LIVELY FIGHT OVER
THE DIVISION PLANS
IN FREMONT COUNTY

The tri-division of Fremont county,
as proposed in the senate with the in
PRODUCTION of Clark and Yellowstone
county division bills, makes an inter-
esting controversy, especially in view
of the stand taken by Senator Elliott
of Fremont that he will use every ef-
fort to defeat both measures, although
he agreed to introduce them on behalf
of some of his constituents.
There are several delegations in the
city now backing the division plans.
Due to long distances from the county
seat of Fremont county, the division
advocates claim they have one very
strong argument in their favor, among
others. They also set forth that ola
Fremont as now constituted Is entirely
too large and smaller units of govern
ment will greatly improve conditions.
Because of the extensive area Of Fro
impossible for the assessor to make
the rounds and assess the property ev-
cry year.
The proposed new county of Clark
has an area OF 1000 square miles. The
assessed valuation is s3.4S9.423, or a
gain in one year Of $455,4G4 The esti-
mated population is 5000. In 1915 and
1916 there were III land entries and
up to that time the entries were 6G2
This proposed county borders on Mon
tana and Is to be formed out Of the
northwestern part of what is now Ere
mont county.

The Man Who Held Two Elective OF.
fices-Senator and Presidential
Eleetor-as Result Of the GEN.
eral Election.

There Is probably no member Of the
present state senate who has given
more Of his personal time to service
for the people both of his state and
his county than Senator John Il. Pin
cock, of Madison county. Senator
Pincock is by no means an office
holder by habit. He is a man of big
business affairs but has always con-
sidered it his duty to devote part of
his time to public matters, taking the
broad view that this is duty that
no man should shirk.
At the last general election Sena-
tor Pincock had the honor to be elect
ed to two offices-Democratic presi-
dental elector and state senator. AS
the duties of the two offices did not
conflict, he discharged the duties of
the first and is now engaged in per-
forming those of the second.
REFUSED MILEAGE ALLOWANCE
Although a little thing it gave evil
dence of the caliber of the senator
from Madison county, when he declined
to accept mileage twice for travelling
to Boise to perform the functions of
the two offices he held. He was paid
mileage for the trip from his home
at Sugar City to the capital as a presi-
dental elector and when the mileage
committee in the senate credited Linn
with mileage both ways as q senator
to which he was entitled under the
law, he asked that his name be stricken
from the report
Senator Pincock Is q farmer and
stock grower. He has held the offices
of sheriff, assessor and collector
county commissioner, state grain COM
missioner and has been state commit
teeman for his party and twice served
as county chairman. He was born al
kaysville, Utah, Dec. 49, 1853, arrived
on the present site of his home in
May, 1880, and has continued to reside
there ever since.
A STAUNCH DEMOCRAT.
Senator Pineock is a Democrat and
member Of the majority wing OF the
state senate. He had the honor of sue
ceeding in the upper house one Of the
leading Republicans OF the southeast
and one of the most able men of for
mer senates, Senator Nathan Kicks
When the presidential electors met in
Boise last month Senator Pincock
was the only one of the four who was
not a candidate to cast 1daho's cleo
toral votes in the electoral college His
duties as senator held him at his post
here.

am not as slick politician, or as bull
headed as he seems to think. Since
/ have been auditor of Clarendon
county, / have used my very best eff
fort to give the people of the county
a clear honest administration of al!
the affairs connected with the office.
and at the same time comply with
the demands of higher authority. Mr..
johnson says that upon investigation
he found that l was making up my
records and refusing to enter up the
road tax without even consulting au-
thority. AS matter of fact when
1 read Mr.. Johnson's Bill, did not
know exactly what to do, as it SEEM
ed to me the old Road Law, and the
new law passed by Mr.. Johnson, was
on.conflict, and at once wrote Comp.
Gen. Sawyer, who is head of the Tax
Department, to advise me. Here is
Mr.. Sawyer's reply to my letter:
columbia, S. c., March 9th, 1917.
Mr.. A. P. Burgess, Auditor Clarendon
County. Dear Sir: Relative to the
Road Taxes for. Clarendon county, 1
find that on the 18th day of February
the Governor signed Communication
Road Tax Act for Clarendon county,
which seems to 60 into effect 31st,
Dec, 1917. Under the terms of this
Act you will be required to keep a
separate book for these road taxes.
This system is in vogue in Saluda
county, and am enclosing you here
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-06-06

with sample of the duplicate which
is kept in the treasurer's office, and
also the form OF the Road Tax re-
ceipt. If you will have your county
commissioners to pass on this matter
and order q set of these books / will
be pleased to look after getting them
for you. Yours truly, Carlton w.
Sawyer, Comp. Gen."
This seemed plain to me but it
turned out that I was mistaken. No
question of politics has ever infuenc-
ed me in doing my duty, for am
the paid servant Of all the county
Mr.. Johnson's contention concerning
the duty to collect the same Road Tax
this year as last year is correct, and
l am glad because I am desirous of
being guided by the facts and the law.
But there is a reason for my misun-
derstanding to which the public should
know about. The Tax or fiscal year
runs from July 1st to June 30th. The
Tax books are made up to cover that
period. The new tax that Mr.. John
son provided, does not go into effect
at the beginning of new tax year,
but in the middle of a year. I do
not mean this as criticism of the
delegation, for that is their business,
and mine is to carry out the law. But
I state this so that the public may
understand that though I was mis-
taken, the mistake was due to the
reason given above.
Yours truly,
A. P. Burgess.
