The many complaints that were expected regarding the condition of county roads after the abolition of the highway department on May 15,| have been pouring into Casper ever since the day following issuance of the order by Coun! Jack Scott and Guy T. Morgan. George Stilphen, ranch Deer Creek park, js quoted as saying today that the condition of the roads through that section is so deplorable that ranchers living in the fine pateau country of the park will suffer hardships not only in harvest ing in them also, Commissioners Owner at their crops but marketing Farming conditions on the plateau this year have been ideal. There has been sufficient rainfall and plenty of fine weather to permit farm work to proceed. Consequent- ly the ranchers there will have at least five carloads of potatoes to market and fine crops of wheat and oats. They desire to market this pro- duce in Casper, the logical trading center? Some of them lack proper harvesting machinery, supplies and equipment. While it is desired to buy this equipment and to do their marketing of crops in Casper, the logical trading center, the condition of the roads has become such that they are all but impassable, it is stated. Besides the ruts, ditches and chuck holes caused by the rains, huge boulders have also rolled down into the highway forming barriers to traffic.. The old “Nigger Creek Hill road is hardly usable at present and the new Spring Creek Hill road, which was ctarted by the commis sioners last year is in almost as de. plorable a state of repair, it is sald.

Sh ¢ | Perkin RULE IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS (Editorial. ) If there ever was a time when citizens of Natrona county should seriously consider its economic, busi- ness and social problems from the standpoint of good government that time is now here. The public has been given ample opportunity to digest the contents of the Audit Report for 1924 provided at the instance of Natrona County Taxpayers’ association. That re- port contains sufficient evidence of unmistakable mal- administration in the conduct of county affairs to war- rant prosecution of Jack E. Scott and G. T. Morgan. present members of the county board. The total general fund expenditures in 1924 were $841,124.47, or nearly two and one half times greater | than expenditures in 1923. The county was in the red more than $242,000, illegal expenditures, on October | 31 last. That alone justifies the investigation. In- competence, disregard of all business ethics and su- | preme brazen effrontery marked the actions of those | two members of the board throughout their adminis- | tration, and even now they are showing a marked dis- | regard of all moral obligation due the public from men | in public office. ; Those public officials charged with the responsi- bility of protecting the people against crime and graft have taken the necessary steps for the removal of the two members of the board. The legal procedure is | one which must be followed with care and caution. The process is necessarily slow, but in due course will be carried out fearlessly and without passion or prejudice. The.q consider ion for the people of Natrona county to tax problems of payroll is not nvolving “We have information that must be investigated and \ : tchebe companies, bu etween decent and law al x peo- ca 1 t tammy Invest r ple and the grafting element in public offi It i : : enters ’ Bis pe fie question whether the people depending for a livelihood |e atenke counwel, ache demanited | dence tr the cane of Shepherd who} im this payroll community are to be given ample pro- Hat EA a Ceowe® ba sed from | is charged with having murdered his| tection against wholesale graft and corruption, or further inquiry as ible jury | fexter son, William Nelson MeCiin-| whether the reign of outlawry of public funds is to tampering. | tock, by the administration of: ty | continue unabated.
