Tbe orux of the tax ques tion fioes beyond the probate court of -any county. When yon plaoe it where it aotualJy belongs it'resti with tbe legislature. There may be honest differences of opinion in tbe contrac tion of county roads, for, instanoe. But the present high taxes are not caused by road bnilding in Umatilla oonnty no, not on your ' tin-type. ' Tbe apportionment for loads in this oonnty this year is not A 1-2 mills, bo let us proceed direot to tbe real tax factory. Recently the Portland Jonr nal took tbla squib from the Portland Oregonian as a text for an article: "Tbe state must be extiloated from tbe tax bog in wbiob it has been plunged by too liberal expenditures of , poblio money. Tbe Oregonian does , not at all soy that. Governor West is solely responsible for present pondi tions. -Everybody is responsible Oregonian. ,i , i .None more than tbe Oregonian, re . 4 I T 1 ' . 1 .

"Oregon will quite likely go dry in November. The .state-wide prohibi tion sentiment is already strong In this state, and will be fanned into flame ty tbe small army of anti-saloon spellbinders who are te flock Into Oregon, beginning next April. ' "Bot although Oregon is voted dry, it doesn't follow that tbe state will be dry in fact." Tbe same old problems will arise, tbe same old gam-shoe and speak-easy aobemes of law evasion that have aooompanied prohitition elsewhere. Tbe oanse will continue to suffer beoanse of tbe virtual part nership between tbe federal govern ment and tbe liquor tiaffio. Tbis oonstitotes too great a handicap. "What tbe Leader would like to see is the saner amoant of ! effort de voted to national, prohibition that is now devoted to desultory, - piecemeal and ineffective prohibition.

It ,was sufficient that a proposal for economy emanated from the governor's office down with it was tbe slogan of tbe A' senate and honse maohioefv and with It was tbe voioe of tbe Oregonian. Tbe Oregonian laogbed when the gang laughed. It wept wben tbe gang wept. It was glad wben tbe .gang was glad. It was for putting the gov ernor "in a bole" whenever tbe gang was for putting the" governor "in a bole." . Whenever West vetoed an appro Dilation bill and the maobine crowd passed it over tbe veto, tbe Oregonian pointed to the result with pride. It patted tbe gang on tbe back. It en oonraged tbe bandits to new endeav ors, It called tbe state to witness bow the patriotio legislators - were showing the "foolish governor" his platie. Tbe Oregonian simpered and smiled wben tbe gang passed the notorious tbcasand-dollar Carpenter approprla tlon over tbe governor's veto. It was oomplaoent when Ibe ooutplrators passed 10 bills raising officials sslar I s in 12 counties over tbe governor's veto. ;;. It applauded wben tbe machine passed tbe f 1.2F 0,000 general appro priation bill over tbe veto iu wbiob there were nearly 1 300,000 of Items of foreign appropriations to wbiob tbe governor bitterly objected. It ap proved wben the gang put the emer gency olanie on tbe vetoed bill so tbe people oouldn't reaob it with the ref erendum. " The total appropriations for tbe two years an a result of tbe gang's au- daoiona operations are 18,850.000.49. That is the sum taxpayers most dig op for 1913 and 1914,; 1 History oannot be' repealed. It is tut a year slnoe the faols herein de scribed .transpired. Tbe Oregonian was a cart of the conspiracy in the last legislature. It was tbe publloity medium. It backed tbe gang. It sponsored the program. " It tossed tbe bosses. It lubrloated tbe machine.
