In 1908 it was again on the ballot and it was beaten by a majority of 21649. Not vltliatandiing the j& repeated defeats, more decisive at each election, the same measure is again on the bal lot this year. The. ballot tittle Is) mis leading and indicates a proposal to give votes to taxpaying women only, but the measure to be voted on is the same proposition which the peo ple have so often and so recently condemned. It should be voted down this year by an Increased majority, especially because of the fraud un dertaken to be perpetrated on the people by the ueej of a false and mis leading title on the ballot.

(Albany Herald) There are no less than eight appli cations for the creation of new coun ties to be voted upon by the people ol Oregon at this fall's election. Though there may be one or more of these new county schemes possessing some degree of merit and are prompted by good faith, it would appear that in the main Uy are not entitled to the favorable consideration of the people t large, and as a matter of expedi tion and. good public policy all or them should be defeated. "In the" first place the Herald be lieves that the creation ot a new county Is a matter devolving upon the leglslatuie and should not be submit ted to a vote of the people at largo, who cannot possibly have any intelli gent idea of the demand for such pro posed new counties and are, therefore, in no sense competent to vote upon the measures. What does the average voter of the northeastern part of the state know about the practicability or wisdom of the clamor of the south western portion of the state for the creation of a new county? Certainly, in" the majority of cases, he would not be able to cast an Intelligent vote on the proposition. "The submission to a vote of the people of the whole state of these var ious county division schemes, there fore, would seem highly Impracticable, if not unwise. Moreover, the success of these various division schemes would establish a bad precedent, which might tend to retard the healthy growth and reasonable prosperity of many counties of the state. "There are doubtless counties in Oregon which should be divided into two separate county divisions, but these, the Herald believes, should be taken care of by the legislature and not voted upon by the people of the state at. large, who cannot possibly Judge of the merits or wisdom of the proposed division of a remote section of the state, and in which the voters at large can havo no reasonable inter est . "Many of the county schemes up for consideration this fall are without question Ill-advised and prompted by impure motives, and the Herald Bug gests a negative vote on all county measures as the most practical rem edy for the present county division ep idemic. COUNTY DIVISION Under the present laws in the opin ion of eminent lawyers, counties can only be divided or boundaries changed by the vote of the people. All laws snould be obeyed. Some laws should be appealed or amended. The law creating new counties is un .fair as voters are asked to create new counties where they cannot know the local conditions and might form a new county where four-fifths of the residents of the old county are op posed to It. What do the voters of Clasop know of the needs of Grant, Malheur, Crook, Umatilla, Douglas, Lane, Wash ington, Clackamas and Multnomah. They could vote Just as intelligently for the county officers in these coun ties as for their division or the chang ing of the boundaries. . There is strong opposition to di vision In all the counties mentioned and it would seem to be but justice that these localities should settle their own local differences. You will have the privilege of vot ing for a bill to leave the function or new counties and municipalities to the districts Interestd. As between man and man, would not this plan be the more equitable? The average voter will certainly take this view of it. In all fairness now, will not your conscience and sense of right tell you to vote against all division and vote "Yes X 352," which will relieve you of the task of voting for measures with' which you can not be familiar. STATE PRESS AGAINST IT. "The Nesmlth county boosters, traveling in an automobile, were here this morning. The atmosphere being exceedingly chilly they soon moved on. Our people don't believe In county butchery to further the per sonal ends of a few schemers." Rose burg Review. "If all the yoters of Oregon wbo are opposed to the proposed wholesale formation of new counties vote "No" at the November election, they will all be defeated, but If those opposed merely pass the county propositions up without voting on them at all, they will carry by the "Yes" votes cast for them. This is a fact that it would be well to remember on election day." Eugene Register. "There are seven new counties pro posed, and may be more for us to vote on next November. Don't you think our taxes heavy enough at pres ent without taking on this unneces sary additional expense? Look into this matter before voting time. Echo Echoes. (Paid Advertising.) , INNUMERABLE BILLS CONFUSETHE VOTER Numerous Divison Measures Would Change State Map Beyond Recognition. "Business men of Oregon will do well to take note of the Innumerable county division bills for the considera tion of the people next fall. Already so many division measures have been tiled with the secretary of state that if half of them are adopted the man of Oregon will be so changed that It will not be recognised even by a na tive son," declares the Pendleton East Oregon I an lu lis issue of July 15. "Furthermore the Indiscriminate creation of new counties caunot fall to Increase taxation. This state can not create ten new counties and pro vide for ten addltonal sets of county officers and hope to get along with present levies. The divlslonists make sssertlons to the contrary. But that is 'campaign talk. That same argu ment was advanced In favor of the creation of Hood River county. Yet E. A. fchlfiler, a Pendleton tailor who owns property In Hood River, found his taxes Increased 61.4 per cent the rirst year of the new county's exist ence. It is the history of every new county thut division brings on increas ed taxation. This is only natural. "Another feature ot these division rights Is the fact that division meas ures are sprung when the people re siding in the proposed new counties do not want division at all. Take for instance the Orchard county scheme. Manifestly the people residing In the greater portion of that proposed coun ty do not want division. Two of the four towns Included In Orchard coun ty are hotly opposed to the division. They are Weston and Athena. Tbey have good reason for being opposed. Division will mean Increased taxation and that business now held by Athena and Weston will be diverted to Walla Walla. Milton people Imagine they will get that business. But they won't. Milton is practically a suburb of Walla Walla and such it will al ways remain. If Orchard county car ries, that business wl'.l be lost to this tate. "The Orchard county measure was drafted in secret by a little clique of Milton business men. It is purely a selfish measure. Representative men living right in Milton and in Free water are opposed to the proposition. In communications ito this paper they have so declared tneraselves. Even the newspapers of Milton and Free wa ter have failed to take up with the proposition. Neither the Freewater Times or the Milton Eagle advocates the division measure editorially and this fact has caused much comment The Weston Leader and the Athena Press have declared themselves as utterly opposed to division. LET POPULATION INCREASE. Counties Where Division Agitated toe Sparsely 8ettled. The Prlnevllle Review sizes up the situation wisely when it says that the population In most of the counties where county division Is being agi tated is too small and scattering. Many of the districts are too sparsely settled to permit the scheme. Resi dents and property owners would be taxed so high that It would mean ruin to a large number. Walt until the counties have more people and the list of taxabies warrant county division, advises the Review as follows: "It would be unwise to make any sort of division of Crook County just now. It is too thinly settled yet In due course of time, when the parent county shall have attained 25,000 or 30,000 and the list of taxabies war rants It, division will be sure to come; it Is inevitable. But it is not business sanity to divide a county of less than 10,000 souls, and a moment of sober reflection should convince any one of this. When the proper time arrives and a Just county division law Is en acted, the three cities most concern ed, Madras, "Redmond and Bend, all of which have division schemes In mind, can settle the matter between themselves. But so long a the whole state is required to vote upon a mat ter with which only a small part is even remoie'y concerned, we would advise electors to vote an emphatic NO, not only on the Deschutes propo sition, but every other county bill." NESMITH COUNTY. The idea of creating Nesmlth coun ty is commendable, but is the manner or creating it commendable. It Is hoped that In time a Nesmlth county wi.l be formed, but it should be done In a way that would be approved by blm if he were with us today. Just as well ask the people of Pottiand to vote for the county officers ot Lane county, or the city officers of Eugene, as to vote to create Nesmlth county ind this applies as well to aU the pro posed new counties.
