have taken in the matter, which con
stitutes nothing more than a con

part of Messrs. Watkins and Coryell
TO see what the final outcome will be
wnen if it is found that the above
gentlemen can get away with theil
drag, then like bunch Of vultureS
they will come in swoop to collect
their Illegal claims.
County Auditor O'Grady, aided by
The Producers News has made an
| honest and reasonable fight against
huge odds to put Sheridan county
onto an honest business basis, TO put
ing on, and at all times they have been
ing on, and at all time hey have been
willing to be generous in the inter
probation Of the law, but it seems that
they 2rc playing constantly against
st;rkcd deck, and that there is a
banditati @ political second story ar
fists in this county, who are deter
mined that this county and the tax-
payers are going to be picked clean
before they are forced to separate
themselves from the pu5lic bone.
Take Coryell for insca7lca: he is
hired by The county by the day, and
he gets in every day Of the year some
way or ether in the county service.
In other counties just rs big ;ls this,
the county surveyor does not get IL
half time taken the year arotlnti. Eat
it costs Sheridan county 81 per Gay
for three hundred and thirteen days
DER year and investigation would
probably disclose some Sunday work,
besides money for a deputy most Of
the time, just to do the Insignificant
amount O surveying that is required
il 4 prairie country like Sheridan
county, Montana, or in other words
it cost 313 times 81 per day or $3.50
per year, Or on average Of SlS2 per
month, twelve months out of the year,
and besides this during the eight
months called summer, this same gen
tleman collects Amazing from $3.50 10
$500 per month for driving his own
car about the county, and then tins
man comes in and reStities that it
costs him that amount OF money 10
drive his car.
We would suggest that the taxpay-
ers could we'll afford to compel the
county surveyor and the county COM
to ride On the train and
hire driving teams and thereby save
five or ten thousand dollars per year.
One day Mr.. Coryall made $50 and
some cents driving his car about in
speeding roads.

Ask Judge Conner AS ExOfco Auditor to Audit Claims
20 Cents Per Mile Actual Expense
: OFFICERS PAY FOR CAR EACH YEAR

The claims OF Jud Matkin and c.
L. Coryell which they had taken in
the past to Judge Conner as ex-officio
auditor in their effort to get the
Judge to order their phony bills paid
and which the Judge refused to do
because of the fact that the claims
We're not properly itemized, but now
like the old cat, they are back in the
court with their claims properly
tented, in Il new endeavor to get
the Judge, as ex-oficio auditor, to al
low the claim over the head of Coun-
ty Auditor O'Grady, who cut the
claim for actual automobile travel
ing expense from 20 to 10 cents per
mile.
The County Auditor has set a face
Of flint against this robbery of the
taxpayers, and robbery is Just what
it is. According to a strict interpre-
tation Of the law, county official has
absolutely no right to use his own car
at all or in otherwise contract with
the county, any more than they have
a right to buy road grader and
hire out to build road for the county
at actual expense. The entire sys-
tenn Of hiring q car from oneself and
running al auto livery as far as the
county is concerned on the part of
each county official is absolutely
against public policy, and is Illegal
per Sc, and as RAJ IS law is concerned
not one Of t5sse officials can collect
and should IGt - allowed to collect
one red cent. ''''lcGa officials have
.hpgged things lGn.g enough and the
people have SEQ Ior it, not because
it is lawful, Il bolause the people
wanted to be reasonable.
The County EuItor has long since
been aware *i?a. these rIsino- a~ainst
the county or he part Of the county
commissioner Tor the hire of their
own cars were unlawful, but wanting
to take into cons, ration the changed
conditions which lave come about
since the lan vas made, she has
been willing d 20 raise the point
OF the law and 1Gcognized q custom,
but these oi.i~ijls are not. willing to
take half an illegal loaf, hut they
must have it all. And the point Of il
legality in reference TO the ordinary.
county official is doubly true in re-
gard to County Commissioners, who
by the very nature Of things, would
De making a contract with them
selves to hire a car from themselves
as an auto liveryman, but which in
divlduals as county commissioners
must audit and allow their own claim
for services rendered TO the people by
themselves.
The entire claims are Illegal and
patiently unlawful, and the collection
OF these fat automobile charges are
nothing more than barefaced graft,
and an honest and reasonable man
cannot call it by anything but just

brick just as they have in the past.
Two hundred thousand dollars
mems $500 relief for 400 people which
will not be half adequate for the re-
lief required.
It viii mean that those who stand
in with Messrs. Watkins and Tin1mons
will probably get relief, and those
who have offended these supreme
Iulers vii lget what Pady shot at.
1t will mean that those who do not
get any of this money will probably
have to pay $4,000 per year in in
terest for not less than i've years or
$50, 900 in interest in order, that these
probably favored few may get the re-
lief and while the rest will probably
have to shift for themselves.
It will be great relief for bank
ers who have On hand a lot of poor
bets.

WAKES UP

And now we perceive that all over
the state the taxpayers are waking
up to the graft in the land classifi-
cation graft. The assessor of Lewis
& Clark county has payed his taxes
under protest and will take the
matter to the Supreme Court. In
Richland and Dawson and other
counties the taxpayers are forming
organizations to take this matte to
the courts. 1t would be well for al
of these counties to throw in with
Sheridan county and take. the mat
ter up on one appeal and thus save
money.

night In special train under u heavy
guard on their way to an Atlantic

deported at once by the immigration
authorities.
Forty of the prisoners came direct

an official with the train said. Just
two hours before the Seattle strike
was called We gathered forty agitators
into the cars with everything cleared
away between them and the middle of
year the immigration service has
been working quietly in all industrial
centcrs checking up on the strange
aliens, who have appeared and gath

compiled against this particular crowd.
each case was brought TO a Federal

by Secretary OF Labor Wilson. The
secretary has the power to order this
