Show candidates AND t COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL how the county seat removal question Is going to affect the fortunes ot of the various candidates for county offices this tall fall Is causing no little speculation at this time undoubtedly a candidates attitude toward that question which would be popular in one end of he county would not go over so well in the other As a result of oc that situation we shall see a lot of aspirants for bouny offices sidestepping that issue whenever possible nor shall we blame them other conditions being equal the candidate who favors removal presumably would be popular with the most people from expressions we hear throughout the county we should not be surprised sur prized however if 1 a platform in opposition to removal at this time would carry a candidate farther than at first might be imagined of course such a platform get a candidate by the convention of his party because no doubt a majority of the delegates to the conventions will favor removal but beyond the conventions the sentiment might not be so alced there are numerous people who are boosters boasters bo tor for and loyal to the countes coun tys metropolis sincere in their belief that cedar is the right place for the seat of county government and that in due time it will be there they are equally sincere in their belief that this the proper time to attempt removal present financial conditions including tax lax burdens which are increasingly heavy they feel make additional bonded indebtedness tor a new court house at this time and the idea of moving out of the present courthouse and renting a less suitable one tor for an indefinite perlor of time appeal to them so 90 the candidate who dare voice such an attitude might get a very substantial vote even from the end of the county which theoretically favors removal he certainly would find sympathy in the other en eid where the feeling Is that in fairness the county seat should remain where it Is or arit if it must must move then not until such allme as a clear majority would vote in favor of a large enough bond to erect a courthouse that would be a credit to the county we ve wonder it if our chamber ot of commerce officers were justified in deciding not to attempt a chautauqua this year true ticket sales tor for such an event might be a bit slow particularly it if they worked harder than the committee worked them last year but we opine that 1 14 we dont have a chautauqua a some medicine show or other traveling concern will carry away a large share ot of the money which might have supported a chautauqua andee and remained here to help finance the chambers activities worked with the tha same zeal here that it to Is in cedar city a chautauqua Is the best way we can think 0 of to finance a public cause |
