WHY?
Why was tho usual procedure In
such cases reversed and tho highest
bidder awarded the timber cruising
contract, despite an additional cost
to tho taxpayers ot from $13,000 to,
perhaps, $10,000, aboro tho amount
that appears to havo been really re
quired ?
Why, In view of the criticism which
they must hate known tholr action
would evoke, did not the members ot
tho County Court who favored such
a move explicitly state the reasons'
upon which tbey acted ?
Why Is there a timber cruise any
way?
How many taxpayers havo evor
whispered a word about tho neccsst
ty for sueb'a cruise, or heard It ser
iously discussed
Disregarding tho rights and the
wrongs ot tho contract for tho mo
ment, why is It that tho County
Court ever got so far as to consider
such an award, without thorough In
vestigation, when It appears probable
that it has no legal right to under
tako such & cruise and when It Is
mora than likely that it the cxrenscs
(probably moro than $40,000) nro
undertaken the results will be with
out appllccblo valuo to tho county?
Tbo matter is not ono of Impor
tance to any onuMocallty or to any
special class, oftpeoule. Timber own
ers, so far aafcan bo ascertained, arc
perfectly willing that a crulso be
made; they will pay no more or no
less, proportionately to the value of
their property, than anyono else,
'As the bills fall upon ever taxpayer,
how they are Incurred Is tho affair of
ever' voting citizen, no matter where
he may reside or what his possessions
arc.
Before too harsh criticism Is In
dulged In, or injunction or other
steps undertaken, it is well to give
every opportunity for a complete
airing.
It looks very much as If it Is up to
tho county commissioners to do
little explaining. True, there Is no
legal requirement that the members
of tho court account for their actions;
the rejection and acceptance of bids
is a discretionary matter, technically
speaking. Hut in a case of this kind
It Is fair to expect so mo disregard for
such technicalities, and to request
explanatory light on a vexed Issue.
The county commissioners may have
good reasons for their aetlon. If they
have. In fairness to themselves and In
fairness to every taxpayer in tbo
county, they should mako such
reasons public.
Whatever tho respective merits
and domorlts of tho two men, It Is
undeniable that Tatt never can be
truly a people's candidate and that
Roosovolt Is, from his very nature,
Just that. Hoosovclt'a human
characteristics, moro than his record,
his attainments or his political past,
explain his peculiar popularity. Ho
Is American all tho way through;
there Is something In him to which a
mild form ot hero worship fastens
Involuntarily. Americans like n man
who docs things, and does them well;
shooting, riding, swimming, sailing,
fishing, tennis, boxing and all tho
rest ot tho Colonel's many recre
ations may not Iks necessities In a
presidential candidate hut thoy do go
a long way In fastening Amorlcan
affection and respect to him. Per
haps It Is truo that "nobody loves a
fat man"; at least, It Is undonlablo
that Taft'a makeup, mental and
physical, Is not ono that commands
an tnslstant warmth. All ot which
In no wlao argues that Tatt Is not tho
equal In brain and ability ot the
other, but simply that his qualities
do not "tako" as do Roosevelt's.
In adltlon to being an amusoment,
moving pictures aro coming to bo ac
cepted moro and more as an cduca
tlonal institution. Tho films, depict
ing scenes from all parts ot the
globe, mako an excellent and valu
able substitute for actual traveling.
The picture-records of current ovonts
of Importance aro remarkably effec
tive In keeping peoplo who read lit
tle In touch with tho trend ot affairs
of tho world. Altogether, It Is small
wonder that somo metropolitan
schools are adopting regular moving
picture lessons. In connection with
geography, history and current
events classes.
Lawyers rulo tho land. Kvery
presidential candidate and near-can-dldato
is a lawyer. Nine-tenths of
tho political ofllces in tho United
States are held by men who formeily
followed the legal profession
Fowor lawyers and moro men endow
ed with broad educations and aaue
business Judgments is a political con
summation devoutly to bo hoped for.
Hacked by a widespread press pub
licity work for which someone Is
paying Harry K. Thaw, millionaire
murderer of Stanford White, is
again getting into tho limelight
Tho object of the present movement
is to release Thaw from Mattewan,
where he haa been held as mentally
deranged. The grounds for tho pro
posed release are that Thaw is now
sane. Again, perhaps, wo are to bee
the law made a puppet of tho rich and
a laughing stock for tho wealthy
criminal. When Thaw was being
tried many said: "Ho wll never be
convicted ho is too powerful." Es
caping the richly merited electric
chair, ho was adjudged mentally do
ranged, after a tedious trial wherein
legal technicalities and trifling de
tails were permitted to overshadow
the grave fundamentals at stake.
After a -few years In the asylum It is
now possible, if not probable, that be
will emerge unscathed. That such
an outcome ia posalblo Is a crying
shame. If Thaw is sane now, he was
uano enough it tho tlmo of the mur
der to receive Jts consequenecse.
Bone or not sane, such a depraved
OBJECTS TO COURTS ACTION
T I M D E R
To tho Editor of Tho Tlullotln:
The proposed cruising of Crook
county's timber at thts time, In my
estimation, la absurd.
Pretty surely even If tho County
Court does go ancsil witb tno pro
posed cruise, It will have no value.
Estimating the timber, like assessing
tho other lands. Is the -duty of the as
sessor. No other authority can un
dertake this work, and after getting
the figures no ono olso can force the
assessor to use them In other words
we are going to spend many thousand
dollars for nothing at all except tho
profit of some estimators.
Who on .earth startod all this, any
way? How many taxpayers want
the timber cruised?
Another thing. Tbo figures that
now exist aro as accurate as any can
be. Take those "Pop" Woods has,
for instance. He has cruising re
ports on some 400,000 acres. All
tho big companies accept his figures
as accurate. It would be pretty
nearly Impossible to Improve on
them.
And on tho rest of tho timber, lots
of men In the county, who may or
may not bo Interested In tho proposed
deal, have complete reports. In
other words, If this contract ever Is
let, all tho lucky speculator who gets
It has to do Is to pay a few thousand
dollars for all tho data that already
