The kid who goes to the show
with lim pocket full of money and
comes back without auy. usually
has very plausible reasons to give
as to how it was speut. even
thougli lie did lose a part of it in
the ahell game. In like manner
the present Republican commis-
sioners have spent so recklessly
the tax payers' money within the
past two years and caused a defic-
it of $14,000 and added $15,000 to
the taxes for next year are ingen-
ious in their attempts to prove
that those who spent the money
hadn't a thing in the world to
do with the $13,000 judgment or
the $14,000 deficit or the $15,000
increase in taxes for the next year
or the $18,000 additional indebt-
^.Aedness they have fixed upon the
county.
Aa to the $13,000 judgment the
facta in a nutshell are these; that
on the 5th day of June. 1911. three
days before Commissioners Annett
and Nail appeared before Judge
l.iscum to testify, there was no
money on hands with which to pay
claims. County Treasurer Walk-
er's monthly report, filed with
these commissioners, showed that
there were in the funds on which
the county warrants are drawn
the sum of $12,864.00 within a few
dollars of enough to pay every
claim against the county, for
which judgment was rendered.
