GEM is SATISFIED.

We have noticed the discussion be
tween the Payette Enterprise an(
New Plymouth sentinel regarding
thu question of Payette county. We
have been somewhat surprised at the
Sentinel taking position against the
creation of the new county. We feel
that Gem county has been a success.
Because Of our area and compact
ness we have been able to economize
along all lines. Our taxes have not
increased, although the levy in Gem
county is higher than in Canyon cou
ty the valuations have been lower
ed enough to offset it.
We have yet TO see a tax payer
in Gem county who is dissatisfied
with the creation of Gem county. AS
a whole We are much pleased wi b
the results obtained in our new coun-
ty. We have had an opportuni y to
spend our own money in our own
community not controlled by 9th srs.
We are liking our roads and bridges
and soon viii make SIN a pride to
our section q the country. We know
the men who are running for offic
and therefore we are comp otent to
select the best men for Office! We
are receiving better service from
county OF Ulcers than ever in the
Emmett Examiner.
