especially where the land Joins
him. Many of those tax certifi-
Gates have been sold to individual
farmers and ranchmen. The
county is not entitled to the 20
per cent hence does not get it.
The insinuation that these GER
tificates have been sold to "fav-
orite political strikers" shows to
what deception some people will
resort to bolster up a lost cause.
There are scores of populist and
democrats in Custer county that
have bought those tax certificates
and in case they were redeemed
collected their 20 per cent as the
law provides they may.
The REPUBLICAN insists that
the action of the board in this
matter has been highly command
able and the county greatly BEN
Gifted.

The Beacon Stlll Gasping for Breath

Don't forget that the republi-
can party in Custer County rails
ed taxes from seven mills on the
dollar to 141a mills. If you fav-
or high taxes, vote the Republi-
can ticket and reap what you
sow. Beacon.
That is indeed interesting but
would be more so if true. The
facts are that during the ten
years the pops predominated in
Custer county the county levy
run as high as Is mills and never
run below IA mills in our recollec-
ton. 1t is true that two years
ago after election when they saw
that the republicans would have
a majority on the board, the board
recinded the levy of IA or Is mills
it had made in July previous and
cut it down to 7 mills and went
to the expense of changing all the
tax books accordingly. They
did for political effect and hoped
1T to embarrass the incoming
board and thus be able to defeat
them at the next election. BY
making vigorous effort large
amount of delinquent tax that had
accumulated on the books while
the pops were IN control was
collected, which enabled the
board to meet all expenses with
out embarrassment.
The republican board has al
ways aimed to make the levy
sufficient to meet the demands of
the county and pay the current
expenses with cash. But a levy
of 141a mills has not been necess-
airy and has not been made by a
republican board. When the last
levy of Is mills was made, last
June 1t was on compromise
with pop members of the board.
The chairman of the committee
estimated that it would require
II mills to meet the expense this
year and build the bridges that
were petitioned for in the several
localities. Conley, one of the
populist members of the board'
insisted on ID mill levy, while
Greenwalt another populist MEM
Der urged that it would require
Is mills. Finally Thorpe yielded
to compromise and the leavy
was made 13 mills of which 4
mills was for bridges. The
bridges were demanded and are
being build. Had the pops been
in power the levy wovld in all
probabilities been II or Is mills
instead of Is mills as it now is.
