'WOOLN COUNTY LEADER, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 12th, 1917.
B. F. JONES WRITES AGAIN
Newport, Oregon,
October 6th, 1917.
Editor of the Leader:
In the spirit of fair play I
trust that you will publish this
article. .
I am always willing to abide
by the majority vote, and so
far as I am concerned had con
sidered the Bonding Issue as
outlined in the Petition, that the
people have just voted upon, was
settled, but true to the policy of
tne reader, which has never had
an opinion o! it's own since the
late Judc J. F. .Stewart sold It,
but since which time it's policy
has bowl to vait until the people
had spoken and then say "I told
you so!" Then you commence
a dirt attach on me.
Anicip other things In your
article you siiy: "The people at
large were not given a voice In
the laying out of thess roads at
all and at the election they re
buked the originator of the
Bcheme by voting the measure
down."
But since you have seen fit to
attack me after the Election, not
having the moral courage to of
fer any objections to the Good
Roads plan, until after it was de
feated, except in the article in
the Leader on the eve of the
election when it could not be
answered, you did print a mis
leading article in which you said
the County officers claimed that
if the Pond Election carried it
was a question whether the
State Highway Commission
would put up the $200,000. This
an echo from the County Judge
to kill the Iionding issue.
The Bonding issue and the
roads proposed to be improved
were discussed through the
press, and at Public Meetings
long prior to the Election, yet,
you did not have the moral cour
age to fight it if it were a bad
thing or to approve it if it were
a good thing, but kept as close
as a mud clam. Your paper is
misnamed, it is not a Leader,
but a slow second, after the
good people have spoken.
The good people at Waldport
did not care a whoop about the
Waldport, Toledo and Ona road.
Some of the Hay View and Ona
people did want this road. Wald
port people told me before and
Toledo. Notwithstanding the
fact, that there had already been
expended on eight miles of this
road from the Agency to Toledo
$100,000.
The people largely, through a
misleading article in the Leader
on the eve of election, inspired
by Judge Miller, and the further
cry of "Aw, its a scheme to take
the County seat from Toledo to
Newport" saw fit to kill the
proposition. The Leader says it
.was a rebuke to the originator
pf the Good Koada plan.- I ac
cept the rebuke in the same good
spirit that the people gave it.
This being their will I humbly
submit, but as a free born Ameri
can citizen, I still claim the right
,to my opinion and will ever as
sert it.
Independence and Dallas in
Polk County fought over the
County seat for 20 years and
every time either town suggest
ed anything for the Good of the
county, some people In the other
town would start the county seat
cry, and the county never pros
pered until the people finally set
tied the county seat question for
all time and built a good stone
Courthouse, after which Polk
County soon became the blue
ribbon county, and the people
all stood together for the up
building if the whole county.
Therefore since people of Toledo
and Waldport have raised tnis
issue let the matter be settled at
the next general election in No
vember 1918. The old Court
house at Toledo will soon have
to be replaced by a new one.
Then the question of County
seat Location will again bob up,
if it is not settled prior to that
time. If after the November
1918 Election Toledo still re
tains the County seat, let a good
permanent rock or brick Court
house be built; if upon the other
hand Newport should land the,
persimmon let such a Court
fairs for the good of the Pub
lic as I see It.
Sincerely yours,
B. F. Jones.

Now since you have again
raised the road question after
the people have settled it by a
large majority and that too be
fore the ink had dried on the bal
lots, pardon me if I ask the
County Judge a few questions
.which I hope he will answer
through the official paper while
Bince the election that what they upon the subject of good roads.
wanted was a main highway t is tnis:
from Newport via Waldport up
the Alsea Hay and Valley to Ben
ton County line.
Siletz people before and since
the Election have told me that
what they wa.it ed was a High
way from the Mouth of the Si
letz River up pas-t the Agency
and out by wav of Falls City to
the Willamette Valley in Polk
County.
Big Elk people told me they
wanted a main highway from
Elk City up Big Elk to" Benton
County line.
Nashville people toid me that
they wanted a main Highway up
the Yaquina liiver over the old
Pioneer road via Summit to Ben
ton County line.
Little Eik people wanted the
main highway up Little Elk, but
said that they would be satisfied
with a main highway no matter
where it was located. They
heartily favored the improve
ments of a main hltrbway wher
ever it lead. The only objections
that any citizen of Toledo has
publicly r.-.iscd prinr to the elec
The County Judge being the
Chief Executive officer of the
County, and residing at the
County seat, and having nothing
to do only to look after the af
fairs or the county, the County
Commissioners residing many
miles east and South of the
County seat, and who onlv visit
the County seat every alterna-
uve nionin or six times a year
wnen tne county Court is in
session transacting a large vol
ume of County business, is the
reason that I direct my ques
tions to the County Judge.
Will the County Judge tell the
people if he knows, what person
al property the County owns, es
pecially in tne way of road ma
chinery and where this road ma
chinery is? Is it in the county
warehouse at Toledo, or if as
it has been said, some of it has
been loaned out for three or four
years and not kept under shelter
but standing exposed to the win
ter storms? And will the coun
ty Judge tell the people whv the
