Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1902-10-30
Fred L. Gibson, Expluin !

Fred L. Gibson, the republican can
didate for county attorney, and who
poses as the friend Of the taxpayers of
Rosebud county is invited to explain
his position on the question of elevating
Rosebud county from the 7th to the 9th
class. At a regular meeting of the
board of county commissioner, of Rose
bud county, held for the purpose of
determining whether or not this county
should be changed from the eth to the
9th class, and at which time the pre-
sent county commissioners decided that
the county should remain in the 9TH
class, Mr.. Gibson stated to the men,
bers of the board that unless the com
r'issioners raised the cr.,nty to the 9th
class, he would compel them to do so.
When informed by one of the men,
bers of the board that it was his duty
to defend the board and the county,
and that he could not, as county attor-
ney, bring action against the board,
he stated that he would see to it that
other counsel was employed to compel
the board to place the county in the
9th class.
1t is we'll known fact that, accord
ing to the last assessment. the taxable
value of the property in this county en-
titled the county to be placed in the
9th class, but it is also a we'll known
fact that since the last assessment and
prior to the meeting of the board of
county commissioners, many cattle,
sheep and horses were removed from
the county and that the taxable value
of the property in the county had so de-
creased that the county could not pro-
perly be placed in the 9th class. It
was for this reason, and this reason
alone, that the board of county comis-
sioners decided as they did, thus saw
ing to the taxpayers of this county
$225O.OO year in salaries of the
county officers.
Had the change been made, Mr.. Glib
sons salary would have been increased
SSOO.OO per annum, and it was probably
for this reason that Mr.. Gibson was
so anxious to have the change made,
having his own interests more at heart
than those of the taxpayers of this
county, whose votes he now solicits.
There were present at this meeting
of the board of county commissioners
Mr.. Thomas Alexander, Mr.. Thomas
E. Hammond, Mr.. Hunter Terrett,
the present members of the board of
county commissioners, as we'll as
County Clerk Charles w. Bailey and
Mr.. Charles B. Taber, to whom we
refer as to the correctness of the above
assertion.
Are the taxpayers of Rosebud county
going to vote for a man who places
love of self interest above the interests
OF those whom he is elected to serve?

Kansas officials declare that the report

that it is endeavoring to md some means
of getting out Of the controversy in the
best manner possible.
When Kansas filed its petition in the
supreme court asking that Colorado be
restrained from depicting the river. Col
orado filed motion asking that the
case be dismissed on the ground that lit

between states and because the court
had no jurisdiction in the matter. The
supreme court held that II was compe-
tent TO try the ease and that it was a
controversy as might arise between two
states

court on its merits and it is now up TO

t;onal Typographical union. in its annual

Federation OF Labor. and on the regula-
ton of regulars and substitutes and

ton this week.

HAD THEM PREPARE ALL

New York, August 14.-Santos- Dumont
the aeronaut. sailed for France on La
Touraine today His intended departure
was known only to few friends and
was explained by the aeronaut himself
as due to the failure of certain persons
to put up the expected $4,000 prize for
a successful fight in this city. He said
he would return to this country in time
for the airship contest at the ST. Louis
exposition.
= shall go to work on my arrival in
France TO put my new airship in condi-
ton for the St Louis exposition" he
said. My other machine at Brighton
Beach 1 have sold and l do not know
what is to be done with ii. 1 had fully
intended TO make the battery trip and
when l return L will perhaps be able
TO do So
Santos-D umont said that he was not
a rich man and he could not make an
exhibition of this kind without assur-
ances that his expenses would be paid.
When in France, he continued. he re-
ceived word that the Aero club of Amer
lea had offered a prize of $4,000 for a
flight from Brighton Beach TO the bat
terry in this city. In response to that
offer he came over with his machine.
Since 1 have been staying here" con-
Guided the aeronaut, Il have heard vari-
Gus rumors that the offer was not legit-
innate Whether this is true or not L do
not know, but l am not going to take
any risks and therefore have decided not
to make the SAIL
George Francis Kerr. the secretary Of
the Aero club, expressed much surprise
when told of the aeronaut's departure.
Il cannot see why Mr.. Dumont has
sailed without making his trip. as all
the preparations for 1t have been prac-
tically made" he said. TT was only
yesterday that Mr.. Dumont told me to
order the hydrogen gas with which his
balloon was to be inflated and he at all
times seemed TO be most enthusiastic
over the trip. The only loser in this case
will be the Aero club. The men who
made this offer have spent quite a sum
of money in the preparations for Mr.. Du-
mont's trip.

BANKS MUST PAY MORE TAXES
Revenue Bureau Will Collect Them
on Undivided Profits and Loss
Ace0nnfa

Washington, August H.-Commissioner
Yerkes, of the internal revenue bureau.
has directed that immediate steps be
taken for the collection of the taxation
o. profit and loss accounts or undivided
profits. accounts of banks. trust com
panies or private banks under the war
revenue act of June. 1898. The amount
to be collected will approximate. it is
said. 1896, goo.
Under an opinion OF the department OF
justice the tax had only been collected
on the capital and surplus of banks but
the commissioner ruled last January that
the undivided profit. or profit and loss
accounts OF banks are part of the surplus
and thereby subject to tax. After this
ruling was made, by request of represen-
tatives of the banks. the commissioner
agreed on January q last. to withhold
collection pending a decision by the Unit
ed States circuit court in a suit to be
brought to test the question. This suit
was brought in the southern district of
New York by the Leather Manufactur-
ers' National bank OF New York and
to the banks, the court sustaining the
position taken by the commissioner. Mr..
James Forgan. president OF the First
National bank Of Chicago. was the chair
man of the committee representing the
banks that called upon the commissioner
last January protesting against the col
lection of this tax. on January q, last.
the commissioner wrote him that while
he would require the banks. trust COM
panies and others interested to make re-
turns at once TO the department showing
their undivided profit or profit and loss
accounts. he would withhold collection
until a decision secured in the United
States circuit court but said distinctly in
this letter that il the court held that
under the law. undivided profits are a
proper subject for taxation, then pay
ment of the tax would be enforced not
withstanding an appeal might be taken
by the banks TO the supreme court. This
tax was repealed by the last congress,
the repeal to take effect July I. 1902 so
that at present there is no internal
revenue tax on capital. surplus or undi-
vided profits OF banks. The tax 70 be
collected will be for the year ending July

which brought him and Judge Lobden
from Leoti, was nearly an hour late, and
it was after o'clock when they entered

however, and listened attentively to
Judge Lobdels remarks to the speech of
Mr.. Long. The entire county was repre-
scented at the meeting.
Scott county has something like <25
voters and the majority of them are Re

Especial Correspondence of the Eage)
Dighton. Kan. August I4.-Here in Lane
county. the home Of two of Governor
stanley's appointees. who, despite the
fact that they were years ago good
friends OF Mr.. Long, are yet under obli-
cations to Governor Stanley; where Mr..
Longs friends recently captured nomi-
nee for the legislature from these two
Stanley men, the Seventh district repre-
sentative yesterday held the largest meet
ing ne ever had in the county.
The county convention was held here
a couple of years ago 1t was not that
Charles E. Lobdell and John S. Simmons
have lost their influence in their own
county, that they failed to nominate their
own nominee for the legislature. 1t was
not particularly because they were out
generated, for these two men have long
been in shortgrass politics and know
every turn in the road. But il was the
sentiment predominatius IN the county
that Chester I. Long had made a good
representative; a national reputation; had
attended to their wants faithfully for
ten years; had regularly visited them
and that now. if he wanted promition;
wished to get to the United States SEN
ate, they were for him. 1t was this that
nominated S. L. Filson for representative.
who, if elected viii cast his vote in the
Republican senatorial caucus next winter
for Chester I Long.
In all the years that Mr. Long has been
campaigning this country. Charles E.
Lobden has been his friend. Lobdell was
one OF the first men the young candidate
for representative from the Seventh met
when he came out here seeking votes to
nominate him ten years ago. and ever
since on his biennial campaigns. The
clever young shoFtgrass leader has
always been faithful to Long-and Long
to Lobdell. 1t was the same way with
John Simmons. But Governor Stanley
made Lobdell a judge. and simmons sup
erintendent of the Hutchinson reforma-
tory, and both being honorable men, re-
spected the obligation and tried 10 secure
from their own county a representative
who should be for the governor for Unit
ed States senator. The battle was fought
ont in the county convention recently
It lasted eight ballots, and then s L.
Filson won over the Lobdell- Simomns
candidate.
