Has Roosevelt County Prospered?

IN this present period of unrest and business depression no maR
can tell what a year will bring forth in the rapid fire of human affairs.
for literally speaking W e shake hands with the world today.
Everywhere property owners are interested in the safe and eco
nomic expenditure of all monies received from taxation.
This article is intended to show the taxpayers of Roosevelt
County what its financial condition is and what the money paid in
for taxes is being used for and how it is being paid out.
On July 31st 1928 Roosevelt County had a bonded indebtedness
of sa24,ooooo less sinking fund of s412a551, which if applied would
reduce the bonds at that time to s782 76449 together with outstanding
warrants amounting to s16a,6e7s4, making a total of ss4e,4324a.
May 31st, 1880 we had s709 10000 of unpaid bonds less sinking
of S27627421 which if applied would reduce our bonds to
s4332257e together with our outstanding warrants on May 31t, 1886
which amounted to S12735978. making the total debt of Roosevelt
County on May 31st, 1880 of 1851 os557 compared to Se46A3243 on
July 91t, 1928, or our debt has decreased saa5346s6 during the pres
ent administration.
IN addition to the above the Commissioners have not only paid
the running expenses of the County, but have built 654 miles of graded
roads which is a three times greater amount than that of any five
preceding years. They have also built se,e55.1o worth of bridges,
placed S28O0000 worth of culverts, and have purchased S28OOOOG
of road machinery. All this requires much time and many miles
of travel. Economy must have been used in all the Offices of the
county to accomplish this. ALL OF WHICH HAS BEEN DONE AT
THE REQUEST OF THE TAXPAYERS. In no instance have the
Commissioners built a single foot of road their own initiative.
1t is well to remember that this economical showing is not due
to n one man or Office, but it is the result of the united cooperation
and economic methods of all of the County officers.
What story does the above figures reveal? If they indicate that
the affairs of the County have been handled in an efficient manner
(and it does show that very thing), the question naturally arises,
do we want to change the management? When the annual report of
q large Corporation shows a profit or evidence of good management
and put in their place a new force of employees. They usually keep
the old ones. They know it is safer and less expensive to keep those
that have been tested and found proficient than it is to fill their de-
partments with inexperienced men. They know it costs money to
train men. When they have gone ito III expense II training them
they want to keep them.
Running the business of a county is a big undertaking. You tax
ave arc the stockholders. 1t is entirely up to you to decide whether
The above financial statement jusufies a change in management.
You are the judge.

direction; no signs of visits from
mischievous apes; the little farm

flourishing.
Next day was passed in making
a survey of the immediate neigh
borhood, at the same time collect

was wanted for new pillows and

small gun entrusted to him for
the first time.
We took Fan and Bruno with
us, and went slowly along the
left bank of the lake, winding our
way among reedy thickets, which
frequently turned us aside a con-
siderable distance from the water.
The dogs hunted about in all di-
rections, and. raised duck, snipe.
and heron. These usually flew di-
across the lake so that

Intending to be engaged in this

well as firearms, tools, cooking

All these things were packed

Storm and Grumble. Jack and
Franz mounted them, and acted
at once the part of riders and
drivers. My wife sat comfortably
in the cart, Fritz rode in advance,
while Ernest and | walked; we
were protected in flank by the
dogs and Fangs, the tame jackal.
Directing Jul course toward
Woodlands, we saw many traces
of the serpent's approach to

the soil was loose, the trail, like
broad furrow, was very evident
indeed.

GARB0'S FIRST TALKIE
"ANNA CHRISTIE" SOON

A adoption of Eugene
O'Neill's drama, anna Christie, :"
starring Greta Carlo in her first
talking role, will optn Tuesday at
the Liberty theatre. The picture
was adapted from the original
stage play by Frances Marion.
The supporting cast contains
Charles Bickford, George F. Mar
ion, Marie Dressler in her first
straight role, James T. Mack and
! Lee Phelps. The picture will rep
resent Marion's third portrayal of
the father role, the actor having
played the original stage role
with Pauline Lord.
The production has been par
ticularly looked forward to be-
cause if general curiosity oncern
ing Miss CARLOS voice and her
reputed Swedish accent. 1t is said
that she began work on the pic
ture without a preliminary voice
test, but having once started,
broke all existing records for
length OF dialogue sequences.
From all reports her voice is
perfectly suited to microphone re-
quirements.
The story of anna Christie
revolves about the regeneration
of a Swedish girl who, brought
up without a care or guidance,
chose a shameful career to es-
cape the tyranny of life on a
Minnesota farm. Several months
spent with her father on an old
sea barge and the love of an
Irish sailor inspire her to a fresh
start on life.
1t is said the production has
been filmed with close attention
to authenticity of settings, the
various scenes including reproduc-
lions of New York's waterfront,
cobbled streets, h%orse-drawn We
hicles, old saloons and a pic
turesque reproduction of Coney
Island with its Eden Musee, side
shows, concessions and other de-
tails.
Garbo's performance as Anna is
declared to be the finest thing
she has ever done, the tragic
sincerity of the role being of the
type to which the distinguished
actress is particularly we'll suited.
II we have to use a larger golf
ball we demand a larger hole.

These officials have made good.
They have handled the county'e
business in a b~usinesslike way.
Voters will look at something be-
sides total costs of running the
county for a period OF years. Gen
eral results count, and the costs
compared to other counties tell
the real truth.
The work of the county board,
Lesson, Young and Harbo, and
the Treasurer, Neil McFarlan, and
the Clerk and Recorder, A S.
Hier, has been of great value in
cleaning up the delinquent taxes
and getting the property back on
the tax rolls. The process cost a
lot of money, especially in the
treasurer's office, bat it brought
in a far greater sum to the coun-
ty. 1t was good business and aid
ed them in reducing the county
debt by the sum of $~385,346.96.
Now as to comparisons. The
Montana Taxpayers association, a
state organization that makes a
business of keeping tab on where
your tax dollar goes, complies
statements from the records OF
every county in the state, and
shows every phase of the cost OF
running the counties and the
state. Among these tabulated
statements is one showing the
cost per capita (per head of run
ming each Office in each county
Taking their figures and finding
the average cost OF all county Of
fees per capita it is shown that
this average in ROOSEVELT
COUNTY is SIS cents. In each o.
four adjoining counties the cost
is higher-in Richland it is 62.e
in Sheridan and Daniels 81 cents

also, it is higher.
