Arc They Entitled To It?
It Is rumored around here that $500
has been donated out of tho county
funds to help build a road from Beaver
City to Furgan. Wo hav not noticed
anything in the commissioners pro
ceedings to that effect but if the report'
Is true it is time that tho people tnke
steps to put some safe guards about the
county funds to prevent them being
squandered by the pcoplo of thoto two
towns for their own personal benefit
If tho residents of those two tpwns
want a road between thorn let them go
down into their own pockets and build
it. There aro hundreds of places In
this county where the county funds
can bo used to provide bridges nnd
make other necessary improvements
without sinking them Into the sand
hills between those two towns. It has
always been necessary 'or l'le tax P8J"
ers to keep an regie eye on Beaver City
to prevent It from selfishly squandering
tho county funds and now that they
have a confederate in the shop" of a
town only six miles to the north of
them greater dllligence thai ever will
be required and even then they may
drain tho trcRBury dry. Every taxpay
er should watch carefully every ma-
neuver of tho Beaver City people.
Beaver County Republican (Gray)
The above Is a fair example of tho
snapshot judgment and prejudice
which exists In somo romoto ports of
the county where n few disgruntle'd
and pessimistic individuals would strive
to stir up stiife and hatred aga'nM tho
county seat. Such knockers and chronic
k(ckors are hardly worth noticing for
their complaints are wholly without
foundation and only intended to mis-
lead and prejudlco those 'vho do not
take the time to investigate tho true
merits ot tho case.
The statement that $500 has been do
nated by the County Commissioners to
''build a road between Beaver and For-
gan" is absolutely false. It is true
that that sum will bo appropriated to-
gether with $1000 donated by the two
towns abovo referred to and $1200 by
the W. F. A N. W. Railway Company
to build a road through the Sand Hills
north of Beaver but in no sonlo of the I
a$pril Is .the money to be expended I J
WilUJiy lur iliu Ul'liciib iu wiu tnu Lun us.
It should bo remembered that the
road is for the benefit of tho farmers
that they may have a chance to haul
their products to market without tho
long hard drag through tho Hand Hills
which is killing on the teams. Very
few farmers live Incither Beaver or
Forgan but a vast' majority of the farm
ors and tho taxpayers if you please
do live within the radius which this
road will serve and why are they noi
entitled to this great convenience par
ticularly when only the insignificant
sum of $500 is being expended by the
county? Traffic over the road even In
the condltii.il that it has been in here-
tofore comes from the extreme north
and south boundary lines of the county
and for a distance twelve or fifteen
miles in every direction This great
scope of country covers thousands of
acres of ground which is now produc-
ing tons and tons of wheat corn kafflr
broomcorn and otfier products just as
it has in the past when It all had to be
dragged through the Sand Hills to the
Liberal market. These farmers have
been entitled to this road Improvement
long ago and now that it is being made
principally by the energy and expense
of the county seat and Forgan it's a
mighty narrow-minded person who
will register a kick
Vast sums of monoy have been ex-
pended by the county for bridges and
other Improvements both east ana
west of Beaver and nobody around
horo raised a howl because they knew
tho expenditure was necessary and the
taxpayers deserved it but now that a
little money is being expended In the
center of tho county for the benefit of
the taxpayers here there's a great wall
in the wilderness.
If somo of the.residcnts of tin coun-
ty who are so eagor to knock their
county seat would expend a little of
their energy in trying to build It up In
stead of tear down and would boost
just half as much for their home towns
as they do for Kansas and Toxas
points they might prove a benefit to
the county in which they reside and
whero they make their living.
