To the Voters of Red Willow County
whatever and rather than let Dodge
do it for nothing he was willing to
pay for it and have it right It was
not the first time that Mr Sughroue
was at Ritchies for advice The
2500 was not for the special tax
notice alone but for three or four
times when the whole board includ
ing Sughroue went to Ritchies office
to have him look up points of law
and at other times they called him
before the board At dozens of
times the board has had me read
law to them in Mr Dodges pres
ence and I had to act as county at
torney while he was drawing the sal
ary
If the board has no right to al
low that sum to Ritchie as Dodge
stated to individuals in the last few
days then Dodge as county attorney
is not doing his duty by not holding
up the payment of the warrant or by
going to court and suing the board
WHY wasnt Dodge present at the
meeting of the board when said res
olution was adopted and said claim
allowed to advise the board on both
propositions Why he was election
eering at Indianola that day
WHY doesnt Pontius tell his read
ers that Dodge attends the commis
sioner meetings very seldom when
the law directs him to be the legal
advisor of the county board and at
tend all their meetings
Not only did the county board get
advice from Ritchie but so did a
good number of other officers for
months and Mr Sughroue was the
first man on the board that openly
said at the commissioner meeting that
the claim was not a bit too high
His signature is on the claim approv
ing it and ordering its payment
Dont you think that the 2500
ought to be deducted from Dodges
salary
Pontius continuously harps about
my loafing over the country when
hundreds of people at McCook will
tell him that I spend more time at
the court house than ony other of
ficer
WHY doesnt he tell his readers
that this summer Dodge spent two
weeks either at Marion or electioneer
ing when there were from one to
half a dozen people calling for him
here every day
Talk about misleading malicious
statements No one can ever beat
Pontius record on that He has told
his readers time and again that I
drew a salary of 280000 which the
commissioners allowed me I cer
tainly wish he was right as I could
use the money That salary talk is
the most childish talk ever put up
by a grown man Ask some ten-year-old
child in your public school and

it will tell Pontius two things he
evidently doesnt know First that
the salary of the county clerk of ev
ery county in the statte is fixed by
the statute and that the commission
ers can not raise or lower it a cent
Second that the county clerks of
fice is absolutely a fee office and
does not cost the taxpayers one cent
outside of work actually performed
for them The county pays the same
fees as an individual as regulated
by law It pays four cents a line for
making the tax lists 30000 a year
for clerk of the hoard which means
the filing of claims keeping commis
sioner record drawing warrants
and many other duties it pays
25c for issuing a certificate of elec
tion 100 for recording official bonds
200 a day for canvassing elections
and it doesnt pay a cent for a hun
dred of minor matters that come up
daily All the work in this office is
piece work and it is paid for as the
work is done All the fees from the
county and those collected from in
dividuals are put together and every
cent accounted for to the county
The county clerk gets 1500 a year
not a cent more and not a cent less
and he would get 1500 a year if Pon
tius were county clerk The balance
of the fees pay first the salary of
the deputy who gets 80000 and the
assistant who gets 4500 a month or
54000 a year making a total of
284000 for the whole office force
which is still 16000 less than the
county treasurers office which pays
300000 to two persons And they
earn it every cent of it and are en
titled to it and yet there is not two
thirds the work in that office there
is in the clerks office If the total
amount of fees earned over runs
284000 the balance must be paid
and always has been paid into the
treasury If the amount of fees falls
short the county does- not pay the
balance We simply would be that
much short on our salaries If the
amount allowed the office force would
be less than above figures the fees
to be turned over to the treasurer
would be heavier So would Pontius
profit from his paper be heavier if
he would pay his office help less
Neither the law nor the taxpayers
expect this office to be a money-making
institution for the county They
expect the very best and efficient ser
vice and all records kept up to date
The Reporter tries to compare this
county with other counties Why
doesnt he tell that the total amount
of fees in Red Willow county in 1909
was 276592 while in Frontier coun
ty it was 219693 A little differ
ence in the amount of work to be
performed wasnt it He says that

Hitchcock county pays only 180000
If he would have said 220000 he
would have told the truth All of
Hitchcock county together does not
make as much of a tax list as the
towns of this county alone This
whole proposition was placed before
the people squarely in the campaign
of 1909 when the Red Willow County
Standard ably assisted by Mr Dodge
stirred up the matters and the peo
ple have spoken very plainly that
time
WHY dont they tell their readers
that as far back as 1901 ten years
ago the commissioners Bolles Water
man and Reddy two Republicans and
one Democrat allowed R A Green
the Democratic clerk one deputy and
one assistant as I can show by the
commissioner record of that time
and further that in 1902 the board
composed of Waterman Reddy and
Bennett one Republican and two
Democrats allowed E J Wilcox the
same number WHY dont they tell
that this number was allowed every
year since regardless of who was
clerk or commissioner except in 1906
and 1907 when my predecessor had
two assistants beside the deputy
making four persons in all in the of
fice and one of those assistants was
Pontius RELIABLE AUTHORITY
McCook correspondent They were
required at the time
In his deceptive statement Pontius
has repeatedly said that I got 2800
trying to convey the impression that
I got that amount myself nothing
said about the assistants He tried
to convey the idea that they got pay
extra Pontius Dodge and a few
narrow minded incompetent fellows
like them simply want to punish me
and they can have all the fun they
can get out of it If a campaign of
blackmail slander and mud throwing
which is their long suit will dis
credit me with the voters of this
county all right I am ready for
them We shall see who has the
conffdence of a large majority of the
people of the county they or I
WHY doesnt Pontius talk about
the hold up attempted by him by
charging 50 more for printing com
missioner proceedings than the law
allowed 50 more than the county
ever did pay 50 more than either
Barnes or Kimmell asked for and
100 more than the bid filed by Ed
Byfield while at the same time
Pontius was howling about the others
asking too much and claiming that
the bid was still good I have an
extra statute here that I would like
to loan him a while so he can post
up on these matters

great transformation Watermelon
scene the Indian Tepee scene and
the Lake of Killarney so that the
settings shall be of equal merit They
are determined to give you something
different something that will make
the name of The Widow Perkins a
household word and in order to do
that every detail must be just right
