Editor News Record: In regard to
the article published recently In the
News Record under the head "Keep
the County Out of Debt" I have teen
urged to make reply, and after a perus
al of the article I find ample scope for
ttiiimadvernlon. Many of the state
ments (or rather misstatements) made
are so erroneous as to almost lead us to
believe that the author's veracity is
questionable, or is heunder the delu
sion that the taxpayers of the county
are a lot of numskulls capable of swal
lowing so much blarney?
After such a tax levy I agree with
the writer that most of the jurors and
witnesses will depend on the fees re
ceived to pay their expenses. But
further on he says money was more
plentiful this year; then why should
he depend on the fees? Is It because
after paying his tax be had nothing
left?
But. why the writer should have the
audacity to say that a Wallowa county
warrant would be a beggar on the mar
ket and that you could not get 75 cents
on the dollar, Is more than I can com
prehend (and with our great natural
resources it Is an Injustice to the oouu
tv) when It was comitaratlvelv easy to
find a purchaser at a two per ce t dis
count. We are alxo informed that
prices were higher than ever before.
Wa would like to know when cattle
(one of our chief assets) were ever any
lower tnan last year.
Evidently the article Is got up to
mislead the people Into believing that
the levy was jostinable. Could not
any court have got the county out of
debt by such a levy? But why the
court should do it just at a time wneu
capital was beginning to flow Into the
county, and just before thousands 01
acres of government lands were becom
ing assessable and passing into the
bands of large lumber companies, we
cannot understand. Would It not
have been wise to have waited and had
the railroad and these companies help
us out They are the only ones who
like singing,- "Glory be to the
that flowed out never to return; did
not the local banks buy the warrants
and, reoeive the interest? It never
flowed out at all, and ninny warrants
were never presented for payment.
On these the county paid no interest,
but not so the poor tax payer; he had
to borrow at 10 per cent interest to pay
his tax, while the count only paid 6
percent. Now which is best ;ill the
tax payers to join in paying the 6 or
ttie individual to pay lu? And for the
writer to make such a statement as,
"If the public are always ilrni in their
demands for public economy we will
always have-a low tax," with the
present administration at the helm
and knowing how flagrantly they set
aside the public demand for economy
(not so long ago) doesn't that jar you?
Yes, yes, we'll till the flowing bowl
(with water of course) for two reasons,
one, because the county went dry, the
other because if it had not, after pay
ing our tax we had nothing left with
which to get anything stronger.
Yours pro bono publico,
Matt H. Stables.
