FEBRUARY 25, 19H ------' Kveryone who Is Interested In getting n square deal for the west side of Crook county In road expenditure, and who - wnntA to pet at the truth In re- - gnnl to county affairs. Is urged to be present at the County - Court meeting next WctfncMht), March 4. ------ --- THE COURT HOUSE STENCH. Elsewhere In this paper the re port of Judge Springer expert, re garding county affairs Is pretty thoroughly covered. The allegations It makes against officials are Indi cated, and, as regards the sheriff and the assessor, tholr side of the case Is stated. Briefly, Judgo Sprtagor, through tho medium of his Investigator, al leges Crook county Is administered by crooks with one notable exception, himself. The embers at suspicion which he has fanned at the court house for many months, and which now flicker Into flame, make incense for the nostrils of this Only Honest Man. the County Judge. At least, It Is so Intended. Without hesitation The Bulletin states Its belief that the entire re port was instigated as n political move. That does not necessarily condemn Its findings, hut It does Im pugn Its motives. We believe the expert was directed, at least tacitly, to find some mud to sling. He has earned his money by obeying Instruc tions. - Election time approaches; the Judge hates his fellow officials, and seeks their political extermination. A previous expert he secured for a county audit managed to produce only a farcical report which repre sented nothing at nil except a waste of taxpayers' money. For the most part, as Indicated In the news stories and communica tions relative to It, we believe the Ball report untrustworthy, and, If not malicious, at least so weakly based upon Tic t and knowledge that It Is next to negligible. The holy row stirred up by Spring er In regard to the sheriff's "swip ing" of his own tax rolls has blown up in thin smoke. There Is no doubt whatever that the sheriff was in the right In this fracas. He has been sustained In his actions absolutely. Nothing was accomplished by the Springer spasm but a waste of Judic ial energy and, probably, some more county cash. The whole affair was an effort to get the sheriff "In bad" with voters; no one should be de ceived on this bead. Mr. Hiking, In n letter printed iri this Issue, makes a comprehensive and fair reply to the report In this regard. The insinuations against the as sessor, as Indicated elsewhere In this paper, we regard as utterly false, while the legal opinions and dedu - tlons or the "expert in connection with this office are ridiculous. We havo always believed, and have given voice to our conviction, that tho surveyor's office has been eon ducted with gross extravagance and perhaps Incompetence and has been little short of a convenient meal tick et for that officer's entire family. On one head we do sympathize with Judgo Springer. If his talk for economy is sincere, we are with htm. But we first wish to assure ourselves that be Is sincere. Frankly, we find It hard to swallow virtuous plans for economy, as promulgated by Mr. Springer, without a grain of salt and a secret suspicion that after all thev are but the old, old gag of appealing to tho voters with the "lower taxes ' uong. We understand that some of Mr. Springer's own shortcomings as an economist arc soon to seo the light of day. Thuro is good reason to hellove that a decided effort is to be made to stop further investigation of tho hooks. True, it Is likely that the present "expert Investigation" Is far cical and probably malicious. But the faat remains that It there Is an effort to choke off light from county finan '- - -- - - n cial affairs, a bowl of criticism, and Just aritlclsm, will rise. Wo would bo sorry to seo any county officers al low themselves to be placed in such a ItoloV Instead, they should do all they can to get their financial affairs sifted to the bottom, once and for all. The allegation is made that the de linquent taxes have not been collect- cd properly for many years! that the ttmo tins co'me when tho backsliders should bo forced to pay up; nnd that effort to check such procedure may bo expected from thoso who woul.l suffer, nnd who will try to stop ur thcr Investigation because It might result In costing them money.' On this head Tho Bulletin urges that a i thorough nccouutluK bo mndo. If the sheriffs ofllco has boon remiss, lt ' known and lot Its incumbent . "' -S( nn, ncomintl, ror; by M lnonn8 ,8t 0)0 vo,ora know ao tnat cmm can be given tho sheriff and discredit ac corded thoso who nought to Injure him with false accusations. Certain ly thero Is no reason why thoso who pay tholr taxes en oh year should, through an ever-Increasing levy, bear the burdens of the delinquents who nro allowed to escnpo tholr respon sibilities It such actually is the case. THE ROAD ROBBERY. Tho west side of Crook county has had some hard knocks In Its time, when It comes to paying taxes and then seeing them spent, but undor the Springer regime It has suffered more than evor. As the statistics show, this por tion of the county has had tho privi lege of paying the brunt of tho taxes, nnd then the pleasure of seeing them spent elsewhere. The recent order of tho court appropriating $25,000 for remote eastern districts Is a last straw. In the past tho west side has been more or less powerless. It has pos sessed taxable timber, but precious little population nnd population Land Plaster We Expedt a Car About MARCH 1 Order Now The United Warehouse Co. A. M. Pringle, Mgr.

Tho west flldo has witnessed the annual harvesting of tho politi cal plum crops In tho "old" districts, season after season, olthur too weak to object or too stupid to combine Its strength and mnko Its objections of consideration.
