yield for next spring's planting.

:'! . Respectfully,
Bilitor News Record : Among other
things, at this holiday season, our peo
ple should be thankful that Wallowa
county is out of debt.
Soon the OirCUlt court will convene
and with it jurors, witnesses and liti
gants from all parts of the county.
Many of them will travel a lone distance.
at great inconvenience and expense to
themselves, in order that they may
fulfil their duties as citizens. Most of
them depend on paying their expenses
at court from fees received. How
would it fare with them if the county
was in debt as of yoref They could not
get 75 cents on the dollar for their pa
per. A Wallowa county warrant would
be a beggar on the market. It would
be as worthless as a bankable note as
far as demanding ready cash ' is con
cerned. Banks are forced to protect
their cash reserves and are not paying
out money, except where stern necess
ity demands it.
At the approaching term of the coun
ty court thousands of dollars in war
rants will be issued in payments to
Jurors, witnesses, laborers and others
who have rendered services or furnished
supplies for the oonnty. Every one of
these warrants will be worth 100 cents
on the dollar and will be promptly paid
in cash on demand. The holders of
these warrants will not be nut to the
humiliation of hunting a buyer, and
begging like a mendicant, to have .them
cashed at a ruinous discount They can
walk up to the treasurer, with a feeling
of civic pride and independence, and
demand the cash "without defaulter.
tion or discount." True the t-xes were
somewhat higher than usual laet year,
but it was only for once, and money
was more plentiful and prices higher
than ever before. The court was con
vinced that then was the time to nav
off the county debt, and subsequent
events, have more than con timed that
conviction.. Further, it must not be
forgotten that this money has been
kept at home in circulation amontr our
own people. By the incomins of the
taxes rrom the 1907 roll, neatly all of
this money will have been returned to
tne hody of the county. We bare im

turnea to tne channels ot trade In this
county. Time was when a stream of
gofd in the way of discounts and inter
est was flowing from the county never
to return, to satisfy the' demands of
non-resident creditors. Now warrant
are no longer discounted, and the item
of interest has disappeared from our
semi-annual statements. But best of all
at this particular time of money scarcity
and falling prices, the court will be in a
position to make the lowest levy in the
history of the county. While other
counties are staggering along under the
burden - of debt and continued bigh
levies, we will saunter along the road of
prosperity with comparative ease. If
the voters are always firm in their de
mands for nublio economv. mm will
. - rf r ...
always have a low tax levy, be out of
aew, and keep apace of the times with
public Improvements.
So, my friends, Mr. Editor and Mr,
Taxpayer, on this snlandid Thankiwlv,
ine, as we sit down to our turkev and
cranberry sauce, let us fill the flowing
dowi (witn water or course) , and drink
to the future Drosneritv of Wallowa
county ; and let this be our common
sentiment, "Kbit thb Countt Out or
Debt." Yours very truly,
