and to mean nothing, to catch votes
bat to entail no Obligations The
standpatters are for republicanism
What kind of republieanism is speci-
lied? None. The people know, how
ever. what kind of republicanism
they may expect from the stalwart
crowd-the repnblicanism of Taft. of
Cannon, of Aldrick and of Burke.
The standpatters are for honesty.
fairness and efficiency. This sounds
like the platform of the non partisan
ticket at Me old town election. Econ.
omy anaFood Government. was the
most ca1kenient slogan they could
figure odfor town ticket. Can you
recall wht Economy and good gov
ernment" meant as motto in q
municipal campaign? 1t was a ne,
handy phuase, and inasmuch as the
standpatteFs did not care for any
thing specific or committal in their
motto over their state ticket, it is not
surprising that they made over this
old saying and adapted it to their
immediate necessities.
There is one other thing for which
the standpatters stand, and It's
this: "For our party's sake rather
than the interest of individual
office seekers" /" That means take
care of the party organizations at all
hazards; look out for the welfare of
the party bosses, for in them we move
and have our political being.
Read over that motto again, and
see 1t 1t expresses any political prin-
ciple, or makes any political promise
to which you can attach your faith.
Turn from that to the frank, spec
itic declaration of the majority, of
the progressives of this state. They
stand "for popular government,
presidential primaries, good roads,
tax revision, ownership of express
companies, economy in administra-
tlon." This is plain unvarnished
statement of some of the progressive
reforms which the majority promises
to enact for the people. SO far as may
be in its power, if it is continued
in power through the suffrage of the
people. There is nothing indefinite
about this statement. 1t means
what it says, and is characteristic of
the attitude of progressive republi-
canism toward the people. 1t is
neither ambiguous nor confusing.

WOODS SALARY AND FEES
Some Plain Facts Regarding the
Conduct Of the Office Of Register
Of Deeds

The fees earned by the ONCE Of Reg
lister of Deeds of Hughes County for
the year 1918. according to the vouch.
ers turned into the County Auditor,
were. Sl498.40 Under the law this was
the maximum amount allowed for the
salary of the Register of Deeds and
clerk hire or deputies. Yet the records
show that the County Board allowed.
and the County Auditor has issued and
delivered warrants for work In tho Of
flee of the Register Of Deeds during
that year 1918 for the total sum OF
s256o, $1,000 to the Register Of Deeds
for salary, e1O20 to n. v. Lee for
clerk hire, $346 to ADM. Fawcett for
index work. Thus S1O67. 60 in excess Of
the amount allowed by law has been
used to run this office.
The salary of the Register Of Deeds
is provided tor by Section 89l of the
Political Code, ~ amended by Chapter
l52, laws of 1906. 1t is there stated,
In counties having population not
exceeding 1900 or less the salaries Of
registers of deeds shall be 5000 per an
mum, and such salary shall not in any
county exceed $780, Section 895 Of
the Political Code provides that the
Board of County Commissioners may
employ deputies for clerks for the Reg
lister of Deeds, but provides further,
that the total amount paid to the
Register Of Deeds for salary and clerk
hire shall not exceed the amount Of
fees collected by such ofhcsr."
Grant, what is questionable. that Mr..
Fawcett was employed to do special
work. and the amount paid him should
not be counted as part Of the current
york of the Office, there still remains

members present:

Whoever fathered this action peryuad-
ed the Auditor to leave his name out AZ

his name is not so recorded. There 10

for this indexing. After this rssolu-
ton was passed Miss Lee continued %
before to do the general work Of the
Office. She has done practically the
whole of it. Only her spare time ID giv.

She is doing the work for which Mr..
Woods is paid 500 per month to do.
and does not do.
None of the above 10 said in criticisms
of Miss Lee. She 10 eil1cisnt and has
given value received for every dollar
paid her. If she had been Register Of

dal in the conduct Of the ONCE and the
work for which the county paid $256s
could have been performed for the re-
