Right now Wusco county is 1 ES - 1 ' will. To scape tax increase and uu arbitrary assessment ly an arbi trary asacMor it is only necessary to elect a man who will do his ut most to make equitabU assessments; who will give all an opportunity to examine his books and- who will treat taxpayers as equals and not menials when they call on him. Such a man 1. Will . Doud, who seeks to aupplant Jim Davia In the assessor' office. If honest, capa bility, and above all a square deal for all, la desired, then the tax payers will vote to nominate Mr. Doud at the coming primary elec tion. Consider the two men, the work of the present incumbent, and we are sure the Dufur man will re ceive your endorsement at the poll at the primaries. iWHY NOT INVESTIGATE MORE? Family Stranded A family, driving a cur bearinc .. California liccm, wan stranded In Maupin the latter part of last week. They were without funds and, as their car was needing some parts, were unable to contina on their way home. Mrs. L. B. Kelly was in formed of the predicament of the travelers and headed a subscription liht, which she later circulated among burners men. She raised a few dollars, sufficient to provide food and the needed part for the car, which being fixed allowed the fam ily to proceed on their way. The Maupin Times, $1.50 for a Whole Year. I respectfully solicit your support at the May primaries for the nomination' as Republican Can didate for the office of County Assessor. If elected, I pledge by best efforts to serve the taxpayers of Wasco county efficiently and cour teously. I will welcome ary inquiries regarding my qualification for this office. WILL L. DOUD Dufur, , Oregon Paid Advertisement. j The county court, after a delay ' of several years, finally Investigated in sight of a million dollar tax roll, ;h. cleric's office.

It isn't all state, coun-Lcivej by the clerk aa fee. ty, school, city or any other one tax. Now that the clerk'a office hna It is a combination of all these, and i,cen purged of stain, why not con the increase has been steadily con- tinue the investigation a little fur linued every year.

Why not investigate the Many stories not supported by the Jfhcriffs office and cause a disclo facts have been circulated regarding sure 0f( possibly, other little irregu- this year s tax roll. But it is a tact . ferities. r Candidate For Sheriff I hereby announce myself as a candidate for office of Sheriff of Wasco County, at the Republican Primaries, May 18, 1928. If I am'nominated and elected I will enforce the law and conduct the office in a courteous and economical manner. LEVI CHRISMAN that county discretionary items hnve been increased the full legal limit We have been informed that Mr. Chriatnan should be investigated, each year for a number of years ni if what we have been told la II Paid advertisement J past, and that the time for a change in this policy has most certainly ar rived. If there is no change, Was- ! co county taxpayers can get ready i to dig up a million dollars in the not j distant future. Every taxpayer in Wasco county j should join the newly organized i league r.nd get ready to do part in j the tax reduction program, working I with the tax levying bodies of the ! county. It will require an organized effort to do the work that must be done in this line, for the demands made upon these bodies is bo heavy that public opinion must be back of i them if thoy are to curtail expenses. We wonder how many taxpayers of Wasco county desire, that their taxes be increased from" year to vnr. their nroDertv" aluations ar bitrarily raised, even though no 'improvements have htcn made from true, and we have no doubt our in formants know whereof they speak, there might be some mighty inter esting disclosures made, and some that might' not reflect much credit on the conduct of the office. We are not accusinir Mr. Chrisman of taking fees nothing like that but suggest that the county court go in to the affairg of the eheriff'a office in order that the taxpayers may be enlightened as to just what and how the sheriff is conducting his job. i t ..' -.
