$290,433.79 LEVIED FOR COUNTY AND
STATE PURP0SES.N0 PUBLICITY GIVEN
Enterprise Publishes Budget as Fii'd
By Court District Schools De
nied Proper Supervision
In November of last year the
County Court, being force) under the
law, published a proposed budget of
county expenses for the yenr 1920.
On Docember 18, 1019 this budget
was revised and the nmounU so de
termined became the basis of taxa
tion in Malheur County for the pres
ent year. However no report of the
change made, no reason for making
any such changes has ever been is
sued to the people by the Court.
There is very little irregularity a
bout these changes, but when the
taxpayers are asked to dig up $290,
443.79 hard earned coin for the
Court to play with, are they not at
least entitled to know what is going
to be done with their money?
In our campaign to bring the light
of publicity on the affairs of the
Malheur County Court, with the hope
of breaking the spell of secrecy and
mystery that has heretofore been at
tached to the official transactions of
our public servants, the Malheur En
terprise has at considerable expense
prepared the following comparative
table showing in the first column the
amounts and items listed in the
published Budget: and in the second
column the amounts as fixed by the
Court on December 18 and no men-
tion made thereof. In the third col-
umn are listed all increases of the
"Fixed amount.?" over the "published '

MACHINERY IN PLACE
FOR GRINDING FLOUR
The Vole Milling and Elevator
Company have now entirely com
pleted their plant and will be ready
to start grinding grain within thc
next few days, the machinery all
being in place and the wheels have
been turning the last few days to
limber it up and get all in readi
ness for the milling of flours. War
ren Armington, the new mill's man
ager, told of some of the many ob
stacles he hod to surmount in the
construction of this modern plant
and today it stands as another of
the enterprises that Vale from time
to time is to have as the city grows.
The mill has on hand, 31,000 busb

amounts"; while in the fourth column
amounts under the "published a
mounta". The totals arc particularly
interesting.
Without commenting on the other
items changed from the published
budget, we wish to call attention to
one small decrease, which looks to us
like pinch penny meanness. We re
fer to the items under the School
Superintendent's expense. The Sup
erintendent asked for only $350 to
visit the schools in Malheur county,
sixty some odd requiring several
thousand miles of travel to reach
them all, yet the Court reduced this
item to $200.00. However this court
is forcing the country districts to
pay over $16,000 toward the upkeep
of the highschools in the towns,
which may be legal but certainly the
county districts are entitled to some
little consideration. The Court al
lows itself $800.00 traveling expense,
we suppose to enjoy the good? roads
they are planning on building.
If economy is so urgent, why the
necessity of the item for $500.00
special attorney fees? Or inasmuch
as $1000 wass docked from the pub
lished bounty item, it perhaps could
stand an additional $150. loss. Then
there are such questionable items as
"Miscellaneous Expense" and "Tax
Rebates". Also $512.95 was added
10 thc ?';600 for tho uPkccP of thc
"Urio Library, which is no doubt a
worthy cause but surely not more
important than supervision of our
(listrict schools.
