Merits 1'ioposed Xesmltli County SupM)i-t of Voters. Tho i)co)lc of Southern Lnno ami Northern Douglns counties, number Jiib moro tlmn eight thousand souls, feeling that they nro qualified to economically ndmlnlstcr their own affairs from a governmental stand point, have Initiated n bill for tho crentlon of a now county to be known as N'csmlth, In honor of James Willis Ncsmlth, a pioneer whose name shines In tho flrmnment of UlUBtrlotiB Orogonlnns. Tho pro posed county would contain 1940 cquaro miles, of which 1-172 would como from Lane and 1CS from 'Doug las, leaving tho former 29 08 square miles and tho latter 4393 squaro miles, n sufficient area from which to still form several counties the fllzo of Multnomali, Hood River, Co lumbia and Washington. Tho total nsscsscd valuation of Ncsmlth county -would bo 15,309,575, leaving Lnno $18,000,000 and Douglas over $27, 000,000. Tho country within the proposed now county Is capable or maintaining an organization that would, wo believe, bo to tho best In Icrests of the peoplo embraced with in tho territory, and nt the Bnmc time not doprlvo nny other peoplo affected of their rights, nor Increase their burdens, nor work them any Injury whatsoever, Owing to tho largo area of tho two old counties nffected tunny rcsldcntj nro put to great Inconvenience, delay and expense in transacting business nt the county scnts. To compel res idents to travel from twenty to sixty miles over hnd roads In order to pay their taxes, servo on Juries, or as witnesses, Is to Inflict a hardship jfMk JL.I t 4bbbbbbbb COIj. JAMES WILLIS XEHMITII. HIuMi-Ioiim Oregon Inn whose name tho proposed county vtould iteriietiinto. upon thorn; yot It Is moro a matter of self government for which tho progressive people of this proposed county nro contending. Taxation and repiesontatlon' should go hand In hand, but not so under tho pres ent conditions. For Instance, Cot togo Qrovo, the second city In size and Importance In Lane county, has never been permitted to name a Judge, and It has been n quarter cen tury since It hnd representation on tho county board of commissioners; whllo tho territory taken from Doug lns county has never hnd either a county Judge or conmlesloncr. The 'rcprcscntntUes In the stato legis lature are from tho county scati Eugene mid Hoscburg thus leaving a largo tax-contributing community without voice In cither locnl or state affairs. 'Ninety-two per cent of tho residents within tho proposed Ncs mlth county signed tho petition, praying tho voters of Oregon to grant them self-government by tho creation of tho new county, while ono particular section Immediately mitsldo tho original boundary lines petitioned tho Ncsmlth committee for ndmlBslon to tho nor- county, pre ferring to tnko chances with tho now rntner to remain wuu mo oiu. This shows conclusively that tho sen timent of tho taxpayors of tho pro posed new county nro practically unanimous In favor of division. Tho boundary linos of Ncsmlth hnvo been drawn In strict ndherenco to tho topography of tho country, Its natural watersheds having been considered In every particular. Tho peoplo of tho now county hnvo no deslro to da anything that would re sult detrimentally to clthor of tho old counties. Jointly Lauo and Douglns hnvo 5,S00,000 acres, or moro than tho entire Willamette valley, and of this vast area, only n million and n quarter are asked by tho now county. Tho peoplo within tho territory of proposed Xcsntlth county nro pre senting their enso to tho voters of- tho stato without 'tho slightest mis representation, pinning their faith In the voters to mipport their conten tion that looal uUlf-govcrumont Ih tho Ideal form of government; that tho nearer 'homo government Is cheaper; that laws are moro effec tually enforced; that greater dovol npment of country Is possible; that better highways nro attalnnblo; that Its citizens are couvontonced by nenrnesH to tho sent of government; that taxation and representation should go hand In hunll, nnd that by tho creation of NesmKh county the efforts of a Inrgo nnd progres sive community would bo rondored nioro cffectlvo In Increasing tho pop ulation, dovoloplng tho resources and enhancing tho greatness of Oregon.
