Raised Water Rent.

The city council ct its meeting Mon
day night raised water rent 25 per cent.
1t is estimated that this will increase
the revenue about $500 which will jus e
about cover the deficit in the rentaS
fund from year to year. The rents hav'.
not been sufficient to maintain the Wa
ter works system. They expect to give
earlier and later hours and other
wise improve the service. They
will not find the solution, however,
until they abandon the ditch.

To Submit it to the People.

About forty or fifty of some of our
heaviest taxpayers met at the court
house on Saturday to consider ways
and means of experimenting for gas,
oils and minerals on the poor farm.
There was a sentiment in favor of ask
ing the commissioners to make an ap-
preparation from the county treasury
for that purpose but after 1T was looked
into 1t was discovered that the com.
missioners had no authority to do so
before first submitting the question to
the people. 1t was then agreed that
petitions should be drawn up and sign
ed asking the commissioners to submit
the question at the election IN May.
The meeting has pursued the proper
course. This matter is rlghtfully
matter to be passed upon by the people
Of the entire county. When they have
decided, it will be satisfactory and no
one will have any reason to censure
anybody.

The entertainment given by the Roy

Don't Appreciate a Band.

It seems that the men of Medicine
Lodge do not appr eciate band. That
Is the conclusion We draw from the
way the band boys are getting the cold
shoulder every time they try to raise
funds to carry on the work. At tho
box supper Saturday night there
weren't more than about a half dozen
men present and many boxes were &C.
tually bought and paid for by the en-
terprlsing ladies who know that town
that has no band Is back number.
The supper was given for the purpose
OF raising funds to buy uniforms and
perhaps other things necessary to main.
tain acreditable band.
Tie boys are doing excsllent. They
have so far received no encouragement
from the citizens Of the town and we
think they are entitled to some assist
ance. We do not think our people are
Intentionally treating the matter with
indifference and we simply desire to
use the Saturday night incident to re-
mind them that they ought to wake up.
Other towns support a band. Why
can't Medicine Lodge?

The city council will distribute public
patronage the first meeting night in May.
In the matter OF city printing the Index
believes that it should be given to
the lowest bidder. During the past
two years the republican paper got 1T at
good rate, but the Mayor himself, as
representative of this county had a law
passed making it compulsory to submit
the county printing to bids. The same
rule should be followed by the city.

Another Battle Fought.

After something less than 100 rounds
in free-for. all last Friday the Index
was designated the official county pa
per by the board of county COM
missiOners. There were only two bids
the Index and the Cresset. On legal
publications the Cresset was 4 to go per
cent lower than the Index while on Job
work the Index was from 30 To $50 per
cent lower than the Cresset. On the
whole the county printing under the
present arrangement will cost the coun-
ty about five or ten per cent of what it
has cost the past year.
The Index will make nothing out of
1T and about the only consolation we
get Is to down the republican machine
II their attempt to capture it after
having stolen the Office from us after
having been elected in a fair and open
campaign. We suppose they will con-
tend, of course, that their bid was the
lowest but that is simply wind. The
Cresset's bid was made in such a way
that in many instances, If it had gotten
the contract IL could have virtually fix
ed its own prices.
Commissioners Grouse and Lake vot-
ed for the Index. Commissioner Wads-
worth did not vote at all. He said he
couldn't figure out which was the best
bid. Thus endeth another county
printing chapter. The Index is the
loser in dollars and the taxpayers of
Barber county get the benefits though
we believe it the matter could be sub.
mitted to the people they would decide
that tho county printer should be per-
mitted to serve out his term of office.
The respective bids were as follows:
