VALLEY COUNTY WILL
NOT ELECT AUDITOR
New Classification Will Place County
In Sixth Class Automatically
Abolishing Office Of Auditor

H. G. Wolking the present County
Auditor informs us that, at a special
meeting of the Board of County Com
missioners to be held next Saturday
they will declare the class of the coun-
ty, this classification to hold for the
next two years.
According to the valuations as they
appear on the Assessment Books of
the County there will be no choice in
the matter but to place it in the sixth
class. This will result in disseminating
the office of County Auditor, and low
ering the salaries of practically all
other County Officials with the excep-
ton of the Surveyor and the Commits
s~ioners.
This change is caused by the new
tax law, which requires all property to
be placed on the assessment Books at
the full and true value and then using
various percentages of this amount
for the purpose of assessment. Valley
County lost, approximately two mil
lion Dollars in taxable valuation in this
manner, and only that portion on
which the taxes are levied can be used
in a~scertaining the class to which the
county is entitled.

THE DEADLY COMPARISON

Cooperation! It's a nice big word
and some of the Nonpartisans are as
proud of it as a little boy showing his
mas company what big words he can
spell. Cooperation! There isn't a
happy home nor a successful business
in u land today but what is built
on cooperation. All government is
founded on cooperation, either the
willing cooperation of a free democ.
racy like ours, or the fear driven
obedient cooperation of the subjects
of a king or sultan.
Cooperation! May God grant us the
ability to further extend and apply it,
to the end that the service shall more
nearly fit the opportunity and the re-
ward shall more nearly fit the service,
and may the devil fly away with those
who would claim the reward and
slight the service.
But l wish somebody would drive it
into the heads of the Nonpartisans
that cooperation rests on faith and
trust between man and man, and they
who try to blacken the motive of all
who oppose them, who preach disbe-
lief, who say by %insinuation the things
they dare not say openly, are putting
obstacles in the way of successful,
helpful cooperation.
Take faith from the home and it's
happiness has fled, sow distrust among
business associates and the success of
that business is at an end. In social
life-I suppose every community has
its gossip or scandal monger who
makes it her business to air all the
dirty linen, drag all the skeletons from
their closets, and if she fails to find
any she vehemently insists that there
must be something extra bad or it
wouldn't be hidden so deep that her
sharp nose couldn't smell it out.
1t makes an old bachelor wonder if
the ladies really like that sort of
thing, and if they will vote for the
party which depends or the tactics of
the scandal monger for its political
success.
Cooperation! Our government is
the biggest cooperative enterprise on
earth, but I do not understand the
philosophy of the men who are for
ever crying "graft" seeking to dis
credit every official, be he elected or
appointed, and then in the next breath
crying for more government owner
ship, more government control, unless
they have taken a cue from Lincoln's
remark about there being "too many
pigs for the teats" and they intend to
provide teats enough to give every
ambitious porker a chance.
The above was suggested by reading
an article and editorial in the Local
Nonpartisan sheet, of Sept. 2 accus'
