BOND ISSUE
County Commissioners Authorize
Election on May Path

for a special election to be held on
May oath to vote upon the propo-
sition to bond Meagher county in
the sum of 100000, the proceeds
of the sale of such bonds to be
used in the erection of new court
house. While an inkling of the
proceedings of the last meeting of
the county commissioners had
reached the ears of the public, the
notice above referred to is the
first official announcement that
the commissioners have embarked
upon an era of frenzied finance.
The entire proceedings are of such
ludicrous nature that it hardly
permits of candid and impartial
consideration, and were it not an
insult to the intelligence of the
taxpayers of this county to at
tempt to saddle such burden
upon them at the present time,
we would give this question only
passing notice. But as the favor
able result of this election would
impare a burden that will stare
every taxpayer in the face for a
quarter of a century, it behooves
us to consider this matter some
what in detail. We are confront
ed with the following questions:
1. Does Meagher county need a
new court house?
2. If it does, does it need a
500, 900 building9
3. Under financial conditions, is
it wise to add additional burdens?
Returning to our first question,
we have at present court house
that has served the demands and
needs of this county for almost
thirty years. building that has
served when the county was double
it's present area, and transacted
many times the amount.of legal
business that goes through the
district court in this county at the
present time. If our memory
serves us correctly, there was only
one jury term of court during 1910.
But the commissioners tell us we
need more office room, that the
clerk and recorder needs addi-
tional space in his office: that the
county attorney and the county
surveyor are compelled to office
outside the court house. In an
swer to this, we would simply
suggest that if the county is going
to permit private abstracting firms
to conduct their business entirely
within the office of the clerk and
recorder, then probably he needs
more room. AS to the county at.
torney and surveyor, every tax
payer in this county knows that
each of them spend the greater
part of their time doing private
work. There would be about as
much propriety in the county
housing every surveyor and attor-
ney in the county, as there is
in spending 100000 of the peo-
ple's money in providing luxurious
offices for these two overworked
gentlemen.
Toour second question, we would
simply say that we challenge the
board of county commissioners to
demonstrate to the people of this
county where, if we had no court
house at all, there is any need OF
any demand for such an expendit-
ure when the demand for new
court house does not really exist.
Fifty thousand dollars would con
struct building thai would meet
all needs for generation.
To our third question, is it wise
and businesslike, under the pres
ent financial depression, to place
an unnecessary burden upon thu
people of this county. We are il

The People VS.. The County
Commissioners.

We charge you with attempting
to foster a burden upon us without
either our consent or our advice,
and when there is not even an ap-
parent demand. Guilty" will be
the unanimous verdict rendered
by the voters of Meagher county
May oath.

Rev. j. L. Keller, one OF the state

spent Friday night in this city and
left Saturday morning for Springer
where he will engage In holding a
protracted meeting for the next two
weeks. Rev. Keller Is one Of the
most forceful preachers in Oklahoma
and the Springer people are fortl-
nate TO secure him to conduct their
meeting.
When asked If the state board of
missions would continue him in the
field the coming year. he said the
board was to have met Thursday In
Oklahoma City, but he had learned
nothing of what action they had TAX
en-. Inasmuch as he made the best
report of any of the missionaries at
the Durant convention, the chances
are that he will be retained in the
field.
