Junk SHOP NEEDED
BY COUNTY CLERK
Vaults Filled That Could Be
Relieved If Some One Had
Authority to Destroy

Two bushel-baskots full of legal
documents Of all kinds are being re.
eeived each day by the Marion county
clerk who must file each one properly.
There is a constant stream coming in
to fill up the vault and filing cases so
that new filing equipment has had to
be purchased from time to time Yes
terday the new cases, which were re.
ceived several days ago, were made
ready for receiving papers and will
shortly be installed in the vault. The
new files are in two sections--one con.
tanning ~ cases and the other $50. The
new equipment was badly needed as
documents were packed on the floors in
the corners.
Vaults were chuck full of old papers
and with the present increase Of facili.
ties room has been made in the vault
for two years receipt of records. There
is nothing in the vaults now but current
documents. As fast as they become oil I
and not of pressing Importance they are
taken to the garrett There is clean.
up once each month in the clerk IS Of.
flee. Several hop. baskets Of old docu.
ments were carried to the garret YES
terday and more are going as soon as
possible. But this is not all the papers
that come into the clerks hands--the
unimportant ones never get into the
vault.
To remedy this state of affairs, Clerk
Gehlhar believes there ought to be an
officer given authority to determine
when and what papers should be de.
stroyed. There are number Of kinds
of documents that become useless after
certain period Of years but, accord
ing to law, these documents must be
kept forever, though mere junk. Such
papers are county warrants which have
been paid and returned These are
worthless after seven years. This year
1900 of these were issued and they
make stack l2la feet high. Besides
the duplicates are required to be kept,
which makes a second stack Of the same
height.
Claims Of the county court which are
worthless after seven years, make a
stack Is feet high. In addition to these
papers are the probate and circuit court
files, Of which large number Of papers
could be disposed of after certain
number of years. After certain time
these are worthless but no one has the
authority to destroy them and they are
left W destroy themselves, Old cases
of the circuit court come under this
heading worthless stuff that the clerk
is required to keep He said there will
come a time when even these eases will
he destroyed such as old indictments
and eases that have been dismissed.
On file in the office in the court
house are 10000 circuit court eases, and
each one contains from 10 to . papers
There are over 100000 Of such paper
on file and are arranged so tho clerk'
can locate any at moments notice.

during his absence he was selected
with the unanimous consent of his as.
sociates as a member of the Republi-

makes the assignment of committee

SENATOR CRAWFORD ADMIRED
BY ASSOCIATES

In proving a mans reputation and
character in a court of law we seek 1t,
not among his enemies, nor yet among
his intimate friends, but from HE dis
interested associates. What do the
disinte rested associates say of Senator
Crawford? Just read what Senator
Cummins, the Progressive leader of
Iowa, says of him.
Washington, d. C.
Jan. 9th. 1914.
Senator Crawford, Is one of the most
sincere, earnest and capable Progress.
sive Republicans in the senate, and so
far as l am personally concerned /
should look upon 1t as a great loss to
the Progressive should he be de-
feated.
Yours very truly,
Albert b. Cummins."
Here's what Ex-senator Beveridge,
of Indiana, said of Senator Crawford
at Aberdeen, s. D., on May 9th, 1912,
relative to Crawford's fight on Lori
mer, the man who bought his way into
the United States senate from Illinois:
Every citizen in the entire nation
owes a debt of gratitude to your Sena-
tor Coe /. Crawford. In the very be-
ginning Of the fight Mr.. Crawford
made one of the best speeches l have
ever heard delivered anywhere"
Now notice what Harper's Weekly,
in the issue of February 14th, 1914,
says Of him:
Crawford. Progressive Republican,
Is an able and honest man."
Don't believe what we have to say
about the Senator IL you don't want to;
all we ask is that you believe what the
leaders of the Progressive movement,
men like Gronna. Cummins. La Fol-
lette and Beverage, have to say of
him.-Adv.

PROGRESSIVE IN PERFORMANCE

Probably no political a%ppellation has
been SO misapplied and abused as the
prefix progressive" 1t has been at
tached to the most demagogic of poll
~ticians, to the most impractical meas
ures and the abuses which have been
perpetrated under 1t smell to heaven.
However, il performance counts for
anything the most progressive man In
the state today Is Congressman Burke.
He stands before the public al q plain,
well meaning republican, determined
to do his duty at whatever cost and in
whatever position he Is placed. He
has been sever times elected to the
house of representatives. During these
fourteen years he has had the great
good fortune to serve the people
through trying political times and to
so act as to be much stronger in the
confidence of the people now than
when he first entered public life. They
have concluded that IL performance
counts for anything. Mr.. Burke is a
progressive of the working and not
the talking kind. That the record he
has made at Washington Is unassail-
able and is comparable with that Of
La Toilette. That during the Roose-
welt regime, he stood for every admin
istration measure and gave them his
loyal support. That on all laws affect
ing the rights of the people as against
the greed of corporations he has stood
for the people; that every law aimed
at SPECIAL privilege" has had his OPP
position. He has not been any poll
teal Don Quixote but a true Knight of
%ha DanN1a xyNfu0 oil Tho tfp,n In
the interests Of his constituents and
for his state and his country.
AS a congressman he was a member
of the committee which framed the fol-
lowing laws and 1t was his privilege to
take q leading part in preparing same:
Railway laws expediting suits under
the antitrust act, compelling safety
equipment Of railway trains, and safety
appliance inspectors; requiring the
prompt and full report of wrecks; the
investigation Of the block system
equipment and also the investigation
of railroad monopolies In coal and oil;
also the act prohibiting freight rates.
In the framing and passage Of the
famous Hepburn railway rate law Mr..
Burke was very active and the 16.hour
law and the pure food acts had his
earnest. active and hearty support.
The congressional record discloses
that he voted for the extension Of the
rural free delivery service, for the par
cells post system, for the meat inspec-
ton act, the employers liability act,
the oleomargerine law, the reclama-
ton act, the postal savings bill. the in
come tax and for the direct election of
United States senators.
As chairman Of the committee on
Indian affairs he has been the cham
pion of the rights Of the Indian and
has been able to stop to a great extent

THE TAX

The increase in taxes on farm lands
in Brookings county for 1913 is $29,,
$3.50 more than taxes for 1912. Gov.
Byrne and his Tax Commission say
the farmers taxes have been reduced.
Inquire at the county treasurer's Office
for the amount of your 1912 and 1913
taxes and find out for yourself. Vote
for r. o. Richards for governor, so as
to clean up the spoils system and hold
down the taxes.-(Adv.)

to compare the state tax of 1913 with
1912, when the 1913 tax is short of pay
ing state expenses, and the 1912 tax
is its own high water mark of expen'
