paper in Gunnson that did that very thing with
every in which he his ticket had interest
! it is the distinguished News Champ
i If any interested citizen up the
they the Commissioners record and peruse the
resolution under which the garage deal officially
horized If that resolution recfted the truth the
five feet of lot eight conveyed Plenty time
has elapsed the deal up permit
who have access to the agreement modify
but the public is compelled consider the
ter as one of record in the proper place the County
Clerks Office And that record is identical with
statement.
! We presume it little than criminal for news
paper who favors peoples rights against the
schemes of the eaters cite public documents
if such citation tends awaken the public the
that they being skinned. However, going to
commit that and other similar and msdemeanors
so long single crooked deal is attempted in official
circles in this county.
The Perfect Lady" Henrietta pretends to be demo-
We here and firmly that democ ratio
party cannot be maintained graft and dishonesty
either in this any other county. The party
fends what is taking place here writes nis the
of the chapter.
Henrietta is mighty good example of what follows
unbrided treasury looting For years years
been steady beneficiary of the powers that prey He
has fed like fat swine at the public trough what
has it really proted him? Easy easy go has been
the motto and when the Republican has his
hold the county teat when his subscribers leaving
him in patoons when his heretofore almost worshpful
stockgrowing interests roast him in their meetings
when his junk pile of a newspaper no longer able to
get living without earning it, he is helpless sissy
mouthing charges and denuncations that get him
ing Henrietta is much peeved put because once
some time ago he offered to bet $40 in
ten dollars each the accuracy statement of
deal made with his respected father insisted that he
nad horned IN and been party thereto. incidentally
that might have been true without our knowledge We
dd not take him up for two The that
we did not have the money to bet The second that
grandma always told to avoid robbing fool or strk
ing cripple both Of which the Sissy" is Crippled in
the head)
Whether we saw fit to take his money or lose ours
does not at this time have any analogy to the
county of Gunnison paying $1,000 for garage property
that is worth at the outside not than 500 You
say we try out of well, introduce
some more testimony For many years the whole garage
property was assessed at S1,600 At Mr. lawmakers
election Mr.. Link of the Tax Commission came over and
insisted on raise. Finally the assessed ST. 400
placed the whole property and that is what II
assessed for now.
! The commissioners sought buy two-fifths of the
structure the oldest part for s110OO And according
Henrietta it is constructive contempt
contempt of the Hon. Commissioners to call to
the deal and show its corruption, and for sissy
is telling the truth We have contempt any official
who will conspre rob all the people benefit of
few.
Now gang" your gate, you political hermaphrodte
Devote your attention to this editor He office
and is not seeking any, You prove anything on us
and not thereby abate ot title of the responsible
ity of friends for their msdemeanors Neither will
determination
of the people to exact restitution. As advocate and
counselor Henrietta to quote popular slogan YOU are
every day in every way growing hummer and hummer

NOTHING be clearer than the fact that Governor
Sweet is to be defeated in his efforts consolidate
departments and effect only efficiency economy in
the administration of affairs Well the blame can
be easily placed. The Governor kept the faith
with considerable satisfaction that the Rocky Mountain
News has steadily the republicans support the
Governors wise and constructive measures Also the
warning to the republicans that they and they alone
would bear the blame for failure the abuses
that have grown under the four years of repub
lcan misrule Of the Governor can and will
do much to reduce expenditures but if he had sincere
legislature with him great things could be accomplished
Our own Senator Rockwell is doing what he can to en-
the Governor and defeat his measures

fok some time now we have been corresponding with
certain North Fork growers They have lost faith
that they will ever get fair price market for
their stuff AT present forming small co-opera
tive selling agencies and they our peope
ana all Others who need fruit in organize small
buying units that order in rather quantities d
rect from the growers There question that sucb
an arrangement would make for cheaper and better
fruit and would insure the growers there market
for part of their product We far away Ito be
served by motor truck if railroad is as nno
tent next year it this. We would like to hear
from people who interested perhaps great good
may result to all of Call when in town and talk II
