STANLEY COUNTY DIVISION FIGHT

Stanley county is having a
campaign for division, am effort
being made to divide the west
end of the county into two new
counties, to be known as "Haa-
kon" and Jackson. Stanley
county is the largest county in
South Dakota and contains more
territory than does several of
the states of the union, and to
an outsider it would Look as il
the time had come to divide it
into smaller sections.
The experiences of older coun-
ties is that the smaller the coun-
ty the more economically are
county affairs managed and the
taxpayers of what now constit-
utes Stanley county will un-
doubtedly find this to be true
when they divide into three or
four smaller counties.
The voters of Stanley should
keep their division" fight free
from political entanglements
and settle the question solely up
on it's merits.-Mitchell Clarion.
The trouble with most Of us is
that TINS question Gf county div
ision is so unusual and out OF
the way of our ordinary exper-
fences that we do not under
stand it. We have no know
ledge Of the facts or figures
from which to argue; so we fall
back on our prejudices, which
are mainly that we will not be
located in exactly the county
we would like to be in; the
county seat will not be near
enough to us, or county Line
will be too near uS-and from
these Things we try to make
arguments. Most of us can take
dollar TO the grocery store, buy
twenty-five cents worth Of bacon
ten cents worth of soap, fifteen
cents worth of cheese, and forty
cents worth of spuds, and know
that we ought to receive ten
cents i'm change. But when some
one begins talking of a total tax
levy of 1895, 10000 and a levy
for county purposes of $1O9, ,OOO.-
06 and tries to point out that the
smaller counties of the state op-
crate on one-third this amount
In some cases one -fOurth-then
the Figures are too big for us
and we get lost. Besides we
have all had much experience liz
buying bacon, soap, cheese, and
spuds, even at these wartime
prices, but most of us have had
little experience with tax levies
and other county matters. II
you are i'm favor of county div
ision, you should inform your
self so that you may be able to
give the reasons for the faith
that is I'M you, and convert your
neighbor. Nothing else needs to
be done y for when the people
are once made aware of the real
reasons for county division, the
majority will be overwhelming.

and figure it out for yourself.
You will find the entire cost of
thirty thousand dollar court
house to the owner of a quarter
section of Land assessed at one
thousand dollars will be 1914. Ii
spread over ten years as Is Gus
tomary in paying for
court houses it would cost
the owner of "a quarter
section of land forty cents
year including interest.
The cost in the proposed county
of Jackson would be proportion
ately small. Who would put the
thousand inconveniences that
the tax payers of this county
suffer each year on account OF
the distance they live from the
county seat against forty centsY
The county auditor of Perkins
county, which was set off from
Butte county in 1908, writes
from Bison under date of Sept
ember Is: 81 have looked up old
bills which were presented for
transcribing the records from
Butte county and find that it
cost Perkins county a thousand
dollars for this work. " To fully
appreciate the insignficance of
this figure it is only Necessary
to remember that the total bur
den levied upon the tax peyers
of Stanley county for the year
ending June 80, 1913, was over
$335,O0
County Auditor Ralph E.
Smith, of Mcintosh, writing I'M
der date of September Is,
shows that the recently organ
lzed county of Corson is in good
financial condition and says:
The costs of new books, etc,
also transcribing the records, rs
very uncertain, although not
enough to be noticeable to any
great extent"
Some of the objections to
county division are laughable.
The other day we heard a vot-
er arguing that if the county is
divided "we will have to pay
our share of that county debt. 4"
How under the shining sun will
We get out of paying our share
of the county debt by not div
lding the county? 1t puzzles us.
