WAY PAVED FOR
PROPER AUDIT
(Continued from pugo one.)
Deputy Sheriff Van Allen heforo a
body of taxpayers, I take It that the
olllco Is not going to comply with nn,
order of tho court for Immudlnto no
tion on mild roll because he, Van
Allen, cluluiH thu office la over
worked. "I urn writing you If this order Is
not obeyed notlnu will bo ordered for
forfeiture of bond.
"Yours trul)'.
"(J. SPItlNflBR. .
"Prlnevlllo. Feb. 18. 1914. Judge."
Tho expert. Mr. Van Allen said,
had had the 1907 tax roll In his pos
session some 22 dnya and was nppnr
ontly mo nearer nil ond than over.
"Now that this thing has started."
ho said, "I want a full and complete
Investigation but I want one made by
a competent auditor who will know
what he Is doing."
Tho Mine position was taken by
other olllclals and finally the atten
tion of tho meeting waa railed to sec
tion 10 of chapter SSI ot the 1913
session laws, which reads ns follows:
"From and after-Mannary 1, 1914.
tho state Insurance commissioner
shall at least once each year make a
careful and accurate audit of the
books and accounts of each Institu
tion or oltleer, expending state
money, and of the booka ami no
count of each county of the state."
This section made It clear that an
audit of the county book by the In
surance commissioner waa due to
eomo and that money spent for any
other examination waa thrown away
and resolutions were adopted palling
on the county court to discharge
Bprlnger's "export" at once and re
quest the Insurance coinmlMloner to
make the audit. Judge M. B. Ilrlnk
was delegated to present tho resolu
tions to tlio court, and all trooped
up stairs to the court room.
What Happened lu Court,
llaro the fireworks began. Judge
Ilrlnk told of tho meeting that had
just ended and road to the court
tho ruHolutlnutt Unit had hcou adopt
ed, muting hy iinMiik Ihnt nil who
wore In fuvor of tho resolution to
say 'Ayo." Tho chorus thnt oniiio
showed tho feeling nt tho tnxiuiyurfl
nrenoiit nnd Hhownd Hprliiger that ho
lind dually run Into n snttu. He roue
lo reply, however, ami tried to sug
Host that tho resolutions were Intend
ed simply to end tho Inquiry Into
county nrfalrs, paying no attention
to thu liiHurniu'o cnmiulsHloner end of
them, llu also iinulo ruforonco to
the 1907 tux rolls and crltlqrlsnd
Deputy Van Allen for n hitler he hud
sent out to delluituoiits, Later the
imputy veiuimeiitiy aiiHworml that tlie
lottur rofurred to tho mntter of dou
ble assessments and domiiuded that
(he rolls be returned (o him by Hall
tli.it he (Van Allen) might llutsh hi
work.
0. P. Putnnm, unswerliig the
jildge'n Insinuation that the resolu
tions oi Intended to put nn end tn
tho audit of tho county books, de
nied thnt those who were In favor of
tho resolution favored the stoppage
ot the Investigation. They wanted
the Investigation1 cnrrlrd on, he said,
mid nil county olllces examined by the
Insurance commissioner as provided
by law.
Following thlH, Springer tried to
belittle the nrralr by saying only n fow
had answered "Aye," whereupon
Judge Ilrlnk called on his supporters
to rise, and nearly ovaryoue lu the
room got niton his feet. "Thai's
(julto n Utile handful, to bo sure."
said Judge Springer, "hut ns many
tast week otod to have Ilia expert
keep on."
"iei..i lir.mnli. tl,u lii,t'l u
voice cnlled out, and then several
voice cried. "Von did."
Hero Judge Hrluk iigalu called at
tention to thu words of the resolu
tion urging that the Inauraneo oom
iifrslouer bo nnked lo main the
Investigation nnd Hall be dlseharged
forthwith, and while he was still talk
ing Comtnlsatoner Haylny said: "I
mnko that motion." Coianrtssloner
llrnwn said: "I second It." and Ihe
motion waa pasted with Judge
Rprlnger still clawing the air.
The Meeting Springer Packed.
Kxartly how Kortnger packed the
house at the previous meeting of the
Court, when his friends stood behind
him In Muffing the eommlMloHsra In
to continuing the "expert", Is shown
by the following letter. It waa sent
out to senrea of voters In the north
end of the county.
Prlnevllle, Ore.. Peb. 3, 1114.
"Dear lr:
"At the request of the Conntv
Judge the Cmiuly Court employed
an expert to go over the tax rolls.
"The Sheriff after oMce hours at
night broke Into the Circuit Judge's
OHIre where the work was being done
and stole away the rolls and refutes
the expert the use nf them except by
piece meal, evidently endeavnrlngSo
prevent a thorough Investigation.
"I telegraphed the fact to Circuit
Judge llradshaw nnd he says he Is
powerless lo art In the matter, I
cnlled hla attention to the fact that
a very large sum, nearly $7,000 of
delinquent taxes Mere very suddenly
handed fn after thli work began.
"I am calling the Commissioner
together next Monday at I o'clock a
m. There will be a large nmnber nt
taxpayers lo nrgo (tin Comhtliitlotinrn
