In reply to the many talsehoous
that nave been published OTTO mlsleau
the people as to rate of taxation, We
will say that we have made carerui
study of the cost OF operating large
counties such as Dawson and custer
as against smaller, compact counties,
and we ind, and the State lax CON-
missioners' report bears us out in 1T,
that the smaller counties invariably
operate on lower tax even with a
valuation we'll below $4,000,00O. Ii
the large counties could be operated
more cheaply, why not have the whole
state in one county. In the East All
ordinary county comprises twelve To
twenty townships. We shall have "A
townships no part of which is closer
than 35 miles from the county seat
(Glendive). The Richland county por-
ton will be 80 to so miles closer to
county seat than it is at present, ana
the Redwater Valley will have it right
at home. Look at the saving of time,

know that the Sheriff's salary in Daw-

Inc mist Qo00rlOn Inat WISH n
answer is: ((Why have YOU not ex
planned to the public from the startth'
reason for trying to create the new
county, its size, lines and valuation
as well as publish from the start ths
names of the officers selected?" The
question is we'll taken and l will en-
deavor to answer it clearly. The rea.
sons for going to the legislature te
have the new county created was
first, to save the proposed new county
the cost of an election, perhaps $4,000
if we should have waited and created
under the McCone Law, then again,
under that law, as it is likeiy to pass,
it would take from six to nine months
to become operative if the campaign
was started now. Under its Prov
sions, petitions would have to be used
and it would not only cost enormous
sums for the promoters but would
lead to jagged boundary lines, very
uneconomical and inconvenient for the

county were created that way, we
would lose the 1919 taxes and lose
a county's share of Federal Aid in
road money, estimated to me by state
authorities at $4,000.
Three Commissioners Instead of One.
Again, by creating now, we would
not fh,,oo county CON, iccioporc in a
territory where there was only one
before, and that one in the portion
taken out of Richland County. With
three men in this area, who are ac-
quainted with conditions, and with
some $4,000 county road taxes at
their disposal, besides the Govern
ment money available, we could get
three times as much road work in the
district on the same road tax you now
pay, as we have been getting and we
have gotten considerable. The new
county board could designate the
main road to Richey as State High
way and because we get started early
In the season, we could have a set |
tied, gravelled truck road to market |
by fall. Then there would soon be
grain elevators at Circle and perhaps
at Brockway and Paxton to afforo
farmers local markets. The writer
has offers of more than a hundred
trucks to go onto such a road and
haul grain at reasonable rate per hun
bred. Look at the help to our farm
ersl This is the last year with $500
wheat, remember!
Now Opportune Time.
Then, again if this district is not
formed into one county now, it likely
never could be. We know of plans
already we'll under way to slice the
Redwater Valley and the western
part Of Richland to pieces, and form
new counties not so meritorious. The
reason we have failed to make pub
lie the boundaries of the proposed
county is simply that we have had to
:hange them several times and we did
lot wish to bewilder the people. Now
he lines are established and we has
