File Petition For
Co. Seat Election

A petition signed by over two hun
dred farmers of the Vida, Terrace,
and Sand Creek country was filed
with Clerk and Recorder Jesse F.
Dave, last Wednesday afternoon ask.
ing that the County Commissioners
call special election for the purpose
Of determining the permanent loca-
tion of the county seat of McCone
County.
The commissioners, we understand,
have to meet within ten days to de-
termine whether or not the petition
is sufficient to call an election, and
II so set a date for the special elec-
tion. We presume that by next
weeks publication we will be able to
inform our readers whether ors not
the election is called.
The people of the above mention
ed communities don't seem to care
great deal for expenses, and rather
than wait and have the vote on this
matter at the next general election
as provided in the bill, are asking that
the commissioners call special elec-
tion, at big expense, to decide the
matter. If it would be definitely de-
cided at this election it wouldn't be
SO bad, but in order that any town can
become the permanent county seat
it must receive majority of all votes
cast or 81 percent, and this is almost
an impossibility. Consequently if no
town receives a majority, then the
fight for county seat honors will be
between the two towns receiving the
highest votes at the special election
and will have to be voted upon again. |
At any rate Circle is not worrying |
any, and when the smoke of the big |
battle, which is barely begun has |
blown away it will be found that the |
county seat of McCone county will
still remain at Circle.
About two weeks ago the people of |
the north end were invited to Vida |
for the purpose OF boosting Vida for
COuuty 6Cdt dI tAO uCAt 1IANIIIlAh
but no agreement could
be made at that time as to whether
it should be at Vida, or Terrace which
is two miles further north and east,
in fact they say every farmer wanted
it on his farm. However another
was held few days ago at
Sand Creek and it was then evident
Iy decided to not wait till the GEN
ERAL ELECTION as first contemplat
ed but "go to it now. And we also
hear that an agreement has been
reached between Vida and Terrace to
The effect that they want to place
he county seat of McCone
County out on the prairie somewhere
between the two places. Oh ,
BOY. More later. ,

STATE COMMISSION IN SHARP REPORT
Can Take Care Of Self, Is Reply To Protest Over
 "Wildcatters'

PHOENIX, May .24-Assuring Gov ernor Campbell that the state cor poration commission feels able to take care of itself and it's duties" and informing the executive that his press agents arrived at erroneous conclu- sions" the corporation commission to- day replied to the governors letter enclosing complaint sof licensed brok- CTS against the operations of alleged "wildcatters"
 The letter to the executive, which was signed by A. E. Stelzer, secre- tary of the commission, said in part:
 ''The commission desires to state that they were surprised that this cor respondence was given to the press and was published before it had reach ed them. Whether your purpose has been served in it's publication. or whether you are actually desirous of seeing that violators of our laws aer brought to account, is a matter we are unable to determine in the light Of your procedure.
 Tt can be stated, however, that your press agents arrived at erron- eous conclusions, in that the commIs- sion was in any manner influenced by your communication, since it had taken action regarding Texas trust companies previous to the receipt of your communication"
 The letter after quoting a telegram from "Mr. Williams" sent from Tue son to the governor, complaining of wildcat brokerage activities and say ing that no action could be gotten from the commission continues:
 There is nothing of record in our office in support of MT. Williams statement that the commission has been asked for any ruling. The fact that these two telegrams originated in Tucson on May 10 and were re- ceived in Phoenix at the same time and both calling upon the governor for help, leads the commission to suggest that help should be rendered them by the governor, since their in- spiration must have resulted from a common source"
 We wish to assure you and all oth- CT residents of the state that the com mission is more than willing to CO., operate at all times in any matter within it's jurisdiction when properly presented in good faith. We are forced to the conclusion that this particular instance was an effort on some ones part to pose before the public at the expense of the commission.
 We wish further to assure you that the commission feels able to take care of itself and its duties-
