NOT A FAIR STATEMENT.

"Neither the Bulletin nor the
other papers down the valley, have
a single word to say in regard to
the county's financial condition.
The Bulletin has not as yet printed
the financial mentprepared by
County Clerk Smith, which shows
that the county is still running be
hind at the rate of $4,000 per
year. This is a matter in which
every tax payer and property
owner is deeply interested. 1t is
silly to say that the tax rate can
not be advanced above the present
rate Of four per cent, which is con-
sidered a good rate of interest on
an investment in the eastern states.
The tax rate can be increased,
and it will be increased. The
holders of outstanding obligations
have only to put their holdings in
to the form of a judgment, when
the supervisors will be compelled
by the district court to levy a spec
ial tax to pay the judgment
claims. The tax rate can be rails
ed to six per cent or any amount
necessary to pay off the judgment.
The taxable wealth of Graham
county is increasing as rapidly as
that of any other county in the
territory, but the deficit seems to
keep apace with the increase. The
Era stated year ago that the
county was rapidly rushing into

"Cyclone Bill has been in Stafford

bankruptcy, which statement was
ridiculed by the valley papers,
The Era was correct, as is borne
out by the statement of expenses
of the county clerk for the present
year. No county can long avoid
bankruptcy which ir running be-
hind at the rate of $4,000 per
year. There should be no time
lost in adopting radical meas
ures Of reform. The Era is not
now prepared to say just how re-
forms can be secured, but it will
gladly open its columns to the tax
payers Of the county for their sug-
gestions. We had hoped that the
valley papers would show an in
clination to aid in the work, but
it seems that they are not in a
position to even mention the sub
ject."
In the above the Era is, to say
the least, very unfair. The contro-
versy was between the Bulletin and
Era. The Era advocating county
Lewiston and the Bulletin fighting
against it. The GUARDIAN said at
that time that if county division
would benefit the people Of the
county we would favor it, other
wise we would not. We will al
ways stand in the same position.
The Era has been trying for sever
al weeks to draw the Bulletin into
the controversy again, and failed
until last week, when it gave it an
answer that was quite to the point.
When the Era refers to the other
papers of the valley it was none to
Graham guardian., 1901-11-22

ment is contained in the grand
jury's final report, but we under
stand that that body did find this
to be fact and out of this amount
only about $500 had been turned
into the county and no salary of
any description was contained in
the amount of $4,000. The last
grand jury was composed of some
of Graham county's best men.
They spent days and days in a
thorough investigation with a view
of reducing county expenses.
These expenses can be reduced
and the grand jury pointed out the
way. Let all the people and
every paper in the county follow
the example set by the grand jury
and expenses will soon diminish.
The report of the grand jury
says regarding justice courts, but
does not refer to all:
"Dockets badly and irreguiarly
kept.
Excessive fees charged and
have been allowed.
"Cases have been docketed, tried
and then the justices have found
that there was no case and the
costs charged to and paid by the
county,
"Vexatioas SUITS have been filed
and the fees and expenses charged
to and paid by the county.
"Justices have not sufficiently

get the GUARDIAN to enter the
fight, as this paper is the only
"other" one in the valley that
discussed political matters last
fall. This paper never ridiculed
the statements made by the Era a
year ago, knowing full well that
If it kept along the same line it
would make itself sufficiently rid
iculous.
The Era says the county is rush.
ing into debt at the rate of $40, 900
per year. This is not correct.
The clerks estimate of the de-
ficiency is only little over $4,000
and this is between $4,000 and
$4,000 more than were the ex-
penses last year.
Now if the Erals really in favor
of retrenchment in county ex,
penses, why does it not assist?
The last grand jury started a refor-
nation, that if backed up by the
people, will result in vast saving.
Yet ever since it's final report was
published the Era has endeavored
to cast insinuations against the
motives of that body that are prov
ing detrimental. The Era says
that the grand jury in stating that
the justices Of the peace had col
lected $4,000 the present year
made u serious mistake, that this
amount contains the salaries of
county officials. No such state

Does the Era deny that these
conditions exist! If not, let it
turn that wonderful search-light in
that direction and see if it can't
discover some means of reducing
taxation.

Referring to the rumor published re-
Gently that the Lacka wanna Railroad
company contemplated building line
down the Delaware valley to Trenton,
where Philadelphia connections might
be made. the Trenton state Gazette eN-
presses the opinion that the prospects
are. but slight for the building of such
line by the Lackawanna. The Ga
2ette thinks there is n possibility that
a new railroad will be built down the
valley at no far distant date but 1t is
very unlikely to be the Lackawanna.
as it would have little to gain ana
much to lose by such action. Speaking
further on this matter, the Gazette
says:
'If the Lackawanna should invade
the Pennsylvania territory. the latter
could deliver return blow which
would make things very interesting for
awhile. The Lackawanna's entire Fast
ern Pennsylvania and Pocono territory
is traversed by the Wilkes Barre and
Eastern, which is controlled by the
Erie and the Erie by the Pennsylvania
so by manipulating the proper strings
there would be no trouble in invading
that territory. Only two miles of track
would need To be built
another point where the Pennsyl-
vana could deliver telling blow at the
Iackawanna is in the slate belt Of
Northampton county. where the latter
company acquired the Bangor and
Portland railroad with the expeCtat ation
that it would prove Il gold mine, but
through the energetic opposition OF the
Jehigh and New England. which IL now
controlled by the Bangor and Port
faud's former president who was
frozen out Of his position by the Blair
estate, 1t has proven a gold brick. Con-
nections with this line alone would give
the PENNSYLVANIA a vast increase in Its
traffic on the Belvidere line.
There is also suspicion that the
Pennsylvania Is backing the Lehigh
and New England in its recent active
moves to complete a through line be-
tween Pennsylvania and Boston. via
the Poughkeepsie bridge. The import
ance of such a line to the PennSylVania
cannot be enumerated in a few words
1T is quite evident that the public
will be treated to big fight in railroad
lines a little later on, if all the plans
do not miscarry. and it will center upon
the Pennsylvania. Lackawanua and
Delaware valley companies.
THE question of through line up
the valley, backed by the Erie, is not
as suppositious as some may suppose.
TIE present Delaware Valley road,
from Water Gap to Port Jervis, is re-
ceiving strong backing from unexpect-
ed sources
"There is but little probability that
the LaCkaWanna will connect with the
Reading railway at any point, as the
two roads are not to be Classed in the
same lines, and there is no SPECIAL feel
ings of friendship between them.
The new Delaware Valley railroad
has announced its intention OF connect
ing with the Pennsylvania at Manunka
Chunk and the Erie at Port Jcrvis
within the next year, thus starting the
fight which is in view"
