Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-06-18
WHAT IS DEMOCRATIC?

The democrats who voted against
free lumber have
Voted to repudiate the national
platform of the democratic party;
Voted to encourage the destruction
Of our forests;
Voted to raise the price of one OF
the chief necessaries of life;
: Voted to tax material that enters
into a multitude of industries, and
thus to place an unnecessary burden
upon these industries;
Voted to tax the people of the
whole country for the benefit of O
comparatively few owners of timber
lands; and
Voted to tax a majority of then
own constituents for the benefit of 2
minority of those constituents.
To cast such a vote a democrat
must have arguments that have not
yet been given to the public, and must
De prepared TO present these argll'
ments to his constituents.
The COmmOner will give space (ur
to two thousand Words to any dem.
Ocratic senator or member of congress
who desires to present an argument il
favor Of a duty on lumber, provided
he will in his article answer the
following questions:
First, is-a platform binding?
Second, is it wise to encourage the
devastation of our forests9
Third, will the country as a whole
, be benefited by tariff on lumber
and if so, how?
Fourth, how many of his eonstit.
uents produce lumber, as compared
with the number of his constituents
who use lumber?
Fifth, will he give the names of tn,
men who have by letter or in person
urged him to vote for the tariff OIL
lamber?
The COmmOner also invites brie1
letters from constituents who eithel
approve of or condemn the votes cas-
by their democratic senators or con
gressmen. The Commoner believe.
that the democratic senators and mem
bers of congress who voted agains
free lumber have greatly embarrassed
the democratic party, greatly strength
ened the republican party, and griev
ously wrOnged their constituents
But it is the desire of the Commone
to do justice to all, and it thus offer
space to both sides that the reader
may judge for themselves after read
ing the arguments presented.
The democratic platform adOpte,
by unanimous vote at Denver las
July, contains the following taril
plank:
"We welcome the belated promiS
OF tariff reform now offered by III
republican party as tardy recogni
ton of the righteousness of the dem
seratic position on this question. Blu
the people can not safely entrust th
execution of this important work to
party which is so deeply obligated t
the highly protected interests as
the republican party. We call atten
ton to the significant fact that tn
promised relief is postponed unit

PLAYED POLITICS.
How State Official Acted on the
Seed Grain Loan.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 20, 19Os:-
There has been good deal of talk
about the reputation by Stevens
county of seed grain loans made to
the State. Evidently politics are
more or less mixed up with the
charges. As I understand the matter,
there never was any public sentiment
in Stevens county against the county's
paying its obligations. The only ques-
tion raised was as to the way the
county officials could pay the loan
without making themselves or their
bondsmen liable in case some person
undertook to bring suit; for the loan
was only moral and not legal OBJ
legation as against the county. I learn
that the question as to how the coun-
ty officials could legally pay the loan
without incurring personal RESPONSE
bility was submitted to the attorney
general, but while he read his corre-
spondents very instructive moral
lecture, he failed to suggest any prac-
tical solution of the problem.

fair now that have intimated what a
wicked man John Furlong is. The
secretary's salary, it will be remem-
bered, was raised some time ago from
$500 to $1,000 a year. Really what
with house rent and other perquisites
its as good as $1,000 or more. But
there had to be big fight put up to
keep it down to $1,000. Cosgrove, so
I am told, had all the pins put up to
have the salary fixed at Sc, 900 year,
and would have got it too if it hadn't
been that the insurgents got together
in the interest of economy.
At least one good thing is likely to
result, and that is to direct attention
to the inadequate premium list. am
told that there are county fairs that
offer higher premiums along some ag-
ricultural lines. The premiums need
ed are such as farmers may compete
for, rather than stock breeders. These,
especially for fat cattle men, are rea-
sonably well taken care of. It is the
genuine agriculturist, the dairyman,
the orchardist, the man who grows
small fruit and vegetables, who should
be taken care of. In some lines, as
side shows, vaudeville entertainments
and grandstand displays, the sentiment
is practically universal that the limit
has been reached. The management,
whatever the outcome of the present
will be very blind if next
year they don't see the advisability
of improving the fairs educational
features.
Morris tribune., 1909-12-24

of these categories, it is contended
that that let's him out. However, the
terms of the law disqualifying him are
explicit enough, and that is what most
people will go by.
Morris tribune., 1909-12-24

Later the question was submitted
to the public examiners department.
as to what action it would take in
case the officials used county funds
to pay the debt. The reply was
that the department. would be gov.
erned entirely by the advice of the
attorney general, and in the answer
was Incorporated another moral Leo
ture, bntno advice of a practical kind.
This left the officials in the air, and
they were obliged to rely upon their
own ingenuity to find way out.
Morris tribune., 1909-12-24

The fact of the matter is that the
decision in the so-called s'pork- barrel"
case and other judicial opinions dem
onstrate that State officials have for
some time been skating on pretty
thin ice. In that decision it will be
remembered that the supreme court
declared the appropriation for roads
and bridges in the pork barrel bill of
1909 was an unconstitutional grant of
money, and the officials were enjoin-
ed from disbursing it. If the 1909 road
and bridge bill was unconstitutional
so was the road and bridge bill of
1907, and the money disbursed by
the officials under its provisions was
paid out without authority of law.
That being the case, it is plain that
the State officials are at least techni-
cally liable for the money improperly
paid . liability which it would not,
be a difficult matter to make embar-
RAISING. Naturally, therefore, when
Morris tribune., 1909-12-24

application is being made to them for
State funds, they are going to DO
pretty sure that it's all right to letsgo
of them.
Morris tribune., 1909-12-24


What has been done as understand
the matter now has been first to hold
meetings in each commissioner dis
triet in the county. In every case the
sentiment at these meetings has been
for paying the debt which had been
incurred, and resolutions to that effect
were adopted. Acting in compliance
with public sentiment so expressed,
the commissioners have taken the pre-
liminary steps necessary to the levy
ing Of a special tax to discharge this
special obligation. It is thought that
money SO raised may legally be paid
the State and Stevens county's obli-
cations discharged without embar-
RAISING anyone.

In the meantime ditch loan asked
for by Stevens county has been post
poned, ostensibly to bring pressure to
bear on Stevens county to compel it
to dig up for the old debt. There is,
however, an intimation that this os-
tensible purpose was mere pretext,
and that what really prevented the
State from making the loan was that
there was some doubt as to the legal
ity of such an obligation as ditch
loan as against the county. There
have been court decisions that indi-
cate that a ditch loan is not the SAT-
est kind of an Investment for the
States trust funds, and the State of
ficials interested are beginning to in
quire whether they have not gone as
far in this direction as they safely
may.
