CONFERENCE OVER
COUNTY AFFAIRS
EXPENDITURES OF ROOSEVELT
COUNTY OFFICIALS MUST
BE CUT

Froid, Nov. 25.-While it has been
apparent to the casual observer for
a number of years that the state,
county, school districts and town ex-
penditures for public purposes have
been heavier than they should be,
says an article in the Froid Tribune,
yet it took this years tax receipt to
wake up a portion of the populace to
the stern realization that this cannot
continue longer and that a concerted
effort will have to be put forth and
the pruning knife used unsparingly
in the various subdivisions to bring
a reduction for another year and for
several years to come.
Bankers and Officials Meet
At an informal meeting held at
Bainville Monday night most of the
county officials met with a number of
bankers of the county and a very
interesting evening was spent in 60
ing through the budgets of the differ
ent offices. Each office was taken up
separately and it was determined to
a degree just how the money was
spent; what salaries were paid to
deputies, how many are employed,
etc. In some of the offices it is APP
parent that reductions both as to
and the number employed
IAN and should be made. The big
tenn, of course, is the money spent
or road purposes and it is quite gen.
rally accepted that new road con-
truction should be suspended and
My so much repairing and dragging
lone to roads as is absolutely neces-
airy.
The commissioners are OF course in
position to carry out this program
nd to them is entrusted this mater
o a great extent. The taxpayers
hould continue to investigate and
impress upon the board that a re-
uction of taxes is necessary and to
nsist that the budgets for the COM
1g year are very closely scrutinized
nd that the expenditures in the var
1us offices are kept at a minimum.
To Cut Other Expenditures
1t is not enough, however, to apply
ne economy treatment to the county
fficials alone; this must also be done {

H. S. STUDENTS WILL
COMPETE in AID WRITING

A novel plan conceived by E. G.
Nelson of the Home Meat Market
will give the students of the high
school a chance to exercise their a
bility as writers of advertisements,
and earn. some nice cash prizes.
Mr.. Nelson will have the students,
as many as wish to try, write adver-
tisements of his market each week
for ten weeks. Of those offered each
week the best one will be selected
and used in The Herald and the sue
cessful competitor will be paid $500
in cash.
The first of the students ads APP
pears in this issue and was written
by Sadie Havner. AS the ten-weeks
series progresses the interest will in
crease, and to add to the interest
and encourage the idea The Herald
offers for the best advertisement of
the ten selected by the Home Market
an additional prize of $500 in cash,
or one years subscription to The
Herald (either new of renewaD. A
competent judge or judges will be
ten ads after all have appeared.
A few suggestions to the Compel
itors for these prizes will not be ont
of place at this time.
Avoid the common fault Of ads
that are too wordy. Mr.. Nelson says
that he has set a limit of 100 words,
which is a great plenty for the
space he has specified of two col
umns wide and about eight inches
deep. Use few words that say much,
and leave room for cuts to illustrate
the adj. We have some especially
for the holiday season. Your
ad will be mucch more effective if
it is possible to use some large type
and a cut.
Remember that the greatest es-
to the writing Of a pulling adj
gertisement is familiarity with the
hing vol are advertising. Visit the
Home Market, ask questions and
Keep your eyes and ears open. !;
Make your ad copy specific and

general. Study the style employed

in the various school districts anc
town governments. The school taxes
are a very high item in the list and
it is generally admitted and felt that
altogether too much has been spent
unnecessarily by the various school
boards-especially in towns There
must be a trimming up all around
even if it is necessary to cut numbers
and salaries.
No Buck Passing"
We are not in harmony with the
plan of passing the buck" that is to
say in shifting the blame onto some
others shoulders. This condition
simply exists-we have all been con-
tributors, now let us all get into the
harness and apply the remedy intel
ligently and in good spirit.
All One Family
We are all one family-that which
hurts one hurts all . We cannot afford
to tax ourselves into poverty or tax
ourselves off the soil which is to sus-
tain us. Intelligent investigation and
supervision will do the trick. All
should inform themselves as to their
home government and do that which
is best. We hope that the little meet
ing held at Bainville Mondey night
will be the nucleus for a greater
spreading into every town
and every school district, and last
but not least, into the system of
every individual. Each taxpayer
acquainted with the working of his
county government and he should
also feel that a certain lot is en-
,rusted to him and if he fails to per-
his part he cannot expect the
he prays for.
S34,6OO In Defunct Bank
1t is we'll to state here that upon
lose investigation it is found that
Roosevelt county has on deposit with
he First National Bank in Poplar
$4,000 (not 100000 as a Plenty
wood paper would have us believe)
nd further that this deposit is Sc
ured by a personal bond signed by
our people who r fully worth the
mout. The money of course will be
led up for a period bnt the commits
toner's do not anticipate a loss.
Call for Warrants Soon
There will be a call for warrants
n December 2 and another about
anuary End, and it is the plan to
ay off as many warrants as it is
ossible and then distribute the bal
nee of the county funds quite {
qually among the banks of the 5
ounty who can file proper bonds.

Aitken was soon racing at his old
