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.

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 •• near.

All right, go ahead and vote. Then I vote 'aye V u y yy Senator Leedy said, and as the words left his lips a burst of cheers and applause came from the gallaries.

Guilty as charged in Article 19, the chief justice said.

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 vas placed in the greedy and incom petent hands < officials of Sheridan $910,000.00 r # / / J Many Gifts i U !r T i I i: Wn * V Vi This store is crowded with attractive and beau tiful Gift suggestions for Christmas.

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 if you wish to note a reduction in your tax notice.
