Gilliam Taxpayers Ask Why the
Burglar Alarm Failed to
: Register on Post and
Bridge Deals
The two-part novelette pub
lished in the last issue of the
Times over the name of H. A.
Thiessen is quite creditable as a
"first attempt" However the
honorable judge overlooked a
few things which are important
parts in his scenario. Even so,
it is really a much better literary
effort than we had expected.
We pass over his introduction
without criticism, it being a
fairly good imitation of hot air,
and, going to Part One of the 1
story proper, we will say that the
first is true as far as the author
went but, as we said before, he
left out two-thirds of the impor
tant facts. As this will be up
for the decision of the court
next week wo will say no more
about it until that decision is
made when it will be thoroughly
explained.. We will 6ay here,
however, that the judge knows
no more about the ' cost of pro
during printed material than we
do about the most difficult bit of
surgery, hence his inability to
pass upon printing bills with any
degree of fairness. He next erred
in saying that the case now up
had been once thrown, out of
court. It was not It was with
drawn on account of improper
service. The next sentence in
dited by the budding literary
genius, referring to "blow that
killed father," is where the hu
man, interest element, so neces
sary to a successful story, is
brought into play.
In referring tothe appointment
of the official paper the first of
this year, the judge says that
"the Globe refused to swear that
its list was genuine and that the
Times had a sworn statement in
accordance with the require
ments of law." This is one of
the deepest parts of the author's
plot The law does not ; re
quire the publisher of , a news
paper, asking the appointment
as official paper to file a sworn
statement of circulation .when
application is made. Rather the
law says that in case of a contest

There will be the usual- minor
sports and a big dance each
night Mayer Burns is in charge
and this goes far toward insur
ing a successful celebration.
for the appointment the court
shall notify the applicants and
set a day, on or before which
Sworn statements shall be filed.
This the court failed to do but
appointed the Times without fur
ther notification to the Globe.
One could hardly expectanything
else, however, after the Globe
had, by reviewing the couit
assailed the dignity of the judge.
Thiessen then rambles on to the
effect that the Times agreed to
publish the tax lists for ten cents
per square while the Globe had
charged fity cents. The Times
ha3 published the lists at 10c per
square but it doas not follow that
it is a fair rate by any means. A
farmer may plow another's field
for 10c per acre but that does
not mean that other farmers
must be as foolish. : '
In Part Two, regarding the
lining of the jail, the judge gets
behind the grand jury. It makes
no difference to the Globe how
many times this was recom
mended, it still remains in our
view a needless expenditure qf
the taxpayers' money. '
Now while the judge, who has
chosen to style himself as a bur
glar alarm, is still in the literary
mood we would ask him where
the burglar alarm wa3 when the
Interior WarihouseCo., of wh'c'.i
he is local manager, . received a
county warrant for $830 for posts?
Where has this sime alarm been
during the last six months when
$30,000 of the taxpayer's money
have been expended on. roads?
Where was this same alarm
when the contract was given - to.
one man to erect a county bridge
across the John Dsiy without ask
ing for compatitive bids? Where
was the alarm when a county
warrant was' drawn several
weeks ago to pay for this bridge
when there hn't a slick of tim
ber on the ground as yet? There
have been false alarms. Even
vaunted burglar alarms, adver
tised as effective, have been
known to fail miserably at cer
tain time. 1. -
