MIJIK POLITICAL BISTORT OF
SHERMAN COUNTY
Continued Irom last wi eU.
Tbkino up this subject again ibis
*v<ek we will follow ttie unfortunate
a id deplorable results of tbe Sher
man County Bank failure, by tbe
immediate installment nf Mr. A, J.
B. Faiibuirn in the treasurer's office
who was appointed by tbe super
visors to (ill out tbe unexpired term
of Mr. Pearson. Pearson was then,
and always lias been a life long
democrat.
But now with Mr. Fairbairn treas
urer: W. H. Morris, clerk, J. S.
Pedler Sheriff, Burns for Supt.,
for tbe first time, we bad practically
a republican administration, al
though some of these officers were
elected on tbe so called ‘ Farmers
and Tax payers” ticket. Vet their
loyalty to tbe republican party out
side of local matters has never been
questioned. And who will say that
these officers did not make a first
class record, of course there was at
that lime less than one third as
much taxable property in Shetman
county as there is now and eonse
quently not half so much money
to run the county od. and warrants
bad to be issued to keep things
going.
But here wo will stop and more
fu'.lv explain why it was that we hrd
so little money with which to do
business. First the bank failure
reduced the amount of money on
hand. Second, a very large portion
of the real estate in Sherman county
was, at that time the property of
Uncle Sam, and therefore was not
taxable. In after years people
proved up on their homesteads and
these lands became subject to tax
ation. Some proving up had been
lone before this, but the great rush
of final proof business commenced
with Mr. Morris’ term of office and
continued for several years, and
while E. H. Kittell was clerk, and
the pop administration came into
power soon after began the collect
iou of taxes upon these lands.
Again, the personal property of the
county at that time was not, by more
that half, so large as it is to-day.
Hence, the resources for obtaining
aaoney by taxation was not near so
great, while the expenses of running
the county was just as much, if no'
more, than it is to day. There were
even more officers, at that time un
the old supervisior system to pa\
than there is now, and then there
WR8 practically no end to the viewing,
surveying and establishing of new
roads and the building of budges in
the various parts of the county.
This being the facts it can be easily
seen why it was necessary to register
warrants, at times for payment in
turn to keep business going.
But who will say that the above
mentioned officers did not quit them
selves with honor to themselves and
credit to the county. Mr. Morris
turned over to the general fund of
the county, exclusive of his salary
over $:s,000 while four years in office
and it was not long until the county
was again in a good financial con
dition. Now a step farther and we
find Mr. C. E. Achenbacb,
another republican in the tieai.urer’s
office. In him we had one of the
ablest SDd most efficient officers
Sherman county has ever had. It
was he who made an extra effort to
collect, as far as possible, all back
taxes, and when his term of office
expired he was able to show up an
offical statement of #2!),G58.00 net
balance on hand with but a few out
standing warrants. In fact the
county officers bad been doing so
well that in the campaigns before
even the Times was whooping it up
for the Grand Old Republican party,
nnd Brown never ceased to give the
farmers and the populist party par
ticular fits until it became apparent
that the pop9 were abuut to come
in power, when he performed a
I wonderful fete. With a double
hack action flop and a wild whole
olumn war whoop be denounced
republicanism and landed right into
the popocratic hot bed. Where he
will go to next will be only a mat
ter of time It was amusing to wit
ness that flop. The one issue of
bis paper was a tirade of abuse
towards the leaders of the third
party movement ami his very next
issue lammed it to the republican
party with a vengence The two ar
ticles wire reproduced in the North
western, side by sole, at the time
and caused eonsitleranle comment.
Well we are frank to acknowl
edge that Mr. Brown has supported
some very good men for cilice
Mr. Kiltel], Mr. H Id. Hendrickson
Air. Hein, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Minsbull
and Air. Budura have all made very
good records. But why have they?
And what about Mr. 1'olski? the
Peoples’ bank failure? the McAlpine
bridge ueal? etc. Is it possible that
any of the pop otti dais have gone
wrong? We will answer these ques
tions uext week.
