ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT
FREES COUNTY FROM DEBT
(Continued rfotn Put 1)
iomh wn U.9 mill nnil the um
ruined was $:JS,iKi2.3.". From thin
amount the current exponm- for
rond building and repairing have
leen met and In addition the debt
of fl7,iUKS carried over from hint
year has leen wiped out.
That the linanclnl condition of the
county l above crltlcUm In further
Indicated by the frtct that practically
no IntereHt Is being paid on any
bonded or other Indebtedui. I -ant
year the total amount paid an Inter
est on registered warrants was
fijOU.."!;!. This year, with the remov
al of the Indebted ness.Jnot oyer fL'iM)
will be paid as Interest.
Complete publicity Is given" all ex
penditures made by the county court
under the present methods. IVtalled
monthly statements are published in
both local papers. These give all
bills allowed by the county court
during the preceding months except
the salaries of the county olllclals,
which are fixed by statute It Is
said that the county court has failed
to comply with the law In not puh
Hshlng Heiul-annual statements.
While It Is true that these statements
have not been published, the Inference
drawn therefrom Is unfair. Such
statements would of necessity be
more formal ami much less detailed
and Intelligent than the monthly
statements made under the present
arrangement and would consequent
ly give a less, rather than n greater,
publicity to the expenditures of the
connty court.
The News believes there Is but one
conclusion todrawfrom these figures,
which can be substantiated by refer
ence to the books of the county clerk
and county trensurer. This conclus
ion Is that the county's business, as
conducted uuder the methods now lu
use, Is bringing the desired results ns
found In a Judicious and economical
expenditure of the county funds. He
ports filed by the county clerk and
sheriff covering the first six months
of the present year are on file at the
courthouse and give the above Infor
mation In more detail. The News
falle to see any need for a change In
the administration of the county's
affairs and for that reason advocates
the retention of County .lu.lge Cast
tier In the otllce.

PUBLIC UTILITY ACT OF SPECIAL
INTEREST TO HOOD RIVER COUNTY
The average citizen of Hood River should take a great deal of in
terest in the vote upon the Public Utility Act, known as the
Malarkey Bill. It is really of more advantage to him than any
other community in the State. In the first place, the Act pro
poses to place under control of the State Railway Commission
all street railwaps, electric light and gas plants. Supposing
the average citizen of Hood River wanted to file a complaint
against the Gas Company. All that he would have to do would
be to file a complaint in regard to the rate charge or the ser
vice rendered, or any other feature that came within his rights.
In other words, this commission will perform all the service of
a local commission and have more authority than could
possibly be "granted to any local body. The authority of
City Councils is limited to the wording found in the charter
. granted by the State of Oregon through its legislature. Usu
ally charters are limited in their power, and, generally speak
ing, city councils have no right to regulate the rates charged
by the public utility in operation here. In other words, if a
city council wanted to reduce the price charged for gas or elec
tricity or for anything else, it can only be accomplished through
long litigation, examination by experts, and then possibly not
know whether the true facts have been arrived at. With a
state commission in operation, every statistical fact pertaining
to the public utility will be on file. All of its books will bo
open to inspection and a uniform system of accounting must
be established. This, coupled with the physical valuation
which must be made at a public hearing, gives the citizen an
opportunity to know just what he is getting for his money.
This bill would have been a law a year ago had it not been
held up by a bunch of politicians from Portland who invoked
the referendum.
When marking your ballot see to It that you put
an X before 314 YES.

that your wife or mother is not sufficiently intelli

streets, good or bad schools, honest or dishonest
laws, temperance or intemperance, peace or war,
corrupt or incorruptible legislators. If your wife or
