To the Voters of
rAllf.n the county court on toad matter
Crook County' )(XK1(X)- WM dr,wn bv Mr
iylcy in county warrants iui
As candidate for the office of nine of this money has been ac
county judge I solicit the support (counted for on the record of the
of the voters of Oriok county and
their earnest consideration of the
history of the present adminis
tration of that office and the f.tct
that I am the tirsl and only candi
date in the campaign who stands
(or an absolutely fair and im
partial treatment of all our citi
tens and all parts of the county.
Attention is called to the method
employed by the supporter of
the present administration to se
cure my defeat. How a certain
ring of old-time convention poli
ticians held their supposed recent
meetings with a via to securing
my withdrawal from the campaign
so that a weaker candidate, one
whom Mr. Kllis could easily defeat,
might be placed in the field thus
insuring Mr. Kllis election.
On my refusing to be a party to
a scheme of this kind which is in
contravention to the beet interests
of the ts i pa vers of this county, a
portion of this ring proceeded to
bring out opposing candidates in
order to split the vote that I might
receive in certain localities. A
delegation proceeded to Redmond
and consulted with possible candi-,
dates. Others having a drag on j
the county treasury evidently not
desiring a change in administra
tion used their influence to bring
out a candidate from another
calitywitha view of splitting my j
VOW in mat Vicinity. It seems to I
be a well established opinion that
some of the candidates are thus
favored for the sole purpose of
keeping Mr. Kllis in office for an
other term.
In my addresses throughout the
county I shown the people the ex-
art condition of toe finances of the
county especially with references)
to taxes ana tne road fund and all
matter coming before the county
court during the past three years.
. How on March 5, 1909 the
county court, after abolishing the
office of roadmaster, placed the ex
penditure of the county road funds
in the bands of Mr. Pay ley, a
member of the court. This order
appears on page 293 of tbe court
journal and reads as follows:
Court order of March 5, 1009.
"It being the desire of the majority
of the county court that Commis
sioner R. H. Bayley take general
charge of the expenditure of 50 per
cent of the general road fund as pro-
vtded by statute, and tbe said K. H.
Bayley having evidenced hi willing-
aee to accept aald work. It la here
by ordered that the said R. H. Bay
ley be given general charge, under
tbe Instruction of this court of tbe
direct expenditure of said 50 per cent
of the general road fund of this
county for the current year and that
he be paid the legal fee per day pre
scribed by statute for Crook county
commissioners for bis time actually
and necessarily spent In said work
and also bis necessary Incidental ex
penses, that he shall receive no mile
age for traveling to and from bis
work.
Of course Mr. Bayley being one
of the court together with Mr. Ellis
makes the msjority referred to and j
legislated iuto tbe power of these
men the expenditure of fucds in
which they should be the di.-intcr-e?ted
representatives of the people.
It is noticed that this order
reads for the year TAX' only but
eaid order Las never been rescinded
or extended, yet Mr. lUviey con
tinues to act thereunder to the
present day. No other orJer Las
been entered givine Mr. Bavlev
'
AtlthnritV in tVsaca irttfaea ,arit
one authorising the expenditure1
by him of 1000-!or bridging)
leschutes River at Bend '
Various other bridge and road
work has been b.nHVl he u
Kills and Mr. Bavlev durin. the
past three years involving the ex-;
penuuure oi inousatuis ot dollar
but no record is shown wber any
bids were calied f.r on any of this
work and no account existed in the
courthouse at the date of my last
examination on the records pro
vided for that purpose accounting
far the speciiic use of the thousands
of dollars drawn by members cf
this court from the treasury. In
UK -9 Mr. liayley drew from U
count; lrei;rv $lO'AOj anJ
lu
1910 he drew out 110,800.00. In
1911 out of t49,SVH) paid out by
county. Neither ia there any
record prior to January l, 1912,
showing that any member of the
court has evidenced any interest
in behalf of the people of this
county toward enlightening them
as to what has become of this
money belonging to the people of
Crook county.
I wish to inform the people that
I do not accuse anyone of misap
propriation of any funds but insist
that the records should be so
systematically kept that the people
may know at any time the statu
of the funds of the county and so
that each road district may know
what funds it is entitled to to meet
its needs. Such records do not
now exist in this county.
I also insist that the desire
of the taxpayer should be con
suited when public funds are to be
expended.
Where large construction is to be
done, bids should be called for and
contracts let where it will be more
economically done in that way.
The county records do not reveal
that the court has ever protected
the interests of the people in this
manner during the period covered
by this administration
It ia high time that the citizen
of Crook county should meet the
lo-Situation and demand their richts
j the premises.
Tn referent to tha h eh taxes
demanded of Crook county cilitens
this year, the people should know
that the great increase of this year
is not wholly due to the extra levy
for state purpose a some would
have you believe, but is largely
due to increased lev made by our
own county court
The property yalue hown by
ah 1909 tax rolls on which taxe
were p,j jn 1910 was t7.910.421. 00
,n(J the total levy was 15.5 mill of
levy
which 2.2 mills was levied for road
purposes.
The valuation for 1910 on which
taxes was paid in 1911 was 99,-
199,008.00 and the levy was 16
nulls of which 3.95 mills was levied
for road purposes.
Tbe valuation for 1911 on which
taxes are paid in 1912 is 19,201,463
and the levy is 20 mills of which 1
mill is levied for road purposes.
For tbe year 191 1 tbe state and
county tax levy wac 7.5 mills while
for the year 1912 the county tax
alone (including cruising of timber)
is 9.45 mills being nearly 2 mills
more than the state and county
tax tor the year previous.
This is tbe cause of tbe excessive
taxes for this year.
After depleting tbe county treas
ury of its road fund the levy for
the coming year will be so small
that very little can be accomplished
The road fund for the coming year
will amount to about f0,2tj0, as
against 149,890 for last year.
There are other qualifications of
a candidate for the office of county
j judge, in addition lo ability to
! properly handle the accounts of
! the county, which should receive
i the consideration of voters at this
e.ect;on
The county judge is also
the probate judge and to properly 1
I perform the duties of this office
! should 1 somewhat versed in law
and had experience in handling
i probate matters.
j The county judge thouid reside
I at the couittv seat where he can be
foaod without unnecessary delay.

which on of the Important witnesses
was horse doctor named William.
Tbe doctor waa a small man with a
weak little voice, and the counsel 00
both aides, at well a th court and
Jury, bad great difficulty tn bearing bis
testimony.
Puling cross examination the coun
sel for the plaintiff became exasperat
ed and began to prod and harry the
little man.
"Dr. Williams." he shouted. "If we
are-ever golmr to ret anywhere with
this case you mast pek up so the
court will bear you. Speak op loud
and strong. slr ,
Th small led veterinary tried, but
It waa evidently no use. Whether
from embarrassment or Inability th
sound would not come.
"Well, your honor" began tbe
rounel Indignantly, when Judge Brew
er stopped him with a gesture. Lean
ing over tbe bench be said tn his
kindly tone:
"Mr. Attorney, you most be patient
