A circular recently distributed
in the north and east end of the
county and signed by the Judith
Gap Commercial Club, and by it's
executive committee, S. j. Small,
G. r. Stone and George Haynes has
just been brought to our notice.
To say the least this paper is
dumbfounded to find that men
with reputable standing in their
own community will attach their
signatures to statements that fair
" hustle with every thing but the
truth. We believe in the fullest
expression of opinions. We vel
come a good fight when conducted
sanely, but we can entertain but
two propositions regarding this
circular-that these gentlemen
were either ignorant of the facts
when they affixed their signatures
to the circulars, or they are vainiy
attempting to mislead the voters
in this end of the county. We are
inclined to the former. for we cam
not conceive that there are men: men
in this county who SO thoroughly
hold in contempt the truth, that
they would circulate such stutt
and expect men that have only
mere slight acquaintance with the
ordinary affairs of county admin
ist1ation to believe it. AS a mat
ter of information to those that
might be influenced by statements
contained in the circular we feel
it necessary to refer to some Of the
most flagrant. For instance 1T is
stated that the present b071d-
ed Indebtedness of Me0gher
County is $1OO,000, with
enough money in the s171h-
i;2g fund of the county to
pay this Indebtedness.
The financial statement Of Mea.
CHER county, dated Nov. 80, 1911,
0fter the taxes 11ere pr1ct1-
cnzzy azl in, shows that the
bonded debt Wns $A5, ,5OO;|
warrants outstanding, Sz1,-
1885,; accrued interest on
bonds, $95O.O0;; interest on
county 1Unrrn7ots, $1O3.OO;;
n1azcing a total Of $751;
1880, total debt, an in
crease of $9,6z949 during
the uenr 1911. This same
statement also sh0Wed that
there zvns in the sinking
fund the nlz171i7ice7lt sum OF
$7,O1z Of. Careful reader does
this look like there was enough in
the sinking fund to take care of
the indebtedness? Does it look as
though old Meagher was getting
out of the hole with all her in
creased wealths
STATEMENT NO. ?.
It will cost the new county from
$3OO,OOO to 100000 to become Or
ganized and in running order. Let
us cite some precedents: Tt cost
Musselshell county $93,183.85 for
organization and running expenses
The Harlowton news. [volume] (Harlowton, Mont.) 1909-1914, 1912-03-22

raise $91,OO1. From sources other
than taxation, such as fines, Ii
censes, and county fees, we would
receive $20,NeO, making total in
come of $111,OO1, or a balance.
above expenses Of $11,864. We
can reduce our levy to Is mills and
still be $1,158 to, the good.
@ POTENT POINTS.
Have we placed our estimates of
expenses too low? At the end of
last year Meagher county had as
follows in the various funds:
General $2O,52S
Contingent 14,552
Road ".@A" ".E 1910
Bridge 2,8O8
Total 57,O11
The new county will have in
these five funds $4,000 or 80
per cent, while we are less than
onc-half the area of Meagher conn-
ty, and 60 percent of the valuation.
Space forbids the further sub.
of statistics on the subject
Of county division. In conclusion
we will state that we have striven
to present uncontradicted facts,
and no attempt has been made to
delude the voters of this county as
is so obvious in the circular dis
tributed by the Judith Gap Com
club.

A Few Facts and Figures That Cannot be
Truthfu||y Contradicted. A Common
Bunco Game That Will Be Repud- .
lated By All Thinking People

y MI 'l|'IIkIIlY
for the first ten months Of it's ex.
istence; $31, 500 was for segregat
ing, comparing the records and
purchasing county record books.
The cost of organizing Sanders,
one Of Montana's new counties,
was $15, 900. Sweet Grass, a neigh
boring county, was much less. 1t
is further said that we will have
to assume from other counties a
debt of 100000. The total bond
ed debt of Meagher, Sweet Grass
and Musselshell counties is $242,-
900. We take about one-ffth of
the total valuation of these three
connties, consequently it would be
impossible for us to assume more
than one-ffth of the bonded in
debtedness which is $48,4OO. But
we receive the same proportionate
amounts that are in the treas
uries of these various counties,
which upon an equitable settle
ment with the mother counties,
will give us a cash balance Of
sSS1 900, instead of a 100000 de.
fcit, as our Gap friends would
have us believe.
Again we are told that in order
to raise the valuation of the new
county to the $5,OOO,OOO mark,
the probabilities are that the
valuation on farm lands has been
raised from $6 per acre to $40 or
1926 per acre. Every man in
Meagher county with average in
telligence knows that the valua-
tion of the new county is taken
from the assessment books of 1911.
We confidently expect to see the
valuation nearer $6,0OO,O0O than
SIS, 100000 after the 1912 tax books
are made up, this increase on per
sonal property alone.
We are told that the special
election will cost $4,000, and that
every signer to the petition for di-
vision will be liable for the amount.
A bigger absurdity never crept
into print. Tt cost Meagher coun-
ty $25O0 to hold the election for
new court house, covering a terri
tory of 5000 square miles, and 10
voting precincts. The new county
will contain 1000 square miles and
ten voting precincts. DO you
think it Will cost $4,000?
There is no relation whatever be-
tween the signers of the petition
and the signers of the bonds to
guarantee the expenses of the cleo
tion. This was scheme originat-
ed by the Judith Gap people re-
garding the strip to be taken from
Fergus county and was suggested
that it would be sure to bind the
signers if they were requested also
to sign the bond. Referring back
it is stated that Meagher county
raises 100000 on a valuation o1
$7,OOO,OOO. The 1911 county state
ment shows that the county valu
alton was S8,376,464, and that the
county received from taxes the
The Harlowton news. [volume] (Harlowton, Mont.) 1909-1914, 1912-03-22

CUpIC
sum Of $141, ,613.
To sum up, we find that the
bonded Indebtedness of MeagheI
county is a little more than hall
as much as stated in the cir.
cular, with very little in the
sinking fund to meet it. That
Meagher county has a valuation Of
E$8,376,O0O, instead of 81, ,OOO, 900.
That instead Of costing $500, 900 ia
100000 to organize the county.
We could take Musselshell as a
precedent and organize for 31,5OO.
The majority Of the counties in
the state have organized for half
this amount. That instead of as
suming a bonded Indebtedness Of
100000, we will start with a cash
balance of over $4,000. That in
stead of increasing our valuation 3
Or 4 times to get $5,OOO,OOO we are
taking the assessment of 1911.
That instead of costing $4,000 to
hold a special election, we will
probably hold it for $3.50 OF
$1,000 and that the signers to the
petitions are i'll no sense liable for
the expense. But we will be told
that we have not considered the
building and furnishing of a court
house and the running expenses of
the county for the first year. TO
the first we answer that the men
most vitality interested in the
creation of a new county, and those
that will contribute the largest
amounts in the way of taxes to it's
support, have gone on record as
opposing the erection of county
buildings for at least four or five
years. To the second proposition
we submit the following figures
and invite both your attention and
comparisons with counties of like
size and valuation in the state:
General Fund S $4,000
Contingent 10000
Road 10000
Bridge 1000
Poor 1000
General School 21,412
State 14,725
Total $81, ,137
To the above we would add:
Transcribing and comparing
records for new county $4,000
Blank record books 1000
Office fixtures and furniture $500
Rent for county buildings $500
Total $4,000
Making a grand total of $780,
1877 expense Of organizing and con-
Quoting the county expense for the
first year.
Now to quote we will draw
another picture, for the sake of
argument, we will assume that it
will take II mill levy for state
and county purposes, as against
Is, the present rate in Meagher
county. Upon SIS, $4,000 the val
uation of the new county based
upon the 1911 assessment we would

HOW THEY VOTED

The average voter probably votes straight That is he for his party rather than for it's can dates That the voting machines provocative of straight voting than the ballot is not shown
 A slight scrutiny of election returns voting chimes will show wide differences in the given various candidates
 These differences are not consistent with the idea that the machine taies straight vote.
 The machines do however, differ from the ballot in this particular The ballot is scratched, pasted and the marks, the paster, visible to the eye But scratching the voting machine visible the totals, where it exists simply the difference be- the total vote cast candidate and the total vote cast for other candidate
 In the last election for instance special efforts Bridgeport to help the election of Mr.. Hill to Congress- and special efforts made to defeat Wilson and McMurray, candidates for the General As semby.
 But the other hand many clements in the popula- tion desrous that Mr. Hill should not be elected and that Messrs. Wilson and McMurray should not be de- feated.
 It is reasonable to suppose and there is some evi- Bridgeport often as thousand tnes and cut'' even more frequently.
 On the ballot this operation would have been visible Republican ballots would have in with Mr. Hills covered with little pink slip. Ballots of other ties would have presented the pink slip but the names of Mr. Hills opponents.
 Exactly the phenomena presented in the voting machines but it not visible in the way the counters Not all manipulation of the ballot is whole The ballot in Bridgeport earlier days gave too much power to the political workers.
 As between the voting machine and the Australian ballot of the type in Connecticut the facility afforded to the voter for the ticket of his choice equal Perhaps the machine presents fewer difficulties to the man who has once used it.
