How About a Change?

For 10, these many years. sys-
tenn for holding the county OFFICES
h.s been maintaine<l by the court
house gang. When one Official had
stuck as long ~ 1t WAS Thought pos.
sible. his deputy was put In. Ana
not only the deputy was there ike
AN angry boil on y tender place, nut
the brOthers and sisters and cousins
and uncles and Aunts and, In fsrt,
the whole family found feeding q
the public crib.
Do the people Of Weld county
want this sort Of thing for all time,
especially following the unhappy
disclosures OF the past two years:
There is . weariness akin to pam
attached to this sort Of thing. A
slate made in . hack room, the same
old campaign howls and the same
old faces again after each election
are Just . little bit too much.
November 8 there will be chance
to change this order Of things In
Weld county. Some changes have
been forced already. BY voting
straight democratic ticket . com
plete change can be made and there
will be NO necessity for grand juraes
and expensive expert accountants.

Az Of The Truth

Republican gpellbtnders, telling
only . small part Of tho truth, are
arguing that the cost to tho people
per capita under the present tariff
Is @S.46 = ycar; figuring on . basis
Of $500, 600 900 receipts from tariff
duties, per year, and q population
of 20, 600, 900 people.
But ~ in most arguments ON the
protective tariff, the Important feat
ure IL suppressed In republican ora
tory aAd republican newspaper ad-
vertising. As = matter Of fact, the
total tax paid by the consumer be-
cause Of the tariff amounts annually
to two and one-quarter billion dol
Lars, Of which IL per cent goes into
tlss. national treasury and the bal
ance goes to the manufacturers OF
interests, ~ protection Of prOfits".
This puts quito another aspect
upon the situatiOn and Affords
abundant reason why the people ol
tfe United states should vote fOs
Wilson and Marshall, who ars
pledged personally and through the
democratic party platform to pro.
coed with all dispatch to tho revis.
i0n Of tho tariff downward to tf,4
end that tho psotAfhtive tariff dufie,
which, under tho PAyne-Aldricf

and m0nOpolies which Row are rob

Salaries And F6es

-Four months ago the court OF aP-
peals handed down . decision In ef-
feet that the fees collected by county
officials in counties Of certain
classes, should by Law revert to the
county treasury. The ruling ap-
plies to Weld county and otiser
counties where stated salaries are
paid to the county officers.
Recently the books Of the onices
Of Weld county were audited. Some
Of the Offices got words Of praise
from the auditor. But there is one
point the auditor did not touch upon
and that is the law regarding fees to
be pocketed by the county officials
and the fees to be turned over to the
county treasury.
Perhaps, in the interests Of the
taxpayers OF Weld county. the re-
publicans who have maintained an
Office holding trust In this county
for so many years might make some
sort Of statement SHOWING
WHERE THE FEES HAVE GONE?
The court OF last resort Of the
state says they should 20 to the
county. HAVE THESE FEES GONE
TO THE COUNTY?
The Greeley tribune., 1912-10-17
How About Those Fees?

would it not be good paaA for
the county officers Of Weld. most of
whom are asking reelection II the
hands Of the people. to como out
frankly and answer the qtsesseo9:
"Have all the fees that have been
collected In the county Offices been
turned over to the county FUNDS o.
have they been diverted into Other
channels?''
This is = fair question that the
t.xpayers are entitled to pave

New York state republican COM
mfttee, now occupies the center
of the pre-convention fight.
Barnes had long secret confer
ence today with the members of
the Taft steering committee and
with Charles d. Hilles, secretary
to President Taft. They discussed
ways and means of taking care
of any efforts that may be made
by William e. Flynn of Pittsburg
to stampede the convention for
Roosevelt.
May Spring Root.
1t Is generally admitted among
the Taft men today that if 1t de-
velops that the presidents nom
nation is impossible, Senator
Elihu Root will be put forward
as a candidate. Barnes asserts
that Roots election as temporary
chairman of the convention is
certain.
His friends say that his open
ing speech as temporary chairman
will be the supreme effort OF his
life. He will try to force har-
mony between the Roosevelt and
Taft factions SO far as the plat
form Is concerned. He plans to
urge conciliation policy in every
way. Many of the Taft men are
hopeful that Roots harmony key
note will meet with an instant
response from the convention
with the result that Root him
self will be nominated for presi-
dent.

Elliott Did Not
Kill Dundas

A. e. Elliott, held In the city
jail charged with threatening to
kill his daughter and son-in-law,
is not the man who killed Sydney
Dundas, as stated I'm yesterdays
Times, and the statement was due
to misinformation.
Elliott did, however, shoot at
and wound Sydney Dundas before
the latter was murdered, according
to Detective Capt. Fitzgerald. The
captain this morning said that FL
Ii0tt. fired three shots ut Dundas,
one Of which lodged In the neck.
1t was for this, the captain said,
that Elliott served time In the
penitentiary.
Dundas was shot and killed by q
dope fiend named Jones, who COM
mitted suicide after the shooting.
