The cost of the recent session of the legislature was little more than S155, ,000. This includes only the salary of the members, mileage and clerk hire. Can you look over the list of bills passed as published in The Journal last week and figure out where the people got the worth of their money!
The Newark journal., 1909-05-28

Tn all my public career 1 have found no weapon as mighty as a good newspaper that tells the truth and none so harmful as the un- truthful publication. Publicity is the greatest power on earth to check wrong doing. You may fill the penitentiaries with wrong do, CTS, and unless the public is arous. ed there will be no difference in the conduct of affairs, but let the people become awakened to wrong conditions and they can no longer exist" Thus did ex. Governor Folk of Missouri recently voice his conception of the press and its part in upbuilding civic righteous ness.

ABOUT A COURT HOUSE.
Different Tax Payers Express Strong Opinion
Regarding Need ForA New Court House.

The Globe Republican has heart
considerable talk lately regarding thu
need Of q new courthouse in Fort
county. There seems to be chance
now, for loss that would be clos,
perhaps to 100000 to the county
should fire destroy the present court
house. The loss Of records would be
a very expensive thing, and some
OF them could never be replaced
Two prominent men from Spearville
township who were looking over the
county clerks Office, and noticed the
lack Of protection to records, were
very pronounced in their opinions
that something ought to be done al
once. A Bucklin man expressed q
similar opinion recently sat the couri
house
Since the matter has been discussed,
which has been brought about by the
bill introduced in the late legislature,
and vetoed by the governor, a good
many tax payers have suggested to
members OF the board of county com
missioners that an election be called
to vote bonds for building a court
house. The commissioners seem
willing to do this, providing the bonds
would be short time ones, 80 that the
matter could be wiped out in a few
years.
IT is estimated that a court house
and Jail, the Jail to be in enc Of the
upper stories Of the court house build
ing, as is being done great deal in
modern timts, could be put up for
not to exceed $6O,O00. A levy of
about s cents on the $l00. valuation
each year for five years. it is said
would pay for the building. The
county has been reducing its bonded
debt pretty rapidly in the past four
years, the small levy being made for
that purpose cutting it down at the
rate Of from $4,000 to $4,000 per
year.
Those who are interested in the
need for building, should make an
examination OF the situation at the
present court house, and get the
county clerk or some OF the county
officers to show them Just what
chances have to be taken on the
county records now, and what the
loss to the county would be should
there be q fire there. II is q matter
all Of the county shonld be posted on,
and the best way for a person to be-
come posted is to investigate the
matter himself.

Congress allowed the extra 1921
acres and since, the commission has

southwest part of the state. Mr..
Edie has taken the available list and

CLEAN UP ISS IT?
Mayor Says Clean Up, Seems to Mean Il
and has Authority Of Law to Have

"oyVi ooyS viodu W, oooHo u MEAN u
and has Authority Of Law to Have
II Done
In this issue the mayor has a
request" that everybody get busy
cleaning up their yards and alleys.
It is a mild request, and doesn't
mean anything worse than that
there is a law, which gives full
authority to enforce it and that a
failure to enforce it will prevent the
mayor from making good" on the
first step he has taken. You will
not have to consult fortune teller to
get bunch that it will be enforced.
The health laws demand this clean
ing up and it is for the interest Of
all. The right thing to do is to
cheer the mayor (not too loudly or be
might hear you) and get busy on
the yard and alley. A clean town
means a good town; as well as a
healthy town. It is the private
opinion Of the writer that every
corner will be inspected" with a
microscope and all the trash you
have will be checked up at your
place and at the dumping ground

DITCH PARTY HERE


Engineers, Capitalists and Projectors Wont
Over SouIs Ditch First Of the Week.
Engineer Traylof and a party COM
posed Of other engineers and men Of
affairs, visited Dodge City in the in
terest Of the Soule ditch project the
first Of this week. While here they
talked with a number Of the business
men about tho project.
In the party was J. T. Barnett. at.
torney general Of Colorado, A. M.
Eppstein, q Denver capitalist, r. G..
Humphrey, who is engineer for one
Of the big corporations in Colorado.
W. H. Rosecrans, an engineer Of
Chicago, was also with the party. and
was looking the project over carefully
to report to his people in Chicago.
Mr.. Rosecrans, besides being known
as an engineer Of ability, is a son Of
Gen. VIM. Rosecrans.
Mr.. Traylor showed the party over
the territory covered by the ditch, and
some time was spent at Ingalls,, where
basin has been sunk, by which the
theory Of raising the underfow can
be demonstrated.
When this part Of the work 10 com
pleted, and the projectors and present
hackers Of the project, together with
the excellent corps Of engineers, are
satisfied with the outlook, the pro
jectors will proceed to satisfy them
selves as to whether or not water
rights for $4,000 acres Of land along
the ditch are desired by the land
owners. As the contracts they will
want will only require pay for the
water, when The land owners get il,
and as there will be no risk for the
land owners, it is reasonable to sup
pose that it will be q short job to get |
the rights for $4,000 acres taken.

"A BlzzY MAYOR


"0ffIclal Count Made by Council FRIDAY
% Night, and New Mayor Is on Deck
The official count Of ballots cast al
the city election was made by ths
council at d meeting held on last
Friday night. II was a small job
for the council TO handle, as there
was no opposition to the Citizens
ticket and all Of the names on the
ballot were declared elected.
Mayor Gluck was sworn in "a
Office Monday Of this week and will
preside at the meeting to be held
early in May. He is now in the
harness and has the traces adjusted,
the overcheck taken up several holes
and the hold-back raised and
shortened.
The new members Of the city
city council are: First ward, Peter
Mootz; Second ward, J. W. Sidlow;
Third ward, John Miller; Fourth
ward, B. f. Martin. The old
councilmen are: First ward. H.
Juneau; Second ward, DR.. Milton;

Fourth ward, p. M, incl
The city treasurer and treasurer
Of the board Of education are, as
before Fl. N. Kinkead and Chas.
States, and R. w. Evans succeeds
himself as police Judge.
Whatever else the new mayor may
do he will be busy mayor, bizzy.
He is the most active man for short
legged man, in these parts. When
the fire whistle blew last week a
chestnut sorrel hoss and a yaller
wheeled buggy made run parallel
to the hose cart, and the new mayor
made plat Of the location Of the
fire, measured the distance to the
nearest water plug and took strong
squint at the water pressure at the
risk Of getting a ducking, and Gluck
isn't Baptist either. He has pack
ed his head 80 full Of information
about Dodge City since election that
his hat is chuck full Of head and be
is still packing and will be packing.
The Globe e-Republican hopes that
Gluck will make a bully mayor, be-
cause it would hate, awfullY. to find
any fault with him, and it has al
ready prophesied. in rash ante
election prophesy, that he would
give the town a clean, wholesome
administration, and it further be-
fheves that it will be one that is
progressive, and we all know OF a
Mead moral certainty that it will be
aggressive, spelled with four "g's".
