The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1914-06-11

We have noticed that in every at.
tempted contradiction and explana-
ton by Mr.. Lee or by Mr.. Lees
friends there is an absolute, solemn
and brooding silence rs to the Carroll
contract and % to Mr.. Lees violation
of the penal statutes of this State.
Probably the worst feature of the
transaction was his reputation Of the
moral force of the contract and the
side.stepping by Mr.. Lee in avoiding
a Grand Jury indictment. An indict-
ment was returned by Ward County
Grand Jury but what became of it is
another story. 1t does not concern us
for the present.
Mr.. Lee has also in his explanatory
articles, that do not explain, tried to
refute the figures published by US Civ
ing the total moneys received from all
sources by Mr.. Lee when Sheriff of
Ward County from 1905 up to and in.
GLIDING 1908. He stated that he had
an expert preparing correct schedule
of moneys received by him and ~ we
had obtained the figures from the
same source from which any expert
would have to obtain them, we offered
to give him copy, together with our
experts affidavit a. to the correctness
of his accounting. Lest it be forgot
ten, we republish . summary of total
moneys received by Mr.. Lee rs Sheriff
of Ward County during 1905 up to and
including 1908.
Received fees for services
in courts --------------$28,3 1868. SO

oners, which includes fees

he was only entitled to 50 per cent
of the gross amount collected. He also
knows that M. s. Williams, now IN
official of the Government in the land
Office at Williston bid on this same
contract and offered to collect the de-
linquent personal property taxes on .
Is per cent basis.
Mr.. Lee also knows that he charged
mileage and livery ~ though he were
collecting the delinquent taxes - m
official and not % private citizen.
He also knows that the mileage and
livery illegally collected was never
turned into the county.
He also knows that in collecting
from six, seven or eight farmers In
one community he charged mileage
and livery as though he had made ok
or seven separate trips.
Whereas, in truth and in fact, the
collections were made all on the same
day, as the receipts on record and On
file show. He also knows that he can
not blame this illegality on irrespon-
sible deputies appointed by him and
that to attempt to do 80 u mere jug
glery. ,.s,@ 5@1s \
As we have stated, his mental pro.
cesses at the threshold ofshis political
career disclosed 'unequalled elasticity,
= disregard for penal statutes, . win.
ingness to violate his oath Of o1Rce
coupled with q desire to ignore the
moral force of his obligation.
Will John J. Lee keep his promises?
In view Of his past record, We think
not. We Judge him entirely by his
record in Office and his conduct - IN
official. It is not always possible 70
count the spots on . frogs back ard
tell how far he will jump.
"Frogs is frogs" and q prospective
candidate for sheriff is another story.

The total amount of delinquent
taxes collected by Mr.. Lee during his
two terms from 1905 up to and in
Guiding 1908 was SOL ,oss.s6.
We have therefore stated that
large proportion Of the amount COL

illegally collected.

ton by boldly asserting in black-faced
type portion Of hii contract with the
county which made an exception Of
LEGAL SHERIFFS FEES" Mr..
Lee attempted to convey the idea that
what We were talking about was fees
that he was entitled to under the law.
As Z matter of fact on the delin-
quent personal property tax collection
he was dealing with the county as .
private individual and not rs sheriff
and We referred to the resolutions of
the County Commissioners that made
no mention of sheriff fees
of any kind.
Mr.. Lee knew this when he wrote
his attempted explanation; he also
knew that any dealing with the coun-
ty on the question of the collection of
delinquent personal property taxes
was as a private individual and that
