tYSTBM RADICALLY WRONQ.
Division Should bt Dsctdtd by E3h
County.
That tho system now In vogue In
Oregon la radically wrong for the di
vision ot counties, Is the belief ot the
Astoria .Budget, which In Its Issue ot
July 7, aays that It should be left to
the people o( each county themselves
to decide whether or not they want
to create new counties. Tho Budget
ays:
'AmonRtho initiative measures that
are to be voted upon at tho election
ncct November la one to create Ncs
mlth county by taking portions ot
Lane and Douglas counties. This Is
a measure which Is ot courso only ot
direct Interest to the people residing
In tho districts affected, but under tho
provisions ot the law, it Is to be voted
upon by tho people of the entire state.
Judging from matter that Is being
sent out by the commercial clubs of
Lane and Douglas counties the great
majority of thj? residents ot those sec
llona are opposed to the. bill and the
only ones there are who aro favoring
K are those who ard endeavoring to
create- a real estate boom in what Is
to be the now county seaL That be
ing tho case, tho one thing for electors
who reside outside the affected dis
tricts, to do is vote against IL The
fact ot tho matter is that the method
now In vogue for the division ot coun
ties is altogether wrong. Such ques
tions should be left cntltvly to the
pcoplo whoso homes are In tho section
directly- concerned and whoso Inter
cits are thus affected and not to the
voters ot the state at large, (he major
ity ot whom know or caro absolutely
nothing about the matter at Isaue.
One grave danger of granting these
petitions for divisions ot counties by a
vote ot the people of the entire stato
Is that so mo time the question may
come closer to home. Some one, for
instance, may want to get up a peti
tion to dlvtdu our own county and
under tho existing law, the people ot
other sections of the state would de
termine tho question by their votes.
The safer way is to kill all measures
of this Hnd that come up and thus
nip all prospective petitions in the
bud, at least until such time as the
state laws are amended so as to pro
vide for what may be termed "home
rule," by restricting the vote on theso
strictly local measures to the voter
residing within tho district con
cerned." MR. VOTER.
Do you think tt right to vote to
create now counties and double tholr
expenses. You can not know condi
tions in remote counties and should
vote against all division and vote for
tho law allowing counties to settle
their local matters among themselves.
Thanks for the Pool.

Humorous Dlvison Measures

"Business men ot Oregon will do
well to tnke note of tho Innumerable
county division bills for tho considera
tion of the pcoplo noxt fall. Already
so many division measures havo been
tlta.d with tho secretary of statu thav
If half of them aro adopted tho map
ot Oregon will bo so changed that It
will not bo recognised oven by a na
tive son," declares the Pendleton Knst
Oregonlan in Its lsue uf July 25.
"Furthermore tho Indiscriminate
creation of now counties caunot fall
to Increaio taxation, This state can
not create ten now counties and pro
vide for ten addltonal sots of county
officers and hope to get along with
present levies. The dlvlsloalsts make
assertions to tho contrary. Rut that
Is 'campaign' talk. That snmo argu
ment was advanced In favor of tho
creation of Hood lllver county. Yet
B. A. Cchirfler, a Pendleton tailor who
owns property in Hood Itlvcr, found
bis taxes Increased 61.4 per cent tho
tlrst year of the now county's exist
ence. It Is the hlstorr of evcrv new
county that division brings on Increas
ed taxation. This Is only natural.
"Another feature ot theso division
fights is tho fact that division meas
ures aro sprung when tho people re
siding In tho proposed now counties
do not want division at all. Tako for
Instance tho Orchard county schemo.
Manifestly the pcoplo residing In tho
greater portion or that proposed conn
ty do not want division. Two of tho
four towns included In Orchard coun
ty aro hotly opposed to tho dlrislon.
They aro Weston and Athena. They
havo good reason for being opposed.
Division will mean Increased taxation
and that business now held by Athena
and Weston will be diverted to Walla
Walla. Milton people Imagino they
will get that business. Dut they
won'L Milton is practically a suburb
ot Walla Walla and such It will al
ways remain. If Orchard county car
ries, that business will bo lust to this
stato.
"Tbo Orchard county mcasuro was
drafted in secret by a little clique of
Mil too business men. It Is purely a
eeUlsh measure. Representative men
living right In Milton and In Pre
water ard opposed to the proposition.
In communications to this paper they
have ao declared tnomselves.' Krcn
tho nowspapers of Milton and Prcewa-H
ter have foiled to tako up with the
proposition. Neither tho Frcowator
Times or tha Milton Eagle advocates
the division measure editorially and
this fact has caused much commenL
The Weston Leader and the Athena
Press bare declared themselves as
utterly opposed to division.
LET POPULATION INCREA8E.
Counties Where Division Agitated too
Sparsely Settled.
Tho Prinerlllo Itorlew sizes up the
situation wisely when It says that tho
population In most of tho counties
where county- division Is being agi
tated is too small and scattering.
Many of the districts are too sparsely
settled to permit the scheme Resi
dent and property owners would bo
taxod so high that it would mean ruin
to a large number. Walt until tho
counties havo more people and tho list
of taxables warrant county division,
advises tho Roriew as follows:
"It would bo unwise to make any
sort of division of Crook County Just
now. It is too thinly settled yeL In
due course of time, when tho parent
county shall havo attained 25,000 or
30.000 and the list of taxables war
rants it, dlrislon will be suro to come;
it is Inevitable. Dut It is not business
sanity to dtvldo a county of less than
10,000 souls, and a moment of sober
reflection should convince any one ot
this. When tho proper time arrives
ana a Just county division law is en
acted, tbo throo cities most concern
ed, Madras, Redmond sad Rend, all
ot which havo division schemes in
mind, can sottlo the matter botweon
themselves, Dut so long as tho wholo
state is required to vote upon a mat
ter with which only a small part is
even romotely concorned, wo would
adviso electors to voto an emphatic
NO, not only on tho Doschutes propo
sition, but every other county bill,"
, NE8MITH COUNTY.
The idea of creating Nosmlth coun
ty is commendable but is tbo manner
of creating it commendablo. It is
hoped that in time a Nesmlth county
will be formed, but it should bo done
ifl a arajr that would bo approvod-bH
mm 11 ne woro with ms today. Just as
well ask the people' of Portland to
voto for tne county officers of Lane
county, or the city officers of Eugene,
is to vote to cro&l Nosmlth county
nd this applies as well to all tho pro-
oied new counties.
