about TO insist on his ideas, so that the
clerk e. recorder and the commissioners
could nick out certain unfortunate people
for SLAUGHTER people, no doubt, they had a
special urge to foreclose. ~.
The county officials no doubt Will allOl
themselves by the the excuse OF the law
thew will insist that the law compelled them
to do it and that they had no discretion IN
the matter. The law is the same IN al lof the
counties. In perusing the Roosevelt county
papers and the Daniels county papers, we
do not find any tax foreclosures sales adj
vertised. while we find the PlentywOOd
Herald full of them. Can it be possible
there are no homes or farms subject to the
tax foreclosures law in those counties! Or
is it because the county commissioners IN
those counties have not yet sunk to the
level where they can justify the selling or
the homes of the poor people for taxes IN
times like these? Surely if this thing must
be done in Sheridan county it must be done
in the other counties as well.
Of course it is rumored that those not
yet forecIosed upon will be in the due
course of time; that procedure will be in
itiated on the rest and in the other villages
next, and then if time can be found, on the
farms-no doubt, the farms of certain peO-
pie first, and then, maybe the banks and
mortgage companies, the big shots, that is
if the county officials can get around to
it, tho very likely they will not hurry.
Those who have been picked for foreclos-
ure. and their friends, are wondering why
this is being done during this time of hard
ship and at this time of the year, against
those. most of whom are on relief. The gov
eTTment on one hand is supplying relief,
and the county commissioners on the other
are initiating tax foreclosures. Many are
inquiring what the county is going to do
with the homes when it gets the, for very
likely the county will take title for the tax
es, more important still, what is it going to
do with the foreclosed who live in these
homes?
Will the county rent the houses from it.
self and pay the rent itself? Or will it put
the unfortunates onto the street? Or will
it sell the homes to some investor with
few dollars for the taxes. from whom it
will rent the house for these people to live
in?
It is very interesting procedure to be
franl1 initiated by officials who should be
in mad house, and this is not too figura-
tive either. 1t is procedure that is going
to promote q demonstration at the Sheri-
dan county court house on the 4th of April,
the day noticed for the tax sale It is q
procedure that will have plenty of political
repercussion in the coming election cam
paign, we foretell, to those responsible for
this deed.

TAX FORECLOSURES

Sheridan county has launched at last its
promised program Of wholesale tax fore
closures, tho maybe question mark should
be placed after the word Wholesale, for
we suspect that only certain ones will be
foreclosed. Just who is responsible for the
policy is not yet known for sure, tho Clerk
& Recorder Neils Madsen is suspected Of
being the man behind the scenes. anyway
it is being whispered about that the big
idea is his.
And he is credited with leading the
present board of county commissioners
about by the nose, and of course the fore
closures would not have been initiated
without the consent and decision of that
more or less august body. But County Clerk
& Recorder Madsen has sent out the no
tees by registered mail with return cards
to twenty-Seven home owners in the city Of
Plentywood, or other property owners, and
somebody no doubt in his employ, and
maybe himself sneaked about in the dark
and posted the notices on the homes picked
for foreclosure-and the mthOd is charac-
teristic of the clerk & recorder.
1t is needless to relate that the tax fore
closures are on the homes and shacks of
tn very poorest people in the county seat.
That these poor people should be picked for
foreclosure is quite in keeping with the
general court house policy.
Twenty-seven homes in Plentywood were
picked, carefully selected for foreclosure.
All those not liked so well by some of the
county officials were included in the first
list. Just why PlentyWood poor home own
ers should have been so favored is best
known to those responsible for the initial
list, and why just q victims should have
been chosen out of the many more liable
to foreclosure is quandry. Also it is in
triguing that Sheriff Hans Madsen was
not delegated to serve these notices rather
than resorting to the United States mails.
OF course he might have posted those no.
tees in the dark and thus have gotten his
fee out of the activity.
There are homes and lots subject to tax
foreclosure in every city and village in
Sheridan county. And the law should know
no favorites. If one person is to be fore
closed why not all? Why were just q pick
ed? And why were all poor home owners
In Plentywood?
And it is also fact that hundreds of
farms in Sheridan county are also liable
to tax foreclosures. The Producers News
is informed that Banker Frank Rooster
land corporation have 81 or 81 farms quail
flied for foreclosure, and this interesting
information comes from no other than
County Commissioner Carl Tango. In fact
Commissioner Tango told John Boulds in
Tange's own home one day last fall, that
when tax foreclosures were being propos-
ed, Keoster's farms were to be, if he had
his way, and if the other commissioners
stood by their agreement with him, the
very first property in Sheridan county
foreclosed for taxes; that the big land own
ers, bankers, mortgage companies and
spectators must come first.
But Commissioner Tango left for two
month s vacation in sunny California, nc
doubt at the suggestion of Clerk & Record
er Madsen and the other members of The
board of commissioners, so as to not be

Reverend Thomas Mulcahy, prin-
cipal Of Waterbury Catholic high
school, spoke to the entire student
body at an Armistice Day program
held yesterday morning in the

outlined b. the principal was the
fact that the children OF today,
most OF whom have been born
since the time Of the war, do not
realize the horrors connected with
It, and for that reason are some-
times not able to appreciate the
Importance Of peace.
Following the assembly program,
which concluded at twelve o'clock,
school was dismissed for the day.
The following program, copies OF
which were prepared by members OF
the senior class, was presented yes

and federal government helps in these fields, to that extent private welfare activities are freed from these appropriate public responsi. bilities and, therefore, are enabled more effectively and extensively to do those things which private ac. tivities are best fitted to carry out.
 Efforts of private agencies to en- courage private unemployment Of those on the relief rolls; efforts of private agencies to continue and ex. tend medical care of all kinds; ef- forts of private agencies to minister to the hundreds of thousands of cases which present special prob- lems; efforts of private agencies to build up recreational opportunities all of these and many more are tasks more fitted to private than to government administration.
 The generosity of our American people is e fine tradition-we have
 never failed to heed the call of dis- tress. I have confidence that the appeal about to be launched for this fifth mobilization for human needs will strike @ responsive chord throughout the country. I know that the men and women of the Ila- ton will accept their local respon- abilities even more readily than they have ever done before. May you have the success you deserve.
