Editor Enterprise:—I hear a
low subterranean gowl-gumble
like distant thunder portending
the gathering of a storm. The
taxpayers are certainly dissatis¬
fied with the action of the com¬
missioners, and they have asked
them to give an account of their
stewardship.
The taxpayers want to know
why they have paid one physi¬
cian nearly seven hundred dol
ars of the people’s money. But
they answered not a word. They
are as silent as death. It is as
the general pulse of life stood
still—not a bugle note is heard.
One man told me they said the
taxpayer was too light—like the
proverbial gnat on the bull’s
horn. As much as to say, “the
taxpayer might grumble much as
they please, it did not disturb
them.’’
Now the taxpayer came with
another request: “Why was not
the proceedings of the court pub
l.shed until after the primary?”
Let us see if this is again the
proverbial gnat on a bull’s horn.
Do you feel so securely seated
in your royal chair of state that
there is no power to unseat you.
I am sorry to believe our govern¬
ment is fast becoming dominated
by a moneyed oligarchy.
But I am glad to sav it has not
yet fastened its fangs on the
vitals of our land. Now, when
Lamar did something his people
thought wrong, he had the n an
hood to resign and go before the
people and ask their endorsement
of what he had done and tney
endorsed him.
Now, have these gentlemen got
nerve and manhood to do like¬
wise. I am sorry to say I don’t
believe they dare resign their
nomination and go before the
people on their record. If they
haven’t got the manhood to re¬
sign, then I think the taxpayers
ought to ask them to resign.
In another matter the court re¬
minds me of what Uncle Johnnie
said when he hired an overseer.
The first year it was “your
mules, etc.” The second year it
was “our mules, etc.” The
third year it was “my mules,
etc.” This court is acting just
as if the taxpayers were servants
and they were Lord of Creation.
They asked the taxpayers to au¬
thorize them to issue bonds. The
taxpayers said “no.” They say
by their action “you have acted
the fool, and w r e will give you
another opportunity to do as we
order you. If you act the fool
again w’e will make you sorry for
it.”
Mr. Editor, I am a friend to
every member of the board. 1
haven’t a single unkind feeling
for one of them. I write alone in
the interest of Mitchell County
and her taxpayers, not that I love
Caesar less, but that 1 love Rome
more. They are setting a prece¬
dent that is far-reaching and will
bankrupt the county and enslave
tne people.
Fellow taxpayers, had I the
power I would dip my pen in the
liquid lightning and throw my
voice in the bellowing thunder
and ask the taxpayers to rise up
in their might and shake this
oligarchial bondage from hc-r like
dew drops from the lion’s mane.
Now’, if you rise up in your
might and teach officers every¬
where that they are servants of
the people and not masters, it
would be a lesson that will sound
along down the corriders of time.
Then instead of reminding the
taxpayers that they are but the
gnat on the bull’s horn, they will
be reminded of that fable, “When
the gnat flew on the bull’s nose
and stung him until he laid down,
bellowed, pounded up the earth
and threw his tail over his back.”
I am unutterably opposed to
any bond issue that saddles twen¬
ty-five thousand dollars debt on
tne county and build an eight or
ten thousand dollar jail. It is
bad financially. Let them use a
little economy and stop paying
out money only for the public
good, W. L. Scaife.
