Union Admits Away Its
..... , Vi'.W'i ;v V- ' ' ...
Claim For County
Seat.
" To the Editor.' J , . "
The Scout and the Republican
of Union publish a communica
tion from which I make the
following extract: "That La
Grande is more convenient to a
greater number of people of the
county than Union may be
conceded.'- Here .is an admiss
ion made by a communication
published , tnis week (' in both
papers published at Union, and
it admits that ; La Grande is a
more convenient place for most
of the people than Union is.
This admits away all claim that
a town wanting the county' seat
should be expected to put forth.
Why should ' Union be tbe
county seat in the face of the
admitted fact that La Grande is
more convenient to most people?
What "claim has Union?
Absolutely none, after they
admit that it more conveniest to
most people to go to La Grande.
This fact is admitted by Union,
because it is known to be so by
everybody. When .they admit
that it is mm e convenient for
most people to go to La Grande,
they, impliedly concede that
'ocatiug the county seat at La
Grande would save a great
amount both in money and time
to the tax payers and others. It
osts more to tbe vast majority
to go to Union than to La
Grande. The saving in the item
of mileage for jurors and wit
nesses in criminal and civil cases
is a large item The saving iu
time iu going to and returning
from the county seat is an other
large item to be considered.
But the only plea that Union
attempts to" make is that the
county will have to build a court
house nt a large expense right
away.if a change is made, but
this is a false plea. , Union took
a case to the Supreme Court last
fall and obtainei a decision of
the : Supreme Court which
establishes the fact beyond any
question, that Union County
cannot build : a cour bouse
until tbe county is out or debt.
This is au established fapt. The
county seems to : be : largely
indebt and hence the county
cannot build a court bouse for
many'' years."'" "This ' ought 'to
convince any, reasonable mau
that the county will not and
cannot build r a cturt house.
Now, the people of La Grande
intend to provide . a place for
holding court, a courthouse, free
of charge to the county and are
proceeding with all reasonable
speed to do so. Every reason
aMe man that does not know
that this is the case can easily
1 1 form li nself by making a
little effort. Then tbe people
are not to be taxed for a court
house for many years. Every
one who has been about - Union
knows that the present court
house is wholly inadequate for
the needs of , the county, and
that the oounty has to rent
rooms away from the court house
for ;' the grand jury and otber
juries. They know, also, that
the offices are too small and
that tbe building is small and in
poor condition. Practically, tbe
county has no sufficient court
house at Union. The people can
have one free of charge, excepts
ihg a nominal, rent, by voting
for La Grande.V By voting for
La Grande a vast majority will
be benefited in time and expense
and accommodations for rooms
and offices, etc., will cost the
oounty nothing, t
Reason, . argument and
common '- sense say that La
Grande is the place to elect for
the county seat. " There is no
mistake about it.' Subscribes
. The republican ' candidate for
superintendent of schools.: Mr
R. A. Wilkennon, has resided in
Union county Since .11890. He
attended ";: normal college at
Logansport, Indiana, . and has
been a school teacher since 18851
He comes before' the .people well
equipped for, the duties of, the
office to which he aspires, Mr.
Wilkenson's, home place is li
miles from La Grande. ' He has
not held a office before this time,
and if elected will be a credit to
the .office ;pf " superintendent of
schools. Union Republican.;
