BARBER county has for several years
been enjoying county row over it's
public printing. The latest news is a
suit brought by the county attorney
against the Barber County Index to
recover fees paid that paper for public
printing. Such row is the most sense

good illustration of the lengths to
which local politicians will lead a long

INTEREST ON LOAN
MAY BE REDUCED

According to a cablegram received
from Secretary Carter by Treasurer
Kepoikai yesterday, there would appear
to be a possibility of floating the Ter
ritorial loan in New York at four per
cent. interest. The enabling act of the
Legislature allows this, as it makes the
interest to be eat a rate not more than
five per cent" If the whole loan could
be disposed of at SO with interest at
four per cent, it would mean a net gain
of $4,000 over disposal at par with five
per cent interest in the fifteen years of
maximum life of the bonds. That the
four per cents might be sold at par Is
almost too much to expect. The cable
tended officially, is in the following
words:
CT have closed up matters with Dill
lon. whose fee is one thousand dollars.
The form of bond has been agreed no
on. The engraving has been started.
/ may advise a change of the rate to-
four per cent"
Mr.. Carter is in New York, where he
went last Saturday. His reference to-
the fee Of $1,000 connects with the an-
thority he took hence to employ counsel
in the business OF floating the bonds.
1t would appear he was successful in
retaining the services of Judge Dillon,
who was formerly United States Judge
in the Iowa Circuit and later professor
of real estate and equity in Columbia
University law school. Judge Dillon
has for many years been one of the
leading authorities on corporation and
financial law
