/. Lennon has plenty of water for fire pro-
lection and Bison has none
2. Lennon has the best fire company in the
Trans Missouri country Bison has none.
3. Lennon is the ony city in Perkins county
that has day and night Watchmen to guard against
fire free to the county. Bison has none.
a. The vaults proposed by Lennon are abso-
lutey fire proof, the air space in the walls make
them So Bson's are single wall vaults and moth
ing to prevent heat going through
5. The records are the property of all of the
people in the county and they have right to de-
mand them kept in safe place, as it would cost
many thousand of dollars to replace them if burned
and some could not be replaced at any cost.
6. Lemmon's lighting system is the safest in
the world it is electricity installed by expert work
men. bisons system, oil lamps liable to explode
any minute and burn the entire building with con-
tents before they could get the records into their
vaults.
T. Bison with all her good will of all her good
people. never can have nor never will have ample
fire protection.
8. The greatest single destroyer of property is
fire, then why should you not vote for Lennon.
for safety.
8. Lennon gives court house and grounds
free of cost to all taxpayers of the county, besides
the free use of her fire protection system and watch
man, which if paid by the county would amount to
thousands and thousands of dollars.
TO- The north end of the county pays nearly
two-thirds of the taxes of the county with seven
tenths of the business from there, then in the name
of justice and fair play to ALL why not weigh these
things in your own judgment, and if you find them
true, vote for Lennon for Permanent County Seat.
H. The court house at Bison is at present time
inadequate and will Immediately need improvement
that will run into thousands of dollars At the pres
ent time we have to rent rooms for the county Judge
and superintendent of schools, which are provided
for in the Proposed Court House at Lennon.
r. Perkins County is only four years old, yet
it has warrant Indebtedness of SCI 6l2 0S besides
the bonded Indebtedness OF Sl03 900, which includes
1912 seed grain. over and above all the high taxes
that you have paid Fer 1912 the tax levy was

more than last year. Does this look like reducing
taxes with county seat at Bison.
13. The tax payers can save the Forty Thou
sand Dollars that it has been stated will be spent
Tor permanent buildings 1T Bison just as soon as
the election if carried in Bison's favor.
Ia. With the county seat at Lennon, in busi-
ness like quarters, arranged for the expeditng of
work. much unnecessary clerk hire will be cut out
hat is now necessary at Bison.
Is. With Bison as the county seat, taxes have
been twice as high in neighboring counties Just
across the line Adams county, n d is an example.

have to pay, that little Adams county is free

Twenty-Six Reasons Why Taxpayers should
Vote for Lennon for County Seat

from debt and its warrants cashable. Perkins coun-
ty is over two years behind in payments. and Mr.
Voter when you want to cash your county warrants
for attendance at court county work OF any Sort
or as officer of election remember, why it is that
you have to go begging to find some one willing to
give you IS or 80 cents on the dollar-when you
have the right to expect 100 cents.
16 Lennon offers good and serviceable
court house and grounds together with Jail service,
absolutely free of charge to the taxpayers, which
offer is backed up by $40, 900 bond and $4,000 in
cash.
IT, Lennon has good hotels and other accom-
modations.
49, Lennon is on the railroad Bison is not,
and never will be.
49, In two campaigns Charles Mix county
spent $50 90 in order to get the permanent coun
tv seat from Wheeler. to the railroad where busl-
ness could be done in more business like way.
And thus minority holds the county seat OF
Charles Mix county at Wheeler.
20 Oivet, county seat of Hutchinson county,
three miles from railroad, remains county seat.
although majority of the people want it moved
and have vany tried, for Is years. to move it to
railroad location at a tremendous expense. Nothing
doing in Hutchinson county.
Il. Seventy per cent. of Perkins county's cit
izens come to Lennon at one time or another dur
ing the year on business. Thus they will have a
chance to do their county business at the courthouse
see what their taxes are, and watch their peronal
interests. Nobody goes to Bison, except when ab-
solutely necessary.
o. 1t is almost impossible to move perman-
ent county seat to the railroad after once located.
Don't forget this. Mr.. Voter
%. Lennon offers ready market for farm
ers products, when, on the other hand, Bison will
never be a market town.
"a. When farmer comes up to Lennon to
transact real estate deal, there will be no expen-
sive telephoning or aggravating waits, to deter
mine the condition of the land in question, if the
courthouse is at Lennon. AS it is, the bulk of the
real estate transactions is handled at Lennon but
the farmer has to pay for telephoning, auto hire
and other sundries, before realty deal is closed
not to mention the long and uncertain waits be-
tween mails. This is one reason why farmers of
Perkins county have paid S2010.OO for telephone
fees, and have made the line very profitable.
25. The records of Perkins county show that
the tax payers have spent $1,000 90 in addition
al sheriffs' fees. officers mileage. telephone and
other expenses that would not have been taken out
OF taxes, if the county seat had been at Lennon.
26. The tax payers of Perkins county viii pay
over S48, 900 in county taxes for the year 1913.
Bison breaches economy. Does it look reasonable
in the face of S103 900 bonded debt, besides out
standing warrants, amounting to $61. .612 08 more!
Would it not be best to have the county seat at
point where ma iority of the tax payers could
look after the property in which they are interested?

Mr.. Voter: Be Sure Read This.
How About Moving Permanent County Seat?

Bison promoters ve-y busy trying to make
people believe that the town of Bison wants the
temporary county seat. len they know that you
are voting on permanent location, and the chance
for selecting temporary county seat at the COM
ing election is remote that it is practically an
impossibility. With only two candidates, Bison
and Lennon, in the field for the county seat, how
do you think it will be probable that neither town
will receive majority, even if some other place
gets few votes.
We have always endeavored to show you that it
is very difficult to move permanent county seat,
when once located to the railroad from some iso-
lated location such as is the case in Charles Mix
County and Hutchinson County, South Dakota,
and other counties. We quote herewith letter
received from the County Auditor of Charles Mix
County showing what it means to try to move q
county seat to the railroad, when in constructing
the line it is found impracticable to the rail-
road into where the county seat is located; such
is the case, exactly, if Bison is named the county
seat at the coming election:

Dear Sir: Referring to your letter concern
J ing the County Seat of Charles Mix County,
South Dakota, will say that it is located at
Wheeler.
The railroad was built through the county
in 1900.
The towns that have been candidates for
the county seat are Platte, Geddes, Lake An
des and Wagner. In 1900 Geddes was sue
cessful in petitioning against Platte, but lost
out in the fall election; in 1904 Geddes was
successful in petitioning against Platte and
Lake Andes, but lost out in the final vote in
the fall. In 1908 Geddes was successful in
petitioning against Platte, Lake Andes and
Wagner, but lost out in the final vote in the
fall; in 1911 Wagner was successful in petiti-
Ioning against Lake Andes, with the 1912 cleo.

The above letter merely demonstrates what we
have contended, in case that the permanent county
seat is located at Bison. Notice the vote but as
takes 60 per cent of total vote cast it still stays
at Wheeler, IL miles from the railroad. with moth
ing but the courthouse, which is in itself huge
fire risk for the records-such as is the case in BIZ
at present Besides this only few officials re-
sidences remain. Do not take such chances in
Perkins county.
Very few citizens of this county have occasion to
go to Bison during the year. When they do 60, it
is practically of compulson; and very seldom
the voters obliged to 90 to Bison account of
mercantile or business reasons. On the other hand,
practically seventy per cent of the citizens of Per
kns County come to Lennon some time during
the year. and any work necessary at the courthouse
could be taken care of while in Lennon, if you
decide on November 5th, that Lennon shall be
the county seat.
We wish to impress voters the Importance of
not allowing the permanent county seat to 60 to
Bison, as it will simply be repetition of the diff
Guilty experienced in trying to move a county seat
after once permanently located. The citizens Of
Lennon are donating to the county buildings and
other property that will be adequate until such
time that the county will be divided, and it would
be folly to expend large sums of the tax payers
money for improvements at Bison.
/ When you 60 to the polls November 5th, vote
for your own interest as q tax payer and we will
rest assured that you will vote for Lennon for
the County Seat.
