TREASURER HAWLEY FILES
STATEMENT OF TAX ROLLS
OF LAST YEAR.
Little Over Seven Thousand Dollars on
the Delinquent List-ExceIIent
Showing Made.

Treasurer P. B. Hawley today filed
with Auditor Boneycutt a statement
of the tax rolls for 1904, showing that
at the close of business December 81
there remained uncollected out of the
total tax levy of 1857 ,43520 but
$7613.25. The amount remaining un-
collected is some larger than last year
but this is accounted for by the fact
that the Northern Pacific railroad has
yet failed to pay it's 1904 taxes. Had
the railroad company paid it's taxes the
treasurer's office would have begun the

Three Years ago, attention was
called to u, S matter by The
Logan Nucleus ana at that
time the Board of supery isors
asked Ogden to fl e all tho Sc
Statements with the County
Auditor.
The County Attorney, Fallon,
was called in and advised the
Board of Supervisors and Treas
urer Ogden that these State
ments were PUBLIC DOCU-
MENTS, as much so as any
PAPER or BOOK OF RECORD
in the Court House, but Ogden
Refused to file the Statements
with the County Auditor, de-
claring they were his own pri-
vate property and no one else
had any business with them.
WHY?
Read the Resolution carefully
and you will readily under
stand why these State ments
might be of very great inn
portance to the Tax payers of 81
County, and if they are of inn
norta7ce, they are the BUSI-
NESS Of every citizen of the
County. Ask Mr.. O yden why
he refused to file these State
ments. Ask the County Auditor,
the members of the Board of
Supervisors and the County
Attorney whether these docu-
ments are not of Importance
and are not Public Documents.
We are informed that the
Board of Supervisors will COM
pel Treasurer Ogden to file all
these missing Statements with
The County Auditor. if they
have not in the mean time been
lost or destroyed.
E F. Ogden mas been Treas
urer for Five Years. If you
are MOI in favor of any one
man holding the office of Coun-
ty Treasurer for more than
two consecutive terms, VOTE
for j. F. Wood, the Democratic
Candidate for County Treas
ure1. Tax Payer.

ment, duly verified, of his ac-
count with each bank since the

ment shall be upon a blank

The Treasurer shall also be re-

These statements shall be

sl.5O a Yeor; Daily 15c
per week.

The Democratic County Con-
vention this fall has placed be-
tore the Public as a candidate
for County Attorney, Mr..
Frank Tamisiea, of Missouri
Valley. Mr.. Tamisiea was born
and reared in this county. He
attended the public schools of
this city and when quite young
duly qualified himself for a
teacher, and Immediately en-
tered that profession. Later
he attended college at Dixon,
Ill.,, graduating from the Mo-
nal Department then returned
to this county and again re-
sumed his duties as a teacher
in the public schools of the
county. He later attended
and graduated from the Law
Department of the Iowa State
University and Immediately
august 9Th, 1892 entered the
4ctive practice of law in this
city where he has ever since
been actively and continuously
in the practice.
By his friends and clients,
Mr. Tamisiea is considered as
me of the most able and astute
lawyers at this bar. Mr.. Tamil
siea is entitled to the support
If all of the members of his
party, and on account of his
business ability, and honesty,
to the vote and support Of all
persons who have the real in
terest of the county at heart,
regardless of politics.
The voters of this county
can rest assured that in the
event Of Mr.. Tamisiea's cleo
ton that they will have a fear
'ess advocate, and further that
there will be no additional law
yers for the county to hire.
1t Sc ams to us that the good
judgment Of the citizens of
this county would be in rebell-
ion against the continued pay
ment of two county attorneys
at the same time, one elected
by the people. and the other by
the Board of Supervisors in or
der to protect the county's in
terests.
