TO INSPECT BUDGET
Complete Investigation to be
Made of Etti,;t2ted Ex
penditures of Year
COUNTY COURT RAPPED
Committee Reports That Court In
Spite of Numerous Promises Has
Failed to Paint Signs on
County Owned Cars.
An enthusiastic mcet'ng of the
committees of the Don Bias rounty
taxiayers league was holt yraK'r-
day afternoon at the Moose Hall.
hvery committee was represented
and took an active part In the busi
ness part f the meeting.
It was understood that the court
contemplates publishing only the
proposed expenditures ln announc
ing this year's budget and does not
intend to give detailed expenditures,
deficits, etc., as has been previous
ly published for comparison pur
poses. The budget as previously pub
lished gives every person an oppor
tunity to compare the proposed ex
penditures with those of previous
years and to obtain a cdmprehin
slve idea of the county's flnancci.
Without such comparison, however,
it is held that the publication of
the budget would be useless and
that the person interested would not
be able to obtain the data without
a long Inveslgatlon which would
necesMtate a groat deal of time and
expense. The budget should be pub
lished ln full detail the taxpayers
decided, a resolution to that effect
being adopted.
As soon as the budget is punMsn-
ed tho chairman of eacJt commltiee
will call his committee together nnil
w..! prepare reports to be submitted
at the annual meeting whleii will
be held simultaneously with th l;ud-
tet meeting, the date for which will
be set by the couniv court.
Tho committee winch has on fv-
ohi! occasions ,nkd the countv
court to have the words "property
of Douglas County" painted on the
sli!-s of all the county cars, repite.
that the court In spite of Its num
trr4 promises has stfll failed to

CENTRA
AND
SOUTHERN
L
PACIFIC UNMERGER FAVORED
BY UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM
Representatives in Roseburg Declare that Unmerger of Western
Railroads Will Result in Competition Which Will
Develop Western Oregon Resources
That railroad competition and sub
sequent development of Western
Oregon, will result If the Central
I'acKlo and Southern Pacific rail
roads are unmerged. Is tho state
ment made by J. H. O'Nell, travel
ing passenger agent for the Union
Pacific railroad and C. F. Van de
Yvater, district freight and passen
ger agent, who are meeting with
Roseburg citizens In the Interest
cf the Union Pacific railroad and
endeavoring to secure signers for
a petition which will be placed
before the Interstate Commerce coiri
mUsion, stating that the residents
of Western Oregon desire railroad
competition.
Recently the supreme court or
dered the Central and Southern Pa
cific lines unmerged. Prior to the
supreme court's order the two roads
were grouped together ln the group
ing movement authorized by the
government but the supreme court's
decision takes precedent and the
dissolution la now ordered. The mat
ter Is now tietoro the Interstate
Commerce Clmmlsslon for a re
grouping decision and tho Southern
Pacific Is endeavonlng to retain
control of the Central Paciflo while
the Central Paciflo la endeavoring
to separate Itself.
The Union Palcflo 13 endeavoring
to aid the Central Pacific ln this un
merger as this will allow the Union
Pacific to enter Into Western Ore
gon ln competition with the South-
ern Pacific, the Union Pacific repre
sentatives state. .. As.. Ions as the
Southern Paciflo controls the Cell
tral Paolflc it has a complete mon
opoly on all railroad business In
Western Oregon. If on the other
hand tho Central Paciflo la releas
ed from Southern Paciflo control
It becomes a competing road and by
alliance with other big systems, can
compete with the Southern Pacific.
The Central Pacific, if unmerged
from the Southern Pacific will com
plete the Natron cut-off. It Is stat
ed. If this cut-off is completed
It will only mean that the Southern
Pacific traffic will be divided and
that there will be no Improvement
or development, the railroad rep
resentatives say. On the other hand
if the Central Pacific builds this
road and connects up with the
Union Paciflo system, it will be able
to enter Into direct competition and
will thus bring about better condi
tions, Is the claim made.
Wherever competition comes, de
velopment follows, Mr. Van de Wa
ter told tho committees of the Tax
payers league, yesterday' evening.
"When two roads ore forced to
divide the. profits from a territory,
they Immediately begin to expand
and seek new business to take the
place of that lost through the divis
ion. Wcstorn Oregon has a wonder
ful but undeveloped resource In lis
timber. I was astonished to find
the vast body of timber ln Douglas
county, but as yet -there has been
practically no development and
there will not be until there is some
competition to force railroad com
panies to seek expansion of trade.
"We are out in the open In this
fight for the numerger of these rail
roads. We are willing to pay for
everything thnt we receive and are
ready to proceed with development
work as soon as permission la grant
ed. There are several ways open
for development. It Is not always
necessary to construct new rail
roads. Instead of new construction
the railroad companies trade Joint
usaie on their lines and both use
the same trackage. This results ln
Immediate improvements usually
In the form of double trscklng and
Better rail transportation. Each
lallroad recelvi-s credit fur the bus
iness which It brings ln to the malm
lln't and any railroad exl.'mled to I
timber or agricultural sections,
carry business for the road owning!
the spur and the profits In such
cases are not divided. This sys
tem In use In Washington has re-!
soiled in fine double track railroads
and has built up some of the finest
communities lu that slate.
"The Union Pacific is anxious. to
get Into Western Oregon. If the
Southern Pacific Is forced to relln-j
qulsh control of the Central Pacific j
the Union Pacific will be able to
enter Into this t. rtllory. Ve believe
that the resulting competition would
be beneficial not only for the res
idents of the stale and would cause
Immediate development bnl would
also work for the profit of the
railroads. That Is why we are in
Roseburg and why we are openly
working In behalf of the system we
represent."
The unmerger proceedings aro
causing a heated fight throughout
tne state with railroad interests
strongly aligned for both sides. To .
tne average layman the matter pre
sents many technicalities that aro
difficult to understand. Tha railroad
companies, however, are fighting
vigorously on both sides and repre
sentatives or many ol to, large sys
tems are actively ln tha field.
Governor Olcott
Speaks at Oakland
OAKLAND, Nov. 2. (Special to
the News-Hevlew.) Governor Ben
vv. Olcott spoke to a large audience
at the I. O. O. F. hall here at 1.30
this afternoon. Previous to the ad
dress he was entertained at a com
munity luncheon also held la the I.
O. O. F. building. Over fifty people
from Roseburg and Oakland attended
tne luncheon. At the meeting there
were a large number of people pres
ent from out of town districts and a
great deal ot enthusiasm waa shown.
Particular attention waa given tha
governor's statements regarding the
work of the administration In tha
past and future plans. District At
torney George Neuner also made
short talk.
As a result of an accident yester
day evening in which a plckwIck
stage waa crowded off the highway,
Vandran Williams, la to appear be
fore the Juvenile court and a com
plaint has been Issued against M. B.
Hughes, charging him with allowing
a minor to operate his car. Accord
ing to the story told by Traffic Of
ficnr Perkins ln the local Justice
Court. Hughes' son took out his
father's car and after getting cut
on the highway allowed Williams
who It a Juvenile to drive. In aome
ntannei Williams forced tho stage
Into the ditch, the accident result-
Inn in about $100 worth of damage
to the stage. Williams was arrested,
only a few days ago for operating
a car as he Is under the age of ,
16 years. The trafflo officer says
llibt his case will now go Into the
Juvenile court.
Hughes, following bis arrest, ou-
tei 3d a plea of not guilty and has
retained Attorney John T. Long for
his dtfonse, He claims that bis
son, who Is 18 years of ag, took
out tho car and that consequently
I'm law could not held the father
VMt onslble for allowing Williams
to drive. The state on the otlitr
hand claims that he Is the custodian
of the car and consequently respon
tlble for the person who drives It.
The case will probably not be heard
for several days as the district at
torney will be busy with grail Jury
und circuit court.
