth class;
County superintendents of schools
shall receive the following compen-
sation to be paid quarterly out of the
county treasury, to- wit: in conn
ties OF the fifth class, an annual sal
airy of eight hundred dollars $500:
: boards of county commission.
ers may allow mileage, not 10 exceed
ten cents per mile, for distance nee
essarily and actually travelled in the
performance Of duty not to exceed an
aggregate of three hundred dollars
per aunum in any county
1t will be seen by the above that
Sll00 is the highest amount the su,
perintendent can receive hereafter.

1t should be easy for everyone to
make up his miud how to vote on
commissioner. NJ. j. McAIillin is a
progressive farmer and stockraiser
and business man, who pays more
taxes than the salary of the Office for
which he is candidate. His inter
ests are identical with those of the
taxpayers, and in his hands the man
agement of county affairs will be safe.
Vote for NJ. J. McAIillin.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

Vote for Reynolds. He is a farmer
and a taxpayer and has not had a
long pull at the county treasury, as
his opponent has. He is competent
to FL the Office in au efficient manner
and viii carry heavy vote where,
ever he is well known.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

A vote for John Mcdowell will be
an approval of the record Of an off
cial who has served the county well
and at a greatly reduced salary. The
state board OF equalization is threat
ening to put in jail all assessors who
refuse to do their bidding The an
swer of Prowers county should be a
rousing majority for Mcdowell.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

The work of the state board of
equalization is proof that the fusion
party is trying to shift the borden of
taxes on the farming interests of the
state. Prowers county depends en-
tirely upon agriculture, and should
elect men to office who are strong
enough, and have sufficient interest
at stake to make a determined stand
against the state officials.

Next Monday is the last day for
registration and then you can only
get your name on the list by going
before the election board with two
witnesses, and swearing to your res
idence. You should see if your
name is on the list, and if not make
sure that it is put on.

The republican prosperity has
made times SO good now that there is
no excuse for an able bodied man to
plead poverty. Some of them are
doing it however in the hunt for Of
fee, and they certainly should be
ashamed of themselves.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

The tax levy of Prowers county
has been higher each year since the
fusionists have controlled the county
than it was during the republican ad
ministration. This good year to
remedy this state of affairs. Vote
the republican ticket
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

Vote for John Curry. He has not
had a seven year pull at the county
treasury ike his opponent, but he is
an efficient clerk aud an agreeable
gentleman, and well qualified in eve
ry respect for the position of county
clerk.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

Another week has passed and still
the fusionists are qniet on their fav-
orite subject of ''time- No
doubt their candidates for clerk and
treasurer can explain this silence.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

For coroner and surveyor you can
not do better than vote for Clary and
Markham. They will not be sadly
disappointed if defeated, but each
is well qualified for any work that
might come in his line.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

Vote for David Barnes. He has
given the comfy the best administra-
tion of the superintendent's office it
has ever had, and has voluntarily re-
duced the compensation several hun
dred dollars.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

Great uneasiness exists in fusion
circles for fear the north side voters
will treat their ticket in the same
manner that the fusionists have here
tofore treated the north side candi-
dates.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

The farmers are given no consider
alton by the fusionists. They pay
too much taxes to be recognized by
the tax eating crowd
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

Vote for j. D. Martin. He is a
substantial citizen and well known to
be in favor of the enforcement of law
and order in the county, and you
can make no mistake IN casting a
ballot for him.
The Lamar register., 1899-11-01

The average farmer in Prowers
county pays more taxes than the en-
tine fusion ticket, yet coroner was
the only office the fusionists allowed
them.

Fusion has proved an expensive
luxury to the taxpayers everywhere
that it has been tried
