County Judge 1). J. Stewart has
received the following appeal from
Judso X. 0. Wallace of Crook coun
ty who is endeavoriim to provide a
way out of the financial difficulty In
which the county rinds itself. The
letter which Rives some facts regard
ing the matter which will be
placed before the voters of the state
at the next election is as follows:
"Dear Sir:
"There will lie a proposed consti
tutional amendment on the ballot at
the May Primary, which if catrle 1
will permit Crook and Curry coun
ties to refund their warrant indebt
edness by issuing bonds provided the
people of the county wish to take
advantage of it. 1 am appealing In
you as an officer of your county to
assist mo In giving publicity to the
facts stated herein, with a view of
'eeurins a faorahle vote on this
amendment. 1 am sure that you
'an lie of great assistance in inform
ing ttie people lis to our situation,
and the Imperative need of some re
lief. I call your attention to the
following facts with reference to
our situation, all of which I vouch
for as being absolutely conect.
"Prior to 1914, ( rook county was
a vast empire, and embraced what
is now Jeff rson, Deschutes and
Crook counties. January 1, 191f,
Jefferson county was formed from
his territory at a lime when the
county was in delit about Jl.'iO.OOu.
I'nder the law, the mother county
was forced to assume all of the
warrant Indebtedness giving Jeffer
son countv a clean slate and a reve
nue from Its territory for one year
with which to set up In business. Ily
neglecting roads, bridges and other
countv matters, this indebtedness
was reduced In two years to about
$ I DO. UOO. At that time, or in mill.
Deschutes countv was formed and It
again became necessary ur.der the
-ountv division law for the mother
county to assume this indebtedness,
at the same time giving Deschutes
county all of its revenue for the cur
rent year. When Deschutes county
was f irmed. It took from Crook
county 62 per cent of her taxable
lvalues leaving us JlOU.oon in own,
' with 3S per cent of the taxable val-
1 ties of the original county, aoi oniy
i did this happen, but our friends in
the legislature in 1917 passed a lull
I which became a law, which made It
i impossible for Crook county to re
) ceive any of the forest reserve rent
! i.ls for eight or ten years. 1 refer
to chapter 2fi9 of the Laws of 1917.
i "Since this lust division, we have
been forced to abide by the 6 per
cent limitation and for this reason
wn cannot lew taxes sufficient to
nav the running expenses and even
Interest on our indebtedness. I'nder
the present law It is simply Impos
sible for any set of men to so handle
our affairs as to maintain our coun
ty government and pav off these
warrants. We are now paying 6 per
cent interest on these warrants and
thev are discounted a least D per
cent by the batiks and this discount
is, of course, made up by increased
prices of labor and materials fur
nished the county. You might say.
Vhv not vote an excess levy and
retire these warrants?" nut you

In the Spring Time
Any fool knows enough to carry
an umbrella when it rains, but
uie wise man is
ne who critics
one when it is
only cloudy.
Any man will
send for a doctor
when he gets
bedfast, but the
wiser one is he
who adopts
proper measures
before his ills
become seriou.
During a hard
winter or the following spring one
feels run-down, tired out, weak
and nervous. Probably you have
suffered from a cold, the Crip or
flu, which has left you thin, weak
and pale. This is the time to put
your system in order. It is time
for house-cleaning.
A good, old-fashioned alterative
and temperance tonic is one made
of wild roots and barks, without
the use of alcohol, and called Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
in Uiblet or liquid form. This is
nature's tonic, which restores the
tone of the stomach, activity of
the liver and steadiness to the
nerves, strengthening the whole
system. First put up by Dr. Pierce
over 50 years ago, now procurable
at any drue store; or send 10 cents
to Dr. Pierce's InvaliJs' Hotel,
Huffulo, N. Y., for trial package.
must not lose sight of the fact that
we have a t.'i.uoO.OOO tax roll and
than an extra levy of f 1 Oil. UOO at
uny one time would be ruinous, if we
stretch Ihe matter over a period of
years, we would be forced to hold
an election every year. This would
not only be very expensive, but
would tuke a long time to pul us on
our feet. This Indebtedness of ours
is not a voluntary Indebtedness,
growing out of acts of reckless offi
cials, but has bev-n forced upon us
iiy the operation of law. and we oi
('rook countv feel thai the people ul I
ti .hnnld tkp -.fTicteiit . I
. , ,,.. ,i ,, n
wav out of our difficulty.
"This amendment, if carried, will
permit the question of vntinK bonds
to take up these warrants lo be sub
mitted at the November, 11'0, elec
tion. If approved by the people or
Ihe county a serial bond can be sidd
cn a five-twenty basis. We can per
haps sell these bonds for li 6 per
rent and not exceeding 6 per rent,
i'lid even at the higher rate of in
terest, a saving can be had of not
less than 5 per cent per nnnum. In
this way a levy can bo made every
year to pay interest and create a
slnklnk fund, put us on a cash bals
and then if we do not remain out of
debt. It will be our own fault. Our
lotiil banker are burdened with
these warrants, and unless we ran
have some relief from this h",e
as county Judge of the county, I will
lie forced to throw up my nanos.
"I will appreciate verv much hav
ing you Rive some publicity to the
thoughts embraced In this letler. The
bill submitting this proposition to
the people of the state was a creature
of mv mind evolved In trying to
rca"h some solution for our present
lonernto situation. It la not a
s-hemn of any bonding house,
neither does It rontemplate evading
inv law or ronstltutional provision
There Is a situation staring us In the
face from which some relief must
bo had. and there la none in slrht
other than this amendment. Afier
the approval of the amendment It
will be up to the people of Crook
countv. bv their votes, whether or
not we will act upon It I am sur
that our people, as a whole, realis
ing the siuttlon as they do. will ap
preciate a favorable vole by vour
orgcnlation on iiieviinin'Ti "

that such a race would draw Hn ex
