comes In With bill for a like smount
which bill however is up to the present
board.
Now for support given the board
personally BY Mr.. Harrison the tax
payers OF the county are obliged to dig
down and foot the bills. The Times
Herald only wants s252.OO on the
ballots Of On overcharge and q good
slice In his other bills for his support
this fall. That may look reasonable to
the board but how is it going to look to
some Of you ranohers? Isn't it about
time something was done about this
matter?
Further, Mr.. CLARK the member from
this district was cognizant of these
facts but still appointed Mr. Harrlson's
paper one Of the official papers. Could
there possibly be an understanding?
Gould the fact that Mr.. CLARK owns the
building In which the Times. Herald is
located have any bearing on the oasei
AZ Q taxpayer from now on the writer
will make 1t point to see that legal
bills are allowed and should We find
otherwise We will be glad to inform the
public Of our findings. Taxes now are
higher In this county than any place
else in the world.
This expose is not made by reason of
the fact that We we're not appointed
the official paper for We knew positive
ly before hand that we would not be
and another thing We did not claim to
have helped in the election Of any one
member OF the board now In office
That is one thing we don't have to
answer for % time will tell.
The Times Herald man gave the new
board as we'll as the outgoing ones big
banquet together with some few others
at the Hot Springs Hotel, Tuesday
night. Whether that bill will 20 in.
to the county, time and the Almighty
alone can tell.
And just few words relative to the
Edgemont Enterprise and its editor
Mr.. Skinner. In recent editions OF
that paper has appeared the famous
king" report and on the editorial
page each week has also appeared edi-
torials calling for change and an in.

over the conduct Of county affairsi We
will agree With him and say that an In
vestigation 10 needed but IL might bs
we'll to start with his bills which have
In many instanosa been put in and al
lowed without even the formality Of
being ttimized which by law he is re.
quired to do. Mr.. SINNERS great
trouble seems to lie in the fact that
they didn t pay him enough and in.
stead of merely getting the core of the
apple he wanted the whole thing.
With Editor Caylor Of the Ardmore
American, he was willing to take the
crumbs as they fell from the table.
With the only democrat paper in ths
county and in the district with tht
only democrat commissioner he wa,
given verbal agreement as to what be

He was willing tool and as q matte,

deserves.
AS In other cases We have known. re-
bates on overoharges have been made
and unless we are badly mistaken the
case above cited is not going to be
exception to the rule.
We shall expect at least six columns
from Mr.. Harrison next week.
