the senate suspended Governor Wal
ton following the filing of the im
Peachment charges against him.
The vote on the pardon and parole
charge, which determined the removal,
followed with surprising suddenness
after the examination of the last wit
ness. E W. Marland, president of the
Marland Refining company, had bare
ly left the stand when W. E. Disney,
chairman of the house board of man
agers which conducted the prosecution,
announced that the evidence was con
cluded.
Few Preliminary Maneuvers
A few preliminary' maneuvers, and
then a motion was made to vote first
on article 19, the clemency charge.
The court sustained the motion and
the prosecution summed up briefly the
testimony introduced in support of the
charge.
Working with a speed that had be
come unusal in the trial, the court
then took up the roll call. The cham
ber was intensly quiet as one senator
after another arose and voted "aye,
many with voices that were kept
steady with difficulty.
Twenty-eight votes were necessary
to convict, and as the clerk read down
the list , each name called adding a
vote against the executive, the tension
increased as' the decisive vote drew

Senator C, D. Leedy. of Arnett w T as
the twenty-eighth man on the roll.
With the determining vote in his pow

vote "no," unless given authority later
to explain his ballot.
A pause ensued, then a voice broke
the stillness.

All right, go ahead and vote.

Senator Leedy
said, and as the words left his lips a
burst of cheers and applause came
from the gallaries.
When the roll was complete the
clerk read the result and Chief ustice
J. T. Johnson, of the state supreme
court, who presided at the trial, an
nounced the verdict.
Guilty as charged in Article 19,
the chief justice said. More applause
gieeted his words, and brought a has
ty reprimand from the marshal of the
senate who threatened to clear the
gallaries if the order of the court
again was disturbed.

TAXES IN SHERI
DAN COUNTY
(Continued from page 1)
connected therewith.
On January 1st, 1918, the indebted
ness of Sheridan County, omitting odd
figures consisted of:
Bonded Debt ..
Warrant Debt
Total
On Jan. 1st, 1920, tne indebtedness
of Sheridan County, omitting odd fig
ures amounted to:'
Bonded Debt
Warrant Debt
$377,000.00
154,000.00
$531,000.00
$810,000.00
355,000.00
$1,165,000.00
Total
Or an increase in two years of 119
per cent. On top of this increase
Roosevelt County paid Sheridan Coun
ty $218,000.00, which if not paid
would make the increase about 200
per cent. This vast increase is due
only to two things: graft and mis
management.
In some instances an equal in
crease to the above has taken place
in the outstanding warrant and bond
ed indebtedness in some of the local
municipalities in Sheridan County dur
ing the past two years. There is no
excuse for such a condition to exist.
If the taxpayers are unable to pay
the taxes, or if the municipality is
unable to operate on the levy that the
taxpayer can pay, then the expendi
tures of the municipality should be
decreased to meet the ability of the
taxpayer to pay his taxes. Steady
increases in indebtedness during the
past two years are inexcusable and
w T e quote the following figures to sub
stantiate our contention;
On June 30, 1922, the indebtedness
of Sheridan County, omitting odd fig
ures, amounted to:
Bonded Debt .
Warrant Debt
.$810,000.00
445,000.00
$1,255,000.00
On June 30, 1923, the indebtedness
of Sheridan County, omitting odd fig
ures, amounted to:
Bonded Debt
Warrant Debt
Total
$565,000.00
355,000.00
Total
or a decrease of almost one-third of
all the indebtedness in one year.
This could be improved by an addi
tional $225,000.00, were it not for the
Sheridan County State Bank fiasco
which has tied up over a quarter of
a million of dollars which is the pio
perty of Sheridan county but which

petent hands < officials of Sheridan

From these facts and figures, it is
up to the taxpayers to
method whereby the administration
of his local school district, his local
town or city, is required to remain
within the limits of the resources of
the local municipality and also make
at least an attempt to reduce the ex
penditures and also recruce the indebt
edness. With the reduction in the
County Debt during the past year as
we have shown in this article, there
will be available an additional $21,000
with which to pay off indebtedness,
but which would otherwise go to
eastern investors to pay interest on
the $345,000.00 eliminated from the
wrong side of the ledger during the
past year.
You may think that your taxes are
unbearable in some cases, but you
have to use the same measure^ that
the county has used to reduce them
