isn't often-he lives in Philadelphia.
Each morning he catches the

DIVISION
IS ALL THE TALK

Mclean county is again enter
ing. another campaign for divi-
sion. 1t is but a short time ago
that the last county division
fight was ended but it has been
long enough to fit us for another
The proposition as now offered
is a much better one than the
one over which we have just
finished, the long drawn out
fight. W. believe that this pro-
position is going to be very ac-
ceptable to almost everyone, both
in the old and the new proposed
county.
We are strongly in favor of
county division and always have
been and while some may raise
the hue and cry that we will
have two sets of officers to pay
and that taxes will be higher,
we do not agree with them that
division is going to work any adj
ditional hardships on anyone.
For years we have paid our
taxes into the treasury at Wash
burn as the county seat Of all
this territory and as a matter Of
fact this part of the county has

all of the territory that goes to
make up this new proposed
county of Hanna is a detriment
to the. Mclean county %organiza-
ton, as l figure that the ex-
pense to the organization is
really more than they pay in to
it in the way Of taxes. l have
noticed in the commissioners
proceedings that whenever we
nave court that the bills for
jurymen and witnesses from the
north and always look exorbit-
ant. This, o. course, is due to
the long distances that they
have to travel and the time that
they spend coming and going.
The. same is true with expenses
for election-the expense of a,
precinct is twice as much up
in the north end as it is in the
Wilton precinct. Every year
there are several hundred dollars
expense on the Indian reserva-
tion and not a cent in taxes are
ever paid from this territory.
Take it all in all l think that
the north end is really a dead
load to us and | am in favor
of pitching in and helping them
get a county organizations Of
their own and they will then be
satisfied and they can adjust
things to their own liking and
we will be saved a lot Of trouble
and expense with the good set
Of county officers that were
nominated at the primaries we
will be assured Of good, econo-
mical handling Of the county's
business during the next two
years and l think it would
really be a business proposition
to dispose of this county division
business this fall. I have talked
with many Of the voters around
here and the sentiment is all
in favor of dividing this fall.

THEY FAVOR THE
COUNTY DIVISION

Wilton, N. D., Oct. 20, 1914.
Editor Leader: In the past m
neighbors and myself have al
ways opposed county division
and have encouraged everybody
to vote against it. In doing this
we have figured that the lines
and the shape Of the carving
was such that it was not right
and the proposition looked to
us as though it was the schem-
ing Of some fellows who had an
ak to grind or who had some
thing up their sleeve that they.
wanted to hand somebody in
place Of a proposition to divide
the county. The dimes propos-
ed by some Of the county divis-
ion schemers have certainly
been ludicrous and there is no
wonder that the voters elected
them. We have been studying
the map that shows. the lines
for the new county Of Hanna
and this appeals to us as a real
division proposition. The terri
tory is about evenly divided and
the lines are straight and the
proposition looks as though it was
on the square, and not the work
of some political schemer. I can
not figure out lines that would
look better or that would be
more equal. VIZ have also been
looking into he merits Of this
thing and We have decided down
here that it would really be a
business proposition for us to
divide ut this time. The people
up in the north end are the ones
that have always been doing
the kicking ever since this
county DIVISION agitation start
ed and have been complaining
that they were getting the worst
of it. It has been the talk that
they have been paying the taxes
and getting nothing in return
and that the south was running
things to suit themselves and
that the only recognition the
north end people got was pay
ing taxes. If ! am correct in
my conclusions pretty much OF

for it. As a proof Of this as
sertion we call your attention to
the public highways from Dog
den to Max and then on to Gar
rison. There are numerous plac-
es along these roads that are
almost impossible and there is
not one half the distance where
roads follow the section lines.
On a stretch Of grading done on
the main road between here and
Max, it is impossible to drive and
this piece of road has been in
that condition for more than
three years. All this time the
rulers Of the county have put up
the cry Of mo money to build
roads, and at the same time
have spent thousands of dollars
for law suits and county affairs.
The roads are good in the south
ern part of the county and of
course the opposition will claim
this is due to the fact that part
of the county is older, more close
ly settled and has more taxes TO
make roads. We admit they
have more, but we should have
some, enough to pillow a ditch
anyway. That is just where the
rub comes, the southern part Of
the county is too strong for us
at the. polls and the northern
part Of the county gets no rep
resentation at the county seat.
unless it's some "bone head" that
the southern part Of the county
knows they can work easier than
what they have got.
What are we getting for our
taxes9 What are we getting for
supporting Washburn as the
county seat and holding Mclean
county as it is? Nothing, and
We will be getting the same re-
turns fifteen years hence. W.

Lean to .vote for this division.
While we are we'll aware that
it is not to be expected that the
southern part Of he county is
going to vote for this, we are as
their subjects and when they
get the cream we are given the
whey.
To verify these statements one
has only to drive from here to
Washburn and compare the work
done on the roads in that part
of the county to the roads and
the work done on them in this
part Of the county and the proof
lies before you.-Benedict Banne
County division will be the
chief issue up at the fall election.
The northern part Of the coun-
ty is ready to raise again and as
sert it's rights to have represen.
tation at the county seat, and
since they have stood little
chance in the past to get it, they
are going to withdraw and form
a county Of their own to be
known as Hanna county, and
get some Of the money that has
been spent for roads in the south
ern part at the expense Of the
whole county .-Garrison indie
