THE COUNTY
DIVISION
QUESTION
People of Ebert County
Favor the Division of
the County

Since going to press last week The
Tribune has made very careful study
of the sentiment OF the people regarding
the division OF the county and we can
now truthfully say that the sentiment
Of the people west of Elbert, including
the strip Of Douglas county, also those
to the south, taking in Eastonville and
Bijou basin, as well as the entire east
end of the county, which includes the
Fondis precinct, are almost unanimously
in favor of county division. And why
should they not be? Just think OF the
distance the east end people are from the
county seat and no means Of railway com
munication! That section of the county
is fast becoming thickly settled and they
complain that they do not derive as
much benefit from their taxes as do
those localities nearer the county center.
We find, however, few people who
are opposed to the division--people who
have been misled by certain politicians,
working for their own personal interests,
on plea Of higher taxes. Now, this Is
oho uttctiy ii0iCutoa1s lbf
when have taxes ever been higher than
they are now? The proposed division
of Elbert county takes in a strip Of
Douglas and Ell Paso counties and gives
away a strip Of the east end. This
would be the means of making taxable
property more uniform and would ma
terially reduce the expenses OF maintain
ing the county organization. There
would be less road work, less bridges to
build and repair, in fact, less expense in
every way and more taxable property.
We understand that a committee Of
three we're sent from Kiowa to Denver
to appear before the committee on coun
ty lines and boundaries to fight the ID
bert county division proposition. Does
this committee appear to the people OF
Elbert county as truly representative
committee, expressing the sentiment OF
all the people? 1t seems to us that this
committee represents the little town Of
kiowa and not the whole county.
