Views About New County

AS mentioned last week, around kco-
Ia considerable is being said about a
new county. They have learned some
facts and we pass them along.
1t is proposed to include SO townships
in the new county. We assume that
the plan is to make the west line of the
county six miles further west than the
west line of Morgan county. This
would make a county practically the
same size as Morgan county.
This territory now pays $500 per
year in taxes. At recent meeting in
keota ii was decided to investigate the
probable cost Of forming and running
II new county as basis to intelligent
action. Mr. |. N. Vik has received a
letter from Mr. Dodder at keota which
tells the result Of that investigation.
They have found that the cost of max.
ing the copy Of the records pertaining
to the lands would be about $500. In
addition to this there would be some
expense to get the bill through the leg
islature snd also to the settlement Of
affairs Of the new county and Weld by
the Commissioners OF both counties.
The cost Of running the new county
is estimated that the cost Of running
the new county would be about Sl5, 900
per year. 1t is also estimated that land
being patented viii a short time double
or even triple our present veyenues at
the present rate.
II Mr.. Dodder has been correctly in
formed and has not overlooked some
considerable item. it would appear to
us that there could be no serious objec-
tion to immediate division. We know
some here have thought that tran
sept Of the necessary records would
cost many times the amount named;
that is matter whicS8Wc should be
able to ascertain with reasonable accu-
racy by examination of the records. 1t
seems to US that 81, 500 is a reasonable
estimate.
The cost of settlement Of affairs be.
tween the old new counties. and secur-
ing the passage of the bill by the legis-
lature. would depend largely on the at
titude of the old county. If the old or
ganization is broad enough to prefer a
friendly county on its border to an un-
satisfied territory and people within, it
would be to the advantage of both sec
tions, The answer to that will be found
in the section about Greeley.
The estimated cost oi renning the
new county we would think plenty low,
hut ( no more improvements were at
tempted on roads and bridges than we
are getting now. it should be possible
The Raymer enterprise., 1912-01-25
o get along with a very small amount

to get along with very small amount
of money.
We understand the Grover paper does
not consider the time ripe for such a
movement.
The Enterprise feels that it will be
well to verify all items and count the
cost before we start. 1t will do no
harm to ascertain all the facts possible
and then determine the course of ac-
ton that will be best.
Whatever is done. we hope to see all
the towns along the Burlington pulling
together. If it is thought best to di-
vide. concerted action is certainly need
ed. If investigation shows that such
movement would better be postponed
to some future day, then concerted ef-
fort for better transportation. and
more recognition of the needs Of this
section on the part of the county au-
thorities.

important Meeting for Ladies

Two movements were launched Sun
day by different ladies' to organize la
dies club of some sort to promote So
ciability and do charitable work. As
the objects were similar and ladies few
both movements merged and all la
dies interested are requested to meet
at the land Office next Saturday after.
noon at 2 o'clock to discuss the plans
for such an organization. All ladies'
invited.
The Raymer enterprise., 1912-01-25

OF communication between the differ
ent sections Whether intended for us
or not, it will do no harm to say that
we believe that in this immediate sec
tion the per centage of those who are
in need of charity is very low-consid-
ering crop conditions and the unusual
season-incredib!y low. So far very
few have acknowledged need and this
has been met by local assistance.
We do not wish by false pride to dis
courage any effort to relieve distress,
but we believe cases of actual suffering
for want Of food or fuel are as rare as
in communities supposedly much more
prosperous. The Injuries of life may
be lacking entirely, but the necessities
are sapplied.
Nor are we going to DENY that the
unfavorable seasons have added to the
burdens of the settlers. But the acts
of Providence we can endure better
than the injustice OF men as manifest
ed in our county government, in the ex-
tortions Of railroads, etc
If the Republican wishes to be just.
as well as charitable to the dry landers
OF this section, We suggest that it
urge the County Commissioners to
pay for the labor put on the bridge
north of Raymer year ago. That
would not he charity, but it would be
just. They might also have the bridge
repaired and made useful instead Of
standing there useless.
1t is not the purpose of The Enter
prise to foment trouble. We realize
that the distance between US it is easy
for each TO get distorted views of the
other TO the disadvantage of both. 1t
will be to the advantage OF both sec
tions to be fair and just. The square
deal is just as essential and wise in the
administration Of the affairs OF Weld
county as in the larger affairs of state
and nation. The Enterprise feels that
in the above matter this section has not
been given square deal. We may al
SO add that petitions from this section
To the County Commissioners have been
ignored in way that has rritated the
people and led them to believe that
there was little disposition on the part
of the commissioners TO treat Us fairly
or even with common courtesy. This
may be wrong impression. We hope
1t is. II it is, it will please us to try
to create a more favorable view at the
earliest moment evidence is presented
to justify such course. Is the Repub-
!ican broad enough TO lend hand? 1t
should be. It could assist very much.
The general fairness of that paper
leads us to believe it will

BURLINGTON REDUCES
FREIGHT RATE ON HAY
immediate Reduction ofnearly
Fifty per cent. Saves More
than Dollar per Ton

The Enterprise has before made crit
cism OF the railway management. It
gives US much more pleasure and salts
faction to report an act of justice (per-
haps We should say generosity on the
part Of that road.
Some two weeks ago the editor of
The Enterprise took it upon himself to
write the Railroad Commissioners of
the state, to see if they could not do
something to relieve settlers in this
section from what appeared 10 US to be
excessive freight rates on hay from
Sterling to this point We confess we
had little hope Of favorable action, but
prompt reply was made and yesterday
a letter was received from the Commits
sioners stating that substantial rcduc-
tions had been secured to 70 into effect
Immediately and to continue until May
lst.
We quote the substance of the letter
as follows:
Referring to your letter. of recent date
we advise that the railway has agreed
to make substantial reduction in rates
on hay from Sterling to points in yorr
district, provided the Railroad Comm;s-
sioners will give them authority to pub
lish the new rates, which we have al
ready done, and the rates will be put
into effect Immediately.
The new rates are substantial reduc-
tions and will automatically expire on
May lst, after which the old rate will
apply. The changes are as follow:

Cumm.ns a Candidate

Senator Cummins of Iowa is candi,
date for president. His own state will
hold its convention less than three
months hence, April q, at Cedur Rap
ids, and boost for the brilliant Iowa
statesman.
Mr.. Cummins has had big part in
Iowa history for the past ten OF hfteen
years. He has won there against tre-
mendous opposition. and no man in To-
wa proposes today to undo the work
that he did. In the wider field Of nat
ional endeayor he has proven as able to
grasp national affairs AS well rs he did
state affairs.
No one knows what the outcome of
the Chicago convention will'bc, but it
would be no mistake to nominate Cum
mins. We believe that he would be
the strongest man at the polls that the
repsbicans could name, and there is
little doubt that tide convention needs

The Inconsistencies OF politics, the
rapid changes made, not only by lead
ers but by people, keep a fellow Won
dering, and make the discreet slow to
predict the outcome of campaigns fer
in advance. In 1902, the campaign
was fought Oh the tariff but congress
was assembled in extraordinary ses-
sion to deal with the money question
which claimed little attention in the
campaign. In 1906. the tariff was
pushed aside while the war of words
ragged about the coinage of silver and
the entire campaign was fought out
over money, still congress was again
assembled in extraordinary session, but
the tariff was tinkered, while the laws
relative to coinage have not been ma
teriallY changed from that day to this.
And so it goes.
