axes Decrease 10 Per Cent tn
TWO YEARS OF FARMER AD-
MINISTRATION COMMENCING
TO TELL-INDEBTEDNESS HAS
NOT INCREASED.

The County Assessors and the
County Trasurer's Office informs the
Producers News that the taxes in
Sheridan county will decrease ten per
cent this year.
This in spite of the fact that the
Board of County Commissioners have
not co-operated with the real farmers
officials for the purposes of economy.
This is the first time that there has
not been an increase in taxes in
Sheridan county since it was orga-
nized.
The county has not increased its in
debtedness in the past two years since
the farmers have had control, and
next spring some of the bonds will be
retired.
Every year that the old gang was
in power, the county went into debt at
the rate of S123, 900 per year, even at
the time when the taxes were paid,
and the last two years, in spite Of the
fact that there are still thousands and
thousands Of dollars worth Rf delin-
quent taxes to be collected, yet the,
county has crept out of its financial
troubles. and this year the taxes are
lowered and in the spring some Of the
bonds will be paid thus stopping levy

again reducing interest.
This is a record to be proud of. If
you want this policy to continue do

ZUCK'S CANDIDACY
WELL. RECEIVED IN
ROOSEVELT co.

John @. Zuck, the educator-farmer
candidate for the house of representa-
tives, will be nominated on the repub-
lican ticket in Roosevelt county. Mr..
Zuck is a very well qualified man and
a pronounced progressive. He has
never beer a Lacquer as he has been
teaching school and did not join any
political organization. He was not
exactly brought out by the league, as
he had filed for the nomination before
TIE league had decided to endorse
candidates for the legislature, and at
the convention the delegates looked
over the timber already in the field
and made up their minds that they
could do no better than to support
Zuck as he was running on platform
satisfactory to the farmers. The
League then, not being satisfied with
the rest Of the candidates brought out
James Ostby of McCabe, a well
known, popular and successful farmer
for the nomination for the second
place in the house from that county.
It is the hopes Of all progressives that
the people will send two men to the
legislature who will support Gov. Dix
on's legislative program and if the
voters Of Roosevelt county want to
vote. for two men who are on record
as being behind the governor, they
can do SO better than cast their votes
for Ostby and Zuck.
