LOCKHART NOT
ABLE TO COME
HERE TO RACE

Due to the postponement of the big
race at Bakersfield, Calf, from last
Sunday to this coming Sunday, Frank
Lockhart, worlds champion dirt track
automobile driver will not be abie
to come to Douglas for the speed
classic here on Washington's birthday
Jack Petticod, Canadian champion,
and one of Lockharts foremost rivals
Will arrive in this city Thursday for
the race however, and he is expected
to pilot his Miller Special across the
line a winner over all the local and
states drivers. 1t is the concensus
of opinion of the Douglas racers,
however, that Petticod can be beaten
and they will drive with that aim in
View. The Canadian champ who is
coming here from the coast has
trimmed Lockhart upon occasion. Pet
ticod has already shipped his Miller
and if all goes according to schedule,
will arrive in Douglas Thursday.
With the forced withdrawal OF
Lockhart, the local drivers have re-
gained much confidence. 1t rained
in Bakersfield on Sunday, according
to advices received from Lockhart,
and the race in which he was enter
/ ed there had to be postponed until
/ the coming Sunday, thus preventing
him from coming to Douglas on Mon

WELL WORTH WHILE

in connection Win the county fairs
and on a few important holidays, in
lop-sided track out in the flars
west of the city. The races there at
tracted good crowds ard were sue
cessful, as far as they went, but the
track was not gool one.
For several years nothing was done
to better the game because the coun-
ty fairs and other outdoor public
gatherings were> held about this
track and it was on 4 piece of ground
owned by the railroad. The city fear
ed to spend any great sum OF money
in fixing up a good track because
they believed that the railroad might
want the land at any time.
Finally, only a year and a half ago
a little group of public spirited men
headed by Rex 'Rice, Harry A. Clark
and some members and officers Of
the chamber of commerce, conceived
the idea of making a great amuse-
ment park, fair grounds and race
track at the aviation field north Of
the city.
The field was owned by the city.
The need for a permanent fair ground
and an athletic field had long been
an urgent one and a plan that at
first seemed vain was made reality.
Permanent fair buildings were ar
ranged for, a mi>e dirt oval track and
quarter mile straight track for
field sports were mapped out and a
race was staged. 1t was a grand
success. The county fair came off
with races as the grand attraction,
money was raised the track and the
fair buildings were fenced, the track
was finally made permanent and was
rolled down on solid foundation
and has now been oiled.
This track, a dream two years ago
is now rated as the best dirt track
in the southwest. A car parking
system is used so that the public
views the events from their cars and
every race that has been held has
been better than the one before.
The race Monday will not fail to be
worth seeing.

dence that they consider them
selves beaten in the state courts.
The facts are. that Mr.. Bearsley
has taken an unusual interest in
county tax litigation, and has
studied tax laws and has success
fully defended the county against
the railroads and has won every
time and we believe that he can
be expected to continue.
AS an illustration of authority
on tax law and willingness and
ability to defend the county. the
records will show that while Ham
ilton was prosecuting attorney, the
railroad ratios were permitted to
be lowered with an actual loss
to the county Of $4,000 in taxes.
Here is Hamilton's record:
Year 1919, ratio 43; 1920. Al;
1921. 40; 1922, 80.
Here is Beardsley's record:
Year 1923, ratio 40; 1924. AZ;
1925, A; 1926, 46.
These facts show that Benton
county lost $4,000 in. railroad
taxes while Hamilton was prose-
cutor and that the county gained
a total saving Of $4,000 while
Beardsley was prosecutor.
Hamilton would have the public
believe that there is dispute as
to who is entitled to the credit for
the big increase in the railroad
ratios. The fact is that the credit
belongs to the harmonious, earnest
work Of the prosecuting attorney,
county assessor and the commits
sioners. Beardsley is fair in ask
ing credit for his share in the
good results and Assessor Forsyth
is entitled to ask due credit for
his good work in securing and
compiling the necessary evidence.
During the years we have been
associated with Mr.. Beardsley in
county affairs, we have found him
to be unusually efficient. aggres-
sive and economical in his work
as county attorney. His honesty
and integrity are above reproach
and his ability and willingness to
do the county work are excellent.
We can vouch for these things and
desire the people of the county to
know.

GAINS $4,000 WITH
BEARDSLEY

There has appeared in some Of
the papers in the county. a. paid
advertisement bye. w. Hamilton,
democratic candidate for prosecut-
ing attorney. and as these articles
contain statements with reference
to county business with which we,
as county commissioners are ia
mlllar, desire to present to the
people. the true facts as we know
them to be. We have no desire to
become involved in any political
disputes between candidates and
between the republican and demo-
cratic parties, but we believe in
fair play and i'm the correct state
ment Of facts. of which we have
personal knowledge as the business
managers Of the county.
With reference to the litigation
with the various railroads in con-
nection with their taxes, he does
not seem to entirely understand
the situation nor have the correct
facts with reference thereto, the
facts being that the Northern Pa
cific filed three cases in the SUI
perior court fer ThurSton county,
first certiorari against the tax
commissioners. second a suit in
equity against the tax commits
sion and third, a suit in equity
against all Of the counties in which
the railroad operates.
Mr.. Beardsley appeared as at
torney for Benton county in the
third one Of these cases and was
associated with the attorney gem
