A QUESTION OF COST.
After all the whole question of
the permanent location of a county
seat hinges upon the question of
cost and expense. This is the basic
principal of the correct locations of
the seats of counties for the trans
uuliuu of luirli business. It is the
principle and the fact that exists
not only during the heat of a county
seat fight, but will continue to exist
as long as a county has a corporate
existence. It is true that this fact
and the principle with it are some
times lost sight of and sometimes
clouded during the discussion inci
dent to the permanent location of a
county seat. But when the fog has
drifted away that has obscured men's
judgment then it recurs with
redoubled force, and if they have
l)een blinded by partisan feeling, or
by some worse motive, and have
accomplished what should not have
been done, then it is always a mat
ter cf regret.
In the location of a county seat
therefore, the first, and in fact the
most important thing to consider, is
the cost. In speaking of the cost
cf locations of county seats a wide
field is opened. It is not alone the
cost of buying a site and putting up
county buildings thereon. In fact
this is the least part of the cost if
the county seat is not properly
located. There is the long and
perpetual line of costs that must be
incurred by the county month after
month and year after year. The
added costs of mileage and fees soon
amount to more than county buil
dings; the continuous and perpetual
atlded costs of extra fees for wit
nesses and jurors will build a court
house in a very few years. The
untold expenses direct upon the
county in that shape cannot be
enumerated. And then these do
not constitute all the costs. There
is that direct and ever present cost
of additional travel to and from the
county seat by the greater number
( f the people. This is a cost that
must be borne, not for one year, or
1 r live years, but for a period of
time that no man can estimate.
Therefor we say that the only
roai ining 10 ue consuiereu- is a
question of cost. One man might
sty that it don't make any difference
t.i him where the county seat is
located, he only goes there once a
fear to pay his taxes anyway. But
this is not true. It does make a
difference to him. The difference
is bound to lie shown on the very
face of that tax receipt which the
sheriff gives him when he pays his
taxes. If the county seat is off to
one side of the county, and is not
centrally located as concerns its
. population, then that man pays the
difference of the added costs spoken
of alwve whan he pays his other
taxes. These costs must be paid
and they must be paid in taxes.
The man that consoles himself that
he escapes his share of these costs
localise he only goes to the county
scat once a year is entirely mistaken.
Then there is that other class who
say that it is only a matter of self
interest anyway and they are going
to vote to get the "county seat as
close to themselves as possible, even
if it i nnr rtf t1w nrrttvr ti1-nv t.i

county at large. We admit that it j
is a question of self interest, but we,
j deny that this class of men are
J really working for their own self
I interest. It is to the interest cf
every - taxpayer of the county to

it will accommodate the greatest
number of its inhabitants at the
least expense to the county, df'
rectly, and to the people themselves.
The self interest of every 'citlien
and taxpayer of the county should
be the upbuilding of the county as
a whole, and not the upbuilding of
any small part thereof to the detri
ment of the greater portion. To
the citizen and taxpayer it is his
self interest to keep down costs and
taxes to the end that the burden cf
county government may be light.
The self interest that causes a man
to vote to badly or wrongly locate a
county seat is a mistaken self inte r
est. The time is drawing near when
the people of this county will be
called to vote upon this very vital
question. It behooves every citizen
to think well and act wisely on this
matter. No argument is needed as
to the relative merits of the two
candidates for county seat. Out
side of the fact that the one is
already a town of some growth made
by the efforts of its own citizens,
and by its natural superior location,
and the further fact that the other
is merely a boom townsite owned
almost entirely by non-resident
speculators, there is no question as t
to the natural and proper location
of the county seat. The warmest
adherents for West Yaquina freely
admit that to locate the county seat
at Toledo would accommodate the
greater number of the citizens of the

whether by the use of specious j
arguments, promises of pay, the
use of money or other schemes will 1
cause the people of Lincoln county
to load themselves up with a per-
petual burden of costs that must in
the years to come cost them .in !
untold amount of money in the way
of added costs and taxes. Tax
payers and citizens of Lincoln
county, consider this matter well
before the election day rolls around.
The election of a county com
missioner is one that should be
carefully considered by every voter
and taxpayer of the county. The
county commissioners' court is the
bulwark behind which all the
county's interests are entrenched.
They are the direct representatives
of the county in all matters finan
ci'il. In looking after the interests
of the county the court should be so
distributed over the county, to the
end that they may be identified and
conversant with all interests of the
county. The divisions of the
county by its
streams naturally
divides the county into districts.
The large and important area on
the Alsea should have a representa
tion on the county court. The
interests of its roads and bridges,
and its other county interests war
rant and demand that one member
of the county court should come
from that place. There is no
member of the present court from
that section. There is but one
candidate for commissioner from
tuaipari 01 me county. Tnat ucss; iq grow lmpenCCtly;
candidate is Mr. J. R. Barclay, of, and to lose the power of re

Hon. Allen Parker has
filed
petition with County Clerk Jones ,
asking "thatrhis name be placed on j -js
the ballot as an independent candi-1 :j
date for joint representative forj$
Benton and Lincoln counties. His j
petition has considerable oer Jooj-J-j
names, and " has been generally I
signed by everybody to whom it
has been presented, regardless of
politics. This is the outcome of j
the repiesentative' matter spoken of j
in our last issue. The people
this county do not feel that they
have been lairiy treated in tae
matter of a candidate for repre

Messrs. Kern & Church, the les
sees of the Dixon rock quarry at
Elk City, have notified the people
of that place that if they attempt to
rebuild the bridge on the old site
that they will compel them to put
a draw in it. They want the bridge
located about thirty feet further
down the stream in order to give
them more room to operate their
quarry. This change in the' loca
tion of the bridge would necessitate
about fifty feet more bridge, and
would also require much longer
piling at one end of the span.
Charley Miller, the democratic
candidate for sheriff, is making a
ciecirieciiy vigoious canvas, ana is
masing uienas ana votes every
day. Mr, Miller is one of tho--e

confidence in from first acquaint

stronger as the acquaintanceship

convictions, yet is not one ot those
antagonistic fellows. On all ques-

A strong anti-Tongue feeling ex
