It muy lc uld that not until lately haa there been much hard, serious talKing upon the subject und now r.oce with fixed opinions hesltat" o.i.i'sh th.-in. The whole matter was formally broumil to a head early this wnk wh'-n the petition for the levy ma! a remonstrance were slmultun eoi:sIy presi-nted to the county court. In their objections to the projiosed li-.y the rcmonitrunts set forth two sH.(iflc reisons for their contention 1'lin, that the tax would be too bur den some, that the taxpayers could not aff. r I thi outlay Involved; second that sui h a levy would be Illegal. Nutuially, there Is something under the surfuce of these objections and with a view of ascertulnlng their ex act nature and giving thim to the pub'le, an Astorlun reporter sought aid obtained several Interviews yes. (eriluy 'Vlih gentlemen whose names appear as remonstiants. Among these was Attorney ( bus. 11. Page who, by tin: way, Is one of the heaviest Indl vbliiul tux-payers li. the county. Mr. Tage did not hesitate to express hlia- se( villi emphasis, although, he said, be held no bitterness of feeling in the mutter. "It st; Ikes me limply us a pro;) sltlon to take part of my property lu tun uway from me and plunting It InU lln; faHtii--s4es of a stinhtly p..pu li.ted ecuriiry where II inn do com pui .(lively no one any kood," said Mr. l'a'ji'. "These i-roposod roads will tap parln of the country in which very few people live i' nd I am lutislUd that li. i goo I thut would result to ih farmers n.d ourselves in town would full far short from Justifying eveu one-half of the expense necessary to bull I lie.! roads. If these people d. she more roads no objection could be rals ed to the for.nutlon .'t road districts of their ou to Improve to their heart's conielit. If lie need a new street in town or require Improvements on the old ones w e B' down into our p .ckets and pay for It. We do not go Into the country and ask aid from the farmers to do It. Why should we do s , the prop osltloti would be no worse upon its face tlian for them to come into town und usk city tux-payers to go out and build roads for them, as they are now doing. "Practically, the tux-payers of the city of Astoria pay the running ex. penses of the county the burden Is borne b) us here in town. Under this condition i f affairs, cur taxes have grown higher und higher while our resources to pay have grown gradually less. What, then, could be the Induce ment to outside capital to seek Invest ment here were ve to add an addi initial J.", a year tax on $1000 valuation? These are matters to be considered and considered earnestly. "Some lime ago we made a special lew tor the purpose of building; I bridge at a cost of 120,000. We in cieased our taxes materially In doing this work, and what good have we deihed from It? Nearly everyone of the people at the other end, who were so anxious that the bridge should be built, now come to town by boat, I'll venture to say there is not $J0O worm of staff a year, exclusive of horses ar.d vehicles, coming over that bridge Into towi . And this Is the Interest we got on an outlay of $20,000! "It will be about the same with the proposed roads. They would tap parts of the county In which but little Is raised. It Is true they raise some hops, potatoes and miscellaneous farm pro- duels, but whut would that amount to to this city compared to the enor mous cost of the work of construction and maintenance? It may sound a trille frivolous, but I ually believe it would be much cheaper for us in the end were they to pay pensions to these scattered ranchers or buy their; crops and let them remain upon the ground, for all the good we could de rive firm their business. However, were Astirlana not ouligea to stand tho blunt of the expense, there could be no objection to building these roads. Hut we would have to stand it and we can't afford It. I nm not ready to divide what I possess with the people living in tho country, whom it would do no good if I. did. "I repeat that there is no bitterness of feeling in the matter. It Is purely ( a business proposition on our part and we will oppose the levy." Other remonstrants declined to be quoted In the matter but expressed themselves freely In opposition to the proposed levy, repeating substantially tho reasons aet forth by Mr. Page. All WHAT WE SAY WE'LL DO WE DO DO THE LIGHTEST STORE TO SEE IN THE LARGEST STOCK TO PICK FROM (9 Highly Satisfactory OUR CLEARANCE SALE Is satisfactory to our customers and to us. TO US.... Because we eell lota of goods. Because It pleases our customers. TO OUR CUSTOMERS Because our low prices are money savers. Because our stock consists of good honest goods. Herman Wise RELIABLE MEN'S AND BOYS OUTFITTER unite In ths statement that the end cannot possibly justify the means thin those who will be most heavily taxed will derl.-e the least good from the proposed enterprise. It is known that all reasonable pressure will be brought to bear to de feat the measure. Many of the remon strants smte, however, that they have already played their trumps In the presentation to the court if their for mal written objections. It Is with reference to the alleged Illegality of the undertaking that a majority of the opponents base their greatest hopes. PIncc opposition to the rroposed levy has crystalized into action, supported by a fix?d line of procedure, (he friends of the measure are coming more strongly into evidence, w un reference to the remonstrance they de dare that the signers of the instru ment represent only a small rortlon of the taxable property In the city and thct a majority of merchants and owneis of real estate are In favor of the extra tax. In reply to the rgu nient that the city would be taxed for the benefit of the country It Is con tended that, while this Is true to some extent, it Is more clearly a case of the countrv being taxed for the benefit of the city. ..FISHER'S OPERA HOUSE..
