they were doing the thing they had
promised to do, and which the law
requires of them. The taxpayer can
expect anything from these men ex-
cept horse sense, common honesty and
decency.
In connection with the above doc
tors claims, it might be well also, to
call attention to the fact, that the
county also pays out $500 month,
half of the salary of. the Red Cross
nurse, which amounts to $500 per.
year.
Attention of the taxpayers is called
to the fact, that the claims OF Dr.
Sells and DR.. Storkan for the months
of February and March compare
very favorable with their claims
of the months of May and April. At
ter DR.. Campbell left Plentywood, and
DR.. Sells and Dr. Storkan formed their
combine, the cost to the county for
medical services have trebled and
ouadrupled. Taking the last two
months for a criterion, DIR. Sells and
DIR. Storkan between them will ex-
tract about $4,000 from the tax
payers this year, which is very fair.
DR. Storkan and Or. Sells are now
very fond of Commissioners Tyler
and Ibsen. They meet them at the
train and take them out and feed
them, and even associate with them,
telling them what brave fellows they
are, and how they admire their spirit
of independence, and splendid cour-
age in passing all of their claims, and
they also assure these simple people
that they performed a heroic public
service when they scorned the farmers
and by actions told them go home
and s1op the hogs" and protested be-
cause a number Of taxpayers called
upon them and asked them to do their
duty, when giving Dolin the printing
contract, and thus put the Producers
News out Of cuisines, SO that that pa
per can't publish the news any long
er, and keep the people informed as
10 what is going on at the court
house and otherwise, which thing is
not right and proper, while Messrs.
Tyler and Ibsen cuddles up and
smile sheepishly, and seem satisfied.
If the County Commissioners could
only find the energy to work more
than four hours day, and then if
they could only find something for
Mr.. Link to do, that would shoe him
from his nest in the Commissioners
room, where he sets every living
moment that the Board of County
Commissioners are in session pulling
down salary of $500 per day Just
for making splendid ornament out
of himself, they could probably write
to other counties and find out how
o L. ho,
the County Health office and how
they are taking care of the county
poor, and it might be possible to get
a sensible idea if Jud Matkins did
net shoe it away. Messrs. Tyler
and Ibsen might write to Lewis
& Clark county and get a copy
of the contract which that coun-
ty has with its health officers where
they pay good man 81 500 per year
Cor attending to the work in that Of
fee, which contract forSid the doctor
to engage in private prsetice, and
which provides for careful inspections,
treatment of all veneral diseases Te-
ported. and the holding Of baby elm
les all of the time. The iartor is al
loved nurse. The amount of work
is several times as great as in She1i-
ds.n county, but Of course the Sherl-
dar county doctors are much superior
to the doctors at Helena, and Tyler
and Ibsen would not want t.. 10 any
thing Ike that because the Producers
News suggested it, and to Ro anything
that the Producers News suggests
would detract from .hes splendid
opinion which the doctors combine
holds of Mr. Ibsen and Tyler's heroic
contempt for public opinion and for
ordinary horse sense.
