THE SINKING FUND.
The Blue Hill Leader Has Again Begun
Its Misrepresentations.
Lust week's Blue Hill Leader con
tains mi article in which it states that
the people of Hcd Cloud are opposing
the sinking fund proposition as out
lined in the petition being favored by
Fred 5und of ltlue Hill, and claiming
that we are working for a proposition
that will give us a 8125,000 court house
if it is left to the commissioners to de
cide the matter.
Mr. (tiind's proposition would limit
the county to a 850,000 court house,
yet those who have made a study of
the matter' assert tint lifty thousand
dollars would build a very inadequate
building for the needs of this county.
In the tlrst place, the people of lied
Cloud are taking no hand in the circu
lation of either petition. During the
fight on the bond question the people
of the northern part of the county
chimed that they were willing to build
a 875,000 court house if the matter
were submitted in the shape of a sink
ing fund instead of a bond proposition,
and many residents of the south part
of the county took the same position.
Captain F. llouchin of liartield pre
cinct, who was one of the strongest
opponents of the bond proposition,
takes the responsibility for the peti
tion which is now being circulated by
him in this part of the county, anil
has the following to say in regard to
the matter:
"The Leader is either mistaken or
wrongly informed. The petition that
1 am circulating to build a court house
does not call for uSMO.OOO court house.
The petition is'drawn up in the statu
tory form and calls for a levy not to
exceed tlvc mills on the dollar. This
means that the levy cannot be more
than five mills, but it can be less. Not
U exceed live year.s means that the levy
can be made for tivj. year.s, of for a
less time if it is found that a sulllcieut
hum can be raised In less time. We
cannot tell what the court lions, will
cost until the contract is let. Neither
can we tell what amount the levy will
raise until we are ussfsseu. .ir.iiunn s
petition calls for a court house approx
imately 850,000, the money to berated
by a five mill levy running three years.
The taxpayers on the farm say they
are in favor of a good court hou.se, not
one like the Nuckolls eounty court
house at Nelson, which cost, the county
$.'15,000 a few year.s ago and which is
u) inadequate that they are already
asking for fireproof vaults to be placed
in the basement to accommodate the
records. I have been down and in
spected it, and 1 tlnd that the condi
tions are as stated. I believe if we
build we ought to build a suitable
house. F am In favor of voting on a
proposition to build and furnish a court
house to cost, when completed, not to
exceed 875,000. That means not more
than $75,000. It also means that it
may cost less. Let us have, a good
court house. If not, we had better
keep the old rattletrap we have now.
A five mill tax will not burden the
farmers.''
The District Judgeship.
nv .ioiix'm. ciiakkix.
Under the constitution, the district
courts have, both chancery and common
law jurisdiction, and sucj other as the
legislature may provide.
With almost unlimited jurisdiction,
is it not true that the district judge is
more nearly in touch with the people
of his district than any other person
living within Its bounds?
As touching the qualifications of the
district judge, he should be;
First A man of unimpeachable char
acter. Second A gentleman, whether on or
off the bench.
Third A dignified iu.ui
Sr:'!l:nu"L
abreast of the times, following the hg.
Islature and keeping in touch with the
supreme court decisions.
Sixth A man wliose social qualities
j re his passport Into the governor's
'"ce and the poor man's cabin, alike.
' vseventh A man wliose heart is in
sympathy with the people, and who
would not sacrifice their good will for
all the olllecs in the world.
FJghth A man in love with the prin
ciples of Kternal Justice.
Ninth A judge who will not listen
to the clamor of the populace, nor
bend to the will of the mighty.
Tenth A judge In whose eyes all are
equal before the law.
Anacharsis, after having seen an as
sembly of the people of Athens, re
marked that he was surprised at this,
that in (Sreece wise men pleaded causes,
while fools determined them.
That was a pretty hard rap at the
Athenian judges, to be sure, but was
doubtless a correct view of the situa
lion.
Let no man cast a single "compli
mentary" vote atthe primary, lest that
vote turn the scales In behalf of an in
competent.
We should not forget that the inter
ests of the peopleof the Tenth .Indicia!
District are our interests; that their
prosperity is our prosperity, an that
their homes are our homes.
