The producers news., 1924-09-19


inc, ever since the Doctor run a knife
into his conscience and killed it, ROg-
n came into possession Of some great
UlAent md warped Urain. He makes a !
A1le..,..I too, III the doctors business /
as n Mades Though the performance
of butchering me nth without any
compUnction. Unt date of August
Is, Roger states nat | sent them an
article fer pubh~t.lOn that was not
readable language Oh, no! Roger!
AS you h.-4o not here at the time,
who told you so?
Roger tells us that Uncle Sam has
laid down the rule to them what con-
stitutes readable language. By the
looks of all things, he needed to, but
we venture to believe there was no
other Uncle Sam around those prem
ises than that stiff from Butte, who
calls himself DR.. Storkan.
AS the article in question touched
lightly on the O'Grady peculations
and extravaganza, it was not readable
language.
The Doctor could not afford to Of
fend the OG'radys,-he's got the
county printing now, you know, and
will not take any chances of exposing
the crooks for that kind of work
he has in mind, he needs their ser
vice.
The Farmerine will protect and
shield them, while Roger attempts to
expose the others. Fine work, is it
not?
And he does it with such vigor, that
he forgets to put in any local news
of the week in his paper.
OF course the County Commission
ers, Tyler and Ibsen, need a brief
mention. They are the Grafters'
/ fricnds-they are very willing to al
low every eXhorbitant bill that comes
before them. They don't want to
know anything about economy when
I it comes to public funds. Their work
plainly proves that they have, ever
since they got into Office, been the
most Wasteful and eXtravagant of any
county board of commissioners in re
( cent years. Even bigoted the method,
the process of draining the county's
funds by the spigot and bunghole has
been toe slow for them. They have
/ knocked beth the top and bottom out
of the barrel and have let it flow free
! ly and the grafters and looters lost
no time In being on hand while pick
ing was good. Thousands upon thoCs-
ands of dollars have been stopped out
to outside attorneys. Good money has
been thrown after bad with no good
results.
There are those doctors cf Plenty
wood, l came very near saying, all
they ever moved to Plentywood for, is
to feed on the taxpayers. They draw
their salary regularly and put in their
bills. What do they do fer their
money? There is nearly always one
on hand every time the soft-headed
Commissioners meet and sets at the
end of table with a healthy hue and
rosy complexion derived off from
county funds which will run up in the
neighborhood of $4,000 a year.
The Sheridan County Memorial
Hospital receives a dowry of $4,000
per month from the county which we
very much doubt is legal.
The paUpers, there are enormous
sums squandered on them, called coun-
ty charges and probably half to two
thirds of that money could be saved.
1t only works to encourage laziness.
There we are maintaining a county
agent whose salary and expenses run
up to approximately $4,000 per
month. Why not suspend that ex-
pense until we are better able?
Also, the county library, which real
ly only benefits Plentywood.
There is also the gopher and grass
hopper expenses every year which
should be abandoned.
And lest we forget: how about some
of those numerous clerks and depu-
ties in some of the county Offices +?
Could not that expense be cut down
some. For instance, the Clerk and
Recorders, where from fifteen to
twenty-five find their domicile. Why
do not our county fathers censure such
loose eXtravagant methods in every
Office where it is necessary?
In reference to this wasting of the
taxpayers money, we would like to
ask the doctors who are nearly al
ways present, if the Commissioners
are asleep or blind that they let pad
ded bills pass Then when they wake
up they start costly litigations to re-
cover the money which is only sham.
Why not abandon those tactics? {?
Why not abolish the seed grain col
lector and cancel the farmers debts E?
They did not get much of crop,
rather than let the O'Grady's get
away with it? Can anyone explain
why those embezzlers are SC. enchant-
ing and enarmoring to some eff our
people? If it would be / who had con-
Quoted myself like that I would be
languishing in some JAIL But there
IS some people, who just loves them.
Some time ago l appeared before
the Commissioners asking for a
little fnanial aid to fix Up certain
places on mail route 2 which are i'm
passable or nearly so. I went over
the route and found it in very bad
condition full of dips and ruts and not
a shovel full of dirt had been moved
to those places. Some of the way
never a lick of work was ever done.
The commissioners, we understand
agreed to fix up the routa providinO
