Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, MARCH 20th, 1914. THE TWICE-A-WEEK POLK COUNTY OBSERVER THEEE Baking Powder Saves Health and Saves Money and Makes Better Food THE HOME PAPER Gerald Volk, Editor. Entered as second-class matter In the Fostofflce at Dallas, Oregon. Subscription Rateei One Tear 11.60 Six Months 75 Three Month .40 IT LOOKS ROTTEN Something must be "rotten in Den mark" is an ancient saying that may be applied to a seemingly waste of the taxpayer's bard earned money that is being spent to bring back fugitives from justice, that have left the state, according to the report just issued by the Secretary of Stale. The last leg islature appropriated the sum of $8,500 for this purpose. At this writing there has already been spent the sum of .$8,014.00 and at this rate there is bound to be a shortage of over $f,000, and the emergency board will hare to come to the rescue until the shortage is made good by the' next legislature. Multnomah county alone used up $5,689.00 of the amount and the rest is scattered all over Oregon. Going after criminals is a nice little outing for the sheriffs, and rather an, expensive one for the taxpayer. All kinds of charges are made, from $348.00 to $93.65 for going to Call fornia points. It is a credit to our County Sheriff that his charges for bringing Lester E. Stone from Cali fornia was the lowest charge made by any of the sheriffs for the California trip. Something ought to be done to do away with this vast expense. The county court should have a veto .power over the acts of grand juries when an indictment is issued to look over the cose carefully and see if it is worth the powder. The grand jury has to find an indictment if the case is shown worthy, but the County Court ought to be allowed to pass on it and gave the taxpayer useless ex pense. ; . As Mayor he gave the city an hon est, efficient administration, and its financial affairs were conducted on a close, safe, economical basis and at the very lowest expense to the tax payers. As School Director, he always worked for the best of Tesults and for economy in administration, with out impairing the high standard of the Baker City Schools. In our judgment, as Governor, he could and would do the same thing for the State. Dated at Baker City, Oregon, this 7th day of March, 1914. First National Bank of Baker City, By W. M. Pollman, Its President. Citizens' National Bank of Baker City, By F. P. Bodinson, Its President. Baker Loan & Trust Company, By IL A. Sonne, Its Cashier. (Paid Advertisement) The Forest Oiove Press has turn ed its toes to the daisies. Mr. George Curry was an excellent news paper man, and he put over $5,000 dollars in the plant but it was no use the "News Times", the old paper, eould not be downed and the promot ers of the Press are wiser as well as poorer. A fool and his money will soon part, and it is always the slick talker who has no money himself, but imagines that he is a success, that somehow talks the cash out of the other fellow's pocket to give him job. You will find them in every town and how they do it is a question you ask yourself after you have been stung. There is 'method in the madness of lawyers according to the report just issued as to the expense acount of the attorney whose bills will have to be paid by the state of New York in the Thaw ease. Jerome's bill is $25,000 and other lawyers who assisted him have filed bills that makes the total $34,400. HIS RECORD GOOD - Johns Hat Strong Endorsement, He Will Kednca Taxes.
