What It Costs to Conduct the Offices
Of Stanley County.
During the past few weeks we have
published figures taken from the
sworn reports of the auditors and
treasurers of the various counties to
which they were credited, in compar-
ison with the amounts raisedin Jack-
son county, and by these figures the
“bugaboo” of higher taxes and in-
creased expense, put forth by the
advocates of the lowa county propo-
sition, has been completely put too
route.
The figures quoted are matters of
record and can not be disputed. The
Philip fellows realized they had hold
of the wrong end of the poker and let
go, and have now switched to the ar-
gument that the expense of conduct-
ing the offices of three counties would
be considerable more than it is for the
present county of Stanley. Now that
appears plausible on the face of it, but
' taking the records of other counties
of practically the same size as Jack-
son or Sterling we find that the of-
ficers in those counties are attending
to the duties of their offices alone,
without any deputies, and are receiv-
ing from SSOO to SI6OO a year less than
the officers of Stanley county. When
the county goverments of Jackson
and Sterling are established not only
will great savings be made in the
salaries of the various office!s but it
willdo away with the paying of from
one to eight deputies and assistants
in each office.
We do not wish you tv take our
word for it but refer you to the quar-
terly reports of Stanley county and
Campbell county (a county of practi-
cally the same area as Jackson or
Sterling but having a larger assessed
valuation and a larger population
than either ot the proposed counties
and for that reason pay larger salaries
than would be received in either Jack-
son or Sterling.) Taking the quar-
terly report of these two counties for
the first three months of the present
year, or the quarter ending March 31,
1910, we find that Stanley county paid
for county auditor, deputies and ex-
pense $889.80, while the same office
cost Campbell county only $200.00.
The treasurer’s office in this county
cost $1,327.15 for the three months
and for the same time Campbell paid
only S2OO. The register of deeds office
in Stanley pulled $828.80 out of the
taxpayers pockets and Campbell dug
rp 7. '> for their register. Our
county judge drew SSOO as his share
and the county judge of Campbell
i county had to be content without
$125 for his three months service.
The superintendent of schools of this
county cost us $659.43 and cost Cam-
pbell $136.00; while the office of states’
attorney added $197.53 to the expense
account of Stanley county, Camp-
bell county escaped with only’ $175.00.
The great size of Stanley countv is
clearly shown by the fact that for the
first three months of this year the
i sheriff, deputy and bailiffs of this
i county drew from the strong box
$1,645.28, and the sheriff, deputy and
bailiffs of Campbell county were forc-
ed to worry along on only SIIO.BO for
! the same length of time. From these
figures ir will be seen that to maintain
i the offices for our county for the first
three months of 1910 it cost the tax-
payers of Stanley county $6,347.99,
and Campbell county only had to
pay $1,444.15 for the same offices for
the same period, or Stanley county-
had to pay over four and one-third
times as much asdid Campbell county .
Under the assessment of 1910, Jack-
son county has a valuation of consid-
erable more tl.an one-fourth of that of
Stanley county and therefore has to
pay over one-fourth the expenses of
the county. In the above compari-
sons it is clearly demonstrated that
Jackson county can pay the same sal-
aries as are paid by Campbell county
andyet save a large amount of mon-
ey from whut they are now paying
for the officers of Stanley county.
Does the Location of the County Seat
Cause Our High Taxes.
Tne lout issue of the Philip Review
attempts to place the cause of our
high taxes to the fact that our county
seat is located in the extreme eastern
end of the county and in this manner
attempts to dodge the fact that our
high taxes are chargeable almost en-
tirely to the extreme size of the
county. If the location of the countv
seat is the cause of high taxes why is
it that Charles Mix with her seat of
government at Wheeler, an inland
town in the Missouri river breaks and
on the west line of the county, is able
to get along on (18,372.52 a year or
over ten thousand dollars less than
the amount assessed against Jackson
(
county?

Persona! Abuse Istead of Arguments
Used by lowa Promoters.
The promoters of the lowa county
proposition seem to have lost sight of
the question of county division and
arc putting in their time in abuseing
the people who are opposed to them.
The people of Philip are wellschooled
in the motto: “Allthings must come
to Philip,” and apparently believe
that every one in the county must
bow their knee to Philip and do the
bidding of the few “gentlemen” who
reside in that burg. The fact that
Jackson and Sterling counties are
sure winners is a proposition that is
hard for our neighbors on the north
to swallow. Philip cannot dictate to
the entire western portion of Stanley
county, as the people of that city-
have found out to their sorrow. The
calling of the people of Jackson and '
Sterling county “narrow-minded, en-1
vious and prejudiced voters whoi
would cut off their noses to spite their I
own face” by the Philip papers has I
killed whatever friendly feeling our
people may have had for that town.
Not an argument can be found in fa-
' or of lowa county and this of course
vexes our excellent friends. We said
not an argument could be found for
lowa county. Of course we did not
mean that, because Philip wants to
be a county seat, and in their minds ;
that should be argument enough lor I
anybody.
The latest personal attack on our
citizens was in the* Bad River News of
last week in which editor Durkee
dubs Attorney A. G. Granger, of this I
city, an ivorydomed student of Black-
stone, and prominent only because he
is the only attorney in our city. Mr.
Granger is one of Jackson county’s
most ardent workers and that of
course is the cause of Durkee’s attack
of cholic, although he bases his reason
on Mr. Granger’s good natured re-
mark that Philip was located on the
banks of Bad River in a mud-hole.
The News editor seems to think
that the remark was an insult and in-
tended as such, but he loses sight of
the fact that over two y«ars ago after
Philip had invited delegates from all
parts of the county to meet with them
and discuss the division matter and
after the delegates had expressed
themselves as opposed to two county
division, as advocated by Philip, R. I
A. Bielski grabbed a big hunk of Bad i
River Gumbo and slammed it into the j
face of Philip’s visitors in his remarks ;
that he did not believe the expres-
sions made by the delegates were sin-
cere or that they represented the
true feelings of the communities that
instructed ;nd sent them to the meet-
ing. Not content with this insult to
the visitors in one meeting Mr. Wal-
pole, Sr. a few moments later in his
address said that the part of Stanley
county south of the base line (Jack-
son countv) was fit for nothing but a
“nanny goat pasture” and through-
out his remarks referred to us as the
“nanny goat pasture.” If the News
editor willrefer back to that time he
will find that none of the newspapeis
devoted a half column or so to per-
sonal attacks upon Mr. Bielski or Mr.
Walpole.
That tho delegates expressed the
true sentiments of the localities they
represented has been proven this year
and in the present campaign and be-
cause Philip could not be made to
understand that the people of West-
ern Stanley county would not stand
for their two county proposition they
now realize that they are hopelessly
up against it. The territory south of
the base line may be a “nanny goat
pasture,” yet it is a valuable one, for
the proposed Jackson county has only
about one-fifth the territory of Stan-
ley county and has over one-fourth
the assessed valuation of the entire
county.
The lowa proposition is defeated
and the Philip bunch know it. but are
trying to get a few votes in favor of
the of the proposition bv abuseing
the Jackson and Sterling county di-
visions and the men who are boosting
them.
All that is asked of you Mr. Voter
is that you study the various division
questions seriously and then vote for
the on* that means lower taxes and
more improvements in your locality
and there is no doubt whatever that
you willmark your ballot "jes” for
Jackson; ‘•yes” for Sterling; and
"no” for lowa.

COUNTY OPTION
MEANS
FORCED PROHIBITION
If itis the purpose of the sponsors of the COUNTY OPTION
law to furnish the authority for voting a City, Town or Township
“dry”where the sentiment is opposed to the high license policy
then the COUNTY OPTION plan is unnecessary, for the voters al-
ready have that right under our present ideal LOCAL OPTION law.
If it is the purpose of those who are advocating COUNTY
OPTION, to pass a law that willprevent license in a community
where the voters are opposed to prohibition (and this is their
purpose), then COUNTY OPTION means
’
'
Forced Prohibition
South Dakota has one of the best option laws as yet devisd.
To change from LOCAL OPTION to COUNTY OPTION would
mean a cessation of our present right to local self government.
COUNTY OPTION is a trick measure that cloaks the real in-
tent of those who advocate it.
COUNTY OPTION means PROHIBITION, BLIND PIGS,
BOOT-LEGGERS, Loss in Revenue, and Hign Taxes. It means
“graft” to the fixers instead of revenue to the people.
