 For nearly half century Monroe county has been in debt. and only months ago. got out. Nearly every taxpayer in the county knows just how disagreeable it has been to serve the county as jurors witnesses. and then be paid in scrip worth only so cents to 50 cents on the dollar. l There is no doubt about Judge Milwee believing in his ability to plan so that the county will have to pay only $5.c00 year until the debt is paid. If Judge Milvee were going to iremain on the bench all the time, there could be no doubt about 1t. if we are to judge from hts splendid i record of the past at working the coun- ty out of debt.
 l This debt of $50. 900. tho. must bear an interest. and any schoolboy will readily tell you that the interest alone on the S5o, ,oo will run up around the Sl5. 900 or s2o. GOO. and even if we should pay $. 900 year on it. it will take lifetime to pay the debt and the mountain of interest that must accrue.
 l But there is no occasion for argu ing this point now-the appropriation i has been ma6e.
 i It's the way it was made that strikes home. The taxpayers of Monroe county had no thought of such thing. It had not been discussed. It had not been even spoken of. Like a flash of lightning out of clear sky. 1t was paralyzing in Its sudden surpris- ingness. Had if been referred 10 the people. "who pay the freight" and they. given an opportunity of express ing their idea on this " sky-high financierin2.' ir might have been different.
 I It is welI-known fact that the county's finances and indebtedness has been a LIVE ISSUE in nearly every county campaign for the past sixteen years that the writer knows of The people have bsen nightly interested in the matter of the countys indebt- edness, even when the figures wore far smaller than they are in this $5o.Coo coup. therefore 1t Is just a bit unreasonable that they should have been treated as they have been in this case.
 However, the appropriation has been made, the people will pay the price. and Clarendon will see that the Court I House Is built---those Clarendon peo- pie are builders they DO things.
