CORVA1JJS, OREGON, JAN. IS, 1897.
PEOPLE GROWING TIRED.
The early days of the legisla
ture do not promise well for the
desired economy. Already by
the action of populists and the
republican followers of the noto
rious Simon, the people of Ore
gon have been unnecessarily tax
edseveral hundred dollars by an
unpardonable delay in the organ
ization of the house.
The senate seems to be anxious
and determined to lop off expense
and Simon is careful that the
odium for any legislative extrav
agance falls on the house: There
are active, wide awake and pub
lic spirited gentlemen on the low
er floor "and they may be able to
guide legislation in the best in-,
terest of the state. . .. But they will
have to do so against the opposi
tion of Simon republicanism and
the moving' spirit of populism.:
Some populists seem disposed to
break the chain of bossism that
has so far bound them, and live
up in a measure ' to their cam
paign pledges.
The people have grown very
tired of the biennial farce "legis
lative economy," as played at
Salem, and in these days when
they keenly feel any additional
burden of taxation, they will be
quick to discern the real offenders
and be ready to punish.
BENTON COUNTY'S DEBT.
County Clerk Watters Reports to the County Court
that Benton's Indebtedness Exceeds Sixty
Seven Thousand Dollars.
The demand of President Mil
ler, that a literary personage be
' placed in charge of the college
printing department, is a unique
a. -confession of the literary deficien
: ; .cy in some members of the fac
"""ttlty. - ;A good printer is a'godd
- speller and comprehends ttre or
dinary rules of grammar, but the
Dossession "of these attainments
can hardly, entitle one to be called
a literary-man, and in an institu
tion of learning,' where the copy
is all furnished by professors, it
would seem that the prime re
quisite of the printer wQuld be
mere mechanical ability. According-
to President Miller, the
printing office should be chaired
with title of "General. Supervi
sor of the Faculty's English.
He is doubtless right in thinking
that such supervision is necessary
but would not the wiser reform be
i ':' the changing: of the faculty ? Mr.
Miller could not have intended
his confession to- apply to all the
faculty, for several of the profess-,-
ors cannot be criticised in this
respect He, however, can speak
authoritatively for one.
Several weeks ago the Gazette informed its readers that the
county debt, including interest on outstanding warrants, was up
wards of $70,000. That the statement of this paper was correct is
verified by the report made by Mr. Watters to the" county court last
Friday. The findings of Mr. Wilson while examining the ex-sheriff's
accounts, unearthed some peculiarities, or rather , jrregularities,
in the county affairs that 'plainly ' evidenced the' fact that Benton
-. , , 1 iUrnn 4n11oi-c itinrp trian wai o-pnerallv SUn-
was in aeut sevciai uiuumuu j
posed. .-These findings, together with" the Gazettte's figures, created
considerable talk about town,' and,- as a:result the court requested
Mr. Watters to .make a complete examination of the records and
report the exact- condjtibnlpf ;affai;;. Aftetrseyera weeks spent in
the examination, Mr. Watters repoYted the totaV' afebt 'Jahua'rV i,
1897, to be $67,203.81. There are some interesting facts brought
out bv the report and it Ts'publfshed below in full. .--

The future success of the re
publican party in Oregon depends
largely upon the course its mem
bers pursue during the present
session of the leeislature. If
thev act wisely the party may
' hone to continue in control of
the state; otherwise we may ex
pect to see populism in charge of
every department.

The above table would show, the exact debt' of Benton county if
the assumed basis of $2,411.30 outstanding warrants of July 1, 1886,
was correct, provided warrants cancelled by .order of the court had
been considered and no warrants had been considered and no warrants
had been twice paid. But it is given here only , lor the purpose ot
more plainly showing how and where the differences between the
clerk's exhibit and my findings occur. As will: be seen, the princi
ple difference is in Ihe iexhibits of 1889-90 and 1890-91, where the
outstanding warrants are given as $44,246.43 and $39,353-6l
in realitv thev were . ;70. ?o and Ssi,7b2.a3, respectively, Dy my
findings. Agaihf referring; to exhibits pf. those years you win. note
that the clerk gave the -county credit tor casn on nana 01 0, 054.30
and $;,Q2Q. 10, respectively, thereby reducing the outstanding war
rants corresooridirie': of. to make it'More Mtt; sfed was. taken tor

clerk and credit aErain taken. The next greatest difference occurs in
the exhibit of July 1, J95 w?,re there is an error.oi 52,000 in sud
traction. The other errors are by incorrectly; enteripg warrants on
retnster. etc.. etc. - -
o ' ' . . . . . . 1 r . 1 -
I then disregarded air ot the above ancrtooK tne scuds 01 au war
rants drawn frow Tulv 1. 1886 to January 1, 1897, and corrected the
register of warrants thereof. I then took all of the ' warrants that
have -been paid since said day, July 1, 1886, and that are now in the
clerk's olhce and compared tnem witn tne register, ana saw tuai iucy
were properly checked thereon.
I hereby find the true debt of Benton county in outstanding war
rants,' January'!, 1897,, to be,as follows: ' "
Warrants issued prior to July 1. 1886, still outstanding $ 61.65
" since July 1,' 1886, and still outstanding--68,684.35
:Tlie-outcome of the investiga
tidn of ex-Sheriff Osburn's books
is a law suit. Several mwrtlis
ago the county court employed JL
J3.; Wilson ;to expert the bo(ks ol('
the retiring sheriff and, after a
couple of .months' work, Mr. Wil
son reported ' that iair apparent
shortage of $8,608.75' was lou nd
in Mr. ; Osburn's accounts. Not
being satisfied with the expert's
findings, Mr. Osburn employed
County Clerk Watters and J. L
Ripley to check over Mr. Wilson's
report, and the result of their
work has not. yet been, made pub
lic. . It has been currently report
ed, however, that Mr. Watters'
report . did, not ,, differ malerrttlly
from that of Mr. Wilson, althongli
Mr. Osbura - claims, that v. whatever
discrepancies, .there may, be be
tween the- two reports- is a matter
to be settled by the courts and
seems certain that a' suit will re
suit in his favor: .
Fronj a member of the county
court, it is learned that at one
time a plan' 01 settlement . was
practically agreed upon, whereby
the court was to appoint an expert
and Mr. Osburn to select another
and together they were, to go over
the books and their" findings were
to be the basis of ari amicable' ad
justment of the matter. In this
way expensive litigation ' would
have been avoide'di'but for $bhie
reason or other, their plan was hot
pertected. . . .
Mr. Wilson -..jhadeT' his rpbrt
some three months; ago and the
court has beeq expecting for some
time to affect ra ' settlement ."'with
Mr.- Osburn,, but he finally con
cluded that a law suit was , the
only, proper course to pursqe in
the premises and. as a result,' the
court at its last meeting made the
following order: . "
"In the matter of claims due
Benton county from D. A; Osburn
it is ordered ny the court that le
gal proceedings be commenced
against D. A. Osburn and : his

Total debt, as per Clerk's records Jan. 1, 1897 $67,203.81
I also find that the treasurer had on hand Jan. 1, 1897, cash to the
amount of $3,056 to pay warrants previously called, thereby practi
cally reducing the above to $64,147.81, of which $939.45 in war
rants is still in "the hands or the clerk uncalled for, leaving an inter-est-bearine;
debt Tan. 1, 1807, of $63,208.36. v
I have not had sufficient time to compare the warrants now in the
clerk's office with the warrants paid as per the treasurer's book, but
as it could not effect the above, I deemed it unnecessary at this time.
In the last list of warrants turned in by the treasurer, I find war
rant No. 667 supposed to have been destroyed. Varrant No.- 8046
drawn in lieu of said; No. 6673 was paid June 9, 1894, butthe.coun
ty will lose nothing as it has an indemnity bond against it.
