Chapman Calls
Burdick Politics
Hippo-Colossus!
In tho Oregon Voter, Its editor. C.
C. Chapman, In a discussion of tho
membership of the forthcoming legis
lature, picks upon a Crook county
man as the political freak of tho out
fit. This one, says Chapman, Is a
"polltlco-hlppo-colossus, who per
forms the amazing feat of bestriding
four prancing nags at one and the
same lime."
"Our hero," continues Chapman,
'Is none other than Denton O. Bur
dick, who represents tho five broad
minded and broad-acred counties of
Crook, Grant Jefferson. Klamath and
Lako, probably the largest state rep
resentative district In the world, as
it comprises 26,718 square miles, be
ing nearly as big as the state of Fenn
siyvanla. '
The funny part of It Is that Mr.
Durdlck la an honest man, who did
not have to strain his deep convic
tions a particle to accept nomina
tions of all four parties under the
' atated requirements of our wonderful
nominating system Invented in Ore
son." . .
Vor our new Joint representative
appeared on tho ballot under tbo aus-
pkes of the iiepuuiicau. ucuiuv.v.v,
Progressive and Prohibitionist par
ties' And. by the way, Mr Busdlck
stated positively the other day that
he was taking no hand in the legal
light against the creation ot Des
chutes county. He said he had re
fused to go In vklth the other at
tornlcs actively Interested and that
so far as he Is concerned he stands
ready to see tho new county formed,
now that the votes have been count
ed. , -

SCHOOL DISTRICT TAX LEVY
IS SEUT II MILLS
Few Present nt Meeting This Morn
ing Valuation or District Is $!,
7117,000, Iteliig Dig Increase.
A tax levy ot 17 mills for School
District 12 for tho coming year was
voted nt a meeting ot taxpayers held
this forenoon lu the council room.
Besides two members of thn board,
tho clerk and n newspaper reporter,
there wore only six taxpayers pres
ent. The problem in levying n Rrhool
tax tor tho coming year, ns stated
nt the meeting, was to deeldo what
tho growth of tho district would bo
In the coming year. An Increase of
40 per cent lu the teaching force wns
provided tor lu tho estimates, nnd
tho totnl luvy, bnsed on the hoard's
estimates of It needs, would have
been placed at 20 mills.
Because much ot thu population
which Is benefitting from thu school
system la not this year contributing
to Its support lu valuations or taxa
tion, It was thought thnt anything
beyond ordinary running expenses,
should bo eliminated from tho bud
get nnd n portion ot nuy Increase In
tho teaching force- bo paid In war
rants rather than provided for lu
taxation. On this basis the levy was
set at 17 mills.
Thn district valuation, as of tho
first or last March, Is 11,737,000, ot
which $123,475 is public utilities.
Tho valuation of tho district last
year, with slightly different boun
daries, wns $1,377,942, bast yeur's
levy wus 12 mills.
