Taxpayers Discuss
the County Budget
There was a good representation
of taxpayers of the county at the
meeting held Saturday. December
6, for the purpose of discussing the
county budget. Representatives
from all parts of the county were
there with the exception of the
northern end. The main bone of
contention seemed to be in the dis
tribution of the county money
Some thought the money should be-
spent, or the greater part of it,
where it was raised. The judge
took issue with such policy and
claimed that it should be spent
where it was most needed. The
roads and bridges levy was reduced
from 175,000 to 168,000.

The city election December 15 is
stirring up matters political at a
lively pace. There are. no end of
candidates. So far seven men have
registered for councilmen. Last
week A. W. White was the only one
but this week six more have been
added Floyd Rowell, John B.
Shipp, Carey W. Foster, C M. Qk-
ins, Dale Jones and S. L. Cooper-
Chas. L. Roberts is going to make
it a three-cornered fight for the
office of city marshal. Hia oppon
ents are T. L. Coon and T. N. Bal
four.
No new names have been added
to the list of candidates for city
treasurer. Ethel Glaze," L. M.
Bechtell and Joe Girardo will make
the race.'
Mayor Clifton has everything his
own way so far. No other candi
date has registered.
A. R, Bowman is op against Dr.
Hyde in the race for city recorder.
Both have had the needful experi
ence in this line of work. The doc
tor got hia at Scio for a number of
years.
Another matter of first im
portance to Prineviile is the con-'
struction of a sewerage system!
We have been postponing the evil
day from year to year but it is
bound to overtake us. The town
is too large to be without the
proper means of disposing of its
filth. The matter cannot be post
poned much longer. An epidemic
will sweep the community that if
measured in cost of life would be
worth infinitely more than a dozen
sewerage systems. Make it possi
ble for the city to protect itself by
voting to raise the bonded indebted
ness from 6 to 10 per cent. Vote
yes as often as you can.
Will Come Back to
God's Country Again
A letter received this week from
Claude Smith from Ida Grove, Iowa,
shows that the Smiths will not be
satisfied anywhere but in Crook
county, Oregon. They read the
Journal, of course, but failed to re
ceive a few back numbers. Mr.
Smith writes: "If possible, I wish
you would send me the back num-
l-bers fjeVi about August 1st, as we
want to keep track of what is going
on in God's country.' . We expect to
remain in this section until early
spring when we will return to the
West. With kind regards to all
our Crook county friends, I am,
Yours very truly, C.E.Smith."
What Red Cross Seals
Do for the Afflicted
Every Red Cross Christmas Seal that
is sold is a real bullet in the fight
against tuberculosis. These seala last
year helped to tupport thousands of
needy tuberculosis patients and to give
them a chance for life. They provided
for many visiting nurses, whoee hun
dreds of thousands visits brought in-
W. T. Davenport vs. T. E. and
Fred Stroud. Default and judg
ment and order to sell attached
property.
W. R. Gay vs. Grace I. Gay and
B. Struble. Verdict for defendants:
Judgment on verdict.
Mary L. Hunsaker vs. J. H. and
Otto Gray. Defendants to have 30
days to answer.
Redmond Bank of Commerce vs.
E. A. Cleland et al. Confirmation
granted.
Trappers

struction and cheer to numerous
patients. They helped maintain dis
pensaries in scores of citits from the)
Atlantic to tbe Pacific, where thousands
of consumptive patients received free
treatment, aid and advici. They .pro
vided the means to purchase millions of
copies of circulars, pamphlets and other
literature with which the public has
beed educated about tuberculosis. They
have established and helped to main
tain more than 150 open-air schools for
childien who needed open-air treat
ment. These are just a few of the ways
in which the $400,000 received last year
was expended. This year f 1,000,000 is
needed. Surely every one can help by
buying at least ten seals.
