Gives North Platte a Whack.
To The Tribune: In n recent issue
the "Boosters" for a new county build
ing wail dispairingly "North Platte is
your county seat;" and that reminds me
thnt'it may bo well for tho people to
look into the matter and see for them
selves just how affairs political stand.
Tho following oifices nre held by citi
zens of Nortli Platte: Judge Thirteenth
judicial district, court reporter, clerk
of court", lady assistant, deputy county
clerk, copyist, county treasurer, lady
assistant, county judge, county attor
ney, county surveyor, county coroner,
county assessor, lady assistant, county
shoriir, deputy sheriff, county commis
sioner second district, janitor county
building.
The following are outsiders: "Coun
ty clerk (?), county superintendent,
doputy county treasurer.
How loncsomo those three country
men must feell In addition to tho abovo
tho register and receiver of tho land
office nro citizens of North Platte. And
though a large number of country pco
plo aro patrons of tho North Platte
post office not only the postmaster but
his five assistants am North Platters.
If it were even thinknblo that the Com
mercial Club could wrestle with a com
mercial problem tho situation should
appeal to them that the conditions are
ripo not only for a hog market but for
a packing house.
Thero are precincts in our county so
largo that residents therein nro obliged
to use more time in voting than fifty
men in North Platte with the result
that whilo North Platte has practically
one-third tho voters in the county she
can dominate the nominations at any
primary election. Last year there were
thrco contests for, republican nomina
tions and North Finite modestly took
them all. It is common talk that North
Platte next year intends to retain all
the ofllcps she now holds and annex tho
other three.
In othor lines it is the samo atory.
The only semblance of a park in North
Platte is the beautiful lawn around the
county building, maintained by the
whole county and Used almost exclu
sively by North Platte.
A further recital is but cumulative
evidence that North Plotte is not only
the county scat but that sho is the
whole county; and isn't it n fair prop
osition that if she wishes a new county
building for the privatn use of his citi
zens she go right ahead and build just
as fino a structure ns bIio is willing to
pay for. C. A. SlBLEV.
