BUDGET AT MEETINS
COUNTY AGENT STAYS
USUAL FIGHT OVER EXTENSION
WORK TAKES TIME
DEPUTIES RAISED.
The budget -committee's report
asks the oounty court to levy $335,
OOO in round figures for all state
. and county purposes for 1923. This
is something like $20,000 under the
levy for 1922. The report was com-
pleted and signed by the committee
at the close of a two-days' session
Thursday afternoon. It will be con
sidered by the county court some
time before the first of the month,
at which time the official levies for
next year will be made.
For general expenditures, taxes
will be about $30,000 less next year
than they were this year in Malheur
county. But there is a new item of
$1 0,000 which had to be put into the
budget this year to retire road
bondi, which cuts the saving to
$20,000. The big savings comes in
the state tax but there is also a
saving of $10,000 in general and
special county expenditures.
The budget as originally publish
ed provides for an appropriation of
$160,000 for state taxes. This was
based upon the state tax of 1922,
which was $153,000. The county
court held that the state tax was
exhovbifant for Malheur county and
sent District Attorney Lytle to ap
pear before the state tax commis
sion with evidence to prove this.
Mr. Lytle was successful enough in
pleading the case of this county- to
get the state tax for 1923 reduced
to $14.000.
As heretofore, the big fight of thp
budgot meeting centered around the
t appropriation fqr., the - county agri
cultural agent and . county club
leader. Delegations of farmers,
members of commercial organiza
tions, the Parent Teachers' Associa-
Otion and business men of the county
appeared and argued that the con
tinuation of this educational work
was essential to the county.
"It is an imposition that every
year many people of this county
have to leave their work and come
from distant parts of the county to
fight for this appropriation," said
Mr. Claggett, of Ontario. "I re
quest that hereafter the county
court determine this matter upon
the merits of the work and not
listen to the clamor of a few tax
payers." The argument of most of those in
the county, not farmers who have
asked for the continuation of this
work were aptly summed up by R.
W. Swag'er, who said he was for the
work because most of the successful
farmers of the county were for it.
After some little time of heated
arguments the budget board voted
to continue the work of these two
offices.
The amount of salaries to be paid
the deputies in the various- county
o'ffices precipitated another verbal
fight in the meeting. Last year
these salaries were cut 10 per cent
0 snd requests were made by heads
departments and by others that
these salaries be returned to the old
figure which was $125 a month for
A all chief deputies excepting the
sheriffs tax deputy, who received
$150 a month. The matter was not
settled until lust before adiourn-
ment on Thursday when the salaries
of the sheriff's field deputy, chief
denuty clerk and chief deputy
assessor were placed at $125 a
month and the salary of the tax
deputy left at $135 a month.
An unsuccessful attempt was
made to cut out the appropriation of
SfiO.OOO for the maintenance of the
4000 miles of county roads and the
various bridges in the county.
At the conclusion of the budget
hearing Judge E. H. Test stated
that ,in his opinion, the budget did
not allow enough money to main
tain tKa oniii I i nn a inut Kfluil novt
yar; that most of the bills had to :
he n;,l . w, rnvri,l,.,l for hv
law and that, in all probability,
Malheur county would he buck on a
warrant basis before the year was
over.

WANTS $I0,000DAMGES
ONTARIO WOMAN FILES SUIT
AGAINST OWNERS OF
MOORE HOTEL.
Personal damages to the extent of
$10,000 was askedv, in a suit which
was filed in the circuit court of Mal
heur county this week by Mrs. Iva
Tyler against T. II. and Theodore
Moore. AH of the parties live in
Ontario. The defendants are the
owners of the Moore hotel.
According to the allegations of
the complaint, Mrs. Ivers was run
over by an auto driven by an em
ployee of the hotel men. She al
leges the employee was a Korean
and a man of inferior intelligence
and should never have been allowed
to drive an automobile upon public
streets. The accident is alleged to
have happened in Ontario.
STOLENWpCQVERED
G. n. DAVIS RECOVERS AUTO.
AFTER EXCITING AND SPEC
TACULAR CHASE.
Nyssa, Or., Dec. 22 (Special)
A party of Nyssaites captured a
bold, bad auto thief Tuesday even
ing after a most exciting chase, be
ginning at Nyssa and ending at a
farm home in the Roswell neighbor
hood. The party was composed of
Marshal Reberger, G. H. Davis, own
er of the stolen car, F. E. Young
and Skinney Tensen, who acted as
chauffeur. F. E. Young was the
bright particular star of the con
stellation and covered himself with
glory by capturing the thief single
handed after an exciting chase of
two miles on foot through barb wire
fences and over fields.
The car was taken from the Davis
home two miles northwest of Nyssa
about 6:30 p. m. The theft was
discovered shortly after and a posse
organized and the chase begun. For
tunately the car was equipped with
vacuum tread tires and could easily
be traced. The chase led south
through Adrian and across the river
into the Roswell country and the
car was located at a farm house.
The thief soon emerged from the
house and upon being questioned
started to run, whereupon Fred
got into action, with the result
stated above. The captured man
was brought back to Nyssa and
placed in the city bastile to medi
tate upon the fact that the way of
the transgressor is hard.

BUDGET BOARD ASK LEGISLA
TURE TO FOBBEAR
AGAINST BOUNTY LAW
OTHER RESOLUTIONS WOULD
DO AWAY WITH ALL SPE
CIAL ELECTIONS.
The fight entered into this week
by: The Enterprise against legisla
tion proposed by Governor-elect
Pierce to stop the state guarantee
of irrigation bond interest was
backed up by the budget committee
of Malheur county which passed
resolutions opposed to any such ac
tion.
The resolution was directed to the
legislature and the governor. It
called attention to the agricultural
condition at the present time and
stated the fact that it would mean
wholesale bankruptcy for farmers
on state guaranteed irrigation dis
tricts were they forced to assume a
heavy interest charge the coming
year. The resolution asked that the
state guarantee be continued for the
time intended under the law on
those projects now operating under
this plan.
Individual members of the budget
committee which is composed of
County Judge E. II. Test, Commis
sioners Dean and Vines, H. C.
Boyer, William Jones and A. A. Gut
teridge, were unanimous in this
matter.
Through resolutions the legisla
ture will be asked by the budget
committee to repeal the law provid
ing for bounties on preditory ani
mals. Other resolutions ask the legisla
ture to repeal the preditory animal
bounty law; to include Malheur
county in any possible state con
ducted campaign against alfalfa
weevil; to repeal the law creating
the offices of watermasters in the
various districts of the state; and
to pass laws prohibiting any special
elections.
The bounty law is costing Mal
heur county many thousands of dol
lars every year and is not acconv
plishing its object as the number of
coyotes killed each year is increasing
by big leaps. The county court of
Malheur is determined to go before
the legislature this year with evi
dence and fight this law off the
statutes if it is possible.
Governor-elect Pierce has said he
would ask the legislature for an ap
propriation to fight the alfalfa wee
vil in Baker county. Inasmuch as
Malheur county grows more alfalfa
than any other county in the state
the court believes that any such
state campaign should include this
county also, and is asking for it.

EDITORIAL
IS HE A FRIEND?
(By the Editor.)
At the outset of this article per-!
mit me to say that I dislike very
much to criticise Governor-elect
Walter M. Pierce this early in the
game. I did not support him, as my
readers well know, and some may
thing I will jump at every oppor
tunity to discredit him or bis ac
tions. But my intentions are not to
do so. Mr. Pierce has heralded him
self as the farmers' friend and wa
elected on a platform of promises
to reduce the farmers' taxes and in
crease the income from their busi
ness. I am with him in both of
these and will do what I can to
help.
But is Mr. Pierce a friend of the
farmers of Malheur county?
He told them so at Cairo last Fri
day in no uncertain terms. But
within a few hours he told the peo
ple of Portland the city people he
made so much fun of at Cairo he
was against any further state guar
antee of interest of irrigation dis
tricts and would ask the legislature
to repeal the existing law to that
effect.
While professing to be the friend
of the farmers of Malheur county
Mr. Pierce has deliberately kicked
them and kicked them while they
are down. And he has also deliver
ed a blow to farmers of Crook, Kla
math, Josephine and other counties
in the state where irrigation dstricts
are eniovinar state guarantee of in
tcrest. " ,
Mr. Pierce cannot plead ingorance
of what will happen to thousands of
farmers in Oregon if this payment
of interest by the Btate is stopped
at this time. At his own request of
ficers and members of the Irrigation
Congress met with him last week at
Baker to consider this very question,
Sound, substantial farmers and
stockmen from all over the state
plainly told Mr. Pierce that disaster
to thousands of farmers would fol
low the stoppage of this interest.
Yet this self-appointed friend of
the down-trodden farmers says, in
effect, to the city people of Port'
land, "I will save you $1,000,000 in
taxes. Let the farmers fo&ecare of
themselves."
Mr. Pierce is probably reasoning
that if the farmers cannot pay irri
gation bond interest now they never
can pay it. In normal agricultural
times his reasoning would be sound,
but any farmer in the state knows it
is false reasoning now. It will mean
disaster to thousands of farmers in
Oregon. And it will also mean
added tax burden upon other farmers
and rural business men.
"Don't pay any attention to what
he is saying. He is alright," said a
capitalistic friend of Mr. Pierce to
me after meeting at Cairo last Fri
day. I am beginning to think this
friend knows Mr. Pierce better than
his farmer friends know him.

Exhaustive tests of practically
every variety of farm product grown
in Malheur county for the purpose
of perfecting possible varieties bet
ter adapted to the soil and climate
of this district will be done next
year by County Agent L. R. Breith-
aupt, according 'to his annual report
which was presented to the farm
bureau meeting at Cairo last Friday.
The plans for this work outline hun
dreds of tests of varieties of grains,
hay and other agricultural and live
stock products. These tests are out
lined in the following extract from
the report:
"Complete tests of 89 varieties of
winter wheat and two varieties of

fruit production and the eradication
of coddling moth, and various other
farm activitiei which have been
helped in the past by this office.
Mr. Breithaupt' . report covered
the work of hi department for the
past two year and, in the opinion
of many member of the farm bu
reau, showed valuable work for ag
ricultural development of the coun
ty. The report attributed credit to
whatever has' been accomplished to
the farm bureau, the county court,
newspaper of the county, and the
commercial, parent - teacher and
other organization within the
county that have assisted.
"The work i essentially educa
tional," continued the report, "con
ducted by special method under un
usual circumstances, and for this
reason it is exceedingly difficult to
measure the results in term of cash
value immediately accruing to the
county because of it. !t is far more
difficult to estimate the ultinvite
economic benefit. However, u'fi.

$4000 WORTH.
When the county built the Adrian
Owyhee section of the Nyssa-Jordan
Valley market road it did damages
to property owned' by W. E. Lees of
Ontario to the tune of $4000, ac
cording tg a complaint filed in the
circuit court of Malheur county this
week by the plaintiff's attorney.
Damages to that amount are atked
of the county to appease the plain
tiff of the Injury he alleges he sus
tained. The lan din question is along the
bank of the Owyhee river and a
deep fill was placed across it for
the road. According to District At

Mrs. Crosby and daughter of Rome

and has been carried on until it is
entimated that many thousands of
additional dollars have found their
way into the pocket of Malheur
county farmer in the two years.
"The exact amount of additional
cash which ha been received by the
farmers of Malheur county because
of this movement is difficult to de
termine accurately because of the
complexity of the problem and the
expense involved in assembling de
pendable data," says Mr. Breithaupt.
"There is no question, however, that
the benefits amount to many thou
sands of dollars. Aside from the
extra cash received by the farmers
there i considerable advantage to
the members in being able to spend
their time on useful work on the
farm, whereas, without such mar
