Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-01-14

THERE are one or two so-called
stalwart papers who are attempting
to establish the claim that the pro
gressive administration in this state
has been more expensive than stall
wart administration An instance cit
ed by them is the expense paid for
the two different capital commissions
on their visit to the Montana capital.
They take reports from the two state
auditors as follows:
Report 1906: "July 3, 1905, j. F.
Halliday, expense capital commission
to Montana, Sl28.
Report 1909: September IL, 1908,
John Herring, money advanced for
trip of capital commission to Mon
tana, $4l2.67,
Now, that looks good from the
stalwart point of view. But it occurs
to us that an important piece of in
formation in connection with this
matter has been omitted, and to this
omission is due the apparent differ
ence in the expense When the first
commission went to Montana every
member travelled on a pass. When
the second commission made the
same trip every man had to pay the
regular passenger fare. Sometimes
the greatest deception is accomplish
ed by saying nothing, and this seems
to be one of the times.

The Guggenheims are interested in
Alaska property and want more rail
roads in that territory. To this end
the the government is asked TO guarantee
interest on bonds to be issued against
railroads to be built in Alaska. In
the light of past events it hardly
seems probable that congress will
dare to add this extra burden to that
the people already have to bear.

Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-01-14

The president has fired Chief
Forester Pinchot from the service.
This is the result of controversy
between Pinchot and Ballinger which
grew to considerable proportions, and
which the president at one time was
forced to recognize and investigate
with the result that Ballinger was
vindicated by the president. Pinchot
was Ballinger's subordinate and the
system demanded that Pinchot be
disciplined for the good of the ser
vice. The rebuke administered to
Pinchot was mild. But he is an
enthusiast and high strung and did
not know how to temper his enthusi-
as,n with Judgment. He has appear
ed in public print, and recently was
the author of letter which Dolliver
read in the senate last week. This
letter was of character that the
president could not ignore it, and
consequently fred him. For this act
no blame can attach to President
Taft. On the other hand. Pinchot is
honest in the stand he has taken, and
vindication of Ballinger by the presi-
dent was matter that he could not
overlook. In the matter of the Bal
iinger investigation IL is the belief OF
a large portion of the people that the
president was too hasty and that had
he made more thorough investiga-
tion the result would have been diff.
ferent. The whole affair is a nasty
mess, and cannot be regarded other
than unfortunate by both sides of the
controversy. The people have lost a
faithful and Jealous servant in Pinchot
and the president is hampered and
annoyed by the unpleasant features
of it, and his administration tainted
by scandal whether we'll founded, on
without foundation at all. The end
is not yet, for one such affair always
leads to more troSble of one kind o.
another. 1t is unfortunate that the

DEAR SIR:
Your letter Of October 10 in
which you PROFOUND certain
questions has boon received. !
note also that it has received
considerable publicity thru the
columns of the Okanogan Record
and have had my attention called
to several copies Of it with which
you have favored the voters Of
the county. | take pleasure in
answering your questions and
trurt that you will use the same
diligence in giving this publicity
that you have used in regard to
your questions. Assuming that
your questions are asked in good
faith for the purpose Of securing
information for yourself and the
voters of Okanogan County |
can hardly expect less. Taking
up your questions in their order
| will refer first to Number /,
District No. | is entitled to
eXpend SIS, 9OO.66 from taxation
and other sources within this
district. One thousand dollars
of the entire expenditure within
my district was for repairs on
the Riverside bridge, which sum
was reimbursed to the district at
the last meeting of the commits
SiOnerS from the road and bridge
fund. Fully thirty five hundred
dollars of the expence of my
district is due to the fact that
the former commissioners waived
all rights for damages caused by
construction of bitches across
the roads on the Government
Irrigation project, making it
necessary to build bridges and
symptoms wherever the bitches
cross county roads. The road
around the reservoir was made
necessary by the same action of
the former county board. !
have also bought S1633 IS worth
of tools and galvanized iron cul-
verts, all of which | believe is
good permanent investment for
the county. These and other cX-
penditures in district No. | were
paid for from the districts Sepa
rate fund and no part Of the
funds of Districts . and have
been nor can be expended in Dis
trict No /, which your lawyer,
evidently, did not know. The
form Of your question is such
that, Intentionally or otherwise,
it is calculated to miSlead the
tax payers of this and the other
districts.
Number >. The only founda-
ton for your statement in QucS-
ton number two was OccaSiOncd
by the remark Of the one pros
pective builder, that it was worth
six hundred dollars to build the
road, and inquiry revealed the
fact that his responsibility was
not such as would have justified
the letting of the contract to-
him at any price. AS the board
had been notified by the Govern
ment engineers the first Of oct
ODER that they would commence
to fill the reservoir and have the
old road covered with water in
the spring, Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Britain both advised me to put
supervisor on and do the work
as soon as possible. | believe
that this road was constructed at
reasonable cost and am willing
to submit the question to any
competant engineer, and will pay
the cost of such examination if
he decides otherwise. OF course
you will be willing to pay for his
