WHY HE ATTACK

Admits That Construction of Road
Is Desirable, but Says Such
an Appropriation Is
Unlawful.

PILFERING OF TREASURY

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

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.
