ISSUES STATEMENT
ON COUNTY AGENT
r. S. Smith Gives Cost Figures
Taken From Reports Of
County Clerk

The following signed statement
anent the controversy over the pro-
pOsal to abolish the office of county
agent has been submitted to The
Courier for publication:
"To the Taxpayers Of
Gallatin County:
while the controversy over the
county agents office has been raging
for some time, and numerous state
ments, pro and con, have been made,
certain important facts relating to
the expenditure of county money in
that connection have not been given
to the public.
ct is my purpose to point out, for
the information Of Gallatin county
taxpayers, that the office Of the
county agent, according to the an
nual reports Of the county clerk and
recorder, costs much more than pop
ularly supposed.
Following are the detailed ex'
p~endintures for 1928, 1924, and 1925.
as CLEANED from the aforementioned
reports. Taxpayers should scan theEl
carefully and draw their own con-
illusions.
For fiscal year 1929:
County Agent Farm Bureau:
Salaries agent and deputy..$ 3,155.OS
"Office expense 699.lt
Travelling expense .. 144.4i
Gopher destruction fund, 1,O9s.11
Insect pest fpnd- 4,979.8l
.Wf F
Total ....---.s1O,O76.5
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-09-23
For fiscal year 1924-25:


ITO the totals for each Of these
years should be added the 5000 e
ceived from the state and the 5000
from the federal government to be
expended by the county agents Of
flee. Criticism that the expenditures
for gopher and insect pest eradica-
ton should not be included I'M these
totals may be answered by the OBJ
vious fact that were no county agent
employed, there would be no such ex-
penditures.
Striking an average on these coun-
ty totals, it is found that the county
agents office for the last three years
has cost Gallatin county an average
Of $6,7O7.76 a year. Money received
from the state and federal govern
ment is not included in arriving st
this average expense.
these facts should be carefully
considered by taxpayers before max
ing a decision on the proposal to
abolish or retain the office Of county
agent. This is a fair, square and
labove1board proposition, and the only
question to- be settled is whether the
benefits derived from the office are
worth what it costs.

American farmers that they may

From intentions expressed by the
farmers it appears that the prices for
wheat at the beginning Of the season
were causing them to plan to increase
the area seeded" the Secretary said
1t is mainly. however, a partial crop
failure, which has redu ed produc-

domestic needs, and which together
with the tariff, has caused farmers TO
receive prices somewhat better than
at the beginning of the season Iast.
