WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER S, 1913.
SPRINGER COLUMN.
"When County Judgo Springer made
his voluntary effusion at Laldlaw
last Thursday, Inflicting upon tho au
dience personal politics and a rough
shod attempt to stem a growing un
popularity, he stated In no impost
tlvo terms that he had been grossly
misrepresented by the press ot Crook
county. Only about four papers In the
county have been honest enough to
speak their opinion of our county
judge, so of course these must stand
tho brunt ot the Judicial attack. 11a
It added that but one paper has ever
ventured even a halting defense of
Mr. Springer.
Of course The Rulletln is tho chief
target for Mr. Springer's 'criticism,
for this paper has been unkind
enough, or straightforward enough,
as you care to consider It, to say ex
actly what it thinks ot our chief ex
ecutive. Its opinion has not been
complimentary. It also has reiorted.
faithfully and accurately, some of
the absurdities of the Springer re
glme and has allowed Its readers to
know, so far as it could, something
of tho peculiar gyrations of tho
Judge.
At the Laldlaw meeting the editor
ot The Dullettn stated that neither
The Bulletin nor any other paper, so
far as ho knew, had ever misrepre
sented or mlsreported Judgo Spring
er. This statement The Bulletin now
repeats. Jn connection with good
roads, the worst this paper has said
concerning Mr. Springer Is absolutely
true: It reported the Initial meeting
of the Roads Association, and told
truthfully that Mr. Springer appear
ed and went on record against the
work of the association unlets, for
sooth, it should endorse his tax as
sessment hobby. It was, as then
stated, a ridiculous, childish and im
politic attempt to mako an unreason
able swap.
Since then Mr. Springer has
changed front. Even he saw that
his anti-good roads stand would land
him In the political junk heap fast
er than is otherwise Inevitable.
and so he "flopped." He now
announces himself a dyed-in-the-wool
good roads enthusiast and a
worker for the bond Issue. Wo are
sincerely glad that Mr. Springer will
aid this movement and this excellent
work,, for he can be of assistance.
But we do wish to state again that It
at any time Mr. Springer has been
mlsreported. It Is simply beeause no
newspaper caa be sufficiently agile to
keep abreast of his many shifts from
one side of the fence to the other.
At Laldlaw Mr. Springer further
stated that he could get no hearing
in the loeal -papers becauso, chlofly,
none is Democratic. That is absurd.
For Instance, while The Bulletin Is
not a Democratic, paper In the
straight meaning of the term, it did
support Wilson to the best or Its abil
ity, and In county politics It worked
for Addle Foster and for Warren
Brown, both Democrats.
In county affairs- It is not parties
that count but personalities. If
Sprlngor was the right sort of man
for his Job, The Bulletin wouldn't
care a continental If he was a Dem
ocrat, Republican, Bull Mooser or
Mormon. And even as it is, we pro
pose that Mr. Springer shall have no
legitimate opportunity to say that be
can not get a hearing In any Crook
county newspaper. Wherefore The
Bulletin hereby offers tho Judgo the
free and unrestricted use of a column
each week, In which Mr. Springer
may have printed anything he cares
to send In. This should give him a
first class opportunity to get Just
what he wants to say before the peo
ple, and we pledge ourselvestp print
whatever comes to us exactly as It
comes provided only that the length
be reasonable and the subject matter
not Indecent.
Hereafter we shall reserve a col
umn evory week. If Mr. Sorlneer
nas a message, nere is ills opportun
ity to present It to the people. The
Bulletin is sending him an Invita
tion today to utilize this space let
us nope no win accept.
HELP THE FJ8HING.
The Bulletin wonders how many
local sportsmen are aware that a law
engineered by the recent Legislature
permits fishing in the Desobutes dur
ing the entire year, provided no fish
under 10 Inches In length are taken
from the stream?
Such a law exists. That it is ab
surd and unnecessary, so far as the
Deschutes is concerned, we believe
all will admit. Even with the regu
lar open-season fishing the Deschutes
is being fished out fast enough nay,
entirely too fast and It will require
a continued activity on the part of
the state gamo authorities to keep It
satisfactorily replenished.
All that Is necessary to have tho
law sot rtght, so far as tho Deschutes
Is concerned, Is to petition tho statu
game authorities to enact a special
ruling for' this river, prohibiting fish
ing, no mntter what tho slio of tho
fish caught out of upon season. Tho,
sooner such petitions nro worked up
the butter, for as It Is anyono can (Ish
and no one can Ixj arrested unless
fish under 10 Incite actually nru
found In his possession. Here Is n
splendid opportunity for our Rud
and dun Club.

According tn Government statis
tics the number ot beef cattlo In the
United States has decreased, slnco
1S67. from 61.6C8.000 to 30,030.000.
and the number of sheep from 63,
240.000 to 51,480.000. while In the
same period the population ot tho
country hns Inorensod by 10,000,000.
That Is, the supply has dlmlnlshod
even inoro rapidly than tho demand
hns Increased. During this period
the price of fat cattle nt Chicago has
advanced more thau 60 per cont.
Among tho remedies suggested by
speakers nt the Packers Convention
at Chicago tho other day, as quoted
in the Literary Digest, Is the follow
ing pertinent suggestion, among
others: That every small farmer
should raise at least two beef stcors
a year to offset tho decreased pro
duction of tho great ranches.
Even In the Central Oregon terri
tory the supply hns decreased while
the population has undoubtedly
doubled In the last six years. So the
big national problem hns local appli
cation. The small farmer here
could do no better than to devote a
portion ot his attention to a crop tJie
price ot which is steadily udvanclng
and ono where "oir years" ore unknown.

Leaflet on Good Roads
Tho following Is the text of a little leaflet being Is
sued By the Crook County Good Roads Association, con
taining n description ot the coming road bond Issue and
some argumonts favoring It:
Oa November Fourth you will vote upon tho ques
tion of bonding Crook county for 4200,000 to be used for
the construction of a permanent highway north and south,
through the county. '
If you nro far-sighted If you recognize a good la
vestment you will voto for this bond Issue.
Tho election will be held under the provisions ot tho
new act which permits counties to bond themselves up to
2 per cent of their assessed vnluatlon.
Tho bonds will draw not more than C por cont: that
is, to pay interest on them will cost the county not more
than 112,000 a yeur. The bonds will run for 20 years.
At the end of 10 years a sinking fund to pay them off will
be started.
The construction of tho read will bo entirely under
tho supervision or the Stnto Highway Commissioner, and
all expenditures will be made through his oMlce.
Tho proposed highway In Crook county commences
near Cross Keys, at tho north, and goes south to Klam
ath county via the towns ot Madras, Metolius, Culver,
PrlnevUle. Redmond. Laldlaw, Bend nnd Lu Pine. Tho
Highway Commissioner has boon over all the routo, which
Is about 120 miles In length. He has heartily recom
mended It. A straight, well graded, broad, well drained
and well bridged road Is what he will build.
Tho County Court has officially pledged Itself to
spend practically all the direct tax money available for
road work, If tho bond Issue carries, in Improvement ot
east and west roads, and roads In outlying districts. This
means that the districts not on the through rout.) will re
ceive fnr groator direct benefits trom read Improvement
than wss ever before olble.
On the south, Klamath county has agreed to con
nect tho proposed highway with a through road to CuJ
Ifornla. On the north, connection will be made with tho
great scenic highway bajug built up the Columbia. This
Hleatis tliut Crook county will have th central and most
profitable link of the greatest uorth-and-south' highroad
on the Pacific Coast.
Jackson county, which has Just had an election, ex
pects to gats Its 1600.000 back for its 60 miles of north-anU-BOuth
road in 1016 alone the Exposition year. Tn
IKiople tbero voted more than three to one for the bonds.
Crook county should reap u larger harvest In 1916 than
Jackson itosslbly can.
A striking example or what good roads mean is seon
in Klamath county. In the Wood River valley alone, the
oxpondlture or about $200,000 In road Improvement in- '
creased the average value ot 66,000 acres (26 an aero.
This means practically a cash return of jl, 626,000 on un
Investment or 1200,000.
The' Increase or taxes for Interest on the bonds will
be Infinitesimal. Tho direct returns to nvtry taxpayer
will bo enormous. YOU will not have to pay for the
bonds. Those who come later will pay when there are
many more people, when values are higher and you
reap the greatest benefits now. '
The highway does not mean simply that new peoplo
and new money will be Induced to come here. It does
not mean only that the people with automobiles will
benefit and they will be saved hundreds of thousands
of dollars. It does not mean solely that land values will
be Increased, that Crook county will be "put on the map."
Chiefly It means that the farmers ot Crook county will
profit. For the construction of one good road means
that others nfust follow. Tho through highway will re
lieve the county of the cost of maintaining a poor road for
this traffic, for the State will assumo tho up-keep of this
highroad, once t Is constructed, Just as Washington has
done vlth similar roads. This will permit tho expendi
ture of thousands or dollars on lateral and outlying roads.
The bad road tax ot today Is enormous, it hits the
farmer hardest. The unnecessary depreciation upon
6000 wagons, because of bad roads, Is oaslly $60,000 a
year. The unnecessary cost or transporting 60,000 tons
of produce or materials Is $26,000. The farmer is tho
losgr.
Whe'n roads are built by direct tax. tha faimer
whoso property adjoins the road pays for ull or it. When
roads are built by bond Issue everyone In the county
helps pay the town man just as much as the farmer.
About four-fifths of the $200,000 will be spent In
labor. This means that by far the greater part of tho
money will stay In Crook county.
As the sinking fund grows. It will bo available for
loans to farmers, at 6 per cent, as provided by state law.
i Tho day of bad roads Is ended. Crook county must
get on the band wagon of progress. Will you holp?
Don't be content to cast your vote only, but get out
among your neighbors and see that all the men and all
the women go to the polls and
