Entered at North Platte, Nebraska,
Pqstofllco as Second Class Matter.
FRIDAY OCT. 16, 19 4.
A Business Administration
A county or state olllclal who seeks
a second term should he nhle to show
that his Incumbency of the offlco has
been marked by cindency and busi
ness ability; In other words that his
conduct of the ofllce has been such as
to merit n re-election. Wo believe
that tho republican candidates who
ask a second term have so conducted
their respective ofllces that thoy are
entitled to the support of the electors.
Take for Instance tho ofllco of coun
ty clerk during tho Incumbency of
Will Yost. From January G. 1912,
when ho was Inducted Into ofllce, to
July 1, 1914, a period of thirty months,
Mr. Yost has turned Into the county
treasury tho sum of $(5,014.75 excess
fees or an average of over $200 per
month. This means thnt by consclcn
tous work on the part of Mr. Yost and
his deputy, Arthur Allen, tho expens
es of the ofllco have been $200 per
month loss than the receipts that's
Bavlng money for tho tax-payers,
lBn't It? But Mr. Yost has done more
than this; by reason of being tho coun
ty nasessor for two years he saved
the taxpayers an additional $1,200,
making a total saving of $7,214.75.
When tho Union Pacific sought to
ralso land values throughout tho coun
ty, Mr. Yost, as member of tho board
of equalization, voted against the in
creaso nsked, bollovlng that tho land
is assessed sufficiently high, and If
re-elected, will confinuo to opposo
any effort made to Increase the assess
ed valuation.
Mr. Yost has been not only an eco
nomical clerk, but ho has been watch
ful of the best interests of others.
Durng tho tlmo that ho has filled tho
office ho has refused to record twelvo
deeds and mortgages that proved to
bo fraudulent, so proven after Ml".
Yost had made an investigation. In
refusing to record these fraudulent
Instruments Mr. Yost saved each of
the rightful owners from $50 to $75,
as had tho Instruments bpen recorded
it would havo been necessary for the
owners to havo gone Into court to
hnvo tho deeds or mortgages set
aside.
Mr. Yost Is always "on the Job,"
and his courtcousness to all Is as
commcndablo as is the economy and
qlllclency ho employs in tho conduct
of tho ofllco.
Deloys showing at The Keith next week. "The Red Lilly" Monday night. Two shows
each evening, 7:45 and 9:00. Prices 15c and 25c
Suit to Collect Ancient Claims.
State Auditor Howard has begun
suit against five counties Gage, Burt,
Boone, Stanton and Dakota to recov
er money duo for the treatment of in
sane patients at tho state asylums.
These charges havo been accumulating
since 1875 and in somo Instances tho
interest charged Is twlco the prin
cipal. Lincoln county Is among those that
hnvo not paid tho amount claimed due.
Tho clnlm against this county Is five
or six thousand dollars.
