COUNTY OKKICIAI, PAPKIt
WKKK Ytr CONSISTENT?
If you look over the table of votes
cast in Columbia county, as appears
elsewhere In this paper, you can see
how consistent hte ordinary voter Is.
In many precincts registered repub
licans havo voted for Wilson aud then
come back to the republican fold by i
voting for Hawley, who Is opposed to j
many of the president's policies. Mr.
Weatherford, the democratic candi- j
date, pledged himself as being for!
Wilson and ::to uphold Wilson's poll-,
ties." Hawley pledged himself to the1
principles of the republican party.
Now, Mr. Republican, you must ad
mit that you voted for a presiih?nt
obligated to carry on the policies of
the democratic platform and then you
turned around and voted for a con
gressman to oppose the democratic
policies. Were you consistent?
WHKItK OKKtiOX SLIPPI-IO
Krom present returns it seems that
this measure has carried. Many who
voted for the measure were Induced
to do so by the attractive and mis
leading title that appeared on the
ballot. In several localities in tills
county where the granges have gone j
on record as in favor of a county'
agent, which will cost the county
1,500 per year and the state another!
$1,500, the vote was In favor of tax1
limitation, still they ask for more ex-
penses, which means more taxes. The
taxpayer who is going to limit hia
public servants to just how much they!
shall spend should not ask for nny-i
thing which will increase the tax
becauso the amount of taxes here-j
after must bo limited, no matter what '
emergency arises. Tho people of
Oregon havo been tricked Into voting:
for a measure which they really don't
want, and one which will retard the,
development and growth of the state.
COl'XTY At.mcni i HIST
Many of the granges have gone on
record us being in favor of the coun
ty court employing a county ugricul
turiat, or county agent. The cost to
tho county for this agent will be
$1,500 per year, and the stat3 will
duplicate this amount, making the
total cost of the office $3,000 per
year. In many instances our farm
ers need education along the farm
ing lines, and probably a county
e.gent, the graduate of the agricultu
ral college, could be of benefit to
them and tho $3,000 might be money
well expended. On the other hand,
when every one is crying for lower
taxes we might look this proposition
square in the face and ask ourselves
if we will get $3,000 worth. If our
farmers think a county agent will
be of advantago to them and make
Columbia county a better agricultural
county, then the Mist says, by all
means have such agent, but when tax
time comes don't complain if your
taxes are a little higher. All of these
luxuries cost money, unci the tax-!
payer has to stand the gaff.
(Hit SOI.DIhii PKhMDLMrt
Abraham Lincoln was a soldier in
tho Black Hawk war.
Jackson, W. H. Harrison, Tyler,
Taylor und iluchanun were soldiers
in tho war of 1812-1815.
Taylor, Pierce and Grant were sol
dieis In the Mexican war.
lioosevelt was a soldier in the
i-'u.t ii is;h war.
Washington, Moii'-oe und Jackson
were soldiers in the Revolutionary
war.
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur,
I'.enjamin Harrison and McKlnlny
were soldiers In the civil war.
The taxpayer can momentarily lose
sight of the high cost of living ques
tion and turn his attention to the
high taxation he will be subjected to
during the coming year. The city
council state?, It will require 12 to
15 mills for the conduct of the city's
tffairs and tho school board says It
.cannot get along with less than 10
mills. This is pretty good for a
starter.
Tho brewers' amendment failed to
carry, as dl ulso tho "bono dry."
Evidently Oregon In satisfied to let
well enough alone.
f'mie young couples seem to have a
r-rotty toi!h tlmo deciding whether
tliey will raise a baby or maintain u
I'ord. Gary (Ind.) Times.
The return of Huwlcy to congress
la un expression of the confidence of
the voters of his district and ulso a
iccommendatfon ns to his valuable
work for the nation and his otute.
The city council lias set Monday,
November 13, as the time for milk
ing up the city's budget, and tlx the
tax levy for the ensuing year. The
city Is growing, and the expense of
conducting Its affairs Is Increasing.
In all probability a higher rate will
bo levied than in 1910. The council
has Invited the taxpayers of thu city
to bo present and aid them In making
up this budget, and each taxpayer
should take advantago of the in
vitntiou. A tax levy Is a matter of
importance to each taxpayer in the
city, and if ho does not attend the
meeting ho should have no complaint
coming as to the action of the council.
On Tuesday, election day, many
people were compelled to stand in
the street waiting their turns to get
to tho voting place, in precinct No. 2.
If tho weather had not been very
good, they would have been put to
considerable Inconvenience. There's
no excuse for anything like this. The
county court should right now make
somo provision for a voting place
adequate to care for moro than two
people nt ouo time.
Wo aro informed that the Tron
holm road is in very good condition.
This might be true, but a person will
find it awful hard sledding getting
to tho good road. Not much use to
build a good road unless you can get
to It.
