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.

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.
