THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY. MAY 25, 1909. .A M'MAHAN TELLS WHY HE ATTACK CRATER ROAD BILL Admits That Construction of Road Is Desirable, but Says Such an Appropriation Is Unlawful. SAYS HE IS OUT TO STOP PILFERING OF TREASURY Quotes Law in an Attempt to Show Why Bill Cannot Stand Test in Court No Sign of Quitting. SALEM, Or., .May 25. L. II. Mc Muhun, the Salem attorney, writes us follows to the Tribune concerning his proposed attack on the Crater Lake road appropriation: To the Tribune: In answer lo your favor concern ing the Crater Lake road, 1 will ad mit that the construction of the road is desirable and that Crator Lake is one of tho wonders of the world, hi one sense it may bo admitted that this road would benefit all the state, but the fact is the legislature is lim ited by the constitution to approprr nting money lor the necessary ex penses of the government only. How ever desirable the road inav be, it is not a necessity, and it would not ben- ol'it all the peoplo; yet its construc tion would tax all the people. You will probably reply that the tax to each individual would be small, but a multitude of such illegal taxes has made the aggregate burdens very large, nnd if you can illegally tax any part of a man's property, why can you not pursue the principle further 7n 1. 1 illegally take it all) ' When a man accumulates property it is his to expend as he pleases, and when organized society taxes any portion from him it is excusable only upon the ground that it is necessary. However desirable a thing may be, or however much it may he desired by sonic of the people, it is not with in the purview of the faxing power unless it is uecessarv to all the peo ple Counties Must Build Roads. Hy our laws the counties , must build their own roads, and you can not legally tax all the people to build a road for the benefit of one local ity; nnd all assertions that this pro posed road is to benefit all the peo ple are mere subterfuges. The law is against vou. and it should end argument. In the early '00s wo had this same trouble and, as I remember, it, about .$300,000 were illegally appropriated for local roads. They "log-rolled" them through and it was not until the case of Maxwell vs. Tillamook coun ty was decided that the graft was stopped. You folks arc starting anew the old game, and if allowed to j continue next legislature will appro- j printe money for every locality that i cares to "log-roll" for it. j Keep Down Taxes. The way to build up Oregon best is to cut down taxes, tiur last ap propriation amounted to about $3. ."00.000. It is safe to siiy that $2, 000,000 would cover every just ex pense. The people are robbed on every hand, not alone by legislative appropriations, hut hy grafting offi cers and every department of ' our government is organized in the terest of graft by professional office gathered in Cnrson City and intend, j holders, the puhiic service is demor-1 if the body of Charles Kaiser is turn- j SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 25. alized and consequently inefficient, j ed over to them by the wardens of i After abstaining from the use of and no intelligent man has ennfi- the prison, to hold a big powwow liquor for ten years in order to qual denee in the integrity of all our j over the hanged man's remains and ify for the $50,000 left him by his courts.

KLAMATH FALLS IS ON THE BUILD Many New Business Blocks Planned for Main Street Have Lacked Material. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., May 25. Klamath Falls is just on tho eve of one of tho greatest building booms hi its history. Already many of tho property owners havo begun exca vations ami are preparing for the construction of now fire-proof stores and business blocks. A lurge number of residences hnve beeu built this spring and plans are being complet ed for many more dining the summer. 1 he residence building is not confined to any one section of the city, but new homes can bo scon in ovcry di rection. One of the greatest drawbacks to the building on the business streets has been the lack of suitable mate rial. Practically all of theso "build iugs havo herlnfore beeu constructed of brick, with one or two exceptions, where native stone was used. Some of the prospective builders have been holding off with the hopes of being able to secure some other material than brick. 2000 SHRINERS TO VISIT TAC0MA ON SATURDAY TAjI'OMA. Wash., May 25.
