Editor Butler of Froid
Tribune Backs Pop
lar For County Seat

Froid Publisher Gives Reason Why
He Believes County Seat Should
Not Be Moved From It's Present
Location. He Points Out the Fact
That the Present Equipment Is Suf-
ficient and Ample for the Needs of
the County for Many Years. An
other Argument Is that Poplar is
Centrally Located While Wolf Point,
the Contender, Is Situated in the
Extreme Southwestern Corner of
the County and 1t Follows Then
That If the County Offices Should
Be Moved to the Latter Place 1t
Would Cost More to Run the Coun-
ty.
In the following clean-cut editorial,
which appeared in his paper last week,
Editor A. R. Butler, publisher of the
Froid Tribune, endorsed Poplar for
county seat and gave the reasons why
he was taking that position.
The editorial follows:
POPLAR FOR COUNTY SEAT
We note with much interest that
Poplar has launched it's campaign for
county seat. Commencing last Mon
day with big old-time rally at Pop
lar, to be followed up with public
meetings throughout the whole coun-
ty; the campaign bids fair to be most
extensively waged between now and
election day. On the other hand Wolf
Point is shining up her artillery and
sharpening her claws to do her durn-
dest to move the county seat down the
high line % miles, to the far corner
of the county. :,
POPLAR contends that being central
ly located, both geographically and as
to population, it is the logiIl place
for the seat of government of Roose-
welt County, and that no good reason
can be advanced for moving it. Furth-
ermore, the county officers are now
well established at Poplar, and we
must admit that the court house in
the spacious brick building is far bet
ter than ANYTHING either in Daniels,
Sheridan, Richland or McCone coun-
ties, which are our Surrounding coun-
ties. The present equipment is sui
ficient and ample for the needs OF the
county Cor many years to come. 10
move would necessarily put the tax
PAYERS 20 big expense. 1t has been
estimated that it would cost about
$40. 900 to tear down the equipment
at Poolar and rebuild and erect it at
Wolf Point. Without doubt, this bust
ness of moving county seats from
place to place is an expensive pastime
for the taxpayer. This newspaper
stands squarely for economy and at
all times desires to save taxes and to
uphold economy in all governmental
affairs, be it state, county Of lpcal. ~.
From our view point, therefUfe It
would seem that there is really no
advantage TO be gained by going to
a tremendous expense of tearing down
