p75bing of banks from the inside in
Vo7tana IN recent years proved it
.sf To be as safe and lucrative an
Undertaking as was holding up trains
n gold mining country in the days
Of old.
Ind don't think that the days of
crooked bankers has passed. When
ever YOU see bankers interested in
he election of County Commission
as yau can bet your bottom dollar
thai they are angling for deposits
sf county money in their banks. You
know what happened to over $780,
900 of the taxpayers money in some
Sheridan County banks in the past.
The same things happened in Chou
tau and other counties throughout
tie state. Big deposits of county
money has often proved a predis-
posing cause Of bank wrecEing from
the inside. And don't let them fool
y0u that Surety bonds are ample pro-
lection for county funds. The state
courts are now full of cases where
uunties are trying to collect from
Surety companies taxpayers money
lost in defunct banks. Until the
blnkng system undergOes a radical
change the safest place for the tax
payers money, and for the banks
for that matter, is in the County
Ireasurers' vault. The voters should
keep this in mind when they are
voting for County Commissioners.
GOVERNOR ERICKSON states that
he is reducing the state debt at the
rate Of Sl0O per day. If he is he is
Carrying out his prediction promises
bitter than anybody expected and
much better than he accomplished
Fith his Inefficient help last year.
But old John is accomplishing more
Tor himself and the state as on oil
investor than he ever did as Gov
enor. He is the states greatest oil
advertiser. Five years ago he in
vested 500 in an Oil Syndicate in
The hevin field. Today he draws
100000 per month from that in
yestment. Like tn 6 lOngheaired
