Ex-Sherifl' Gardner is cut in an ex.
hauslion statement of the financial
condition of the county and a fall and
complete account OF the relations of the
Sherifi's office TO the matter. AS our
space is limited and we having cover
ed the whole ground in our editorial in
our last Issue we have omitted the
same. Mr.. Gardner shows clearly the
true condition of affairs and lays the
responsibility where it belongs. He
shows how the county court persisted
in issuing orders on the sheriff far in
excess of the levy and against the ear
nest advance of the sheriff and prose-
cutting attorney who warned the court
on numerous occasions. He shows how
he accommodated the court by lend
ing the court money some times to the
amount Of of $4,000. He denies the
statement that he promised to carry
the debt indefinitely He promised to
take up the orders issued by the court
to contractor Westenhaver, and car FRIED
beyond the term Of his his office. Ger
tainly the court could not expect him
10 carry the debt longer and he will
OF be blamed by the public for pre-
,~ntlng his order and getting his IN oney
Mr.. Gardner also says that there has
ueen no dithoDe-ty connected with
county matters and that Includes the
contracts for the rebuilding of the court
house. That the court house did not
cost more than it is worth, that it was
certainly badly needed and that the
whole difficulty in our county finances
is due TO bad management alone.
Mr.. Gardner makes his statement
in clear, candid manner that con-
vinces the reader of the honesty of his
purpose and he clearly places the re-
sponsib slity where it belongs and
shows thatthe sherin7s office is clear OF
all blame.

The County court maintains an ON
nious silence during these troubulous
time Of financial shortness and turned
down orders. 1t gives ademocrst some
satisfaction when he considers how the
last democratic court was abus ed about
shortness of finances when there really
was no shortness but because the
court was making Improvements and
giving the people something for their
money. We ask the taxpayers OF the
county to compare the work of the
democratic court with the work of the
present court. Consider the good roads
made by the democratic court, the
bridges and machinery for making
good roads and then compare what
the present court has done for the coun-
ty in the past two years and see the
difference. There WAS no complaint of
the taxes being too high during the
term Of the democratic court because
the taxpayers could see that the court
was giving them something for their
money. What has the present court
done to the roads, is a question every
taxpayer is asking. The public roads
are almost impossible. Many If the
farmers have been kept In for weeks at
a time this winter because of the snow
drifts in the road and no arrangements
for getting the roads opened.

The development of wheat growing

home consumption of this &C.
