As to' the various commissions
which are costing the taxpayers of
the state over $2,000,000, the pruning
knife must go to the hilt. This
amount can be cut in half. For il
lustration: The fish commission was
givon $58,000 and in addition it -received
in fees $395,053.89. With a
business administration of the state
fisheries at least one-half this amount
should have been returned , to tho

that it would seem rather presumptu
ous in me to take Issue with such a
gifted writer as the "profound" J. B.

posing on the good nature of the Ob

is no doubt but what bonds have filled
an important place in the develop
ment or many enterprises ana serv
ed a good purpose in the world, but
good things can be overdone and then
they become detrimental. Water is a
good thing and we cannot very well

J: might be a cha:iee to stick some one
else to pay the bill, they will invest

tion is asked "Would the people of

J1 years. .

Some of them have been forced to

: cause they could not make a living
J ' and pay 40 or more mills on the dollar
in taxes and they had to sell for less
than they could have got during the.
J muddy street period. How many peo-
pie in 'La Grande are more than mak

jfive years to absorb all the present
J I worth of the city of La' Grande, in

horse and knowing that his neighbor
had, on similarly affected, . he
hurried over to his place and asked
tho neighbor what he did for Ms
horse when he was sick. Upon receiv
ing the information he hurried home
and doctored his horse like wise, but
the animal died. Unon mcetinir the
neighbor he said. "I doctored my
.horse as you told me, "but he died".
!"Well the neighbor says "mine did
too". '
J. IB. tells of hauling a load of hay
through the Sam Boothe lane and
wasting more time and horse flesh
than it would take to pay Tiis share
of the interest on the bonds for a
year. That might be very true and he
might not have to waste much' time
or horse flesh either. Lest winter
was an unusually hard one for travel
ing. I took a trip to La Grande with a
JFairly good team and it took me six
hours to go twelve miles and when I
reached the city with a played out
team I found the people trying to dig
out their hard surface streets. Now
in conclusion I want to say that Mr.
Stoddard gave us quite a learned dis
sertation on bonds and finance in gen
eral, but still it would be well to keep
in mind the experiences of the man
with the sick horse.
