A destitute family of six peo-
pie, several of them under the
care of a physician, living in the
south part of the county, were
given $25 by the board of super
visors. What extravaganza! If
that family doesn't contract the
gout from high living from such
bounteous bequests it will be a
miracle. We can buy libraries
for $1,000, but unfortunate peo-
pie will have to hustle for them
selves or move out. -WinslOw

When the plain letter of the
law states that a county officer
cannot legally have any financial
dealing with the county, and
any claim, demand or warrant is
illegal and void, the action of
Judge Sapp in unloading his law
library on the county shows him
up in his true light. If he did it
ignorantly it proves his lack of
legal knowledge which should
disqualify him from holding
such a responsible position. If
he knew the law, and took ad-
vantage of the ignorance of the
supervisors, or conspired with
them to put over a deal on the
taxpayers for his personal profit,
he has forfeited the confidence
and respect of all good citizens,
and it is such grave reflection
on his honesty and integrity
that he should no longer be per-
mitted to preside over the court
of Navajo county. Integrity of
the courts is the bulwark of the
state, and this end is obtained
when no taint of suspicion at
taches to the ermine. 1t is this
sentiment that demands the re-
call of Judge Sapp at this time.

IN the HOlDrOOk News, Cne eQl-
tor as usual was very profuse in
his praise of the business acu-
men of the members of the
board of supervisors. In fact
he would have the voters adopt
anything they advocated with
out question, quibble or furbe-
low. However, we would sug-
gest that the public might do
we'll to take the admonition of
the news with a grain of salt
and look on some of the fnan-
cial deals of the board with a
degree of misgiving, as the rec
ord does not bear the lonesome
editor out as is generally the
case.
1t may be pointed out that we
have an increase in the tax rate
as most of the taxpayers proba-
bly, have already observed; if
not, the matter no doubt will be
brought home to them when the
second inStallment of taxes is
paid.
To prove that the board is
without business ability or care
less in it's financial transactions
for the public it is only neces-
sary to refer to the listing for
taxation and purchase of Judge
Sapp's law library. Thru an
oversight, we suppose, the Judge
failed to list his library for taxa
tion last year. The supervisors
were quick to discover the mis-
take and of their own volition
entered it on the tax roll of
1915 at the magnificent valua-
tion of $125.OO, a material re-
duction of several hundred dol
lars from the previous year.
We presume the reduction was
made to allow for the deprecia-
tion in the value of the library
because of the handling of the
books. Notwithstanding it is
very generally known that Mr..
Sapp has always been very care
full of their use, the only dete-
rioration probably resulting from
their remaining undisturbed on
the shelf.
Early of this year, and appar-
emily without figuring on a fur
ther depreciation in value, the
supervisors purchased the libra
ry, with the exception of the
Pacific reports (Which composed
about one-third of it,, for the
sum of $1600.00. For taxable
purposes it is wonderful how
the library deprecated in value
but for selling purposes it is as
founding how the price went up.
Considering the purchase was
made without color of legal au-
thority the deal savors of col
fusion, particularly in view of
the fact that Mr.. Sapp's name
does not appear in the minutes
of the board as the party who
filed the demand or to whom
the money was paid. Only the
name Of the Merchants and
Stock Growers Bank appears
in the minutes as receiving the
money when the law specifically
provides that the name of the
party presenting the demand
and the one to whom payment
is made shall both appear oppo-
site the number of the warrant.
The, prevailing price by pub
fishers for resold sets of legal
works is from twenty-five to
forty per cent of the original
cost. In view of these facts we
fail to see how the supervisors
can be credited with any busi-
ness foresight in the premises
and doubt if any of them would |
