that during the last 15 years, since
1925 County Judge Bryce Craw
ford has never filed a single re
port of fees collected, within the
time required by law—some of
them as much as twenty-one
months late—and during the same
period in many Instances, when re
ports were filed, remittances were
not made to the County Treasurer
for almost a year afterwards. F»r
instance, during the period March
.list, 1926 to March 30th, 1927> he
did not pay to the County Treas*
urer until long afterwards any of
the fees collected by him during
that period. There were two oth
er periods of almost a year each
in which he did not pay to the
County Treasurer during those
periods any of the fees collected
by him. On January 10th. 1935
lie owed the County $22,140.00,
some of which had been collected
by him as far back as April 1934 ”
He further states that comm
encing with July, 1937i Judge
Crawford at the end of each six
Consecutive quarterly periods ow
ed Douglas County an average of
$23,700.00 and that during this
year and a half period, as South
ard says:
“Douglas County was in the red
and unable to pay its debts. The
county's credit was fjreatly im
paired. Many merchants had re
fused to sell to the County. An
open. competitive market was
therebp denied the county in the
purchasing of supplies. Employ
ees of the County, ever since 1936
had been, almost constantly, oblig
ed to discount tiheir salary war
rants at a sacrifice of from 6 to 20
per cent. County Warrants drew
6 percent interest, which the Coun
ty was later obliged to pay. And
yet, these enormous amounts cf
fines and fees collected by Judge
Crawford, which belonged to
i Douglas County, were not paid to
the County Treasurer until long
after they were due. The County
was, therefore, paying interest on
its own money. If this money had
been paid in by Judge Crawford as
required by laW, the County could
have saved this interest charge a
mountiug to $2100 00 for this per
iod alone.”
Southard, known to the members
of the Bench and Bar as a lawyer
of ability and for more than 30
years in active practice, gives
facts and figures taken from the
public records, assumes full re
sponsibility for their correctness
and presents them in a convincing
way at the many public meetings
which he attends. He takes th®
job of campaigning seriously, as
he does his work, and states that
he Is confident the people, If given,
the facts showing the need for a
change in this important office,
will apply the proper remedy on
November 6th.
