A Reminder
Of Old Times

L. A. Wikoff. fol mer old timer
of Baca county and at one time
editor of the Springfield Herald,
was in town the first of the
week. and among other things
gave some refreshing incidents
of the days when Baca county
was in hen OF fix very much
as it is now.
At that time the officers cut
their own salaries-county sup
erintendent accepting $3.50 a
year, the county assessor the
same. and clerk, treasurer and
sheriff along the same line; but
one of the particularly refresh
ing ones was that the republican
on the board of county commits
sioners, who lived the closest to
town, demanded and took his
SIS 90 a day allowed by law,
while the two democrats would
not take more than So so day.
L. A. at that time had twenty
quarters of land. and on these
he paid $500 taxes. Last year
on nineteen quarters he pail
$500. 90 taxes, and this year has
to pay $352. 60 taxes.
But the question is, could they
afford to Gu. their salaries 40 per
cent at g time salaries were 40
per cent lower than now. better
than they could afford to cut
their salaries since they have
been boosted 40 per cent; and is
it easier for the farmer to pay
$500. 90 in taxes now than it was
to pay $4,000 in those Old days?

Today there are practically no

Well, you've got us stumped.
