Commissioners Com
munication Is Flayed

Plentywood, Mont.
January 81, 1880
Dear Mr.. Editor.
If you will be good enough to
give me space in your splendid
paper, I would like to give my
viewpoint on certain matter
which appeared last week in your
paper and was important enough
to get first page position.
I am referring to the communi-
cation of the County Commission
ers to the public.
The idea of expecting thousands
of taxpayers to come to their of
flee to find out why the taxes in
Sheridan county are among the
highest in the State smackS
strongly of the Mussolini dictat-
orship. If the County Commits
sioners have any good reason tt
give the public for our almost un
bearable taxes, why do they mo-
use the public organs of the coun
ty, the newspapers. Are the!
afraid their figures and reason
| ing will not stand the scrutiny o.

A Protest from Archer

Editor, The Producers News:
Whoever is writing your Archer
news ought to either send in his
resignation or write something
else besides the doings of the Moe
and Knutsen families and the
hots of Albert Almberg. Your
correspondent does not seem ia

ing on. Who cares if Albert Aim
berg walks to Plentywood for a
can of snuff? Cut it out. If you

they don't raise their any too good
anyway like Bob Rookie, Bob
Smith and Oscar Collins and a
few others I know something
about if they don't. But Bob
Rookie always has to pick onto
some poor woman like the Nc
Millin and David and Testers.
Just because they are poor is no
sin.
