CARBON COUNTY NOW
WORSE THAN BROKE I
Extravagance, Incom
petency and Waste
of Funds Make the
Bull Moose Admin
istration the Limit.
The nnnunl flnancinl report of Cnrbon county
for the year ending June .'10, 1015, prepared by E.
S. Horsley, county clerk, npproved by tho lonrd
of county commissioners and ordered published
by them, made it appearance in last week's Issue
of the News-Advocate. It is buried on the patent
inside of that publication, alongside of Lydia
Pinkham, little liver pills, kidney cure, pilo salve,
pale pills for pink people and similar advertising
a position where newspaper readers would
never suspect matters of local Interest. Tho
burial of the report thus Is no doubt intentional
by those most concerned. While the report is
vague in many respects, yet it succinctly shows
that the "bull moose" administration has during
tho past year been true to itu previous history in
it reckless handling of the public funds, and its
entire disregard of tho statutory limitations
IJIIIbyil UIIUII Ull! IHJWIT Ul IIIU uuiuu ui cuuiuy
commissioners in the creation of county debts.
Much of the report deals in generalities, so
that it is extremely difficult to nnalyze, as for
instance among tho disbursements is contained
an item, "general expense $5,211.40." Whether
this money has been donated to administration
pets, or whether it has been expended for legiti
mate purposes is not indicated, and any taxpayer
who might desire to know what tho $5211.46 had
been expended for would have to go over tho
county books and figure it out for himself. There
is also an item of disbursements which shows
"premium on county officers' bonds $1,015.00."
If Tho Sun is correctly informed there is no
statutory authority for tho county commission
ers to pay tho premiums on tho bonds of county
officers. County officers nre paid salaries, and
are required to furnish their own bonds. Thcro
is certainly nothing in the defined powers of tho
county commissioners which authorizes such an
obligation to be incurred on behalf of tho county.
This being true, tho official ring in office have
by means of such appropriation mulcted the tax
payers in that one item out of more than a thou
sand dollars.
Carbon County Worse Than Unnkrupt.
Tho indigent poor fund item is represented by
$3,G2G.77. This would seem to be a very large
expenditure for that purpose, as it represents n
very largo percentage of tho moneys available
for tho operation of the coiuHy's affairs. Wo
assume that the indigent poor nre very grateful
to the progressive administration, wliilo the in
dignant poor taxpayers may well investigate tho
detail of the large item so represented, particu
larly with n vlow of ascertaining tho reasonable
ness of BJth appropriations, and in cases where
supplies have been furnished, tho prices should
be examined, nnd Tho Sun has no doubt but that
the bulk of that item is represented in appropria
tions to "bull moose" merchants who have
charged a plenty for all supplies furnished.
An item is indicated of $9,020.00 for work on
roads and bridges." Probably one-third of this
sum would represent the grand total of valuo
flowing from that expenditure. In the state
ment of receipts $258.00 is indicated as tho ag
gregate amount collected during tho year for poll
taxes. This would indicate that about 10 per
cent of the legitimate poll taxes is being collected
in the county. The report also shows thnt tho
county Ih worse than bankrupt. BONDED TO
THE LIMIT WITH OVER $100,000.00 OF
BONDED DEBT- MORE THAN $16,000.00 IN
WARRANTS OUTSTANDING: $14,000.00 IN
NOTES AT BANKS: NEARLY $20,000.00 IN
COURT JUDGMENTS. AND AN OVERDRAFT
OF OVER $2,000.00 BESIDES I
I'ortunute That Property Isn't Portable.
The statement Ib approved by tho commission
ers nnd sworn to by the clerk, nnd about tho only
satisfactory surprise that it contains is in its de
tail of general assets, consisting of county prop
erty, which shows that the court house, the poor
house, somo county bridges and n pesthouse are
still owned by the county. It is n fortunate fact
thnt this property Is not portable. Tho most .H
cursory examination of the statement will con- f M
vlnce nny intelligent reader of the utter Incffi- I 1
ciency of the county officials, who are mnnnging h M
tho affairs of Cnrbon county. The enrmnrks of f M
favoritism, and of extravagance arc everywhere C' ' M
apparent, nnd when the taxpayers receive their f M
statement of taxes, as they will in tho courso of M
a few days, they will be appalled by the tretnen-
dous rnto of increase in tho tax levies resulting ' Kl
from such incompetency. IN THE CITY OF I . H
PRICE THE AGGREGATE RATE WILL BE t . W . H
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 7 PER CENT. I. -M
It is little wonder that citizens of this com- j lp H
munity have at different times effected organl- , ' j H
zntions for the purpose of entreating the sheriff Wt H
to grant permission for the conduct of business m H
in violation of law. Between the two occanB H
thcro is not another community with anywhere H
nenr as high a rate of taxation. No mnn can R c H
mnko an honest return on his property valuation, ft H
pay the taxes, and preserve his property from H
cpnflscntion, if cngnged in the conduct of legiti- Hr - H
mntc business. The fnvoritcs of the administrn- H
tion, ns might naturally bo expected, arc taxed - H
nt a comparatively low valuation, nnd this fnct k ,H
together with the favoritism shown to them in K. H
other ways by the board of county commission- V H
crs enables somo shaky institutions to survive, K H
even under the extravagant system in operation S 'H
in this county. Thnt tho commissioners pnid as V H
high hs nine dollars per thousand to Stevenson H H
for lumber above current market prices is a fact v H
well known to all the people who live here, nnd is I K H
an illustration of the sublime beauties of pro- I H JM
grcssivcism as it is engineered In Cnrbon county. . , i V1 H
No Interest Paid On County Funds. I . HL H
Bnrboglio's bank at Helper holds tho county ' m H
funds, upon which it pays no interest, nt the ' . F, H
same time loaning the money back to Carbon , . B H
cuuiii. ai. o my cuui., wiiuu iiiu win uium ui niu , m m
county in tho hnnds of tho general public bear flf, M
but 5 per cent interest. That tho bank of Barbo- K M
glio and County Commissioner Hamilton is being Jf M
handsomely rewnrdetl for the trick its officers Wjk M
turned in behalf of tho "bull mooscrs" in tho last , I m fl
election is Indicated in tho finnncinl statement ' S H
of the county. Thoso taxpayers who voted the Wt M
progressive band into power aro receiving juat m- H
whnt they voted for, and they aro ignorant in- ' , W
deed if they cannot see that property values In .1 K H
Cnrbon county will never return to 50 per cent m M
of normal until theso men aro displaced, nnd nil ' m H
economical and Intelligent business administrn- l Ji H
tion is given the supervision of county affairs. j . m H
Your prutlcnt man will nover buy property in n .' p H
community burdenctl with a tax of 7 por cent, 1 Ic, H
never NEVER. Economy of administration f -1 - 'r'H
expenses can only effect a decreaso In taxation, if r'-H
nnd n decreaso in taxation Is the strongest factor .-'I? i ;.. -H
by whicli enhnnccd property values ore influ- ;!U j c "" H
enccd. Public funds aro being continuously dl- il'al ifc'';('H
verted into improper channels thousands of Hlit W , nuH
dollars have been uselessly wnsted in futile llti- iifjfj ' ''""H
gation, and in feathering the nests of tho politi- I y. -j f ' M
cal henchmen of irresponsible servants in whose 4 J ( v fl
hnnds have been placed the affairs of Carbon , . ; y ,.
county. j. j'.., f
Now the grotesque spectacle is presented of n &V 4 I
bunch of church deacons and others who make if, I , H
serious claims to respectability, seriously soak- II k -,
ing to influence the sheriff to permit tho open- 'l i '
ing of bawdy houses and the utter disregard of iiy p
law on the part of tho saloonists in order thnt mj r . M
their business may continue to exist under the fur' iU
burdens resulting from the election of incompe- jfifji M
tents to public off ice. This suggestion is not in- Bui; ' W
tonded to apply to Sheriff Henry, who had tho Hlf j( , ,
llllillliuuu Ul DVUIII1UIIJ v,..i.i.llft mvi -.i . i,' 1 't
overtures mado to him, and who has expressed fy i " .y
himself as being henrtily asuamed of the political t I . , I ",'
bosses who have sought to Induco him to dlsre- ll t'r I r
gnrd his oath of office in order that they and f j. f. ,
their friends might be nblc to reap a profit from 1 f ' I K t
criminal practices. I t 8
Benfcr's Graft Is Working Smoothly. jt j j j
Under tho heading of "books and stationery" h jL r
it will be noticed that the sum of $2594.92 was M VhA
spent the pnst year. For the same time ending Ji tjt Of it
June 30, 1914, tha expenditure was $1741.79, an L m jP 'i
increase for tho year of $845.18. For tho year 1 Hp h
ending June 30, 1913, the expenditures for books 8 Kg K J
and stationery totaled $m01.85, so that for the I IK f "
past year the cost of books and static nery was jMSS r',;;
almost double what it was when the "bull moose" ul J
crowd went into office. This is explnlned by the nj pi!,(-
fact that under tho "bull moose" nnd democratic rT - up? y
commissioners there has been no competition on 1 ii A '1
printing. Local people, nor outsiders for that 1 If K--' 4
matter, have not been icrmlttcd to file bids on m lk F' J
