That Is tho only platform we chlolly de mand, plus n decent record for In tegrity and ability. And so that tho i voters ot Central Oregon may know what sUnd the various candidates arc taking In regnrd to this matter of vital Importance to them The Bui lotln Is requesting ouch one to state his position on Irrigation In gonornU and state n'd to Irrigation In par ticular. In this election state and county- parties count ltttle. person ality much, and irrigation policies a vory groat deal. A man nt Silver Iakc was fined $2 for using profane langungo in a public place. Nat having the price for the verbal luxury, he was obliged to serve 12 days tho lockup. Hor rible example! Sunday In llend day for a (r) rest. is apparently a THAT ROAD MATTER. Tho Bulletin has been criticised for the statements made last week concerning county expenditures and appropriations for road construction. Taking the records of the past, tin figures given In tho report Just Issued by the "expert" after examination of county books, and the orders contain ed In the official proceedings of the County Court, It was apparent that the west side of Crook county was getting the small end ot tho expendi tures by an overwhelming propor tion-. The article called attention to the recent appropriations ot some $26,000 (as shown by the court rec ords) mado for certain east side dis tricts. Now, some gentlemen of Prlnevllle who have been here this week, and some who have not, maintain that we are unjust In our "kick." They state that the west side has boon allotted 927,000 or more. One of them even asserted that an order showing such on allotment was In the court rec ord. In reply, wo rest oxactly whore we were lefore. The court records, as published by this nnd two other news papers, show absolutely nothing of the kind. To make certainty doubly certain, we yesterday questioned County Clerk. Brown, custodian ot the records, and he emphatically reported that no such order was entered or hinted at. The Bulletin Is not a mind reader, nor are the people ot Bend. As the figures stood, and the record's show, our contentions were entirely sound and Just. Since the publication ot the protest, we are Informed that there existed a "tacit understanding" between the. commissioners that Commissioner Bayley was to have a large amount to spend on the west side roads at his discretion. But how were west sldcrs to know that? Mr. Bayley, since the attacka Spring er has made on him and the notori ety he has received in one way and another, not unnaturally Is loath to come forward with anything In the way of publicity. Also, If any such arrangement existed, what reason Is there to believe that It Is legal, or to be sure that it will bind? Nothing but the official records can be taken by taxpayers. Here Is an Interesting point. Some of the protestors said, In effect; "Ob, that appropriation was an Idea of Messrs, Brown and Bayley, and not of Springer's, and nothing but what Springer favors gets into the rec ords." If in this special case It Is true, Springer owes an apology and an explanation not only to the two commissioners, but to every taxpayer on the west side, and the burden Is shifted entirely to his shoulders. Last, and most Important, It Is In timated that The Bulletin and others are working in a dog-ln-a-manger spirit; that is, that all we want Is to keep the east side districts from get ting any money. Emphatically, that Is absolutely without foundation. We have not known that the west side Is sure of 127,000. If such Is the case, we are delighted, and we know that there will be no further criticism from this community of tho proposed east side expenditures, although It Is possible that the legality of all the road expenditures may be at tacked by any taxpayer any time. The "bowl"-wtas mado on the understand ing (based on the official records and general information) that the east waa getting a big plum and the vest nothing. As the records stood, it was Just. If. they were wrong, we are pleased and satisfied lot the east side devel op all It can so long as we get a reas onable division of the expenditures. We will attempt to get the entlro truth by next week, and If we have been unfair, we shall say so. . MAIL ORDER TEN COMMAND fMENTS.
