information from Washington, has de-
cided upon Miss Margaret Connell for

States land Office at Salt Lake. The
term for which Colonel NJ. NJ. Kaighn

sition docs not expire for moro than a
year, but steps looking TO his removal

politically with the administration are
said to have been taken. The removal

STILL WATER RUNS DEEP.

Many Of our readers have expressed
impatience because we have not been
giving them such glowing accounts of
the progress of our railroad the past
few weeks as in times past. To all
such and to the vast number OF others
who are just as interested but are
waiting more patiently, we can say
that the old adage that, "Still water
runs deep" is true in this case. The
project is not dead by any means-not
even sleeping--but is going along as
rapidly AS it is possible to move things
at this time. Some of these days the
people of Beaver county are going to
wake up with brand new railroad. in
their midst and everybody will be
happy. We will have something in
teresting along this line before many
moons.

NOT SO BAD FOR BEAVER COUNTY
WAGES $4,000 PER DAY.

II. w. Settle was in from his fin,
farm near Balko Tuesday. He called
at the HERALD office to attend to some
business matters and while here cas-.
ually remarked that he had Just figur
ed up the outcome OF his 1914 wheat
crop and it showed that he had earned
$4,000 per day wages from the same.
Not so bad for Beaver county, is II?
There are whole lot of farmers just
like Mr. Settle this year, too. They
have harvested and are now marketing
immense crops of wheat which will go
a long way toward lifting the mortgage
of the old homestead and placing a
lot OF nice improvements and high
stock thereon another year. We only
trust that another season may be just
as favorable and that the season s
prosperity may be extended.

WILEuL NEGLECT OF DUTY.

The law plainly prescribes that the
county treasurer prepare and cause to
be published each year a list OF the
delinquent taxes on real estate. There
is no way lawfully to get around doing
this thing and any county treasurer
who fails to do SO Is guilty Of gross
neglect OF duty as we'll az willful vio-
lation Of law. He can no more refuse
or neglect to perform this duty than
can the sheriff refuse or neglect to ar
rest a man for whom a warrant has
been issued or the county assessor re.
fuse or neglect to prepare the tax rolls
ltis duty prescribed by law for him
to perform, no more and no less, and
there is no legal excuse for his failure
to do so. County Treasurer Frysingei
doubtless hoped to gain favor with the
taxpayers by the position he took in
neglecting and refusing to get out the
delinquent tax list this year by making
It appear as II his action was one oi
great benefit to them when in reality
he was not benefitting them one iota
Every man knows that his taxes are
due and must be paid each year and
the county treasurer or no one else has
any power to prevent it. Taxes are
levied for the support OF the school
township, county and state business
and il takes the amount levied each
year to keep the several governments
going. On account OF the particularly
depressing condition OF finances this
year, taxes were extended Just as long
IS they could be extended for the ben
eft OF the farmers but the limit must
be reached some time and no matter
what the desire, one cannot lawfully
90 beyond that limit. The laws OF Ok
lshoma prescribe that all lands and
lots on which the taxes are not paid
must be advertised for three consecu
tive weeks beginning after the first
Monday in October and that unless
the taxes on such are paid before the
first Monday in November OF each year
that the lands and lots must be sold
for such taxes and penalties. 1t does
not say that they MAY be sold but it
says they MUST be sold, such sale be-
ginning the FIRST MONDAY IN NO.
Suppose the law provided
for the county treasurer becoming
too busy" to do this work and excused
him on that ground. II. he was "too
busy" this year, why could he not be
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1914-10-22

too busy" the next year and the next
and so on? II that were the case, when
in the name OF common sense could
taxes be collected and what shape
would our county affairs be In, in
few years? The facts OF the case are,
Frysinger did not want to have the tax
lists published in the HERALD and
when he saw that there was no way for
him to get around it, he took the mat
ter into his own hands and would have
thrown the whole business into state
of chaos in order to vent his personal
spleen against the publisher o; the
HERALD. His wiltul neglect aud fiat
refusal to do this work until compelled
to do so, is reason enough to think that
he might Just as readily shirk other
responsible duties required of him as
county treasurer and shows that he is
not the right man for the place. He
has stated over and over again that he
was "too busy" to do the work when
we can prove conclusively that he was
out of the office many days looking af.
ter his own personal campaign inter
ests 1t required six persons four
days to get out the tax lists Had he
commenced at the time he should have
commenced, figuring at the same rate,
he and his deputy should have gotten
out the list in twelve days ut the most,
and the county been put to no added
expense Being familiar with the
books, they could have perhaps gotten
the list out sooner than that. We
venture the assertion that since the
time that he should have commenced
preparing the tax lists for publication,
that Frysinger has been out of the
office looking after his own personal
interests more than time enough to
have gotten up the work. His trip to
Oklahoma City tile first OF September
did not consume less than three or four
days and probably more. Even had 1t
been necessary to employ some extra
help, efficient help could have been
found, had the work been gotten up in
time, at not more than $l.50 or $500
per day instead OF the expert help
which i. was necessary to employ at
the last minute at probably $500 per
day.

are only made with the purpose OF de-
tracting attention from the real ques-
tion at issue. Just as County Attor.
ney Smith insisted upon an investiga.
tion of the records OF the entire set of
county officials IL the sheritf's office
was to be Investigated, even though no
charges had been filed against any 9th
er official, In order to turn the atten.
tion of the people from the real Issue,
so the slurs and insinuations are made
against Commissioners Haskell and
Hagan for no other reason than to
place the investigation in the light OF
political chicanery. Haskell and Ha-
gan did no more than their duty and
no more than they did when a repub.
lcan official was being investi ga to d
and they deserve only the hearty ap.
proval and commendation OF the pso-
pie for their actions. They proved
that they are honest and fair minded
and that democrat as we'll as republi-
can have a fair hearing In any matter
coming up before them. As long NJ
such men as Haskell aud Hagan are in
charge OF the county affairs the people
may rest assured of one thing and thai
Is tnat they will not sacrifice their hon.
or nor shirk their sworn duty in order
To favor or protect anybody. Honesty
OF purpose and unassailable Integrity
has dominated their every action since
they have served the people of Beaver
county as their commissioners and we
defy anyone TO point us to n single &C.
tion to the contrary 1t is all right to
make statements and cast reflections
and insinuations but what the people
are interested in is the facts Again
we say, point US TO single case in
which Haskell and Hagan have taken
n stand other than that which, after
careful investigation, they deemed TO
he right and proper and TO the best
interest of the county. Ii can't be
done. They have been absolutely on
the square.

When County Treasurer Frysinger
was advised. In man1amus proceeding
before District Judge Grow last week
that it would be necessary for him ia
prepare tke delinquent tax lists for
publication, II was necessary for the
county commissioners to employ five
extra clerks in the treasurer's office in
order to prepare the lists Consider.
ing the brief time in which the work
had to be done, only the most expert
help ohtainable could be employed in
order to insure accuracy. Such helT
will probably cost the county $5 90 pei
day aud five extra clerks worked the
greater part OF -four days, making a
total expense of probably 500 90. II
the work had been commenced on
time, help could have boen secured for
$50 or 81 90 per day at the most.
Who is to blame for this needless ex.
penditure OF the tay payers hard
earned money, Let the county treas
urer answer.
