Classification Of
Lands Stirs Up Big Mess
County Taxes Lost Amounts
to $4,000; Owns $4,000
Acres of Land

Sheridan county has acquired tax
title deeds to 1887 acres Of land
through failure of the owners to pay
same, and principally on account of
the grossly incorrect way the land
had been classified by a band of dis
honest classifiers and engineers in
1920. The land was classified as be-
ing far better than it actually is.
The total amount of taxes against
these 1857 acres of land amounts
to the sum of $113,333.95.
Town lots in this county which were
valued too high for taxation purpos-
es and which Sheridan county also
acquired through tax deeds amounts
to a further SUM of S59,396.86 or a
grand total of S172,730.81.
Tax titles were obtained on most
of this in the years 1923 after it had
been assessed and consequently APP
peared as an asset to the county. AS
a result of the acquisition of this vast
amount of land by the county and
which bears no taxes, the other pro-
perty n are now being burdened
with this additional amount of taxes.
as most of the land remains unsold.
In 1926 an effort was made by our
county commissioners to get county
attorney Erickson to commence pro-
ceedings to acquire tax title, but he
failed to do so. Had it been done at
that time practically all of this pro
perty could have been sold for full
tax value during the years 1927 and
1923 when there was a big demand
for land and there was plenty of
ready money in the country.
Incidentally practically all tax
deeds acquired by Sheridan county
while A. c. Erickson was county at
torney and the procedure of obtain
ing title was in accordance with his
direction, will have to be done again
at an approximate cost to the county
of $2S00.0O for posting notices and
re-advertising, as same was published
for only four weeks, whereas the law
says it must be advertised for not
less than 30 days which requires five
weeks publication in our weekly pa.

Lars AngDick
To Go ODer By
Big Majority

While the selection of men for the
county offices is of great Importance
to the voters and taxpayers, the Of
flee of State Senator is perhaps OF
greater Importance as their duties
are larger in scoop than the indlvld-
ual duties of anyone county official.
Voters should select with care the
man who they send to the Legisla-
ture to represent them in the Sen
ate. Lars Angvick, the Republican
candidate for State Senator is the
nan of proven ability, having served
during the last session as Represen
tative.
Mr.. Angvick is a man well inform
ed as to the needs of the farmer and
stockgrower of this section, being a
most successful farmer and stock
grower himself. He knows the draw
backs with which the farmer has to
struggle and he will work hard and
arnest to accomplish legislations
that will be beneficial to his consti-
tuents.
A vote for Lars Angvick is a vote
to give Sheridan County an honest,
farmer representative in the Senate.

The world wide depression period
is commencing to lift according to
reports from many parts of the
world. The heads Of the Republican
and Democratic parties are also in
accord on this one subject. Relief or
CARNATIONS have been formed all over
this nation and President Hoover has
appointed a commissioner to assist in
obtaining employment for several mil

yond the widest imaginations.
To assist in our limited means with

Reports coming to the Herald from
all parts of Sheridan county indicate
the Republican party will make a
clean sweep here for all county
officials. The tide in favor of the
economy program of the present ad-
ministration is more noticeable as
each day passes and especially stress
on this trend has been noticed since the
County treasurer has mailed out the
tax notices for this year, which
proves conclusively that taxes are
being lowered here in spite Of the
many almost unsurmountable
obstacles that have confronted our
officials to reduce expenses.
For a time the sentiment leaned
towards the Fermentation partN)
but since people have had time to
deliberate and weigh the statements
made by the candidates and the in
disputable records of our county
officials, coupled with the Montana
Taxpayers bulletin which has just
been sent out by that body, the
voters have swung Sback into the
Republican ranks and will vote
the Republican ticket.
The State ticket appears also to
have swung heavily towards the Re-
publican party. Reports to
Us from many counties of the state
that six years ago favored Walsh,
who are now favoring Judge Galen
for us. Senator, and with Silverbow
County coming into line favorhg

opposition here and the same en-

general consensus of opinion in
this vicinity. The same holds true

CO. INDEBTEDNESS IS
REDUCED $9O,OOO.0O
DURING LAST YEAR

There is a lot of noise about waste
and extravaganza in Sheridan Coun-
ty. Read this that appeared in the
October, 1890 bulletin of the Mon
tana Taxpayers Association, which
has just been released for publicity.
You will find it on page %.
"THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF SHERIDAN COUNTY REDUC-
ED THEIR WARRANT INDEBT-
EDNESS OVER 500. 100000 DURING
THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. PHIL
LIPS COUNTY CUT THEIR OUT
STANDING WARRANTS 100000
DURING THE SAME PERIOD.
CHOUTEAU COUNTY FOLLOW
ED WITH $4,000 REDUCTION.
These are the only three counties
that received especial praise from
the Montana Taxpayers Association.
Does this indicate anything to our
taxpayers and voters? This vast re-
duction was made in spite of the
fact we had 10 per cent delinquent
taxes in 1929.
Do not make a mistake when vot-
ing next week. Vote for the Repub-
lican ticket for all county officers.

7. W. GREER, Dem.
ATTORNEY NOMINEE
Is VERY UNACT TIVE

T. w. Greer, the democratic nom
inee for County attorney is not max
ing an effort to seek votes. He knows
it is useless to hope for victory on
his part, and has practically admit
ted that he only wants to know just
how many supporters he has in this
county. Between he and A. G.. Err
ickson, "Nig" Collins is going to have
a difficult time in deciding which
way to vote-friendship for Greer,
in view of the fact him being his at
torney on many of his cases-or to
vote for Erickson in the hope that he
can use him as his stool pigeon after
January LIST, 1881.
The entire scheme behind Greer's
candidacy lies in the fertile political
quagmire of the Producers News.
The only reason he was urged to run
was because Taylor said in substance
IF we can only fool him into run-
ming on the Democratic ticket, he will
become a factor in the fall election to
take votes away from Blackwell, as
every vote Greer gets is really a vote
for Erickson.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Greer had
political aspirations for the same Of
flee in Williams County, North Dako-
ia but his defeat did not cure him
completely.
