When Berlin I earns about the eastern bread riots it may change its slogan to "Starve America in 80 days!" Stand by your colors -if you are not in favor of the manner which the county's mony has been spent, sign the recall. If you had a man working on your ranch whose services were not satisfactory, how long would ... i i- r you listen to nis excuses ueiuru you fired him? The reason some men don't save money now is because they are sure going to strike it rich some day. Incidentally that's also the reason they die poor. John P. Jones, who'Js a pre paredness fiend, advises "Whi'e these steel nets are being hung up and mines being laid, the authorities should not overlook Powder River." Nearly every town has its home detractors who think it "smart," to call it a "jay"town. Of course, if a man's town is not sporty enough for him he ought to move. Whether that would help him or not, it would the town. Elsewhere in this issue are . articles on both sides of the re call petition. Read them both and then study the facts and figures bearing on the question.

Editor Editorial Association .75 FREE Baker Commercial Club vs. jNlessick and Riller. The editor of the News being kind enough to offer a limited amount of space to express one's opinion on the recall, I am taking him at his word and will express mine. If you understand the heading of this article, you have the whole thing in a nutshell, but for fear some may not understand it 1 will explain. The Baker Commercial Club has been wanting a donation from the county court of $2000 a year for the county I?) fair and S1500 a year for the expense of running the Commercial Club and Judge Messick would not stand for the graft. Therefore the Commercial Club took it upon themselves to oust Messick. I want it distinctly understood that I am not fighting the Mes-sick-Ritter battle. The fact of the matter is I would not know Ju Jge Messick if I saw him and I do not know Mr. Ritter, but I do think they should have justice. The meeting they (C. C.) held at Baker to nominate an opposintr candidate, was a cut and dried affair like our old linv political conventions used to be. One of the pentlemen selected on the nominating committee found that when they retired to nominate the candinate, that there was not any nominating to do as the can didate had already been selected. Does that look like a frameup to you? As for Mr. Duby, I know noth ing about him except that he is the Commercial Club's booster and is in favor of the $3500 graft. I want the people who are sign ing the recall petition to under stand that if Mr. Duby is elected that $3500 will come out of the tax payers pockets every year for the fair and Club, and who gets the benefit of the fair and Club? Baker. There has been a comparison of expense, or tne difference in the cost of steel bridges bought by Baker and by the county court. They tell you that the ones bought by the court cost quite a bit more than the ones bought by Baker, which I will not '.leny, but they did not tell you the ones the court bought- vvere heavier, made of better 3teel and that there was no comparison between the two. Why? They want to mislead you, they want to make you believe the court is a-bunch of grafters., The grand jury met, the (Com mercial Club) fuels (?) were pre sented to them and no true bill v as returned against Messick and Kilter. You will sit least have to give them the bono'tit of Hie doubt. If there was a case against them, the grand jury did not do its. duty. The Baker Herald says it was a jury selected by Judge Messick, but the Herald is the Commercial Cl'ib mouthpiece and so you will have to take that for what it is worth. Does the Herald mean to insinuate that the grand jury was corrupt? Judge Messick Served one full term as county judge previous to this term. At the last election he had the largest majority of any candidate on the ticket. Does that not look like an endorsement of his past record? If it was not for a special elec tion to be held by the state on June lth on the Road Bonding Act it would be necessary to have a special election on the recall. This would cost the tax nayers of this county from $15000 to $5000; add to this the .S00 the Commercial Club wants and you will have an expense of from $0500 to $8f00. and yet the tell you about the mony the county court has squandered. Do a littie thinking for your selves. Do not let a bunch of politicians that want some of the uie themselves and you will vote right. What is the answer to this oroblem? The Commercial Club vs. Mes sick and Ritter. , I thank the editor for his time and space. F. F. SEA VERS.
