Present Vault too Small.
Question. Is the Court House and vaults at Vale large enough for the
needs of the county at the present time?
Answer. No. The vault Is very small and Is now full and crowded with
recorda. The taxroll and many of the other records are left out In the open
offices because there is not room for them In the vault. Such recorda might
easily be destroyed If the building should take fire. The treasurer has his
office in the aame room as the sheriff, and In many other ways the building
is to small.
An Expensive Lawn.
Question. How much money has the lawn and trees at the court house
at Vale cost the taxpayer of the county7
Answer. The newspaper in that city claims that It took ten years time
and much expense to grow the lawn ami trees, it Is safe to say that It has cost
$5000.00. With proper soil the same results could be produced In a single
season, and at a trifling expense. Money has paid for wells and gaa engine
pumping plants.
Vale Wants You to Build $200,000 House
Question. If the taxpayers do not accept Ontario's offer to donate a
court house to the county, how long will It be before they will have to pay for
one?
Answer. Probably some one or
Vale think the opportunity Is ripe. They insist that a suitable Court house can
not be built for less than $150,000 to $200,000. Hence when the time comes
the taxpayers of the county can be certain that Vale will attempt to Inflict a
building of that cost upon them.
How Long Will it Last?
Question. How long will the court house which Ontario proposes to
donate be sufficient to accommodate the business of tho County.
Answer. The proposed building Is very substantial, and Is thoroughly
modern and convenient In every respect. It has about twice tho floor space
of the present court house, and several times as much vault room and storage
space. Large and commodlus offices arc provided for each county official. The
building mill be sufficient for all the needs of the county for the next fortv
years.
Not Charity, But Business.
Question, la a town so small and weak that Its very existence depends
entirety upon the location of the county seat therein, a suitable place for a
county teat?
Answer. No. In such a town the value of the county property Is continu
ally decreasing Instead of Increasing There Is no tendency to built up sultablo
and proper accommodations In auch a town for tho benefit of the public having
county business to transact. No town has a right to ask tho taxpayers of the
county to continually prop It up.
I. 1 V 1 Ik i
mreiv a nusiness rroposuion
Question. Is the attempt of Ontario to procure the county seat an attempt
to ruin and destroy Vale, and la It morally wrong to ask tho taxpayers to make
the removal T
Answer. No. It la purely a matter of business competition between two;
cities. It Is the aame thing as though a new merchant should come to Vale
and open up a store. To a certain extent he would absorb some of the
business of the old merchants, and thereby Injure them; but no one could say
that he waa doing anything wrong, or deny his right to build up a good busi
ness at the expense of the other merchants. The same thing would be true
If another lawyer or doctor should locate in Vale and start to practice.
Ontario has exactly the same right to compete for the county seat. Be
sides the county seat belongs to the taxpayers of the county and not to Vale
or mi other city. When sixty per cent., of the owners destro to remove
the county seat to some other location they have both a legal and moral
right to do so. Those who located In Vale and went Into business there
knew ail of these things, and simply took a business risk and chance on '
the county aeat always being located at Vale. If they failed to rightly judge
the future there Is no one to blame for their poor Judgment; nor can they i
justly ask the taxpayera to leave the county aeat at Vale on that account,
and eventually become taxed for a $160,000 court house to satisfy Vale's
Ideals of a proper court house.
It is Perfectly Legal.
Question. Does the City Charter of Ontario permit the city to erect
a court house and donate the aame to the public?
Answer. The city can legally do this under the powers contained In Its
charter. This charter was legally adopted by vote of the people of the city.
Under it the city council has such powers as are directly given In the
charter, and also auch Implied powers as are necessary to carry Into
effect Its provisions. Section 81 of the Charter provldea among other things
that the Council ahall have power to provide for the erection of a city Jail,
and any other public buildings for the uae of the city or public. It not a
court house a public building for the uae of the public?
The Charter Provision.
Section IIS, of the Charter provldea: "Power and authority la hereby
given to the Council and the said council Is hereby authorised to borrow money
on the faith of the city, to loan the credit thereof, or both, and to that end
to provide for the Issuance of bonds and warrants for any purpose, which.
In the judgment of the council Is beneficial to the interests of said city, and
to designate the manner and time for the payment thereof and the Interest
thereon; etc."

BROKE DOWN
Gives the Real Facts In Regard to
Her Case and Tells Now She
Suffered.
.Toneshero, Ark. "I suffered a com
plete break down In health, H RM time
ago." writes Mrs. A. McOlll, from this
place. "I wbb very weak nnd could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, I got a bottle of Cardnl It
did me so much good, I was surprised,
and took some more.
Ileforo I took Cardul, I had ncvlache
and backache, and sometimes I would
cry for hours. Now I au. over a'l that,
and can do all kinds of housework. I
think It is the greatest med .no 04
earth."
In the past fifty years, then ands of
ladles have written, like Mr. MaOlll.
to tell of the boneflt receUed from
Cardul. i
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely Indicates the great value of this
tonlo remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you a sufferer? YesT
Cardul Is the medicine you neeo.
We urge you to try It.
