STILL MORE MONEY
FINDS IT WAY BACK
TO The TREASURY

After the "Three Blind Men" and
others made their trip down to the
Twin Cities week or so ago, $685.
% Of seed grain money found its
way into the Golfers of the county.
1t is to be hoped that few more
trips are made with the same happy
results.
The Seed Grain fund may then be
entirely refunded and it will save
taxpayers the trouble and expense OF
suing the bondsmen of the Board OF
County Commissioners.
1t the seed grain money had been
handled as it should have been, by
buying the first class seed grain for
sale and available and offered to tn,
county at $2.10 and less per bushel
and the distribution had been honest.
instead of buying lot of dirt and
inferior grain from the Montana &
Dakota Grain Company, the farmers
could have saved thirty-eight cents
per bushel on seed wheat, and 1t
would not have cost the county over
a thousand dollars to administer the
fund.
For the seed grain incompetence
the farmers and taxpayers will pay
about $4,000.
A nice sum to throw away. isn't it?

or its friends and that for that rea-
son he hoped to see Froid win out;
| that Frold had treated the farmers
best in the last campaign; was the
best league town in the new county
and was a town that could receive
the county officers with less influence
towards graft or questionable politi-
cal methods than any other town ac-
lively IN the campaign and that
farmers would feel more at home
than they would feel in towns that
allowed such unAmerican antics and
lawlessness and mobbing and terror
ism as was tolerated and actually
encouraged by the authorities of the
new county, whose officials all come
from the towns along the main line
except Wolf Point and that not a
thing had been done by the new
county officials toward bringing the
Brockton mobbers and criminals to
justice who recently mobbed a league
organized and Dragged about it as.
If it had been lawful and proper
thing to do, instead of being a crime;
that the farmers should remember
such tactics, directed straight at
them and vote to put the county
seat in a place where such crimes are
not encouraged and sympathized with
and it has been at Brockton by the
indifference of the county officials of
Roosevelt county: let US not favor
those who spit upon us, who abuse
US and lie about us: let us reward the
town which has treated US decent
and the town in which the league
farmers can come feeling perfectly
safe that they will receive the pro-
lection due good American citizens
and where none of them will take
chances Of being murdered by an
insane mob of gfafters ad thieves.
After the speaking the hall was
given over to a dance which lasted
well into the small hours of the
morning.
The league as a policy is very
anxious to see new counties created
and for that reason that organiza-
ton would like to see the county
seat of Sheridan county go to the
eastern part of Roosevelt county, be-
cause of the fact that it will be
cashier to form a new county out of
the west end of the county by TAX
ing territory from Valley and Nc
Cone county than it would be to
form new county in the future out
of the east half of the county which
will be necessary if the county seat
goes to the west end of the county.
