This is the leading plea advanced by , the CitUsena of the pro posed county of btis,vupon which, the state will vote 'on November S. : 'r .-1 i. i ptlsTt-ounty, If created, will be taken from three other ' counties, Malheur, Harney, and Grant. The proportions subtracted from each"-are made ap parent af'a glanceby the map published herewith. .... . ..' ; la sauare miles, Malheur would lose 1180 square miles , and Harney 1080. Grant would lose . 612 . aauare miles. Grant Is also affected by the proposed new county of Clark, ; which has been heretofore discussed in these columns, but the territory proposed to be added to Otis from Grant-Is In a lorest re serve and cuts' little figure In popula tion or taxable wealth. Counties 'of -Ore Blae, Mialheur. and Hftrne are the largest counties In the state and" would remain so even after the creation of Otis. The lines, of the new county would pass about SO miles from Burns, the county seat of Harney, and 45 miles from Vale, county, seat of Malheur. j-fr-- - 'I'roponents of the new county point to the topography of the country as the great argument In' their favor. They say thay are surrounded by mountains and how have to cross high"" ranges to reach the county seats Drewsey, the proposed county ecatj 1s near the center of the proposed new county and is reached by following the water courses, making It easy of access. Frotest From Juaturs, A This claim Is flatly denied by, oppo nents of annexation. . They say the proposed new county is not hemmed lrt by mountains, and point to the water grade from Drewsey, Juntura and River side points to Vale, .Resolutions of the Juntura' commercial club opposing the new county say: '., "This proposed county Is composed of rocky ranges, and a few small valleys are narrow strips of land lying between rocky ranges, and Incapable of being thickly populated. .Our taxes will be greatly enhanced on account " of im mense, wagon road mileage to be main tained, county offices , to be supported, new buildings to be erected and other necessary expenses." The Juntura people assert Juntura has 10 per cent of the population and over 8200,000, or more than one-seventh of the taxable property of the new county.and Is solidly opposed to going into the new county. The Otis county plan 1s attacked as a move intended to benefit office seekers at Drewsey." , Blversidl Also' Opposed. The Riverside commercial club, in adopting resolutions against the new county, asserts Riverside holds 10 per cent of the population and over one sixth of the wealth of the proposed county and declares: "More than one half of the popula tion and wealth, of the said new county comes from Malheur, and all of every section of Malheur county oppose the new county. Drewsey Is a territory where the great part of the criminal law suits of Harney county arise and Is the only section of the' proposed new cdunty favoring this jief county move ment" : ' , " .' Eeulah- and Ironside are two other communities in Malheur county deolared auired to attend courv wants An record-fta-ba-sUoBgly-reppesed 4o the plan te vui mem in me new county., ironsiae, said; to Include about. 100 voters and 8200,000 in taxable property, is at the head of Willow creek, a tributary of the Malheur river." which Joins the Mal heur at Vale. Residents there now have a down grade to their county seat. It is pointed out, but would have great dlf f leultyln reaching :. Drewssy. Three Other., Objeotors. v, "Resolutions against Otis county have been' adopted by commercial organiza tions at Ontario, Nyssa and Vale. These arguments may be summed Up as fol lower . That the new county wnl have o assume prfof the indebtedness of the counties from whose territory it is to be taken; that 's, court hOueerfchit;jall wm nave to be erected;( that a year will have to elapse before a t tax can , be levied and collected: that the' countv will be in debt at least llOff.ogO. within me iirst-year; mat every bill will have to be paid out in warrants with nd prospects, of such warrants being paid for in 18 or 20 years, which will cause the new county to ,pay a premium of 80 r-40 per cent on everything pur chased; that the village of Drewsey, which aspires to become a county seat, will be 18 tnilea from the proposed rail road and that In all probability a county seat fight would result in a few years; that tbe territory to be taken rh is composed of , large farm's, whose own ers are all opposed to the creation and that there can be little future develop ment .beoause practically all he land ueceptible of cultivation is now in prl ate ownership of cattle and sheepmen. Hlfffc Stats of Taxation. , County Clerk B. W. Mulkey of Mal leur county, who has been connected with that office over 10 years, says he la acquainted with all the Malheur taxpayers living in I the part of the county proposed to be cut off, and has yet to hear of one who wants , to go Into the new county. He estimates that there would be only 8500,000 worth of taxable - property In the new 'county, which would necessitate a high- tax rate to maintain a county government He estimates the voting population of the new county at 880. v . , , .the bill before the voters provide for permanent location of the county seat by voters of the new county at the first regular election following its creation. The bill provides for tran scription of the . records affecting real estate from Harney, Malheur and Grant, and for the adjustment of financial re lations by three boards, each of them to deal with territory now embraced in the old counties. . . ' In adjusting finances between Harney and Otis the county Judge of those counties and J. h. Sltz of Drewsey are named as the members of the board. As between Malheur and Otis, the board Is to consist of the county Judges and J. U, Hoffman of Juntura. The county Judge of Grant and Otis and J.' H. Anderson of Van are named to com pose the third board. Salary of the sheriff is' fixed at 81800, county clerk 81000, assessor 8500. coanty Judge 8400.' treasurer and school superintendent . 8300 eaoh, and commissioners 83 perdlera.
