You are very consistent, Mr..

gave Us an opportunity to see
you express your feelings and
opinion. Mr.. Gardner is the
Auditor of Harding county, and
his books show a cost of S6995 90

December 81, an expense for the
same items and time, a total of

Bag" appearing in the Perkins
County Signal under date of
February 18th, also in Bison
Courier on February 10Th. it is
rather amusing to see the fit our
faithful County Auditor was
thrown into by the articles that
appeared in the correspondence
items to the Register Gazette.
In the first place we take ex-
cepti0n to the name of "Clodhop-
per- Of course we are not sur
prised at such behavior from a
present Officer in the Court
House, as they have an idea that
all farmers are ''Clodhoppers" or
at least something inferior to
themselves. His language "Clod-
hopper punctures Wind Bag"
is probably quite appropriate re-
garding the latter description, if
referring to himself. If a "Clod-
hopper" could puncture him in
such shape, we wonder what
would become of him if he was
attacked by a person who is not
a "Clodhopper" or who knows
more than d Hog knows about
Latin another phrase he used
in his article against us. l am
afraid the effect would be un-
wholesome, at least. We farm
ers do not profess to know as
much as our officials, that the
farmers were 'Clodhoppers"
enough to elect to places where
they grew fat and discourteous
at the public crib of our County,
but other elections are coming
where the same farmers will
have a right to exercise their
opinions, and if each farmer in
the county will treat his interest
fairly as a taxpayer at next
election, it will be unnecessary
to count over sixty per cent OF
the votes, as that would be
enough to declare it against the
present officials who gloat in
their positions with an ever
grasping and unsatisfied appetite
pulling on the public tax trough.
1t is about time to make a killing,
voters, and let US make this on
the oath of March, 50 their am.
bitions Tor still holding on the
puDllc purse and supplying their
unsatished appetites will be for
ever killed SO far as Perkins
county is concerned. Tney find
1t so convenient to supply their
Offices with clerks from other
counties and states, let them 90
back way oack there to
spend their declining days on the
tat of the land," which the
"Ciodnoppers' of Perkins coun-
ty allowed them to secure, while
in our midst. 1t Is true as Mr..
Benjamin says, tnat the officers
are governed Dy law, but they
are also protected by law, and
any of their illegal actions would
under iue course of law be recti-
fed for the tax payers some time
in the next generation so our
only present recourse is thru the
ballot.
He says the county officers
are In no way responsible for
high or low taxation" 1t is a
cinch that our present force
would not be responsible for low
taxation, but they might be re-
sponsible for the fact that it
cost the taxpayers MORE
